> At 20 years old, you don't need to invest

Investing money every year from 20-30 and then stopping will leave you (assuming fixed interest rates of ~7%) the same amount of retirement money as starting at 30 and doing it every year.
Consensus was it's weird but that the Apple one doesn't bother them because no one stands directly underneath. It's fine. You can stand underneath it but okay, that's good enough for me to just take the L on it.
Housing prices and interest rates typically have an inverse relationship. The inflation adjusted average monthly mortgage payment has been remarkably constant over the last 45 years [0], with the exception of:

1. The era of abnormally high interest rates of the early 80s. The greatly reduced demand for housing (and corresponding drop in housing prices) from 1980-1985 was not enough to offset 20% interest rates. Thus, mortgage payments were extremely high.

2. The housing bubble leading up to the 2007 crash. That time, high mortgage payments were due to abnormally high housing prices, not abnormally high interest rates.

3. The current housing bubble [*].

Whether now is the worst time to buy depends on whether rising interest rates will ultimately offset home prices. Home sales have fallen to April 2020 levels [1], but it’s too early to see a corresponding drop in prices. This may not happen for two major reasons IMO:

1. If interest rates rise to levels high enough that their effect on mortgage payments exceeds the corresponding drop in housing prices, à la the early 80s. I personally doubt this.

2. If the likely moderate increase in interest rates fails to cool the market at all. There may be enough cash buyers on the market (primarily institutional investors) that borrowing costs are irrelevant to housing prices. I find this plausible but unlikely.

[*] I am very confident that the housing bubble isn’t going anywhere without increasing total housing supply, which hasn’t met demand for the past 15 years, ever since new home construction stalled after the Great Recession (and never recovered). I doubt this will change anytime soon.

Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm completely empathetic. This place is not for everyone.

I've moved all over too. When I didn't like a place I figured out what was next went for it. I didn't complain about it on an unrelated comment thread on Hackernews. You moved to Seattle and are complaining about the rain! This is my home you're talking about, and you're talking about it like a review of a restaurant on Tripadvisor.

However, if you do want to discover the beauty of this place and make it your home I suggest you take your family out hiking. https://www.wta.org/go-outside/map - I promise you will find something here that will change your life forever if you give it a chance.

Software in general has a naming problem - they all tend to be aspirational metaphors. From 'AI', 'ML', 'Cryptocurrency', 'Agile process' to 'self-driving', the confusion they create is really frustrating and harmful at times.
This is for sure a really hard question to answer, but I think we can agree that a 2017 blog post does not constitute the “idea results” for this query, no?

FWIW I was a beta tester, and (mostly) enjoyed my experience, but having this as a demo of Kagi’s abilities on your splash page does not inspire confidence in the product IMO.
I downloaded the latest release as a zip file here - https://github.com/JLErvin/berry/releases

FWIW, it’s 34KB and while it’s only the source, that seems pretty small. I haven’t gone through the build process to figure out the executable though.
> Why do you think that being physically fit/active and being a techie is mutually exclusive?

Nothing in the comment seems to say that:

> In this comment section: techies giving confident fitness advice. Exercise is good for you when done right. There is risk of injury when done wrong. Much like any other skill, exercises can be learned, and how fast you learn things varies. If you can, get someone knowledgeable to guide you, it makes the learning process both easier and less frustrating.

I think it rather says that techies, whether physically active or not, are prone to give confident advice that doesn't necessarily become less confident when it leaves their field of expertise. That is, I took it to be caveat lector—some techies are physically active and knowledgable (which is important!) and some aren't both of those things; you can't tell from reading a confident comment whether it is the voice of earned expertise or the voice of presumed expertise; and, if you're one of the techies who isn't yet physically fit, then getting in over your head (literally, I suppose, for handstands) or developing bad form can be quick paths to injury.
As a 2019 graduate I just feel lucky that I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay the whole thing off rather quickly. The same can't be said for everyone else in my cohort.

