There's nothing wrong with it. I occasionally get bored and have a few minutes to kill, and pick random LeetCode problems to solve. I view them the same way some people view crosswords or sudokus - an entertaining problem solving puzzle.
Yes, in practice mining mostly follows price, but it's still not quite that cut and dry.

Miners also need to sell bitcoin to recoup operational costs. They influence the value of bitcoin by being an active trader and setting limits to their sale price.

Current price influences future mining. Past mining influences current price.
This probably is supposed to hint at a termination order. If a call to a recursive function terminates, then it it often (not always) possible to identify an ordering relation among the arguments of the call and the argument of the recursive call(s) within.

Though, there is also the Ackermann function... so for some recursive functions it is not be as easily seen why they would terminate.
Thank you, this is a really good point I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere

> However, they're mostly the same people that complain about any new construction and homes, so it's a bit self-inflicted.

It is a bit self-inflicted, but having lived in cities my whole life you can't ignore the demand side of the story.

White flight has completely reversed itself in the last 15 years and urban areas are now incredibly popular destinations for millennial aged white people who grew up in suburbs in a way that just wasn't the case before. Even with a ton of building, it is hard to keep up with the demand boost.

It’s not surprising that Unicode in Erlang is hard to get right. It’s hard to get right in general. Every time I read something like this that goes deeply into Unicode I come away with some fun new test cases.

The talk should be opened either way. Companies are far too eager to put high RE prices / high commuting costs / long commutes onto people, but no one is asking "where is the line?" when the roles are reversed.

God forbid we play a few things by ear and see what happens.
You shouldn’t be able to expense things you would need if you weren’t working as well.
Could you elaborate on the "nothing" part? Yesterday I tried a meditation in which one learns to truly do nothing, but it's more likely you meant something like pursuing hobbies.
I think you're missing the point. The question could be possibly rephrased as "what are the tricks that the AI uses to fool humans?" The paper goes on to identify some of the specific tricks that the AIs appear to use. A related question might be "why are we fooled by such simple tricks?"
> The crypto bros totally miss the point in understanding this too.

I don't know which "crypto bros" you've been talking to, but as someone who is building a self-hosted payment gateway for crypto [0], the benefits from using crypto are two-fold: it eliminates the chance of fraud and it moves the cost of customer support to the merchant.

Also, once again I will have to repeat that no one sane will try to completely replace the existing payment systems with crypto. Crypto is meant to be an alternative for the cases where the cost of existing processors make the transaction not viable.

Most of these AI vs. human tests take very poor or weird looking human creations vs. the best AI creations. No wonder that one gets the desired results.
Researching semi-obvious things like what elements of AI-generated text humans mistake for being human-generated is part of the process of how people working on AIs work towards better generation. You’re just seeing how the sausage gets made.

> I really doubt many people in Japan commute by car.

Having lived in Japan and commuted by car in Japan, I can say that this is definitely not true.

In the inner parts of the larger cities, yes, very true. But in the periphery of larger cities and in every provincial city (which are most of them), there is a lot of car commuting.

For reference, I would say larger cities are Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama. Nagoya is probably around the threshold (not so sure, didn’t spend much time there).

Provincial cities like Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Sendai, and Sapporo are very much car-centric, although the public transportation system is quite robust. Most of the public transport in these cities is to and from the inner city and for short jaunts between neighborhoods by folks who don’t drive. For jobs outside of the center city, driving a car would be quite common.

The outskirts of Tokyo, etc. are similar to these provincial cities.

Smaller cities like Nagasaki or Shizuoka are even more car-centric.
> It's only people who are actually lazy and not doing anything useful with their lives that are looked down upon, and rightfully so.

Your view is manifestly incorrect. There are so many groups of people that are looked down upon, what you describe is just a tiny tiny subset of these. If you are grasping to find an example, that shows a great deal about your position in life.

(If you still struggling, start with sex workers, people working in waste management, and people with physical disabilities, aka 'hookers' and 'trash people' and 'cripples'. Yeah, they definitely not looked down upon. LOL. I could literally write 10 pages of further examples.)
I agree with the general sentiment, but the article explains that this "breakthrough" is a product prototype that meets a government spec. It's hyperbolic wording, but they're trying to warm people up to the idea of eventually getting a heat pump to alleviate some energy issues.
This is one of the best examples of the fundamental attribution error that I’ve seen:

> if someone does [buy crypto] they are not as smart as you or they think.

> I personally invest in crypto because fundamentally I believe [...]

Have you considered the possibility that you are no different than those you look down on?
> If you work from home are you going to expense your electricity?

Funnily enough, yes.

A very large group of countries have introduced 'teleworking' legislation post-covid, where employers are legally obliged to pay allowances to employees per day of remote work (specifically to offset electricity and internet expenses).
why do we assume that humans are smart? answer: ego; corollary: we are not
The Blind Spots Low-Code Development That Will Create Technical Debt
Please rename the submission’s title.

