> Make it work, then make it right, then make it fast.

Applies to core language choice, I used to hear a lot about rewriting interpreted langs to something faster... but the reality is that a team that's just spent 1 year making an app in python aren't going to pivot to writing Java, Go, or Rust one day. The new team isn't going to be building something new and exciting, they are going to be on a tight timeline to deliver a port of something which already exists.
I am going the opposite direction, a more squarish monitor just came out from LG. Its awesome! I run one 30 inch monitor as main, and the Dual Up which is 26 wide by 28 tall as my code monitor to the side. So much better than my old 27 inch monitor in portrait orientation.

> I'm really curious about this.

It may seem tangential as it doesn't directly answer your stated question. But in keeping with the spirit of the technical aspect of hn discussions...

Your larger dipping into economics IMHO would be well served by keeping in mind how each particular system solves the freeloader problem aka the tragedy of the commons. IMHO that's the biggest and least often addressed real world problem when dealing with actual flesh and blood humans and not philosophical humans.

That'll tell you how well a particular system will scale with size of that system, what it does with people acting in a legal way, in a way that benefits themselves in the short term, but isn't good for the rest of the group in the long term.
> Except that new browser won’t support Active-X or Java applets.

That's mostly just used for specialized websites/webapps I think (often internal)? You can still launch IE for that, and use Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser for regular browsing. It's not substantially different from using Electron for desktop apps when you think about it.

Many years ago I worked for a company that used an internal ActiveX-based application (which worked fairly well for us) and this is pretty much what everyone was doing.

The biggest hurdle is probably corporate policies and such that prevent installing any alternative to IE yourself and IT dept. doesn't want to provide you with one either, but at this point I think that's just $BigCorp's problem and I don't care any more. For the record: I take web compat fairly serious and made things compatible with IE11 up to last year, but there's a limit.
Because reflection, vetting and processing of ideas are conscious: you witness them - one can tell when it is a lookup vs "having really thought about it".
This is the "cut" I've always wanted!
Complex systems fail due to single causes exactly that way. First the system runs well; once the cause is introduced the system adapts so that the visible cost is minimal, but the adaptations are costly by themselves, and demand further adaptations; then the adaptation cycle runs for a while (that can be very long), until everything finally breaks down.

It is very unlikely that the lead pipes that were there since the beginning would be such a cause, but the duration of the fall alone is not enough evidence that it wasn't caused by an immediate problem.
Why isn't anybody trying to fix the system so it would be more efficient at directing people to the jobs they would be actually good and happy at? To me it seems this (using the human resources the optimal way) becomes more and more important nowadays. And I believe the formal education one has completed can only serve as a hint to what the best job for him is and not a direct definition of that.

This somehow makes me feel nostalgic for when the internet was more irreverent.
5 months ago, I was depressed about my work and feeling like a failure. Both in career and life. I thought I was going through midlife crisis. And my inability to make FAANG money was the cause of my problems. I posted about it here [1].

My job was not bad, I worked 30 hours or so. Had excellent benefits. My team was great and my manager was super flexible. So I thought it cannot be work that was causing me feel depressed. But I decided that I need to get into FAANG and started studying LeetCode. Also my backup plan was to move into management in my current company. I worked longer hours, and studied late into night.

However, my happiness increased, I was motivated.

About a month ago, I gave my 2 weeks notice. I didn't get into FAANG or got FAANG salary but still got a decent bump in pay raise. More importantly, I cannot remember when was last time I felt this relaxed. My average HRV increased from 40ms to 100ms.

I realized that I was not going through midlife crisis but rather feeling burned out because in my cushy job, I had no actual freedom. We were doing checkmark driven development. I could not use my best judgement to do anything but most trivial things.

It wasn't the money that was the issue also. At my new job, I believe in company's overall mission. My last company is known for being backward and surviving by financial engineering. My new company is a smaller company, so it seems I can actually make important decisions.

And most importantly I feel I am in control of my career now. However, my default will be to leave after every 1 year, unless company and work convinces me to stay for another year.

