I think it does belong; ultimately, knowing if one has the "right sort of hunches" is only possible in hindsight, there's as much luck as anything else involved in what PG/VCs/founders do, and they in-no-uncertain-terms admit this through their their entire model of investment; throwing money at 100 companies praying that one 1000x's.

Just as how its easy to criticize ideas because criticism is cheap, its also easy to pick out if a business will probably fail; but singling out success is near-impossible. If you asked me if playing video games all day was a good way to get the brain-surgeon-rocket-engineering job of your dreams, I'd say it probably isn't; but the right way is far more elusive.

In other words, its high level, not useful, and once you get into the specifics his message falls apart. I also think: VCs are generally quick to trivialize the impact the rising economic tide of the '10s had on all investments, not the least of all in the novelty of software-related venture investments, and many people will be found without pants over the next decade. Which I only say to add that this is a common theme with insight porn; trivializing luck & privilege.

I'll add a fourth reason:

4- Because the site has a better and more descriptive title than the original source, and HN does not allow editorializing titles.

The choice was perhaps not made between the add-on page and alternativeto. It was made between submitting an article titled "Firefox Translations by Mozilla Firefox" and "Official Firefox add-on bringing offline translation support to Firefox" which is a lot more descriptive.
>$400k and also -$400k is created ex-nihilo by the bank, balancing to $0.

Yes, over the term of a 10, 20, or 30 year loan. However, the immediate effect is such that the money supply is increased, $400k is created. The destruction of the money is gradual as the loan is repaid.

The reality of the situation is not that far off from what you're describing here.
Sure, it's a toy example to tease out the underlying shortcomings of the measurement. Societies where the median does not reflect the typical experience do exist.

> I only see people.

I only see atoms dancing around. That doesn't make it a useful abstraction at the scale we are discussing. Government is just an abstraction over a group of people self organizing.

> People feeling they have a right to use violence to achieve their goals, not so much.

Agreed, but government monopoly on violence is the only system that seems to have stuck. I would prefer a system of anarchy where everybody just did the right thing, but I haven't seen any evidence such a system lasts more than hours. Maybe we have to eradicate the cultural training and distrust we have already instilled into ourselves too. I've sat down and worked out the "root philosophy" of our political opinions with as many folks who will sit still for it, and this smells like the "Libertarian presumption that people, removed from the system of control, would all act better" and being in active denial that their planed solution for nonconformity they can't handle is "round up a posse and threaten/kill nonconformists".
I see a lot more negative anti-car sentiment online these days than I used to. I hope this leads to more car-free parts of the world. I don't want to use a car on a daily basis, owning one is a chore, but I'm forced to by the world that I live in.

I'm also worried about the future of cars, of course. I'm an optimist, though -- I hope that the oncoming car dystopia leads to a rejection of cars by a bigger chunk of society. And a more sustainable, quiet, walkable, bikeable world for those of us who embrace it.

Vetocracy is a real thing. It plays an important (devastating) role in scientific progress, even there is a saying about advancement at funeral-based time steps, making a similar point:

Science advances funeral by funeral.
Science advances one funeral at a time.
Science progresses funeral by funeral.
Knowledge advances funeral by funeral. [1]

The quote is attributed to economist Paul A. Samuelson[1].

First you deride organizations: "externalization our power in organizations,"

but now you say: "People organizing and working together is great."

Which is it?
Can we stop pretending theses things aren't luck?

Sure, there's merit involved - but that's a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. There's a million competent people having basically the same drive and capability. The thing that makes a difference is luck. Period.

Please note: this doesn't mean that succesful people don't deserve the success - most times they do. It's just that there are many more people, equally deserving, that didn't have the same success. Let's treat those people better.
Yeah, because at the end of the day you're burning the oil. If everyone stopped consuming oil, the oil companies will stop drilling. The inverse doesn't really hold. Just look at how gas prices have doubled yet everyone's still driving their cars.
Cycle counting is common. Other options exist like a tight loop watching a counter register etc.
It's now mandatory in most developed markets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning_sound...
A word in a given language is a representation of a word meaning. If you invent another representation, like a vector input into a neural network, you've just invented one more language.

The neural network will come up with its own internal meanings for words after reading lots and lots of input data. There are papers on "zero-shot" tests, where a network trained to translate languages A to B and B to C can do A to C without additional data because it maps the meanings of similar words in the different languages the same way.
Exactly. However, the incentives are different. Academics do not necessarily care about the same questions. They are also not personally affected but just research a topic.