The above sentence was mentioned in the article (without supporting evidence), and is not the focus of the article.

Tldr of article; abi was chosen not to be broken, which is costing performance. Author argues if std library isn’t optimized, alternatives will keep being developed, and std will be considered dead.
It was a pain in the ass. The porn industry developed 3rd party systems that would swap between merchant accounts on a whim. When people would put their credit card in, on the back end, it would try multiple accounts until it found one that would take the card and it was all integrated with a whole referral system [1] called NATS that was really sketchy software. It has been many years for me and seeing that they are still in business is kind of crazy really.

When I was in school, I wondered why my hand hurt from writing so much. I switched to gel pens and my hand fatigue went way down.

We put up with a lot in the name of cost. The thin blue Bic pens are much cheaper, but when I have to use one I really hate it.
You say "the" government like there's only one. These platforms enable multilateral interoperation by default. In the fiat world, each government currency exists in its own central-bank database. In a crypto world, the US-gov-backed USD stablecoin and the EU-backed Euro stablecoin would exist on the same blockchain.

Also, you seem to be thinking like currencies (whether fiat securities, or decentralized autonomous securities) are the central point — or only point — of blockchains. This is true of "ledger-only" blockchains like Bitcoin — which is why I say those would be mostly irrelevant.

But in decentralized-computation platforms like Ethereum, there are lots of other things going on; and I'm not suggesting to limit any of that stuff to only fiat/regulated use-cases. My argument is against cryptocurrencies (decentralized autonomous securities) specifically; not against utility tokens, governance tokens, DAOs, virtual pets, or anything else people do with blockchains. All that stuff is inherently global — and it would make no sense to have to "shard" the state of any of it onto into separate ledgers per legal regime. The legal regimes can come to the distributed computer, not the other way around.
Perhaps with more wisdom we might be able to solve our problems more effectively. Perhaps with more to lose (more years of life ahead), people would prioritize the future more.
It's interesting how this has become a popular talking point.

> Often the people voting for policies that allow urban camping are the people who have private security and aren’t exposed to the effects.

The vast majority of voters do not have "private security" - certainly there are not enough with it to influence any election.

> The people voting out progressive DAs are the people most affected which happen to be the poorer neighborhoods and don’t have private security.

Nope, it is the most affluent neighborhoods that are voting for these recalls. [0] Poorer neighborhoods do not like crime, but they also have direct interactions with the criminal justice system and are generally skeptical of "broken-windows" style policing as compared to "stop shootings" style policing.

COP of 2 at 5F is good. But... Mitsubishi has one that is 3.13 at 5F and LG has one at 2.65 at 5F, so this isn't really the breakthrough that the press release claims, the breakthrough is that a US company is doing it.
Thanks, I thought "maybe they implemented accessibility by now", but it seems to be a huge task.
If you want to set up a NNTP server, you can do so; I have my own NNTP server set up, and others can also do. I wrote a program called "sqlnetnews"; there is also "WendzelNNTP"; and you can also use some of the more complicated ones such as INN, etc.
Japan Low Covid Death Rates Are Model for World
Editorialized title, please keep the original titles!
Having run a B2C business with recurring monthly payments around $15, I assure you that fraud goes UP with lower payment amounts. You preferentially attract the worst possible customers who bank with the lowest common denominator banks and they charge back like crazy.

Some choice moments: "Please keep my service on, I only charged back because I needed to make rent this month", "I know that wasn't my card, but that b---- owes me money."

And it's hard to fire these customers because they come back with a different card and fake names. They don't care that they're committing fraud; no one will prosecute them for $10 here, $20 there.

The real promise of crypto is to provide a system with 0% low level fraud like this.
If it's a micro-payment system then fraud doesn't really matter because the risk per transaction is low. In an ideal crypto payment system there's no double spending and no charge-backs. The only cost in cryptocurrency is per-transaction fees due to limited network bandwidth (which can somewhat be mitigated with multisig setups).
We could flag those.
Personalized AI generated movies/songs/books are on the horizon.
The Netherlands also has such a legal principle. For example, in the case of a car crashing into a bicyclist or pedestrian, the car driver is automatically assumed to be at-fault unless the other party made a severe traffic error.
> how is this more of a filter than abiogenesis?

Common chemistries get us very close to molecular systems subject to evolutionary pressure. (Simplest: RNA world hypothesis.) We are missing links. But the pathway is plausible.

Chloroplasts, as you mention, are a potent counter argument. But once you have surplus cellular energy, additional endosymbiosis has a lower threshold. Based on current research, all life has a similar mitochondria. Different kingdoms didn’t nom their own and go. That uniqueness suggests difficulty.

