I'm definitely on the left side of the political spectrum. But I am very frustrated by how leftism seems so often be so centred on critique (a negative trait) rather than building ideas/stuff.

"Speaking truth to power" is not really working because power doesn't care. Organizing seldom leads anywhere because it's just interpreted as more of "speaking truth to power" through protest. More critique. If a power structure is bad and it doesn't listen to you yelling louder doesn't really work. Complaining doesn't work. There needs to be something positive. Something that creates an alternative. But somehow the right owns the idea of entrepreneurship and unions are out of fashion and have maybe stagnated as a concept so the left is stuck protesting.

For those who are just first learning about click chemistry, it makes attaching two larger molecules together very, very simple. It can be done under very gentle conditions (like in water), and has exceptional selectivity. Like it's so selective you really don't need to worry about other things happening on the timescales these reactions occur and can be cleaned up (an hour). There are two types of click chemistry, one that uses copper as a catalyst and one that doesn't. They both opened the world of chemically "stapling" two things together to literally all bench scientists. I cannot overstate how transformative this has been to biological science.

Pessimists push the Optimists to prove they are right. As a pessimist, you need to allow yourself to be proven wrong.

I think using test would be the best, even if it's awkward, but [[ is a Bashism (so not POSIX shell compatible), and [ is jut an alias for test and requires that dumb closing bracket, and you are already execve()-ing a separate program for comparison, you are already depending on the exit code, so why not make it explicit by using test.

(I continue to use [[ and never look back, just forward, trying to picture the shining city on a conveniently sloped hill, where people live without fear in their hearts, where they have compile time checking for their scripts, and the compiler gently pushes them toward sane error handling. Not too much, but definitely not too little. Something like Rust's Result type.)

So no clue who GP is. Grandparent is my best guess. And with respect to you, that would be the guy I was responding to, but that couldn’t possibly be correct because he said

From context, inferred to be calculus, esp because

Soooo… who is GP
I've turned to optimism this year as well, after being a lifelong pessimist. I realised the same - it takes up way too much energy and I end up doing nothing.

Either not stressing all the time will make me do more, or at least I'll feel better. That's still a win for my mental health if nothing else. I'm still well aware of all the problems around me, and try to help where I can, but beyond that point I maintain some personal distance.
Interesting to compare this to DreamFusion[1] which came out of Google Research (which also did this paper) today.

In DreamFusion they do use a NeRF representation.

I'd argue it's much easier to cheat in Chess than those games. In Chess the "hidden information" is the best move to play (I know I'm misusing the term there), which is easily determined by using a computer.

eSports are similar to normal sports in the fact that even if you have complete information, you need the physical skill to back it up. Professional DotA / SC2 / CSGO players would still wipe the floor with a mediocre player using maphacks.
Well that's fair for the switch.

Are you suggesting having 2+ copies of your infra so that you can withstand losing one of them? I've never heard anybody propose this approach before.

> If you want to build a _reliable_ infrastructure, the only rule is to avoid singe point of failure. Account is one of those.

I'm not sure which sense of the word "reliable" you're using here. Usually durability / continuity of business conversations focus on having backups in other accounts (on same or different IaaS providers).

Availability conversations are usually centered around multi-region within a single IaaS provider, and that can be in a single account. Sure, you could build it to use multiple accounts, and you might pat yourself on the back if it ever actually saves you, but how long would it take to build that and what else could you have done with that time?
Does this mean “math above algebra”? Algebra is used at the word problem level, trying for unit prices or maximizing number and preference of candy bars at halloween and stuff like that.

Many of HN readers use more complex math in their professional lives I’m sure so I’ll take this as “normal life” instead. While I don’t do hardware, I’m sure there are people who have used trig doing construction or landscaping (explicitly or intuitively). I can’t thing of anything else with my morning coffee - can others?
If anything, the motte-and-bailey shoe seems to be on the other foot from my end. You claim capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with many aspects of human flourishing, then provide as evidence countries which are widely thought to be capitalist (and think of themselves as capitalist), but regulate the capitalism.