And yes I realize that I am feeling excited because of my new job and may settle back into my low state. If that happen then I will focus on moving into management or different career.

But I guess to answer your question, work has a great influence on you. If you are not feeling good about it or life, then change work now! I say that because I almost thought about divorce because I thought my wife was giving me stress.

EDIT: Thank you, HN!

That sounds a lot like "had cardiac arrest" though. The magic is in the "why" of "not paying them".
Another, related view is to look at how many was on the dole. During the late empire, around 20% of the population in Rome was effectively on welfare, getting food from the state.

Instead of drafting these poeple into the empire, Rome recruited foreigners for the army, while the productivity of the domestic population kept going down. Eventually the state, needing to pay both the welfare receipients and the army, ran out of economic capacity to provide for both groups. Stopping the dole was if possible more dangerous short term than not paying the provicial armies, since the proletariat in Rome/Constantinople could riot instantly, and overthrow any emperor.
I'm a CA foster parent, and growing up my family fostered in WI.

What you say is absolutely true. The trope of the neglectful, greedy foster parent is impossible to get away from. And if you provide love and care for the child, then you are trying to 'steal' it. Despite the fact that we formed our lives around these kids, made sure they visited and had frequent FaceTime with parents, we were still bullied by parents and agencies alike. The agencies will not hesitate to lie to foster parents to get you to agree to take a child into your home, and parents will not hesitate to lie to the state to get the child moved out. And both will throw you under the bus if anything goes wrong. Agencies receive 3/4 of the funding that should go to a child's care, apparently so irresponsible foster parents don't spend it?

Our most recent was a happy case, with the child being reunited with a healthy mother, and dad not being anywhere near. A friend had her life broken by two very high-need children born addicts with no parents around. She got them healthy, endured their severe behavioral issues and carted them to specialists many times a week. And every time she wanted to find a new foster family because she was out of money or just burnt out, the agency told her that 'adoption was right around the corner' to keep her engaged. Right up until they showed up to take them away with no notice. It was sick.

I never suggest anyone get into foster care. It's a broken system.

Afaik MacOS X didn't boot on old world PPC machines with NuBus slots, but 10.2.x can be installed on a PowerMac 9500 with a G3 upgrade and with a 32MB PCI Radeon GPU the UI was even usable. It helped that the box was also upgraded with >800MB RAM spread over 12 DIMMs as well as two 10kRPM U160 disks in HW RAID1. Still the slow 50-60MHz PPC60x bus was beyond painful.
Well, yes, the birthrates and immigration can help the U.S. but that was not the point the OP was making -- and I am making too -- Japan has showcased boundaries one can reach on relation to debt and fiscal policy; and also that negative interest rates and meddling with rates does not work per se and out of the box.

I read Finite & Infinite Games by James P. Carse after coming across it in a comment on HN. It's one of those books that changes how you view interactions with others, and puts things into perspective.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is a close second. I read this when I was going through a particularly difficult time in life, and it has stuck with me since.

David Deutsch's The Beginning of Infinity definitely changed how I look at skepticism and pessimism in general (a weird take-away, I agree).

There's only one book that I often find myself going back to, which is Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. It's a very profound work IMO, and provides a sense of grounding to me.
Although I grokked quaternions before learning GA, I am 100% certain that the GA explanation is better and more intuitive.

GA breaks down quaternions (and their generalization to arbitrary dimensions) into smaller pieces that are much more obvious.

It takes hundreds of years to invent quaternions from scratch, but it takes 10 minutes to invent quaternions from GA.

> The contrived argument I made was that USD requires a military to be stable. Bitcoin only requires proof of work.

I'm not sure I agree.

Proof of work requires a functioning Internet, functioning supply lanes for GPUs, low-ish latency, general consumer confidence in the chain, proportional miners to Bitcoin's value so that it's actually secure, etc... Not to mention that Bitcoin itself requires a lot more than proof of work to function as a usable currency.

----

Further, this is kind of begging the question a bit. Saying that the USD requires massive military presence to sustain is not the same as saying that Bitcoin requires massive energy to sustain, for all of the reasons people have talked about.