Honestly I don't think they'll ever write Plan 2 loans off, these people will spend their entire life paying their 9% loan repayments, with no hope to ever pay off the total sums as they climb by 5% a year.
cash grab?
Small note, this is believed to be true but has not been proven.
> zero mention in this "analysis" of program size

They do mention disregarding uxn's default choice to optimize for size and change it instead to optimize for speed (-OS vs -O2) to give a more level comparison (for speed specifically). But it helps to show that the comparison is a bit stretched.
The x86 macs are noticeably inferior in a lot of ways to the new Apple Silicon macs. I have both. That is as much how macOS runs on x86 versus the M1 as it is the underlying silicon. There has long been an impedance mismatch between what Intel is optimizing for and what Apple wants their silicon to be optimized for, and I think the M1 is an expression of that gap. There are things that Intel is still better at, but Apple largely doesn't care about those things.
This is pretty basic, don't borrow money you can't afford to loose.
Russia isn't really allowed to export anything that's not a commodity even if they wanted it. Non-commodity exports are made possible by favourable position with regard to the international legal system (ie, financial systems, intellectual property frameworks, etc...).

Russia will never be allowed into such a category as long as the US has a word to say, which is, in the foreseeable future.

Can you imagine a world where the US agrees to have core technologies under ownership of Russia? How about Europe? If not these two markets, why would, say, a random African country decide to honour Russian intellectual property rights?
The Power of RISC Architecture
> How do we tell when mechanistic response ends and self awareness begins?

When you explain to it how it runs on electricity, and then say you're going to pull the AC cable. The concept of self awareness revolves around some object that the AI identifies with (mistakenly or not doesn't matter), so any threat to that object will be perceived as a threat to the AI's existence.
> back in the day I guess you wouldn't have been able to be employed in an office environment

The idiotic transition to "open offices" (places where people work without walls or even cubicles separating them) has led to an enormous amount of noise pollution that didn't exist in the past.
cycomanic is claiming that leobg is ignorant. They do this despite leobg displaying accurate historical knowledge and stating the way that the sensor works in a way which does not fundamentally disagree with the correction that cycomanic implied leobg needed. As a reader of the comment chain, I have to ask why cycomanic thinks leobg is ignorant - he failed to articulate why. It seems to me that the most contentious and debatable claim that leobg made was the claim that full self driving requires solving vision regardless of whether or not you have LiDAR. If this was the reason - maybe it isn't, but if it was, the fact that everyone uses vision isn't evidence for cycomanic's position - it is evidence for leobg's position.

You've retreated from this as the reason that leobg is frightfully ignorant on behalf of cycomanic. That means the next most contentious claim is the claim that builds upon the foundation of the first claim - that vision being required makes LiDAR irrelevant. The problem for you though is that when you make the concession that vision is necessary, you run into a problem. The sensor situations under which LiDAR is much better than vision tend to involve a vision failure through a lack of light or due to heavy occlusion. There is definitely and necessarily a cut off point at which leobg's claim becomes somewhat true. This denies the right to call him ignorant, because the law of charity demands that his point be the thing that maximizes the truth of his comments. So the claim of ignorance - which amounts to a character attack - becomes unjustified.
I found it pretty amazing the codebase that cracked 100T digits (and the previous records too) were started as a guys high school project.
Why not just do incline or decline push-ups? Or weighted pull ups? I feel like handstand push-ups increase your risk of serious arm nerve compression injuries, like ulnar nerve compression at the wrist.
You forgot labor.

A huge bagel store will use humans more efficiently than a small one.

One big problem with "lots of shops" is that they require lots of retail workers, workers who spend much of their paid time not working. Prices reflect that.

It's unclear to me why urbanists think that wasting humans on retail is so important.
You say “limitation” but I hear “safety feature”. Best to put limits on dynamic systems that aren’t well understood.
Not everyone in Tesla (or at any other automotive company) produces cars in a factory. Some write software, some write specifications, some do SIL/HIL testing, some do procurement, some work on legal concerns. A lot of these jobs can be done from home - maybe 50% of the company size (and I know from references from Daimler where I formerely worked that those things are still done in a WFH style). It seems like Elon wants nobody to work from home, independent of whether it would be possible or not.

At the same time there's even some things in MAGMA companies that can not be done from home. If one is working in a datacenter to fix hosts which broke down, then it's simply not possible to the same from home.
Over-the-ear, noise-cancelling, isolating headphones (like the kind Sony and Bose sell for $300-400) are absolutely worth the cost if you're going to work in that environment.
> Interestingly enough, linear algebra only exposed its deepest secrets to us in the 20th century, despite having existed for many centuries.