With a social network, people with problems can come up with their own answers. They already do, in existing networks. I think, organizing a social network by research question could be an improvement on the status quo.
I actually wished I lived in a village where I knew my neighbors and my co-workers lived nearby.
I agree, but I think many of us have this understanding. We are just largely ruled by a people who utterly lack it. I would even argue we have all had it for thousands of years. Most spiritual traditions have it embedded in their teachings, so there has been a “knowing” of our cosmic destiny for a long time I think.
I was disappointed by this. It’s just a caricature of only one side - It’s the easiest form of come. Almost things that are innovative will not be best on the first iteration. Why not offer (funny) ideas on how to improve it?
To back up the comment on specification. On one of the recent Rust podcasts, they had Andrew Kelley on. From what he says, the roadmap has them publishing a formal specification of the language once they 1.0. So yea, it is on the roadmap and an intention with making the stable 1.0.

This is a small thing, but one of the first sentences in the documentation you linked is "At least I have never thought about API dependencies before building WunderGraph." It makes the problem seem small, as if you can get away with not thinking about it.
It would be similar to governance for crypto's. Take the lessons of the open source community, apply them too legal code. Take the successes up crypto governances, and apply them to political seats. I can tell your frustration and skepticism means it must be a good idea! I feel quite good about putting seats in high offices in the hands of those who own the most of a digital token.
Impressive work, congratulations! Though overloaded definitions would be easier to maintain in the long run
Real holographic display:

To create an aerial hologram [or a 3d image in space if you will], you need something that will emit light at precise locations throughout a given volume.

I'm investigating the use of Moller electron scattering[0] to create voxels in a 3d coordinate system.

Two electron beams crossing and colliding will emit photons [voxels]. If you can orchestrate collisions in a very fast fashion at various 3d coordinates in an vacuum chamber you could generate a complete image.

I'm working on an article discussing the idea in full, to be published on my blog. My goal is to establish prior art, so this idea cannot be patented.

On iOS at least, your location history never leaves your phone. And you can also turn it off without losing access to anything unrelated.
It would also be interesting to see a breakdown on those jobs: it wouldn’t surprise me if many were slaughterhouse workers, who in turn are overwhelmingly undocumented and egregiously underpaid relative to the labor they perform.

Retraining makes intuitive sense to me, but I’m neither a farmer nor an economist. From my lay-perspective, it stands to reason that we’ll need even more plant burger factory workers (and general plant agricultural labor) as demand increases.
No, it really does have to do with organization priorities. You can make things reliable at scale with proper processes and automation.

Allergies are likely a byproduct of the immune reaction to parasites.

They begin with mast cells that attach antibodies to their exteriors, and when one attaches to something it recognizes, the mast cell releases histamine and other signals to begin inflammation. This can be enough to clear parasites that have not evolved to address these effects.

These parasites are now rare in the developed world, and the mast cell would likely be better disabled. I read several years ago that work was being done on a method to remove the mast cells' antibodies, which would stop much of an allergic reaction.
Hospitals are ONLY valid targets when they are used for attacks. Amnesty International did not describe any such cases, period.

There's no way 60% of beef consumption will be replaced by plant-burgers without some kind of coercion.
It's not nonsense, it's an obviously-tautological statement, made with the full awareness that it's not helpful advice, but used to explain the point. It's one sentence out of a long essay.

Nuclear war. It has fallen out of favor to talk about this as a serious possibility, but the world is in many ways closer to nuclear armageddon right now than it has been at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

People seem to have gotten comfortable with the idea of Ukraine as a low-tempo conventional war, but it could very quickly turn into something much more significant.
Charging in cities and apartment compexes is still an unsolved problem, and most people live in cities.

For example, just to provide enough chargers for Philadelphia's 1.5M residents (63% of them drive to work), one of every ~6 car lengths on every residential sidewalk would need concrete dug up and a charger installed. The city will never pay for that, and it would be a logistical and political nightmare. Even if individuals went through a city process to get a permit to do it themselves and pay for & install their own charger, and assuming there was a posted parking limit for only EVs, some jerk down the street with a Tesla will take the spot, and you may have to drive blocks and blocks to find a free charger. Many people may decide to just stick to ICE.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand your point.

There are places that have so much cloud cover year round that it makes solar adoption there effectively impossible? The frequency of these places is such that their energy needs requires the infrastructure remain in place?
>But no, Tesla isn't storing our driving history. At least not deliberately, and certainly with no intent to use it or provide it.

