Your generation is taught to be unreasonable in their expectations, this website is basically made up of prodigal children who all missed some substantial developmental milestones but who ended up being rewarded for years of interest in very specific topics. Bertrand Russell correctly stated that time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. If you have now decided you want change, then great. However, you have played so much World of Warcraft, you are beginning to view life as some sort of RPG you need to min/max. You don't. While removing distractions can be useful, your interest led you where it led you. I'm much the same and am now happily employed as a dev and I still game in my 30s. I have fantastic and substantial memories of virtual worlds and summers with amazing people and alone. 23 is ridiculously young, by western european standards these days you are effectively still an adolescent.

In terms of comparisons, John Carmack made some decent contributions, but you have zero insight into the costs of it. Much of compulsive recreational thrill seeking is due to emotional instability from childhood, so I think a small amount of therapy, and cutting yourself some slack is in order.
Exactly. If something's weird, it should be investigated. Not curtail the careers of people who do report it to discourage others reporting weird things. However, when those weird things are backed up by multiple sensors, and relate to multiple objects flying in formation maneuvering in ways far beyond technology we know about, there are only a few possibilities, and they should all be seriously considered.

The US government/military (and probably still large parts of the secret side) has been actively FUDding over the years (e.g. curtailing careers of people who report UFOs, project Blue Book), so you have to weigh things up on the balance of what evidence you can find. Short of little green men landing in front of a news crew, some people won't accept anything, even now the US is admitting to investigating them.

There is now fairly substantial evidence that COVID can cause your brain to physically shrink. Maybe some people experience a placebo effect, but long COVID is clearly a real, physical disease at this point.
Well there are some who claim to know, and will argue that “it happened this way” when in reality it’s a guess, based on some assumptions, and measurements, fit to a model. We don’t know everything, and it’s worth the contradiction to point out the fallacy of those who postulate
Many so-called cloud kitchens are independent restaurants, though. I see ads for ghost kitchen spaces a lot because I was a chef. They're essentially office buildings with commercial kitchen space instead of office space, and a unified ticket/pickup area for customers and drivers. They're often housed in industrial areas that see little negative impact from their presence since they do most of their business outside of business hours, and around me at least, are the cheapest way to break into the "restaurant" business.

The model has been tainted by larger chains (e.g. Chili's, Chuck E. Cheeze) notoriously branding multiple menus to look like indie places for online orders, and bigger quick-serve franchises (e.g. McDonalds) doing standalone delivery-only build-outs in cheaper neighborhoods that could probably benefit from an actual restaurant, but instead just get the traffic and smells. It's too bad because I think the ghost kitchen tenant model is a clever way to share resources for folks just starting out.

Here's one I got a bunch of ads for when they first opened up and I lived nearby.

My favourite example of this in English is adjective order.

Native speakers learn that it should be "big red bus" rather than "red big bus", however most couldn't list the ~7 adjective types and order they should be used in, yet will know straight away when they're wrong.
Anecdote, had covid in the end of 2020, still dont feel 100%, maybe i just grew old while sick and thats just life, but i feel like shit comparable to what i felt before it.
> in a market economy

> to suppress your wages

Can't really tell where you're going with this. The solution to a labor shortage is higher wages. You seem to be suggesting that it should be an increase in minimum wage.

In a market economy, you absolutely wouldn't need this if you had a labor shortage...the market would resolve on its own. But we don't have that. We have an economy where millions are paid by the govt to do nothing. This then becomes what employers are competing with.
There's a magic number of job applications necessary to land the job. I can't tell you what that number is, so you have to keep doing it.

And what I would do, rather than use the offer as leverage for a raise is to leave. I would leave them in very good shape, documents for everything, knowledge transfers to my successor and be available for some consults after I leave, etc. I would be the good guy. For me. I need to like my reflection in the mirror.

They are unable or unwilling to pay more now. That won't change if I put a gun to their head and force a raise out of them. Other things will however change, and that is highly unpredictable, but probably mostly in the column of I'm fucked rather than they're peachy and happy with the situation.
Implying that it shouldn't have much of a price effect?

