I had the opportunity to go back and visit my undergrad (not Stanford) university recently, where I spent much of the 90s as a student in various states of mischief and sobriety. Maybe I am just remembering things with nostalgia-colored glasses, but it just seems so different now. So bland and vanilla. Everything that was quirky, silly, grimy, dangerous, weirdo, degenerate, beatnik, or irreverent is now gone. Every building, hall and dorm in the place looks and feels like a sterile, gray hospital now. The arcades and dive bars and unique hangouts that used to be down on the city's main road have been replaced with banks, fast food chains, clothing factory outlets, more banks, trendy bistros that spent $1M on just their logo, and so on. Everything is just soulless and cardboard now. Even the students! The guys walking around don't stink like we used to--they all have this weird happy preppy-optimist-i'm-on-camera vibe. Nobody is retching on the sidewalk or sitting in the shrubs high as a kite. Everyone just seems to be kind of nervously hustling everywhere. Feels like a foreign country honestly.
Extremely high cost of living likely makes union benefits much more appealing relative to low CoL areas.
Wouldn’t this generate a ton of heat?
I am not an out and out billionaire hater, but there are many that have legit impacted peoples' lives in a positive way or have provided jobs in the millions. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Tesla, Reliance, etc. The amount of wealth they have might not be justified, but comparing them to this crooked list of billionaires is doing disservice to the products that they have put out in society.

But I just can't empathize with the loss of billions of the crypto billionaires, all of them seem to be founders of trading apps. The whole space operates like an MLM. Get in early, shill relentlessly and just turn the other way to the numerous scams in the space.

An example (Binance in this case): https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/fintech-...

It's been over 12 years and the space is still trying to find an answer to a problem that either does not exist or is niche. For Bitcoin:

Failed as a currency

Failed as a store of value

Failed as an investment hedge

Failed as energy or whatever mumbo jumbo some billionaires like Michael Saylor spew out

I for one won't miss it even if it magically vanishes tomorrow

Speaking of which, at least now some Nvidia graphics cards are becoming available very close to MSRP :)
If I remember correctly it was facebook access, not internet. I can imagine it is security risk for local goverments. Facebook could control elections etc...

Blocking without notifiying as to WHY to make it look like another kind of failure is pretty anti-competitive at best. Bait, "yes we let you use your client with imap" becomes switch "we have enough market share to throw our weight around to hurt the competition"

You’re getting shit on for no good reason. It’s like people here have never been in a problematic relationship or had to work through things with their partners. I really hope I never have to be or deal with their partners.

You’re right. Ideally your partner should support you. You also shouldn’t be thinking of divorcing your wife because of your job - that sounds ridiculous and like your wife is actually a net drain to your life. (Been there…) That said - it shouldn’t be that way. If the wife is being terrible then they need to shape up and not be terrible. Partners should add value to your life and not drain it. Together you should be greater than the sum of your parts. Even when you’re both struggling - you should find comfort in that you’re both not alone in your struggle.

As well - this idea that you should be atomically happy and there should be no outside influences on your well being is just an asinine juvenile belief. Do we expect babies to not cry out for their mother? Why is it that when you’re desiring something you somehow need to become the Buddha? The fuck is wrong with people. Sometimes you just need a hug and some support from someone in your life who loves you and is willing to be there for you. You don’t need to be some mythical stoic creature who cares about nothing in this world like you’re a nihilist.

I legit wonder if maybe some of you are just super neurodivergent and need to tag yourselves as such before making such wild ass statements about how to interact with other people. Fucking HN.
Indeed, and that’s why it is called a “supercomputer”.
Not every apartment is pet friendly. Not every apartment can have an electric charger.

I agree that it’s going to get a lot more common at apartments but won’t apply to everyone. My last apartment had a massive garage with electric charging. It was $400/mo. My current apartment doesn’t have anything beyond street parking which definitely has no electric charging spots.
>What is the capacity of the battery they are referring to and how does it compare to, say, the capacity of a Tesla Model S?

They are talking in terms of an individual cell that is roughly 3x30mm and saying it would have about 2x the storable energy density per cubic centimeter.
If you hate exercising you might try focusing on something else and use it as a way to get better.

Like I want to shoot in the 80s in golf, run a 7 minute mile or whatever. It helped me find a love for it because it was a way to “train for my goal” rather than an everyday slog.

After about 4 weeks I started to look forward to it and really went down a rabbit hole optimizing workouts, sleep and food.

An interesting analysis. Feel free to reach out to me by email (my address is on my profile).