I think this becomes less surprising when phrased as: the deepest knowledge about linear algebra that we have so far is that gained most recently—at which point it sounds almost tautological. There's no reason to think that we've plumbed all the mysteries of linear algebra, no matter how much more we know (especially about the computational side of it) than we used to.
> it's odd you find it odd

No, ‘it’s’ not odd, you find it odd. Your opinion/feeling is not fact, despite you labelling it as such.
I'm not sure how I'd determine if her phone had been cloned. There hasn't been any other evidence of anything strange, besides this whatsapp ban.
Pretty crazy when I think about how much money we spent as musicians buying hardware just to make music and now how everything from synths to guitars, and most modern music is made 100 percent on laptops with software and samples now. Pawn shops are literally full of crusty old gear that won't likely be sold to anyone butt museum curators and nostalgic producers with money to burn.

There will of course be people who will say that analog sounds better, but nothing beats being able to save the position of every knob and not have to worry about your kids coming in the studio and messing up your perfect tuning by playing around. The main gripe I have is that the software is still priced too high, but thank goodness we're not wiring and tuning hardware moogs any more... Most producers that know the real pains of getting the perfect tone back then (prior to making each recording) will agree.
Descript maybe
I agree 100%. It definitely makes me a safer driver because I can pay attention to other things that may be going on 7 cars away when I don’t have to micromanage the job of staying in the lane and making sure I’m at the correct distance between the car ahead of me.
Indeed. I just wonder if it’s just more exposure happening and more chatter than actually more lying.

There have been massive doozies in the not so recent past.
I seem to remember reading a sci-fi story quite a long time ago where the characters discover a message embedded in pi but only after many digits were calculated.

I think the implication was something about simulations or maybe instructions on how to build a device. Can't quite remember the details.

I'm not counting my voluntary repayments in that figure.

45% Income Tax
+ 9% Student Loan Repayment (mandatory)
+ 3.25% National Insurance Contributions

Gives 57.25%, but this is off because:

- Student loan repayments start somewhere above 20k, which decreases it

- National insurance runs at 10.25% before going down above a certain income, which increases it

- Higher rate and basic rate apply to some income (but no tax free allowance), which decreases it

Hence to a round(ish) number roughly 55%

I mean that just plays into the talent pool - people who are willing and able to join or found a startup.

While I think what you're talking about is a big deal and the biggest mistake every state that wants a tech industry fails at (yet New York, Massachusetts, and DC/Virginia seem to do ok), a bigger one is the fundamental culture of Californian tech. Most other parts of this country, people are too scared to take the risk to leave the "good" job for a startup. It's a negative feedback loop that dampens any chance of growth. California is the one place where people feel safe enough to ditch a good job for a cool one, and it pays in spades for the state.

Combining Hypnosis and Virtual Reality
Yeah, I’m guessing running startx without one, then executing one on top, that way X doesn’t cascade terminate when the session ends or something. This is something that would improve workflow in situations where I want to use a floating wm, without terminating all windows.
Lucky, them. In Germany every household has to pay it, because of "new media",

meaning regardless of the (non)existence of classical TV, radio,

there is probably internet, smartphone, some means to consume public tv and radio,

so f---ing PAY! Even if one can't stand that sh-t at all,

and ignores it since 1996 :-)

Meanwhile the president of France promised to get rid of it this year, probably this fall.
Not sure whether it's been said, but: there are not shortcuts. Sure, there are somewhat more and somewhat less intuitive texts, but there are no shortcuts. So I somewhat dislike the question.
> The Tory party run essentially unopposed

Corbyn was completely unelectable and gained 30 seats with a nearly 10% swing towards him in 2017 because of the Tory's policy on social care, removing the triple-lock and cutting the winter fuel allowance. That's how determinative old-people are in elections.

The only reason Tories remain in power is because they're happy to destroy the country in line with boomer preferences, it's not evidence they can ignore boomers at all. We've seen what happens when they make even the slightest moves against Boomer entitlements, they get decimated in the polls.