That's only true on elastic consumption.
>On the surface, it implies the limits of our knowledge while simultaneously indicating that the author possesses the omnipotence required to know what humans will learn throughout the entirety of our future

That's no contradiction though.

A contradiction would be "I know everything about X" and at the same time "There's a limit to our knowledge of X".

It's no contradiction to claim that there are limits to our knowledge but still claim to absolutely know Y about Z.

In other words, the idea that "there are limits to our knowledge" is not incompatible with the idea that we fully know this or that. You just mean that those limits only apply to other things.

(Heck, in math we can even prove that some things can never be proven, thus both implying limits to our knowledge and that we know something with 100% certainty).

I'm glad that your 4 cases of COVID did not leave you with any debilitating side effects, but treating Long COVID so flippantly when it has ruined so many lives is a pretty ghoulish thing to do. I know people who are absolutely miserable because it left them with breathing/fatigue issues or cognitive disabilities - things that are known to be real and are observable via diagnostic tests.

Whataboutism like "has anyone studied Long Cold" really does no one any favors.
From the Download page[1]:

So yeah, looks like Haskell because it is Haskell! :)

> Faith by definition isn't something which can be backed by evidence

There is evidence backed belief in the unseen, and there is blind faith. So your claim that by definition faith is without evidence is not correct.

Secondly, even science needs to accept certain axioms as a given so that we can build upon them.

Scientism is believing that the only way to arrive at truth is through experimentation, which is a false view. There are many things we accept, even though we cannot prove them through experimentation.

Watch the lecture I posted to broaden your horizons.
I see bitcoin miners rubbing their hands at this idea. That's more loopholes than a warehouse full of loopholes.
This page makes no reference to any synonyms. Can you explain?
I am sure all pot smokers know the answer. The observable universe is in a much larger universe with many like itself. Sometimes universes collide and form a new universe. There is an infinite stack of these much larger and much smaller universes (more like a fractal tree actually); some are hot and some are cold but even cold universes can collide make a hot universe.
it’s a more practical solution for right now though. we can’t expect the world to switch its entire infrastructure overnight, or even quickly. yes, the rich nations might get a head start, but they represent such a small fraction of emissions.
I live in Cyprus which experiences sunshine almost 365 days a year and has an isolated power grid from the rest of the world. We also suffer from the incompetency of Greece and Spain but I believe solar parks are not the solution. Building solar parks is a waste of land which could be used for other purposes (agriculture for example). A much better solution is to ensure every single building has solar panels on its roof. Until recently there was no incentive or motivation for this but during the past 6 months with increasing electricity costs there has been a shift to PV to the point that cost of setup has almost doubled but people are still installing them. We're heading in the right direction but it will take years for energy independence.
Not in the USA, of course, but philosophers of government have identified this as "tyranny of the majority".
> I think that is pretty rare among languages but I'm not sure.

Not rare among the ones I know, you can do that all over the Nordics and in Germany. So from my perspective you think wrong.
Good,point about aging into it. When you are younger you don’t care what the neighbors think really, your only social positions that count are amongst your friends and at school so you don’t really grok where Violet is coming from it’s all just boring old people without that.
There are a lot of type-level checks you can do in Haskell that are simply not feasible in most other languages and that helps with the realtime guarantees of the generated code. Syntactic preferences may also be there of course (Haskell is certainly not underrepresented in compiler dev circles), but there are definitely technical reasons as well.
College graduates may be less likely to be exposed to larger quantities of COVID molecules (e.g. driving via car, vs taking the subway, or any other number of possibilities), or perhaps they had better treatment of their COVID due to their financial capabilities.
Far too quick. Of course, there isn't a direct causal connection between college degrees and severity of Covid, but there are huge average differences between more and less educated individuals, including lots of health related outcomes. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/03/17/educated... (chosen basically at random, basically any relevant google search will get you many articles saying similar things).

It's also unbelievable that these groups don't differ in frequency of having Covid, vaccination rates, likelihood of having had Covid in 2020 vs. post vaccination, etc. Since we know vaccination has some protective effect against long-covid, that's another factor.

This doesn't mean these reports reflect underlying reality permanently (maybe a desk jockey reports disability differently than someone with a physically demanding job, maybe other factors make people less likely to report). But there are plenty of ways education can predict outcomes that aren't just reporting bias.
>But they are very very old tools and I don't think we need them anymore.