I don't know if there's a meaningful, concrete difference of views worth discussing here anymore. We both agree capitalism should be regulated and can't make the biggest, riskiest investments society needs.

Maybe we could put it this way - is capitalism like arsenic, a useless toxin that the human body shouldn't be exposed to, or is it like iron, something that can be poisonous in excess but also serves a critical function?

Who ever told you that is wrong. Doesn't matter if the client or the server collects data.
XML is a fine markup language for anything that looks like a document, but a very poor configuration format.

JSON is a great text-based exchange format and protocol medium, but extremely poor configuration language (no comments, no references, very restricted syntax for human editing).

Every tool has it uses (for configuration purposes I suggest something like HOCON, or even some superset of INI, like Python’s configparser).

YAML is bad at everything.

When Elon Musk first announced he would buy Twitter, the Left was apoplectic. [0]

Then Musk sued not to buy Twitter, and they flipped: ELON MUST BE FORCED TO BUY TWITTER!

Now he's back to buying Twitter (same price and terms as before), and the Left is overcome with joy…that he's buying Twitter.

Genius.

Has anyone, anywhere, anytime flipped more people to his side than Elon Musk did over the last few months? This is successful PR at another level.

[0] AFAICT, the Right has always been happy Musk is buying Twitter.
to some people a watch is a fashion item, i acknowledge that to them my opinion is 100% invalid

I see a watch as a tool.
aside from the date and time that any watch should provide reminders, the current temperature/weather, media controls for my phone, something to let me know my phone is blowing up when i've got it muted or it isn't in my pocket, and maybe a calculator is really about all a smart watch should do.

open and extensible enough to be able to roll your own tools or maybe hack together something like a remote garage door opener or a remote for a tv or pc would be nice, or a data logger of some sort (steps,temperature, location, barametric pressure, altitude,etc) but there are probably items that could get the same job done, just as easily, possibly better.

Heart rate/glucose monitoring may be helpful for some people with medical issues or an interest in their personal fitness/health, gps could be handy for hikers or certain careers..

but to be honest, the vast majority most of the features of "smartwatches" are solutions looking for a problem and manufacturers have proven over and over they have no clue. a watch that has to be charged daily is almost pointless. a bright multicolor screen and enough processing power to play hd video on a 1-3" inch screen is pointless and a waste of battery.

advertisers, marketplaces, etc are a bit too much. you probably could get a few accidental ad clicks on a scientific calculator but if you need money that bad you're doing something wrong or trying to save up to be able to move planets with a spoon.

"smart watch" utility/design peaked somewhere between the pebble and the amazfit bip.
That's me, too.

I think in order to found a startup one needs to be an optimist. The risks are high, chances of success are low, it's a lot of work and a ton of stress.

But in order for that startup to achieve anything, it needs realists (optimists call them pessimists, or can't tell the difference) to figure out what might go wrong and and keep it all on track.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- Roosevelt

I am suprised the author has such a low opinion of optimism. After internalising Roosevelt I have actively tried to temper cynical thought when interacting with others. It's easy to throw stones and find fault but its much more powerful to be in the driving seat of change (which innately requires optimism)

> Why would people want to build a UI in Rust except for speed?

Lots of reasons.

* The developer is familiar with Rust.

* The rest of the project is written in Rust.

* The primary function of the app is something for which a library exists in Rust.

Sure, Rust is known for running fast and for memory safety. But that doesn't mean that it will never be used except for those two reasons.
Because we don't pay for them. Other companies will pay, however. The user is no longer the client, thusly, so vendors found the ad partners and other things to fill that gap instead and they run the show. The internet is basically over.

Worse then pessimism is taking Patents seriously.

Because anyone who does can basically no longer innovate anything at all as there is probably a patent about some aspect of you innovation (which should never have been issued). Patents on the level of patenting trivial things like automatically shutting down unneeded resources.

In a caring about (such) patents is for innovation like endless pessimism for your live, okay maybe more like being depressed or having an anxiety disorder.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, manipulating the social environment sounds evil and may lead down a dangerous path.