The fact that the USD military would still be around if the USD went away is the reason why the argument that military energy usage should be counted in Bitcoin's favor is a flawed argument. But if cryptocurrencies went away, we wouldn't need proof of work at all. That energy cost would legitimately vanish. And I just want to kind of jump back to that point, because if feels like there's kind of a weird slight-of-hand happening here.

----

The flow of logic we're following is:

- It's good that Bitcoin proponents otherwise play defense, otherwise we'd start talking about military costs of the USD

- Military costs of the USD are not dependent on the USD and likely wouldn't disappear if the USD went away

- Nevertheless this was just an example of a flawed argument, not a real argument

- ???

- Therefore, the arguments against crypto are similarly flawed.

But that doesn't follow. The fact that you can come up with a flawed argument for trying to use military costs as an argument for crypto, and the fact that we all kind of agree that it's a flawed argument, does not automatically imply that therefore all criticism of crypto is similarly flawed.
It took like 3 minutes before I got your point. I guess that is accurate? Or like, redefining kWh to kW58min when selling the dam electricity.
About a year ago I was chilling in my bedroom and overheard some crypto-bro shilling just outside my window. That clinched my conviction that it was just a matter of time for it all to collapse.
If that’s the case, car users should be paying _more_.

Pedestrian and bike infrastructure is peanuts in comparison to the investment and ongoing maintenance costs that car infrastructure requires.
That's partly because it's hard for apartment/condo users to charge EVs, so they buy them less compared to home owners or renters, and thus underrepresented in your stats in spite of demand for EVs among them. It's a classic chicken and egg problem.

Do you think constantly applying downward pressure on their wages and whatever minimal savings they might acquire through inflation could have something to do with economic mobility? The Fed Chairman recently complained that workers had too much power in the market (because they were demanding higher wages) and stated openly that he was going to create policy to stop that.

I really encourage you to think about what that means, and if you didn't know he said that, what it means about the places you get your news from. Why would it not be one of the biggest news stories of the year that one of the most powerful men in the world stated he was going to reduce the power of the worker?
Given that Miegakure has been “coming soon” for over ten years (maybe the dev initially planned it as a 10-year-game, but if so I wish he would’ve said so when people asked when it was coming) I’m going to suggest putting a hold on deciding whether this way of reckoning rotations results in a better development process.
why don't you try :D ? Make a clone where you're talking like Hal... see how it does ;)
> I have had a design that broke only on Safari, and I would be at my wit end on how to fix it if I didn't have a Mac on hand.

I use BrowserStack for it; for just one issue a trail account is enough, if you use it for an open source project you can request free access, and for a business it's relatively cheap.

I've got a pro account for a few of my open source projects; I don't often use it, but have on occasion (for things like you describe, and I don't have a Mac on hand).
> If engineers are hard to find then isn't using a framework that maximises developer productivity the way to go? Rails definitely falls into that category.

Languages are not like cars. You cannot take a professional Rust engineer and drop him into a Ruby environment and expect him to be immediately highly productive, as if you were switching him from a Miata to a Ferrari. Languages need to be learned all over again, their ecosystem needs to be learned, beginner code needs to be reviewed by someone senior who is more familiar with the language. You can't just make an executive decision to go with Ruby because it has a reputation for productivity and expect immediate productivity gains.

I'm a bit skeptical because my relatives have said it's almost impossible to get rid of them by any level of cleanliness -- they live on so little, including stuff like the glue from cardboard boxes.

In favor of your point, I squished one that hitched a ride home in my grocery bags once. I probably wouldn't notice that every time.
thanks for flagging!
It doesn't need to be trained any differently. We can use the current LAMDA model to do this (if we have real access).

We would put a small non-learning/non-neural interface on top of the system to implement these ideas. That interface could act like this:

* To ask for extra "thinking" text: after the underlying model stops typing, we output that text to the human user. But we then do the equivalent of pressing tab to request more text, and buffer that.

* To summarise some text (eg some of the thinking text from above), we can use another instance. We put it into summarisation mode, eg using the TLDR hack or any other method. Summarised text can be used as a prompt, or as output.

