You can easily do a very simple test yourself to see whether (and in which cases) this is worthwhile:

In your browser, open dev tools, go to the network tab and enable throttling. For fun, set it all the way down to GPRS speed.

Next, refresh that blog, you'll nearly instantly see the web page.

Then, refresh the HN home page, quite quickly, you'll see the list of articles in a bare-ish HTML page and a little later it becomes pretty when the CSS is loaded.

Finally, open any modern news site, since a news site is supposedly text-centric, it should be a fair comparison. I picked CNBC and it took 30 seconds for the first text to become readable.

I live in a country with ubiquitous broadband and near full coverage of 4/5G mobile internet, so for my country, this is a non-issue. Because of this, one of our most popular news sites takes nearly a minute to become readable at GPRS speeds. When I visit more rural areas in other European countries, this leads to me being unable to visit most web sites that were made for my country and it's extremely frustrating. Especially if you're in a bind and quickly want to find some information, because Google also takes ages to load over slow internet and is nearly unusable (and so is DDG, in case you want to try an alternative).
They also invested less per child.
I remember an automatic version of my second car would have cost 12k instead of 10.

Why is this 20% increase in price not being discussed here?

I suppose this was partly because the cheapest automatic version had more HP than then cheapest manual version, and partly because automatic is just more expensive. But the point stands...
The main problem with Stadia is that I have to buy games exclusively for it. That makes it far more comparable to a game console than to Geforce Now, which is basically rent a PC, a - for me - far more customer friendly approach.
Why would a government bail them out?

I’m not quite sure they pose that much risk to the wider financial markets.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but deactivating Facebook when I was 19 years old has benefitted me in no ways. I am now 27 years old, I hate Facebook, but the old ways of socializing are basically extinct where I live: even at University everything was organized through Whatsapp/Facebook and various Student/Town Associations do not have a website and use Facebook/Instagram.
Japan has a much higher birthrate at 1.3 (still low worldwide, but way ahead of SK, and not that far from other places), so it's not nearly as bad. More recently, Japan has been encouraging increased immigration to make up for the decline.
I've historically got along fine with $600-$800 machined used for 6 years at a stretch. My current machine is a $700 affair with a Geforce 1080 which plays all games at 1080p and some at 4k. I guess the GPU is about half the value so I guess if you divided that by 72 months gaming on my hardware instead of someone else's costs about $4.86 a month. I shouldn't be surprised if more people are gaming on the cheap than building $2000 machines.

Disregarding this is comparing the cost of leasing or buying a Porsche while ignoring the fact that the Carolla exists.
All-optical ReLU function for energy-efficient nanophotonic deep learning
It's great if you want to not even bother replying to some requests. I like to use it to not reply to requests that come without a valid SNI/Host.
Yup that's the only reason I opened the article to read. While obviously the most important thing in a lens is the optical element(s) it's a bit disappointment.

I think the title should read "print a housing for $15 glass to make a 164mm lens" or something like that to indicate that it's not the actual lens elements that they're printing, but of course it wouldn't be clickbait and many people including me wouldn't have clicked on it.

I'm no expert in this, but hardware companies like ARM will spend money to get compilers like C's and Rust's to work on their chips.

Maybe have a snoop around these types of firms?
Yeah, I mean MacOS, Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox ... all typical toy projects.
I work on the sql optimization and execution team for a data warehouse company. SQL isn't the most interesting language to build a compiler for, but I figure it's the easiest way to get paid to build one. You could probably transfer to microsofts data warehouse team and help them build their sql compiler.
It's not about prudishness, although generating pornography is one of the concerns. In the paper there's a full page on ethical concerns, but some of issues they mention are misinformation, and perpetuating harmful cultural stereotypes around race and/or gender roles.
This isn't the exception. If you take any current problem in the USA you can usually trace it back to well documented racism just a few decades back.