Employment is certainly part of the reason the smelter remains open, but as far as costing the country money since it was built, keep in mind the dam was originally built for the purpose, at a time when the country desperatly needed hard currency. We have the dam because of the smelter.
Putting fundamental features of the language behind a price barrier at all will keep students and people who want to experiment with the language out of the ecosystem. This isn't a papercut, it's an intentional omission that has backfired and can only be fixed by tooling. If the only way to access an often necessary feature is proprietary, why not make the whole language proprietary at that point?

Maybe it just struck a nerve because I've been watching the Jan 6 hearings with videos of the violent mobs attacking police in my home city, a few blocks from where I used to live. In contrast, people who do this union work are heroes as far as I'm concerned.

Using the Proud Boys as an example during a discussion about lawful, non-violent efforts makes no sense at all; this group isn't merely a group with a different political or social position than the union organizers.
How is this article "actually supportive" of Amazon/Bezos?

I really hope you're not going to claim because they put in responses from an Amazon spokesperson that makes the whole article pro-Amazon.
I would be more supportive of this message if it was a $90 LSP server that you could support by buying (a la intelephense), but software developers are very opinionated about their editors and not everyone wants to use IntelliJ products.
You can read a book outside under a tree and get enough lumens. When we switched to backlit screens for showing information, this necessitated that more time be spent indoors to be able to make out the words on the screen.

Hey, creator of the Bible Semantic Search app here. I 100% agree with you. I hacked together this prototype for the purposes of learning the Pinecone API rather than fine-tuning a language model, but I'm still pleasantly surprised by the quality of the search results despite all the shortcomings you mentioned. The results aren't great, but they're decent. I'm surprised how well SBERT works out of the box considering I haven't done any fine-tuning whatsoever, and like you said, it doesn't fully understand the KJV's archaic writing style. Switching to a version that uses more modern English like the NIV is trivial so maybe I'll do that.
Not to mention how much the company paying their salary (who should be paying for their IDE) makes!

Also interesting how they disclose the history (founder) but not the current (executive chairman).
This feels like a submarine article, so I'm going to go off on a tangent, and ask, "For how long will this be true?"

With evolving documents like wikipedia and Conflict-free Replicated Data Type (CRDTs) coming into favor, it feels like writing could be a cooperative and multi-player game. Most of the meetings I go to have an EtherPad open for all the participants to collaboratively take notes during the discussion. I'd assume that collaborative editing of documents will become more of the norm.

Like exercising, perhaps one could show up and write in a shared document so as not to let your fellow writer's down.
There's a confusing bug for longer time ranges. It's impossible to select a real start date before 2015. The start date is effectively limited by the period you chose, whatever start date you tried to pick.

There's no warning of this, but if you look at the start date of the chart you'll notice it may be much later than the date you thought you had picked

edit: With that bug, choosing a period of 1 week is the way to get the longest possible time range for the chart, about 7 years

One observation: The volatility is terrifying, but the multimillion dollar gains are interesting
"Enovix, based in Fremont, California, announced that it demonstrated in electric vehicle (EV) battery cells the ability to charge from 0% to 80% state-of-charge in as little as 5.2 minutes and to achieve a greater than 98% charge capacity in under 10 minutes. The cells also surpassed 1,000 cycles while retaining 93% of their capacity."

They claim is went past 1000 cycles with 93% capacity remaining.

Yeah, we're sticking with thunderbird in large part for their MBOX support and if they ever dropped it we'd move to something else. MBOX makes it dead simple to parse or grep through your messages.
I often see the ads in advertising billboard. I usually go to a public park every other day, and the road will pass through a major intersection with large billboard. At one point, a billboard of cryptocurrency broker appeared every time I passed through that intersection. The particular broker also advertises into a convenience store (7-11), so I will be pretty much guarantee to see its ads every day.

Another broker dared to register the domain name "Join the Crypto Revolution" to promote its scheme. I wish we could have an enforceable rules on prohibition to market cryptocurrency to general public like Singapore did (see [1]). We did open for comments regarding this, but it has not been set in stone as cryptocurrency broker tried to game the rules.

Companies and founders are different, we are talking about the individuals and their ability to have done anything differently. All of the founders of the companies you listed had a choice to avoid doing an action seen as exploitative action their company is also known for. This is exclusive from the positive way that different people's lives were impacted.

Amazon, really? Just CTRL+F the frontpage of HN any day. Today they are sicking police on employees to bust unions.

Microsoft, Google, Meta, Telsa, and ... who?

Is this the argument you really want to have? One of arbitrary relative impact? The one where I point out how Standard Oil employed 100,000 people directly too?

Interesting way of compartmentalizing based on what you chose to respect.

