God don't get me started, I've really come to hate how Windows 10 looks. I come from a time where 8 extra bits of color depth cost you an arm and a leg (1,5 arms and 2 legs adjusted for inflation) and you were willing to fight a war for 5 extra pixels of screen real estate. Anti-aliasing was just a dream.

Now we have full HD screens with 32 bit colors and HDR, powerful GPUs to draw edges as smooth AF and what did we decide to do with all of that? Use 4 colors, fill it up with whitespace and cram everything into squares.

I think the Windows 10 UI was created by a group of depressed people and it really shows.
Turns out its more analogous to think of terror as the toast and war as the jam

Like another sibling said, it's not really that different in the US, since in the US you also use sick days for a while (not six weeks though) and progress to disability.

In Germany it's just more structured. There's multiple special rules, like the employee must be working at the company for a while, it has different rules for companies with fewer employees, companies can't be in an emergency situation, there might be the possibility tax rebates.

This is mostly handled by careful accounting. You need to provision future money for it rather than living in a reverse "paycheck to paycheck" situation. I never had a German company but I had a company in a country with similar arrangements and my accountant made me learn it all.

It also has the side effect of having businesses to care about employee quality of life. Someone working 12 hours a day will probably burn out quickly.
The main culprit is absolutely everyone prioritizing high margin high volume and neglecting long tail.

What irks me about this is the disingenuous concern trolling in the title:

> Aiding to break habits

If mullvad's intention with these blocklists is to help break habits, then why is the focus solely on gambling and adult content? Alcohol and nicotine 'habits' far surpass porn and gambling habits, so why is there no option to break habits by blocking, for example, smoking and drinking related content?

Back in the late 90s, when I couldn't afford a newer computer and Linux wasn't an option for me, Calmira gave me an excuse to keep my PC running Windows 3.1 going. To be honest, I liked the combination of Calmira and Windows 3.1 better than Windows 95 and Windows 98.

Why you bagging on vegan food? Sure not all vegan recipes taste good but it is quite healthy and makes people feel good (at least me). The fact that it can be cheaper and less energy intensive is just a bonus. Think of it another way, that is money and energy you save for something else, like synths!
"kids can't learn to use a phone responsibly"

Isn't the responsible use of a phone during school to turn the phone off?

I graduated from a relatively affluent public high school in 2006, and a significant number of students had cell phones in school. It was common for teachers to take student's phones - most of which could only text/call - if they used them during class.
Until a couple of years ago, the term I'd heard was "1st engineer" (also a bit ambiguous if there's a technical founder, but presumably they don't have "engineer" in their title) or "pick your own title," and that seemed fine to me, but also not satisfying.

But other than that, yeah, I have the same questions. It's hard because even if you get into YC/other funding, it is impossible to match big companies.

> do basic maintenance (oil/filter, brakes, etc) yourself

Basic maintenance doesn't get you much of the way to $900/month anyway. An oil change is like $50-$100 depending on things, and most OEM service schedules have those once a year (unless you put on a lot of miles... but if you put on a lot of miles, it's unlikely that you can realistically forgo a car). Brakes cost more, but depending on how you drive, shouldn't be too frequent; and you really should be competent at brakes before maintaining them or you're likely to cause safety issues. An incompetent oil change my ruin your engine and as a result your pocketbook, but an incompetent brake servicing can result in no ability to stop which has much bigger life safety implications.
A small ultrasonic cleaner for my frames is a really good idea that I'd never considered, mostly because I didn't know they were so cheap. My lenses are trivially easy to take out by removing two screws, something I require in my frames since discovering the feature, so no worries about damaging them in the cleaner. My frames sure could use it.
> Amazon orders still arrive in two days.

Mine have been up to a week now. Prime stuff shipping 5-9 days, only very few select items show up in 2 days. Since 2020 or so the "FREE 2-day shipping" has been replaced with "Free Prime shipping" in the UI and I no longer see 2-day promises. Most "basic needs" items are often 3-4 weeks out or "in stock soon"

> My grocery store is still stocked full

I won't starve, but it's weird noticing a lot of holes in the shelves. They're stocked, but missing certain flavours or product lines. Sure there are lots of other energy drink options, but I can't find Mountain Dew Energy in cherry limeade and haven't been able to for 3 weeks now.
Crystal Player did not use ffmpeg. It came with a few codecs bundled, but you'd typically install a codec pack like K-Lite. Anyway building a fast and functional UI is actual hard work, don't know why you'd think otherwise.
I also found it to be unreliable.

I only used it at one company, but it was the most unreliable and hard to diagnose piece of our infrastructure. We didn't even have high throughput and I wouldn't use it again without a really good reason.
>What he want's are languages that explore making them ergonomic at the language level.