I was mainly thinking about what Skinner describes as bringing "the individual under the control of some remote consequences of his behavior". For example, the prospect of ultimately bringing about the extinction of humanity in a few hundred years is too remote to have an effect on anybody's decisions. It would be good to have a system that mediates the effect. I guess, "internalisation of external costs" sounds less threatening.
With all the fascicles and updates to released volumes I'm a bit confused as to where one would start today with TAOCP.

If I wanted to give it an honest try, what do I buy?

Volume 1, 3rd edition + Volume 1, Fascicle 1?

If I get this right, fascicle 1 of Vol. 1 is used to replace/update the old MIX architecture used in TAoCP with the new MMIX. If so, what about volumes 2-4?

Yes. And judging by how many Americans die of gunshot wounds each year, and how many guns are sold, and the profits of the major gun manufacturers - how successful is that "blame the tool and manufacturer" strategy?

> there's absolutely no safety mindset for anything behind the cover.

As a counter-point: One persons "safety" is another persons "limitation". Sometimes it's good that things are generally protected but you can break through the protections somewhat.
But we used taxpayer money to first inject trillions into the top of the economy. And then when the inevitable happens, we can’t just throw our arms in the air “because inflation!” — that’s a great way to make sure that the bottom of the economy will suffer tremendously due to all this.

Because their income hasn’t increased nearly as much as the amount of inflation that occurred.
The article talks not about "personal" optimism/pessimism, but about a social one. It compares an optimistic society with a pessimistic one. What this choice brings to a society?

As fas as I understand it, they didn't seize Bitcoins. They seized the computer, and the computer is still in the government's hands.

If they really wanted to seize Bitcoins, they could transfer them to the Wallet they own. Given the fact that they left them where they were, means they didn't seize them, and they can't complain that a person moved them somewhere else.

I know it was in place, but my ass was in his orgo classes at the time and as a newbie my perspective was limited. Perhaps the goal was to push harder on weed out, perhaps he was just determinedly old fashioned. Perhaps he hated teaching second year uni classes.

> But I do not remember learning ski or snowboard felt unintuitive.

I struggled for years with 'keep your weight on the downhill ski'. When I realised that it sort of meant 'lean downhill' turning on steeps suddenly became a lot easier. This was counter intuitive in that when I turned on a bike, I was invariably leaning in to the turn, not out.

It was actually learning to skate on skis that helped me make the transition to better turning.
> I know people that don't think raising the minimum wage basically just causes inflation. They're just wondering why apartments in undesirable areas became 3x more expensive when minimum wage went from $5 to $15.

That's a pretty poor example though as there are many factors that contribute to property prices and there isn't just a mechanical link between wages and house prices.

I have to disagree here.

Linux is great on laptops. A bug can happen anywhere. And macOS is way too locked down for many people. Of course Linux is great for servers too but why stop there? I really love KDE as a desktop. It's just more free and configurable than either Windows or Mac. I don't like being stuck with the choices made by the developer. For this reason I don't use gnome either but it's good that it exists for those who do subscribe to the opinionated software concept. That's the biggest strength of Linux. It can be whatever you want it to be.

Laws start simple. Eg, Code of Hammurabi. Then they get complicated as we run into more and more edge cases that need handling.

In good measure laws get complicated because simple laws get worked around and abused.

We see this in tech too. Email is a simple concept that's grown into a highly specialized territory because spammers will exploit everything they can, and the more holes you patch, the more complex the system becomes.
While I agree that Mac is still a better desktop, IMHO this is a hardware bug. It should not be possible to damage a computer with a simple setting. Things like intentionally wearing out SSD with endless writes are unavoidably possible but the hardware should not allow a driver bug to brick it.

I've worked on 3d vision systems before and have experimented using different types of sensors in multi-sensor setups, and I'd argue that overwhelmingly it's a software problem.

More sensors help, but passed a point it's extremely marginal, plus you're throwing the majority of the raw data away anyway.

I do agree though - assuming processing power isn't a performance bottleneck here, more data is always better. But there's a reason humans only have two eyes and not three or four, for example. Two eyes are really all you need.