The way to have this argument is to determine if anybody else can collect this much money today starting these businesses - whether as competitors or in the absence of those companies existence. As an example, take Google and Meta: You can't trade the same number of user's data and broker it, legally, because major economic unions prohibit this or have greatly increased the financial liability for doing so. Your overhead costs are higher before convincing Private Equity to package you up and dump your shares on the public market. Find the same for other founders/companies you chose to weigh positively based on unrelated actions.
Did you read the article?

It's free in the same sense as "free wifi", a perk to get your attention/money.

I hardly think anyone expects it, but if I have to choose between two restaurants/workplaces/whatever where one offers free EV charging, well... it's an easy choice, at least for me.
CEX collapses don’t result in the destruction of the coins they hold. It’s usually due to a hack/theft or greedy/risky investments of customer funds.

> adding more workers to a field increases the supply of workers and thus reduces the market value of their work

This is the lump of labor fallacy. If you don't have "enough" software engineers, then adding more makes them all more valuable; some of them can work on productivity tools for the rest, some of them can attract new customers, some of the juniors are needed to turn into senoirs, and so on.

It's similar to Henry Ford paying his workers more so they could afford to buy the cars.
Correct that there's no literal effect, but conceptually, if you wanted to model a particular sort of nondeterminism as a monad, you could use one indistinguishable from List.

And I think it holds just fine to think of the monad as injecting data into a sequential computation before each step and ingesting output after each step (boxed in the monadic container).

Which reminds me, that boxing is also part of the power of monads. It means you can nest steps of a monadic computation, instead of just chaining them, as a functor allows. This stimulates lexical scope -- bindings that exist for all statements after the one that defines them.
Haha touché. I meant to say that the speed of charging is one aspect of switching to a FEV that might make me think twice about buying one, but if I could charge my car in five minutes, it'd be a much, much easier decision.
This is entirely off topic, but how are Elixir or Kotlin "modern C replacements"? Elixir is built off of Erlang and has influences from Ruby and Clojure, and Kotlin is a replacement for Java.

Rust, Nim, Zig, and Go are all fair game in that list, as far as I know being a C replacement is in the mission statement for the creation of all those languages.

I keep thinking the direction kitchens are headed in developing countries is a solar powered microwave, induction cooktop, and fridge.

Does the lady of the house want to collect scraps of firewood and then cook in a hot already smokey kitchen or on a only heats the pan induction cooktop? Yeah.
Ah, that's a good idea. I was considering just fully replacing the KJV with the NIV, but for people who want the KJV, having a mapping between the two versions would work. Do the verses between the two versions map each other exactly? Like they cover the same exact thing, just written in a different style?
The optimistic side of this is that the backlash is inevitable.
For some reason I also kept looking what this person missed from Java.
Ah you know my papers are just the front page of every major media outlet in the country.

> And everyone agreed so hard that it was removed from almost every modern C replacement

They removed it because they made the regular "if" statement into an expression, so the separate "ternary" operator expression is superfluous. Rust et al made the "if" situation better than C; Go made it worse.
Musicians and carpenters make far less than programmers, but they still buy their tools. Software people are too entitled. Even if you are not professional, you can still afford 54c a day ($200 a year). Even a programmer in India can.

Not really for cars at least. That's right up there with NCA and NMC chemistries and those seem to do just fine for 200k miles. LFP can do 3000+ cycles with the trade offs being lower energy and power density. Which is why it's usually relegated to models with lower range and power, or vehicles that have the capacity for larger packs like buses.

I appreciate your charitable reading, and the better point it makes.

I was in fact saying that a lot of Proud Boys are employed by Amazon, and that I doubt Amazon would particularly care about PB demonstrations. And of course I can’t answer GP with proof of that, quite a lot of the group operates with aliases. But I live in the company town and people get to know each other.

That said, again your point is much more salient.

Maybe government run healthcare is more expensive than (something) but your "both sides are bad" is missing how unbalanced the sides are.

"In 2016, the U.S. spent nearly twice as much on health care as other high-income countries, yet had poorer population health outcomes. [...] Using international data primarily from 2013 to 2016, the researchers compared the U.S. with 10 other high-income countries — the U.K., Canada, Germany, Australia, Japan, Sweden, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland — on approximately 100 metrics that underpin health care spending. The study confirmed that the U.S. has substantially higher spending, worse population health outcomes, and worse access to care than other wealthy countries. [...] Life expectancy in the U.S. was the lowest of all 11 countries in the study, at 78.8 years; [...] the proportion of the U.S. population with health insurance was 90 percent, lower than all the other countries, which ranged from 99 to 100 percent coverage.

For several commonly used brand-name pharmaceuticals, the U.S. had substantially higher prices than other countries, often double the next-highest price." - https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/03/u-s-pays-more...