This is exactly what dependently typed languages like coq and idris are attempting to do. What he wants ALREADY exists and these things are trying to fulfill EXACTLY his intent. I am not attempting to talk about some obscure isomorphism.

You also cannot build all 6 things in any number of languages unless you are using those languages to build new languages. These checks exist at the type level, not at runtime, but pre-compile time.
Funny thing: I use Teams on an i9 MacBook Pro 16" and _HAD_ this problem.

The issue is that if an i9 overheats, the ONLY symptom is that the CPU slows down and you will never know this happened. No report about heat is generated.

For me, the issue happened with Teams plus an External Monitor. An External Monitor lights up the discrete GPU and then it didn't take much CPU usage to push the system into slowdown mode.

Fix was a Genius Bar appointment to have them open and vacuum dust from inside the 2 year-old MacBook Pro. It's back to being perfect.
Replying to emphasize this comment...

For dev, vite _doesn't_ bundle, it sends your site basically unmodified (as individual files) to the browser since most browsers are already capable of running anything you're using anyway... so if you change one file, that one file is patched, not the whole bundle that depended on it..

since there's no bundling, the initial start time is nearly instant...

webpack hot reload is NOTHING like this hot reload
Even without Covid etc., the synth business is very challenging from a supply chain standpoint. The quantities and margins are not great. The highest selling synth of all time was the DX7. It sold ~200k units. Most stuff sells much fewer units. It's part of why you will see several models that use similar parts so that they can leverage some scale. Even if a company manages to combine the BOMs from several models to improve buying power, unless you are Yamaha, Roland, or Korg, it's unlikely that you have enough overall volumes to get allocations from component suppliers. The consumer electronics and automotive are going to be way ahead of any synth company.
It seems like the FSD dream will remain a dream in the forseeable future. I can't really say I'm surprised, but it's a bit disappointing.
I can definitely appreciate paying more for good ones, but for my first few pairs I feel it would make it more of a hassle to babysit some expensive ones.

For sure once I've found a pair I like and are comfortable I will get a nice pair or two.

I was looking into transition lenses so I'm not swapping my sunglasses for regular glasses. Quite a bit pricier but worth it, I hope. I've also seen some lenses that are supposed to help with glare from having an astigmatism and that would be a Godsend, especially at night.

So I didn't want to spend $800+ for trial frames and lenses and whatnot.

This whole thread has made me feel so much better about the process, and the timing could not have been better!

I was prepared to buy a Tesla, and even planned on doing the full acceptance process (https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist) at the factory (a short drive from my house) but after Musk announced the Model Y was losing the radar and reading a bit more about their problems with FSD Beta (which I was planning to spend $10K to get), I concluded their cars were not the best in the world. I went and got a toyota which could pretty much have the engine compartment welded shut for ten years (modulo oil changes) and run perfectly.

It's a real shame because in principle having a manufacturing facility making great electric cars in the bay area would be a real win. Musk's reality distortion field is cracking.

> just get the state minimum for liability!

This is absolutely terrible advice in almost all circumstances. I am curious, what you consider a reasonable amount? People in California with the state minimum end up with $5,000 worth of property damage liability. Hope you have the remaining $75,000 sitting around when you accidentally run into a nice car.
It always begins this way. Just some extra tier that’s cheaper or free with ads. Then ads start showing up on the other tiers. Just like Cable.

When we say "supply chain issues", what specifically does that mean?

I've done some cost analyses between our AWS and DC infrastructure.

To come up with our on-prem compute costs, we baked in the cost of power, real estate, staff, taxes, network infrastructure, servers (both in-use and in reserve), etc. On the AWS side, we used 3 year RIs and Savings Plan. After all that, there was around a 30% cost advantage on-prem. That's non-trivial, but not as big as one might think.

Outbound networking, however, is ludicrously cheaper on-prem. It's about 85% cheaper on-prem than in AWS. Bandwidth is not expensive outside the public cloud.

In fact, egress volume is the #1 cost driver for us moving a service on-prem or building it there to begin with. Some of the AWS managed services are also very pricey, but nowhere near the egregious markup of egress bandwidth.

I respectfully disagree; I don't think concurrency has to be that much more fundamentally complicated. It's likely that Rust's other design decisions are what made concurrency so difficult in Rust.

Pony does fearless concurrency better IMO, and Forty2 shows how we can expand on Pony to be faster and more flexible.

There are other approaches that have emerged recently too. For example, one can apply Loom's memory techniques to most memory management approaches to eliminate the coloring problem, to decouple functions from concurrency concerns.

There are also languages which separate threads' memory from each other which allows them to do non-atomic refcounting, relying on copying for any messages crossing thread boundaries (though that's often optimized away, and could be even less than Rust's clone()ing elsewhere).