The societial problems that once solved by religion is worse than ever. It is true that current religions cannot solve it, because they have been "fact checked" out by the new religion of "science" with scientists as the new holymen, but that is a separate discussion.

The point is, we need a solution to those problems more than ever, but we truly cannot hope to find one.
But mashing this to github copilot would be my personal dream come true.
The article [1] is a bit old (2010) but still relevant to answer your question. It compares the efficiency of a HD.264 implemented first on a general purpose CPU, then on a SIMD+VLIW DSP, then on the same DSP with additional optimized instruction, then on this platform with macro memory based accelerators, and lastly a pure ASIC implementation. There are significant efficiency gains at each steps, the big gap is between optimized ops and macro accelerators.

Flexibility do have a price. With efficiency gains due to new nodes getting lower (and pricer!), it's normal to see more dedicated hardware accelerators.

Is the Big Bang Cycling Through Hidden Time? (2015)
I dont care about thinness, or fan-less-ness or battery life, assuming it's adequate.

I care about openness and performance (watts are irrelevant if reasonable like they are now).

Your list, to me, sounds like marketing. Move the goal posts to these arbitrary points, declare victory.
“That’s all that science can tell us.”

Currently perhaps. There’s a ton of big brains out there and even more yet to be born.
The key is not to let the heat in in the first place during the summer.
Thick external shutters do wonders in that regard.
Well insulated windows alone will let in the heat (in form of light) but not out again (IR).

I really wonder why these shutters are not way more common than they are.
That’s not fair. Some people care about different things than you do. I think op’s description is more aligned with the broader market, but that’s just, like, my opinion.
The fires are mostly caused by large transmission lines outside of urban areas, not local lines on residential streets.
> Only if customers are willing to buy at that price. Which is only true now because there are no cheaper competitors to turn to, which in turn is because the entire system is operating at capacity.

In other words, the price is the marginal price: at the very edge. What is the highest price consumers want to pay for X amount of electricity. You should split it up: say price of electricity is 5$. That means:

Electricity produced at 1$: sells for 5$

Electricity produced at 2$: sells for 5$

Electricity produced at 3$: sells for 5$

Electricity produced at 4$: sells for 5$

Electricity produced at 5$: sells for 5$

Electricity produced at 6$: does not sell, plants get paused
My strong opinions, weakly held:

* God is not a good hypothesis for any secondary cause. The creation of space-time as we currently understand it must have had a secondary cause. Let's patiently keep looking for a scientific hypothesis (theoretical or empirical) that is an incremental improvement on what we already know.

* Religious people who conceive of God as the creator, believing that the word 'creator' refers to the creation of the universe at some point in the past, are completely misunderstanding the use of the word and need to do some more homework.

* Non-Religious people should stop conflating 'metaphysical' statements with religion. Can we agree that we need to make metaphysical statements from time to time if we are having a conversation to understand something 'about physics'?

KOSMO.com

-

Back in ~1999 there was a site called KOSMO.com, and, in San Francisco it was basically "doordash" and sought to employ a ton of urban bicycle delivery folks. I bought my first on-line delivery from KOSMO and it was delivered to me by bike messenger within an hour. That thing was the movie DVD "RAN" by Kirosawa....

so shorlty after this, I was on a flight back east and was talking with a guy sitting next to me, and we were talking about KOSMO, and I said to him "You know what would be great, would be a heat-map of restaraunts that are within my radi of travel modes (like whats within a five minute walk and is indian food"

I described this whole model I wanted from these new ways to deliver, order, pay....

Turned out the guy sitting next to me was one of the founders of KOSMO.com.....

--

They went under pretty quick and never developed tech for "whats near me now", so that sucks.

and to this day, with maps.FAANG everything and online order/delivery service Unicorns, I still dont have the perfect "map of shit thats near me as a heat map, based on what I am looking for and my mode of either transport/delivery"

Maps are really good, but they are still simply "maps"

I'd like a 'sentiment' layer on top of maps.