Chain letters were a thing when I was a kid 30 years ago. You were supposed to send a dollar to the person a the top of a list of like 4 people, then move everyone up one spot on the list and and put your name at the bottom and send it to 10 people with the same instructions. If everyone did it, you would end up receiving $10,000. Of course, some simple math will tell you that you will run out of people in the world very quickly.

People love free money and are bad at math.
In the 1990's, an AI Corp developer (a woman friend of mine) completely automated the management of a large IBM mainframe using old fashioned AI. The computer worked in complete darkness. She called it "lights out computing".
Japanese companies often include both a commuting allowance and a housing allowance as distinct components of your pay; neither is counted as income for the purposes of taxation. Meals at company cafeterias are typically not free (though some places are), but typically very reasonable -- e.g. 300 JPY for curry-rice etc.
> For a long time it has been accepted that you had to read a manual before using something relatively complex, as not everything can be expressed intuitively, and because intuition is not really universal.

Do you know how many pages of software documentation the average person will read in their entire life? Zero. Why? They don't have to, and imposing that requirement yields no benefit. I'm always astonished by the perennial hubris required to glibly assert chemical engineers or historians or teachers or physicists or lawyers or doctors or librarians or literature professors (or even other developers who want to concentrate on other tasks) only avoid software tools with prerequisite study because they're too lazy to read.

The purpose of software is to help people more easily solve their problems. The bigger the barrier to entry— prerequisite study for example— the harder it is for most people. That's acceptable if the complexity is genuinely necessary to afford or augment expert usability in purpose-built software, but it almost universally compensates for ham fisted interface design. Interfaces that stop expert users from doing things efficiently and only afford beginner workflows are also poorly designed. Expert vs dumbed down is a false dichotomy.

For many FOSS developers and users, tolerating counterintuitive interfaces turned into a badge of honor, and that turned into an aesthetic preference. It's not the default state of software, it does exclude non-technologists, and is why FOSS alternatives are still alternatives for every application not specifically designed to be used by technologists, even though they're free. Every single one. Every professional photographer on the planet who relies on Adobe Photoshop would jump for joy if Gimp even came close to being a sufficient replacement. That preference is also why developers don't generally make significant interface decisions in any professionally managed software project.

Not having a technologist's domain knowledge or priorities isn't a contemptible moral failure. Having it doesn't come with design expertise— learning design takes a lot of study and practice, but I'm guessing you have other things you'd prefer to concentrate on learning. Which is fine. Just realize that assuming documentation is sufficient to guide users through software is primarily informed by your not understanding software usability rather than everybody else misgauging the importance of software documentation.
Iota is a way better technology for this sort of thing.
No one said that USD is going anywhere. As you pointed out for bitcoin, the people who work on or invest in bitcoin are not part of the asset. This is the same for USD also. Visa equity is the most different amongst the three.

> Jackhammers removing the old are the sound of a city’s metabolism. Neighborhoods that have construction in them are alive; those without it are ill.

But go to an old European city and you're not going to see much construction. And they're not tearing down old stuff to build new. And yet many of those cities are very vibrant and full of life.
This seems to be an article about how ABI compatibility makes improving C++ more difficult.

The submission title is currently "It is currently faster to launch PHP to execute a regex than using std:regex", and, while the article makes this claim, it doesn't provide any evidence for this. Maybe it's true, but that's not the point of the article (and I really doubt it's true in most cases--just the overhead of starting a new process and communicating back and forth is significant).

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Ask HN: Why are Git submodules so bad?
I have been a git user for a long time, but I've never used Subversion or any other VCS more than a little.

I also hardly use Git submodules, but when I do, I don't struggle.

Yet people talk about Git submodules as though they are really hard. I presume I'm just not using them as much as other people, or that my use case for them happens to be on their happy path.

So why are Git submodules so bad?
I did not read it as anyone singling out US. I read it as a statement that any country having absolute power would not be good for the world and act without impunity.

BTW, on NATO, the only country that has invoked article 5 (for mutual protection) is US for the war on Afghanistan. All of these might not be news to you.

I am very confused in the role US should play on the world stage. I think the optimism and the aspiration of "can do anything" is very positive. However, I look at the US as it has turned out now and I feel depressed. I feel we have lost our compassion and humanity while being focused on building moats and walls.

We have to assume that every civilization in the universe is hostile in absolute terms. We just have to look at ourselves if there is any doubt.

However, it is likely that some civilizations may not be hostile towards us if they are either much more advanced than us to care about us for our resources or much less advanced than us to be of any threat. Of course in the latter case, it is we who may be hostile to them.
We seem obviously to be the smartest living things in the universe we know of.

According to this months US employment figures, 36.3% of the working age population (16-64) are neither employed nor seeking work. This includes students, housewives, disabled, financially independent, etc. So good fraction of the population has avoided the puritanical work-all-the-time ethic.

If you spread out the work hours evenly, everyone would work about 25 hours a week.

If you add in the young and elder, the percentage of non-working people in the US rises to 52%.