One could also apply that technique to a language using generational references, if they want something without RC or tracing GC.

Sometimes I wish Rust waited just a few more years before going all-in on async/await. Alas!
> This announcement comes after a 4 month sabbatical where Karpathy said he wanted to take some time off to “sharpen my technical edge,” which makes it sound like this is the result of frustration with the technical approach instead of burnout.

I think Karpathy realized (probably way back) that cheap sensors + no HD maps + their (reckless) public testing feedback loop doesn't advance towards L5 self driving and is bailing out. Karpathy has always backed Elon Musk whenever he talks about their technical approach, so it can't be frustration with the approach all of a sudden.

I made Headlamp because I was tired of missing obvious bugs in my web apps.

The solution I came up with is a Chrome Extension that tracks my actions while I test and marks the UI elements that I haven't touched.

Turns out that it's also great for collaborating with my team while testing/bug bashing and helps me find holes in my Selenium test automation. If I was managing an offshore test team, I could use it to monitor their progress.

Give it a try and share your feedback here or message me directly. Thanks!

It's nothing that a deep recession won't fix.
Sometimes solving problems means working with the situation as it is and with what you actually have to work with. Very often that means doing more with less.

The world has gotten worse many times before. We need to be able to find ways to cope with and mitigate that rather than just hoping that things will work out and that we can keep on having more, more, more, more and more without ever making sacrifices.

Preventing further catastrophe can sometimes do a lot more to make the world better than making the next big shiny thing would. Ambition doesn't put bread on the table in and of itself.

I have plenty of software synths that can easily match or exceed my hardware synths' capabilities or sound. But there's just something about the hardware. Plus, it's nice to look at something other than a computer screen sometimes.

That said, I still primarily prefer software. Hardware is a "nice to have," a nice change of pace, but if you have deadlines, relying too much on hardware is a pretty bad move.

Analysts suggest that, while they may still be the market leader in EVs, by 2025 they're looking at a decline from today's 70-75% market share to 11-20%:

This meshes pretty well with them not having anything in the compact, pickup truck, offroading/camping segments (luxury, or not). They also don't have any commercial vehicles like delivery vans.

All of those segments are being filled in rapidly by competitors. Also, the first real non-Tesla luxury sedans have been on the market for what, under a year?
Not sure where you are, but California at least has clear up/down cycles, but they take many years unlike a stock bubble.

This. I'm always amazed by a skilled taxi driver maneuvering their car at a busy street in Tokyo with bustling pedestrians and bikes, some of them are old and slow and others ignoring traffic lights, just passing them by centimeters. It's like as if the car is a part of their body and they're threading though a crowd. They have to anticipate everyone else's move. The cars really look like people here and others treat them as ones.
Speaking of China... What is causing chip shortage exactly? Have they decided the time has come to cut the ideological enemy off?

>>and those LN could be responsible for an inordinant amount of volume

Theoretically yes, in practice no.

Routing complexity increases as usage increases without a commensurate increase in channel collateral, because increased usage leads to more channels using up the collateral for one direction of transmissions, which eliminates the transmissibility of one of the two routes in the channel. The network would thus naturally see rising collateral - either in existing channels or in new ones - to maintain routing efficiency, as usage increases.

Beyond that, more individuals joining the LN would naturally lead to more collateral being added to it, as individuals create new channels with new stashes of respective collateral.

For these reasons, low collateral reliably maps to low usage.
Yes, but do customers want plugin-hybrids instead of fully electric?
That’s perfectly good and fine. I’ve seen veganism marketed as a way to reduce carbon footprint or some ulterior collectivist morality.

Also add: Depopulation.
The incumbents will defend that market segment to their death indeed. Tesla is pulling a 30% gross margin on their EV's, while legacy auto looses money on their EV's. I don't see legacy auto being capable of refactoring their cars, manufacturing processes and business models fast enough to survive.

The fall can cascade quickly, as the incumbents are stuffed with debt. When sales of ICE fall due to the growing EV segment they will have a hard time seeking the funding necessary to transition. IMO it's all a bit late. But good luck to them. From my observation only Ford and VW really appreciate the situation they are in, and they are trying hard to navigate out. Hopefully they survive. GM is screwed.
About "Everything is a Graph", I tried to design programming languages for graph processing a few year back. The problem here is the "language" part as language always implies sequence (because that is what text is). Sequences of statements just don't cut it. In order to efficiently work with graphs, you need to work in graphs. Thus, it becomes a program graph rather than a programming language. And at that point you run into issues of general tooling. Every single tool ever invented around programming is used in combination with text and sequences.

In retrospective it is funny how everybody implicitly assumes that the next big thing will be yet another programming language. And I am not talking about no-code or AI code synthesis.
No.
