A million, perhaps. But you're talking about adding one instruction to every single data access. Plus your code bloats up with all those extra dec instructions. BCPL and C were created for departmental and lab computers like the pdp-9.

Note, for example that the mighty 6502 succeeded in the market because its designers had heard from customers that the $100 price for the 6800 was too much, so they removed some instructions and addressing modes to get the die small enough that it could be sold for $20.
that's actually good verbosity, because the intent is very clear using this method, and multiple people can read the code and unambiguously identify the intent without having to talk to the original author.

This type of verbosity makes sense in a big organization where the left hand doesn't talk much to the right hand much, so communication naturally evolves to happen at the code level.
Has anybody seriously compared Dalle2 with Midjourney? I know that midjourney is a relative no-name but personal testing with the same prompts give me better results (matches expectations) on midjourney.

The validators need to be decentralized (i.e. prevent "harmful collusion"), but the slashers don't need to be in the same way (as long as the validators are).

There are tons of HVDC interconnects and transmission lines in place, many of which are already over 1000 km long. Many of these projects have been in place for decades. Breakthroughs in solid state HVDC are making it easier and cheaper all the time, but it's not some fanciful science fiction technology. It's a key element of existing power grids already.

Nomad supports CSI like Kubernetes. Unfortunately many CSI storage providers assume kubernetes or adhere to kubernetes behavior even when it deviates from the spec, so there are gotchas.

That being said they’re often glaring. So please report an issue to Nomad and the upstream of you hit an issue!

Nomad has 2 other storage features:

1. Host volumes where nodes can advertise a volume by name and jobs can request being placed on nodes with that volume available. I think a lot of folks run databases this way so they can statically define their database nodes and not worry about the numerous runtime points of failure CSI introduces.

2. Ephemeral disk stickiness and migration: during deployments an instance of a job’s intrinsic local storage can be set to either get reused on the same node (sticky) or migrated to wherever the new instance is placed.

Ephemeral disks is the oldest storage solution and is only a best effort (unlike CSI which may be able to reliably reattach and existing volume to a new node in the case of node failure). However I’ve heard of a lot of people happily using it for already distributed databases like Elasticsearch or Cassandra where the database can tolerate nomad’s best effort failing.

Not saying "zero" doesn't mean we don't mean it. All counting starts with 0. We just say "one" out loud as the first number. We probably should say "zero" too, but why say a word when you can say no words?
That's only doable with a text-centric website. I'm currently finishing a photography section for my personal website, and the gallery pages are several hundred kBs in size, while single photo page is almost 1MB in size (provided you load it on a 28" screen; browser will load smaller variants on smaller screens). Most of that weight is the thumbnails (and almost-full-size photo in the latter case). The only JS I have is 6 lines (before minifying) on single photo pages which allow you to go to next or previous photo with keyboard arrows. I don't use any CSS frameworks, just a single hand-written CSS file. I don't have any tracking, analytics, social media features or anything of this sort.

So if even a personal site being done with no deadlines, no pressure from management to include analytics etc. can't do it, because it wants to display a bunch of photos, then I don't think we can expect "web-scale" websites to achieve it.
If it had a better name it might surpass zlib and be the #1 deployed library in existence instead of just #2.
On FreeBSD you can quickly tell what is a part of the base system vs not based on where it is located. Your /usr directory typically isn't empty on a new Linux install, whereas /usr/local is totally empty on FreeBSD when you install it.

A simple example is if you run 'which vim'. If you have installed vim through pkg on FreeBSD it will show up in /usr/local/bin/vim. Whereas if you run 'which vim' on Ubuntu, it will show up in /usr/bin/vim -- but on Ubuntu Desktop (when I last used it) vim is preinstalled. You can't just look at the /usr directory on a Linux machine in most cases and know what was installed when you installed the machine.

I mean, try debloating an Ubuntu Desktop machine that's been used for a while and tell me if by looking at the /usr directory what was included in the install vs what you installed post-install.
Maybe. That's a somewhat different issue though. The police had us implicitly make the site more attractive to predators, making it even more dangerous than it could have been at a baseline while still having us work hard to prevent it.

On the issue of the baseline, though, I think this is a tricky thing. The alternatives teenagers used at the time were far more lax in their enforcement and moderation policies, but because they were made by bigger companies they got a pass from parents.

The idea that we can keep teenagers completely away from dangerous things on social media feels a lot like abstinence education to me. The reality is complicated.

But I don't think we were perfect - tbh I don't think we were at all well equipped to the responsibility. But I do think we tried.

> Manual transmissions are not "an order of magnitude less complex and cheaper."

Don't take my word for it. Just look at the size of a manual drivetrain vs an automatic. The increase in steel is directly proportional to the engineering required/number of moving parts.