Examples:

Tax - imagine you just gaves votes to a bunch of people who were poor because you just released them from slavery. How are you going to stop them voting to take your money? Add supermajority laws that let the minority veto any tax changes. (Or if constitional change need supermajority, get them added there while you still can) or just to be sure ...

Voting - see the Alabama constitution of 1901 "The Constitutional Convention was called with the intention by southern Democrats of the state "within the limits imposed by the Federal Constitution, to establish white supremacy in this State".[9] Its provisions essentially disenfranchised most African Americans and thousands of poor white Europeans, who were excluded until 1965. "

Health Care - why wouldn't you follow all the European nations in socializing medicine? Racism.

You can usually find the written down racism by tracing back from more recent apologies

> For more than 100 years, the AMA actively reinforced or passively accepted racial inequalities and the exclusion of African-American physicians. In an address to the National Medical Association (NMA) Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 30, 2008, Ronald M. Davis, MD, then the AMA's immediate past president, apologized for more than a century of AMA policies (PDF) that excluded African-Americans from the AMA, in addition to policies that also barred them from some state and local medical societies.

> Davis pledged that the AMA would "do everything in our power to right the wrongs that were done by our organization to African-American physicians and their families and their patients."
Yes this is what I've noticed too. My friend who installs HVAC systems for a living just had his third kid before 30 and they're doing fine. Other friends who are DINK attorneys are watching the biological clock run out and they feel they "can't afford" a kid.
> boom, 2.1 fertility rate for most of the 21rst century.

This has nothing to do with the policies you mention. It has everything to do with the fact that the most popular name for newly born boys is now "Muhammed" (or some other spelling variant of it).
We're talking about 4 days work week for adults, but no one is talking about 40 hours work week for kids. 7 hours of school, 3 hours of homework, then karate, piano, swimming and football on weekends.
I really resent the use of "culture" in tech spaces. Maybe in some really active and storied chatrooms and forums here and there. But generally no.

The xyzlib code repo contributors don't have a "shared culture." They're not a "community." They don't have anything useful to offer "as a community" on the great questions our world faces. They don't need to have a defined set of opinions about issues beyond the unresolved issues in the repo.

Iranian nuclear scientists, Israeli settlers, Palestinian militias, Democrats, Russians, and even Republicans are all active users of and contributors to these intrinsically neutral tools being created. And there's actually a magic in that which is lost when projects feel compelled to try to define and enforce some sort of imagined culture and community.
There are some obvious mistakes in tools like this. Such as: Human faces are wrong, writing is usually scrambled, fingers look weird etc... Do you know if we need to have a major breakthrough similar to what happened 6 months ago to fix this or could these be fixed with incremental improvements in current techniques / datasets?
Reading the article they focus on children and e-bike users. Can kinda understand it from that point, e-bikes can go abnormally fast and children are vulnerable. Would've expected the advice to also count for elderly people. I'm a 30 year old reasonably in-shape guy using a regular bike, chance that something happens to me on a bike is small and it's even smaller that I'd get really hurt by it.
You have this flippant perspective since you're comparing to human generated art from a decade ago. Humans have already commoditized human.

You write that you currently work full time at Microsoft, a company with a large developer tools division that actively develops several language compilers. Have you reached out to managers in those groups to learn if they have (or could create) opportunities that match your interests?
They're probably afraid that people will generate images that don't conform to the current American Progressive Vision.
This company (and the founder) are just a bunch of mechanical geniuses. Other than in pure-electric, where they partnered with Rimac, they have driven so much innovation, especially with ICE: form-factors, alternatives to camshafts (free-valve), even drive-mechanisms, manufacturing techniques, wheels etc.

They're extremely humble and low-key about their inventions too, though they come out of seemingly nowhere, I don't think, for example, that anybody expected this latest innovation, because the consensus has been "manual is dead" since the new sports cars like Porsche, Ford Mustang and various others are ditching it for pure performance reasons (0-60 times).

The new manual looks amazing with its gated shifter, very Pagani Huayra-like. Their whole youtube channel (especially the invention videos, which are very humble for the sheer audacity of what they achieve) is interesting, but here's the link to the manual-automatic video.