---

An example would be:

Show me the neighborhood [indian/mexican/whatever] restaurant, but show me traffic to and from, based on the radius of its customer-base

So basically you can see how many people are flocking to a place.
> Or this one: we stop pussy footing around, get our fingers dirty in the war and start bombing the shit out of Russia

Don't expect that this will end up being as nice and comfy as bombing other 3rd world countries, which is the only military expertise that NATO had had for decades.

A few hypersonic Kinzhals with tactical nuclear warheads would surely be a refreshing response to NATO's typical "hit-and-run" tactics.
She explicitly says that the scientific method is insufficient to give an answer to this question. So reading anything written by scientists won't give a conclusive answer. I think it's implicitly hinted that you might as well read something by a religious person, or a philosopher, or anyone with a random theory, as none of the theories can be proven or disproven by the scientific method, and so all of their answers will be equally (un)satisfying.

It's theoretically possible that we'll one day find some other method of finding out the truth (perhaps a god will descend from the heavens and tell us? or perhaps we manage to find a bug / exploit in the simulation?) but personally I find it unlikely.
I miss Apollo's Domain OS. I was schocked what could be done with a 20 MHz processor and 4 Megs of RAM.
Faith is the justification that people give when they believe something for no good reason.

You can believe anything based on faith, therefore, it's not a reliable path to truth.

Only reason is.

The faster our civilization gets rid of faith, the better off we'll be.
>Science is not a religion.

What is the difference between a holy man who claims to have the word of god, and a scientist who claims to have followed the "scientifc method"?

Modern human believes the latter. That is the difference.

Can we please have ONE. SINGLE. SILICON DISCUSSION ON HN. stay on the topic at hand without fanboys spamming "hurr durr, my M2 is da best, Intel suxxx, X86 is dead!!!111one", while not bringing anything useful or relevant to the discussion?

Seeing your comment at the top makes me not want to ever open any silicon topic here again as I'm sure it will be full of these kind of low effort comments vomiting marketing garble on how AS is the best and everything else is doomed to failure, while not bringing any useful info or arguments on-topic.

Dunno about the first two, but Mark Rober is actually doing something useful.

He's not famous for being famous, the dude worked at NASA for almost a decade and is a legit accomplished engineer.

What I'm mostly referring to are the "influencers" who follow this formula:

1) Be hot
2) Don't be not hot
3) Get on TV
4) Goto 3

Now you're famous. What are your skills? Looking good on TV and stirring up drama on and off screen.
> At this level, they have no incentive to ramp up production

In a monopoly situation, yes. Luckily there is competition, and at this level their competition has a great incentive to ramp up capacity. Which, frankly, is going to make them ramp up production so they can capture a bigger piece of the market when the situation isn't quite as ridiculous as it is today anymore.
And the operating system too, so they can fully leverage all the special features on the chip to improve UX.

Once you have critical mass being able to have enough experienced engineers up and down the whole stack, and you’ve figured out an organizational structure that allows them to work together efficiently, I don’t see how you can beat the vertical integration in a world where the fabs Apple can use are actually better than Intel’s own fab.
This just falls completely apart when you look at the history of physics. Einstein for example is usually considered to be one of the smarter people, and even he thought it would be impossible to ever measure gravitational waves directly. He simply could not foresee the future developments of quantum mechanics, like lasers or squeezed light states. And yet here we are. Even if the author was the best physicist in the world (and if you look at her papers she certainly isn't by a long shot), you should never trust any statement like that. This is not just detrimental to science outreach (these things capture young people's imagination after all), it's also pointless to argue about them when we know that we almost certainly just lack imagination ourselves. Noone alive today can tell what will be possible in 100 years, period.
It would be even more better if they didn't close their nuclear power plants. I am still shocked how sad and untimely this decision had been.

Krugman and Manikw are ideological adversaries. They both wrote Macroeconomics textbooks which fully agree with each other.
I think a suitable counter argument is that Apple has grown too large and needs to be split into multiple smaller companies to better aid competition.

Between what they're doing to silicon, the outrageous App Store behavior, and how they flaunt that they're a quazi-government entity, I think this could find broad support in Congress and the DOJ.

Nobody can compete with Apple, and that's a bad thing for everyone.