>Manual transmission vehicles get significantly worse mileage

While it's true that CVTs have finally surpassed manuals for fuel efficiency, I think you are largely overstating the difference. We are taking about 1 to 2 MPG difference.

Dual clutches are certainly faster, but again they are huge and complex things. And not more efficient. Among car enthusiasts, they are becoming about as popular as devices that chew your food for you - technically superior, but who cares?

>Early gearboxes had longevity issues (clutches) but that's largely been sorted out and is no worse than manual transmission cars.

I don't know how someone can take this seriously. A Nissan CVT is not even serviceable - you literally have to swap the entire unit when it goes bad. Which costs more than a used Nissan! Meanwhile a comparable manual will run as long as it's engine.

Again, there's fundamentally half as many moving parts in the drive train. You can't escape the laws of thermodynamics.

Population growth is a solved problem as countries become wealthier. If you want to reduce population quickly, perhaps look at reducing the number of elderly people or reducing their economic dead weight cost (encourage euthanasia, export to cheaper countries, deathly games or sports, encourage pandemics, encourage depression, early payout for future euthanasia, et cetera). This could also solve the housing crisis (and housing is a driver for economic growth, and growth is really the main driver for global harm).

Direct costs for the elderly are currently ~40% of government expenditures in New Zealand and growing.

My guesstimate 23G$ ($==NZD in this comment) for superannuation/pension[1] and 16G$ healthcare costs[2] of 110G$ total expenditure for ~16% of population (789k of 5M in 2020, projected to 20% in 2030, and 25%+ eventually[3]).

That is ~60k$ per person. 50% of people retiring now can expect[4] to live 2 decades i.e. cost ~1M$ (totally ignoring discount value!).

> feasible to have children (through surrogate) at the age of 50

If you think it is okay to orphan 1 in 20 children, and that children don't have live grand parents, although maybe benefits of help with elderly care and passing on inheritance? 65 year old helping 90 year old is challenging and very common).

That would definitely reduce population (2 children per 2 adults reproducing at 50 has maybe 40% less total population count, compared against population count if reproducing at 25).
Thanks. That is a great feature.

I do it using a $400 Prusa Mini and epoxy resin: https://alexbock.github.io/blog/3d-lenses/index.html

It's surprisingly easy to 3D print the shape of a lens and polish by hand. I made a working telescope this way with a 3D-printed body and two cast epoxy lenses. As an added bonus, you can easily make aspherical lenses this way.

If you coat the surface with silver you can also make mirrors, but the polishing requirements for this are a lot more difficult. My attempts at a 3D-printed telescope mirror have very bad image quality compared to the excellent results from the lenses.

I just submitted a link to a YouTube Vice TV documentary and it got instantly flagged. I don't understand why it did...

It was about how Narcissism is growing in the World... HN edited the title of my post at submission, so I don't think there was really any way I could manage to add more context to the original title.

I won't add the link here unless requested. Hoping a mod can tell me why, because I don't want to be flagged again... Thanks,
I probably own my last manual car, a Scion XA. When I was a teenager, driving stick was fun. It conferred a feeling of skill and exclusiveness, and also a way to drive like a teenager despite an underpowered engine on my way to my cello lesson.

Today, I've paid my dues. I've pushed the lever back and forth, and stepped on the pedal, probably millions of times. It makes me feel like I'm in one of those psychology experiments, where they see how many times a rat will push a button in order to earn a pellet of food.

But also, driving has stopped being fun, due to congestion. Today it's just a chore.

Of course it's a matter of personal preference, I get that. Today, I like everything automatic. Get in, step on the pedal, go. Step on the other pedal, stop. Even better than automatic tranny, is adaptive cruise control. That's like night and day when on the highway.
In my extremely limited home 10G experience so far, SFP+ DAC modules have seemed relatively inexpensive with low(er) thermals than 10GbaseT (subjective SWAGs here, not detailed thermal measurements!) and are a great, cheap way to connect a desktop to a 10G switch. Kinda makes me fantasize about a laptop with an SFP+ slot, TBH...

I was admittedly just too chicken to wire my home with fiber (nervous about kinking it) so used plenum CAT-6A for my mid-length runs (~50ft). Perhaps there are classes of "tough fiber" for this use case?

I gotta say, I LOVE Sonic. $40/mo and I actually get 6gbps+ up, 6gbps+ down real measured throughput, and unmetered/unfiltered. Great support and a great CEO, Dane. Just wish I could pay a bit more for a static IP, like I did with AT&T Fiber.

> The Russian rouble is outperforming the usd this year. That does not look like a collapsing economy. In fact, it has gained 40% on the euro.

It only looks like this because it’s being propped up by massive cash spending of Russian foreign reserves and because it cannot be traded internationally in any significant volume.