I would so love to use a free CAD software ...

OpenSCAD is fine for what it does and I do use it a lot for very simple stuff. ImplicitCAD is another interesting project in that space that has fillet unions.

FreeCAD would be great if the Interface wouldn't be so janky. I give it a try every now and then, but never really get over the re-learning aspect.

So, I am still stuck with Fusion360 running in a VM on my otherwise FLOSS-only system :-/
I don't claim to have very deep historical or anthropological knowledge, but I have to say I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a separation between "tech" and magic before the scientific revolution.

For example, is it really true that people viewed the construction of chariots, windmills or watermills etc as a magical endeavor?

I do know that for a long time smithing had a magical mistique around it, so yes, some things we view as technological today were viewed as magical in the past. But the distinction between magic and "tech" I think has always existed.
When cars were invented, there were concerns of accidents, pollution, noise and even the cost of good horsesmanship rising. And yet here we are..
What do you mean by male feminisation? I get the impression from context that you're referring to biological differences but that could easily be interpreted as "man aren't real men these days and that's why they can't conceive".

Average fertility rate for women at 35 years old is half of what it is in their 20's. It basically goes from it's maximum to near zero during the 30's, that's a very rapid and significant decrease.
I find it highly unlikely an automatic would have better fuel economy than a manual.

I saw a study from, I think it was Volvo, that basically concluded that while trained drivers focusing on driving efficiently could get better fuel economy out of a manual, 'normal' people driving normally got better fuel efficiency out of an automatic. And this was a good 10 years ago, so automatics have only gotten better.
This is how airbags work as well, so everyone.

Is 3d a different problem, or a similar one but considerably harder? I'd expect the data encoding (vertices vs pixels) to change a bit about it but I'm not familiar enough to know.
The end of manual transmission will simply be the proliferation of Electric Vehicles. Simple as that.
Patents really do not seem like worthwhile things to enshrine in law these days... Companies like Tesla can release all their latents with no fear because duplicating a production line exactly is basically impossible. And the Chinese basically ignore foreign patents anyway.

They should just be abolished as a concept.
Or have the server adapt based on page size. Even if starting with 10 packets at a time is optimal when sending an arbitrarily large payload, it's probably not optimal for an 11-packet payload - just send the whole thing at once.

I don't know enough about web servers to know why the good ones don't already do this. I suppose it may be reading data from a stream where it doesn't know the size up front.
Of all the things speaking against Stadia, this is probably the least important one. It doesn't surprise me that Google would stipulate a client they have (more or less) complete control over. Geforce Now also uses their own client and no one bats an eye.

There’s no way to measure or compare programmers, so we can’t say that anyone belongs to the group of “best programmers in the world.” You can strive to get really good at programming, do fun and interesting things, make money, help other programmers.

I remember feeling the excitement and drive you express. Young people learn fast, a big advantage. On the other hand young people lack experience, and don’t know how much they don’t know. Plenty of older people have the same problem but I think it’s more acute in younger people. Use your talents, energy, curiosity, and drive to practice and learn as much as you can. Learn from people who have more experience. Don’t worry about getting to “one of the best.” Instead get to the best you can do, or want to do.
Or they just remember Microsoft Tay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)
I read around, I can't find any explanation of what that means. It seems irrelevant. Sure, life can be enjoyable, and people love each other - but when you read

>Before, society grew with the average working age person only needing to half support an elderly retiree. Now, that same working age person will need to support more than 2 elderly retirees themselves, over 4 times the resources.

and the proposition is to Shangai people into being, with no say in it, to meet this onerous workload, how is that defensible? You could say they aren't going to be forced to labor, but they are because otherwise they will starve and suffer.

From what I've heard South Korea is very capitalist and people are overworked. Suicide rates are crazy. It's all pointing back to Maslow's hierarchy again; perhaps people just don't have the energy to start a family amidst all that pressure and stress.
Well then, since Google these days is slow as hell on slow internet, I guess users with slow internet are no longer important.