There is no double standard, how many HNers will complain about Microsoft telemetry in Windows or VS Code, or the telemetry in Google Chrome? Probably Apple fans are fine with Apple knowing what apps they open and at what time and tons of other telemetry.
EVs aren't going to be popular because they are the solution to climate change. The better solution to climate change is sustainable city planning and development that minimizes energy use for transportation needs, emphasizing walking, bicycles, and rail travel.

EVs are going to take over no matter what because in their end state they're better than ICE vehicles in nearly every way. Quieter, smoother, simpler, faster, cleaner (air pollution), and potentially cheaper.

That said, I absolutely disagree with the amount of shade you're throwing at the technology in the context of climate, emissions, and fuel:

> we need 30% more grid capacity

That's not very hard, especially since EVs are being phased in gradually. We had the same problem with air conditioners and it was no big deal.

> an insanely higher number of chargers

Which will happen because there is a clear financial incentive to build them. They're cheaper to run and maintain than gas stations and the fuel is transported much more easily.

> service companies

Are service companies a finite resource?

> land

What land do you mean? Car-based infrastructure already uses and has a bunch of land. Where is it that EVs need more of it?

> China still controls most of the resources for production

We already have this situation with the Middle East/Russia with oil

Here's the biggest issue I have with your comment: you're minimizing massive reduction in oil usage:

> and only 8 million barrels of crude will be displaced by the estimated number of new EVs

That's a lot! Globally, 43.7 million barrels of oil are used per day for transportation fuel. [1]

That means that EVs will reduce crude oil usage for transportation by 18.3%! That's really significant!
Rooftop solar. Done.
Doesn’t Tesla record video? If not inside at least outside? Enough to maybe show who got into the driver seat? At the least it records voice I think.
Not to mention the fact that IoT consumes lots of unnecessary power and stuff like Nest that tries to "conserve energy with AI" ends up consuming more power for an ultimately shittier experience than simply manually managing the system.

I suspect since there's money to extract and profit for the power companies, this will happen anyway in the next 5-10 years across the USA. I'm already bracing for the internet providers to start the same bullshit, claiming that the pipes are getting clogged at peak times...
Show HN: Go-zero (a cloud-native microservice framework) is now two years old
Today in two years ago, I submit my first commit of go-zero code to GitHub, and two years later, go-zero is now 19.7K stars and 2.9K forks.

go-zero has been well known for lots of developers, adopted by many companies, and helped many developers to be hired by their favorite companies through learning go-zero source code.

Looking forward to the third year, we will continue to bring more convenient and practical features to the developer community, bringing more cool development experience to everyone!

We are grateful to have you along the way! Welcome more developers to join us!

Forth is very handy for this kind of new iron startup work.

You can interrogate the hardware interactively for those really thorny problems and confirm your hypotheses immediately.
You can write short test scripts and send them via the terminal and/or write and send short Assembler routines and test those interactively.
Each routine you define is interactively usable to assist with higher level testing and/or can be further compiled together to make higher level or looping tests.

It's old and it's weird but it's still a good tool for this kind of work.
It may mean you only have to enter the top domain of Hell. :-)

I must be missing something because I don't see how this is an advance over anything. You have a FREE function, so use-after-free at runtime is still possible. Why not just have malloc and free together then, and program in C but without any lexical scoping so that "Look ma no garbage"?

[edit]

I see why C without scoping would still produce garbage:

int* foo = malloc(sizeof(int));
foo = null;

Linear Lisp forces you to clean up memory. It doesn't allow complex data structures to be assigned to variables without moving the existing contents of those variables elsewhere where they can be disposed of later.

Hopefully the other pieces get cheap enough to enable some revolution in the wiring side of it. Falling costs enable some acceptable loss of efficiency, so you can blow 100W on unnecessary power conversion and another 100W or whatever on losses due to smaller cabling.

It badly needs to be standardized in a consumer-friendly way...like power-over-ethernet in reverse. Field-installable, hot-pluggable, fool proof connectors. You can get 90W over some variations of network cabling...bump that up a couple sizes so you can handle 400W.

So you buy a bunch of solar panels and some patch cables, and plug those in to a one or more "power switches" on the roof top. Then run a QSFP+ equivalent "power backhaul" down into utility room where you have your "power aggregation switch" which has a bunch of (power)QSFP+ ports and plug batteries in to a few of those. And of course a couple big QSFP28 ports to an inverter to power legacy 120V loads, which maybe someday you don't need any more as household things move to using PoLE (power over large ethernet).