People who think governments don't respond to voter preferences, especially the preferences of a voting bloc which pretty much single-handedly determines elections, have clearly never worked in government.
I think the phrase "true random" is confusing. The author did highlight the difference well between the two. I still wish there was a better phrase for techniques generating randomness that are currently better than techniques generating pseudo-randomness.
Nothing is in a vacuum and wealth only has meaning relatively. As much as it may be a shock to hear, wealth is but a social contract on how much it gets you in exchange. There is no absolute answer on that and it's subject to negotiation. If you are in charge of distributing wealth (which is what this is, let's be honest), higher prices means current asset holders are favored over future asset holders who want to purchase assets. Why should those who invested in a bubble during the loosest money era be entitled to exchange it for the same amount of labor or goods of those who built wealth during austerity?
Also there's a matter of the resources required.

A traditional tracker needs to provide its own location source and data connection.

Airtags recruit everyone with a smartphone to do the tracking without informed consent.
I have a whole house of this stuff. We are talking 100s of plugs, lights, sensors, etc. I picked them because they have been around forever - like 30+ years (started with the X10 stuff) so I hoped they where a safe bet. One day everything stopped working, the remote control part via the application and automation that depended on their Hub being online. I had the hub. Ugh. Okay I had the USB serial adapter also sitting around. Installed Homebridge with the "Homebridge Platform Insteonlocal" plugin on an old PINE64 board. Used it to delete the links to the old hub and connect everything to the USB serial modem (the "modem" keeps the DB of the things it can talk to). Everything works great again and I can even use Apple HomeKit. I received an email today from Ken saying they are going to do the right thing but they need to move to a subscription model for like ~$40 per year. I am fine with that in the sense they should have done that a long time ago to sort their $$$ issues. At this point I am going to stick with the local solution - remember the HomeKit stuff gives me remote access - that the hub+app gave. The HW itself it really decent and always has been. It would be great if it became available again. I am worried about something failing at this point as the eBay pricing is crazy town right now. The 8 button remote that was $30 is going $200+. The remote links to their wireless protocol and pairs locally with all the devices. You do not need anything online for it to work. To be clear - they have powerline protocol and wireless protocol that allows devices to be paired (or more then a pair) with each other locally and locally programed. It is really cool stuff given it is 20+ years old and just works.
Here is an important distinction to make: contrary to NT, syscalls in a given thread do not call back to userspace in the same thread.

In NT, KeUserModeCallback implements some sort of a coroutine pattern, where the kernel space can call back to the user code synchronously in the same thread and expect it to return to the callsite. In Linux, there's no such thing as a user-mode callback: a given thread cannot have any user code running (or scheduled to be run) while simultaneously having the kernel call stack active.

> seccomp filters, FUSE, ptrace, userfaultfd, fanotify

> core_pattern handler

> usermode helpers

These either block the current thread waiting for another thread (e.g. a debugger, fault handler, or filesystem server) to complete the request, or fires off the request asynchronously.

> syscall_user_dispatch

This does not "call back" into userspace at all; it merely delivers SIGSYS. Signal delivery works more like NT's user APCs: there's no kernel-side context active in the thread the signal handler (or the APC) is running.
When was the last time you used it? A couple years ago, it wouldn’t go 10 minutes before I had to intervene because of a phantom break or some other stupid/weird thing it was doing. But just last week, I engaged FSD and Autopilot when I left an Airbnb in New Jersey and it drove me from the house to the highway and all the way through dense NYC traffic into Long Island, an 85 mile (!) drive with only two interventions. The first was when a car to my right darted into my lane (I instinctively slammed on the brakes immediately, though the car also beeped loudly so I suspect it also would have hit the brakes anyway), and the second time I shut it off because it was being too cautious getting into an exit lane and other cars were never going to let me in (if you drive through NYC you know what I’m talking about).
The biggest problem with is the way Tesla, Musk and Tesla Fans have marketed the AI capabilities. It gives people a false sense of security. Another thing is I feel Elon is being idiotic by trying to mimic human driving so not using Lidar wanting to just use cameras. Like wtf you should want the Ai cars to be better than humans and having more information than a human is a good way to do that.
That's really a non issue still. You download it once which for most people is still really quick, and then benefit from the history going forward. I have only seen it as an issue on massive repos like Android where you only really care about compiling from source and not doing actual development.