* We can bifurcate by copying instance state and starting a new instance.

These are pretty basic ideas, probably already in use, but I think they show how we can expand the system from a kind of instantaneous stimulus-response to something more interesting.

Hopefully it's clear this is not equivalent to sleep(10). In my view it doesn't make the system more intelligent, rather it allows the system to use its existing abilities more fully.

(edit: another aspect we could control would be switching the system between high-temperature modes and low-temperature modes, in different instances, and depending on what we're trying to achieve. This relates a bit to the "speculation" comment made above by another user.)

I wouldn't mind a higher PPI, but with subpixel text rendering I find that the text quality is good enough for me. I'm hoping the TV resolution arms race will continue until 8K is the new normal like 4K is now. Then you will have large displays with good pixel density.

I'm in North America and the list still feels very weird.

Going camping at a premium campsite alone (e.g. not splitting the bill with friends) only to consume $50 of beer and $15 of cigarettes is kind of a hilarious definition of camping.

FWIW, there are places where open camping is allowed in the Canada and the United States. The OP was using a specific car-camping site with reserved spots and amenities nearby.
I wouldn't necessarily fire an intern for not knowing it, but they should have been more closely watched by someone with more wisdom. Anyone who's been around the block a few times knows it's not a good idea to put potentially offensive or unprofessional things into the product, including in test environments, code comments, or other things that aren't supposed to ever make it out of the company. There's a lot more ways for that sort of thing to end up in front of a customer than you could ever predict, and it's not worth the reputation hit to the company.

I would agree that they should still re-hire him. This poor fellow probably learned the lesson that there's a time and place to joke around plenty well enough now.
What I don't agree with is the idea that there's an underlying "factual truth" here which exists in contrast or opposition to sensations. Quite a lot of educated people argue that morality is based on (or even consists entirely of) our subjective feelings about things.
Yeah, good memories of that era. I had a 7500, which was a very upgradeable machine, taking lots of memory and CPU (and cache cards - remember them?).

Mine had an annoying beat, like two fans running at slightly different speeds. Apart from that, it was a great machine, and ran Logic really well which was it's main job.
> Not to pick on the person quoted in this article, but this attitude exists all around the system; there is an implicit assumption that foster parents care less about the foster children than a neighborhood teenage baby-sitter hired for $8/hour to watch kids.

Unfortunately, there may be reasons that they assume this. Just for instance: one of every three kids in foster care are prescribed psychotropic medications, gravely alarming the American Academy of Pediatrics. Notably, foster parents taking care of a child on such a medication are paid much, much more than they would if the child is not. The statistics on child abuse in foster care are alarming as well.
I really love supercomputing but I worry whether, with a machine like this one, we get the right balance between spending on software optimization Vs spending on hardware. It used to be the case that fast hardware made sense because it was cheaper than optimising hundreds of applications but these days with unforgiving GPU architectures the penalty for poor optimisation is so high...
This has to be some kind of joke post. Or, you've never been camping. Or, more likely, you're just constructing scenarios to fit your perspective instead of being honest with yourself.

- Cigarettes and beer are a necessary part of camping?

- Not going far from home, but using ~23 liters of gas($50 @ 210/L) just to get there?

- Staying at the most expensive camp site(AA fee schedule) in Ontario?

- Paying for firewood instead of just collecting it?

- Spending $25/person/day on food?
That's why my last sentence starts with "if".

Interest rates being higher means: get your money out of that speculative crap and into something where you can take advantage of the higher rates.

But also because Bitcoin isn't what its advocates claim it is? It's speculation, not currency. Not a hedge against inflation.

In fact it's inflated worse than USD. Worth 40% less than it was a year ago.
If we are worried people are paid $18 an hour and that is too much and that gets the gas prices up -- but mainly things that are not that volatile like rent and consumer stable products -- then we are in for a rude awakening and also we live in a "slavery" driven world still.

The production of oil and supply chains is not even close to 2019 levels. Electronic manufacturing and tooling needs 1-2 years to catch up to 2019 (current) demand. Scaring investment does not help.