If the economy is doing so well why did Gazprom and Sberbank cancel it’s dividend with Russia?. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/06/30/state-firms-gazpro...

> If Russia loses, they will withdraw to their borders. In the worst case they lose access to the Caspian sea. If not, they will acquire Ukraine.

If Russia losses they lose access to their Black Sea headquarters and also Crimea. They also face quite badly, but I guess that’s really already come to pass no one thinks Russia is the number two army in the world anymore.

Even if Russia did capture Ukraine they would face a long insurgency that would make Afghanistan look like a cake walk. I initially thought Russia would capture a lot of land early on but I didn’t they would be able to hold it, and we already seeing this with how many collaborators and Russian soldiers keep dying in occupied cities from partisans.

> The real loser is Ukraine, no matter what happens from here on.

This is hundred percent true but they lose much harder if they just let the genocidal Russians take over Ukraine and keep committing genocide against them.

The way my wife and I do it is that I (who make more money) pay the majority of the bills and also handle a lot (but not all) of the long term savings. That leaves us with roughly equal disposable income. Sometimes she asks me for a little extra cash, rarely I ask her to help cover some large sudden expense. If I'm honest, I might spend a little more than she does but she says the same about herself so it's hard to know.

This is just how we organize things though. In reality no matter who's account it's in it's all our money. We face everything in life together and recognize a single interest, you can't enrich one of us without enriching us both. I refer to it as "sharing a life."

Together we make about as much as the OP (with nothing from his wife, so a lot less overall) but I would feel a lot poorer if the two of us were scrapping over who should pay what.
> That's not an argument. It's a coincidence. There are applications where what you care about is the number of predecessors (indeed, that's what the compiler cares about, which is why we have 0-indexing in the first place), but they are a tiny minority of all indexing.

I think there's nothing to say to the first two sentences but that I regard it as an argument that may be more or less convincing. I don't know exactly what it means for something to be an argument vs. a coincidence; it is a coincidence that, say, my name is what it is, but it is nonetheless correct for me to argue that that is my name.

These are all conventions anyway, and there is not much use (or even meaning) in arguing about which one is the right or wrong convention, just which one makes more or less sense; and this is one way to make sense of 0-based indexing, though of course there are also ways to make sense of 1-based indexing.

I'm not sure I buy that these cases are a tiny minority, but I'm certainly in no position to produce any data to the contrary.

> > I think an age-based way to phrase it: in your 1st year, your age is 0; in your 2nd year, your age is 1; and so on.

> But that isn't even true. No one ever reports the age of their new child as 0; instead, they will report a positive number of months, or -- if it's an extremely new child -- of weeks or days.

I can believe that ages aren't reported that way, although I think that a child who will be 1 year in 1 year should logically be said to be 0 years; but we can avoid that debate by considering future years: in, to pick the example that applies to me, my 42nd year of life, I am 41 (I could say 41 and 1 month, but I don't—in fact, there's a Seinfeld joke about that). Similarly, the 42nd entry in a 0-indexed array is indexed 41. It doesn't have to be that way, but I don't think one can argue that there's anything logically amiss about it (nor about 1-based indexing … but we do have to pick one).
This article misses mentioning that by far most EVs have no gear changing at all. The Porsche Taycan has 2 gears as did the original Tesla Roadster. Pretty much every other EV has one. So it's not only that manuals have been losing ground to automatics, but automatics have their days numbered as well.

Also grouping dual clutch transmissions like the PDK with regular old torque converter automatics is extremely silly.
If a woman has a child in her 50s she will spend her 50s (and maybe part of her 60s) taking care of the toddler and then raise them to be 10 years old. These are not easy years I can tell you that having gone through that more than once. And I was in my 30s and early 40s. Then, when she's in her mid-to-late 60s she'll have to deal with a moody and irrational teenager and try to make sure he/she won't screw up so bad as to ruin the rest of their lives. And she won't see them grow up to be independent adults until she's in her 70s. Is that what you envision yourselves doing in your last healthy years (and for many of us beyond that)?

> I'm having a hard time seeing how increasingly better and freely available AI artwork doesn't just completely replace artists

I agree that AI engines like DALL-E seem like a threat to many commercial artists, especially those whose name and personality are not closely associated with their works. Magazine illustrators are one example.

For some artists, though, the artist’s status as a human being with a unique identity is a big part of their appeal. That’s one reason why there’s such a huge price difference between, say, a painting believed to be by Van Gogh and a high-quality painting in Van Gogh’s style that is believed to be a forgery.

My daughter is a successful commercial artist, and I have been following the AI advances partly out of concern for her future. As it happens, she has been able to associate her name and personal identity even with her commercial works, and she is skilled at working closely with her clients to produce the kinds of illustrations they want. For the time being, at least, her business seems safe. I wouldn’t want to make a prediction about the long term, though.