When trying to find something on Google while visiting smaller towns in Germany, it's often down right unusable. Then again, I've been used to broadband and 4G for many years now.
Youth unemployment is incredibly high in the EU. The reason for that is pretty obvious. The old people don't want to stop working.
If a substance can reliably produce a strong placebo effect that helps a lot of people with minimal serious side effects, probably just start offering/administering it anyway!

Doing science that answers just that question would be valuable on its own. Knowing why/how it helps would be nice, but if it definitely helps…
How are these controlled for? It should be pretty apparent to the user that they're on the placebo segment given that psilocybin has some pretty apparent effects.
> They are mapping visual data about gas density

Is X-ray data visual data?

I suppose it is... but my understanding of this is the data comes from ripples in the gas. So it's not that removed from sound waves? I mean, sound needs a medium, and if we can measure the ripples in the medium we more or less have something approaching a sonic representation, or "sounds of space".
Searching for this for year = Intuitive and adaptable use of Pomodoro technique
I just discovered an amazing tool I wanted to share here.

It's called Llama Life and it organises your tasks in a logical way.

I've been personally searching for something like this for years and it's been in front of my nose the entire time.

It's been even submitted on HN before.

Give it a go and share feedback here.
These are generic pools, sold everywhere. Instead of importing crap from China and indirectly support the CCP - make something in France instead. Put some effort ffs.
Actually it is the other way around. The sample pictures show you can build a cheap and bad lens easily. But to achieve the optical quality of professional lenses is an entirely different thing. That makes you quite appreciative of them and shows how well spent the money for them is.

You can buy a ton of ok lenses in the $100-300 range, as there are several vendors in that range from Asia. Some of them can be really a steal. But overall you get the quality you pay for. Look what the lenses of the big camera companies offer, both optically and from features like AF and IS, and you see why 3D printing won't just turn the market upside down.

As an enthusiast, I find the tinkering possibilities opened up by 3D printing highly interesting though.
China auto hub Chongqing extends factory power cuts indefinitely
Congress is considerable source of explicit allowance for overages in such projects, including at times forcing politically popular purchases that military doesn't want. While forcing inefficiencies in procurement from projects having to buy votes by spreading production.
For some reason I am thinking in the terms of closed ranges if not specified otherwise/doing it for myself. [i:i-1] is how i think of empty ranges, and [i:i] if I want to capture the element i with a range. Also [a:b] + [b+1:c] corresponds more what I want, than [a:b) + [b:c).

I guess the majority of the people are not like this, but arguments like "just look at it how strange it looks" don't do it for me, because it looks natural, and the other way looks complicated.

Really cool article, thanks for the link!
IMO the real problem here is how these words get used.

If you look at Netflix, you have documentaries, tv shows, stand up specials, films. When you want to refer to those things in aggregate, “content” is a better term than “stuff to watch”.

Likewise, some of the people on YouTube are artists, documentarians, educators, entertainers… “creators” is a perfectly reasonable umbrella term.

The problem with these two terms is how conversations that involve them have a tendency to treat them as fodder, and are more interested in the numbers than the actual contents of the content.

In a similar vein, community is a perfectly reasonable word for “the people involved in this thing at large”, and culture for “the ways those people interact and their shared references”. You can eg say that the Rust community is much more welcoming than the Scala community (whether you agree or not is a different matter). The problem is when togetherness and belonging don’t exist as grassroots movements, and those words get abused as a way to astroturf.

That's exactly what Vue does (unlike say React). Only those parts of the VDOM are updated whose dependencies changed. v-memo is mostly for lists and cases where updates should be delayed for reasons like flickering.

>Families can have multiple kids taking online classes while both parents are also working remotely. Many families have multiple devices per person that can be streaming, downloading, OR UPLOADING (commonly the aspect shortchanged in residential Internet) which, at times, can easily saturate a 1Gb connection.
