That's not what most people do and not how it's supposed to be used, so you are arguing a strawman. My MBA M1 is the best laptop I have ever used in 30+ years. The battery life alone is outstanding and it does wake up effectively instantly.
I can go months between rebooting.

ADD: as for cost, in my experience, my MacBooks tend to live for MUCH longer than my winbooks. My wife's MacBook Pro is over 8 years old. Personally I dread switching notebooks (moving data, adding customization, etc) and would happily pay double for something that will last me twice as long or longer.
This is why I will continue to state the what Elon Musk is doing with his Boring Company is an absolute joke and dangerous.

I don't think you need strict utilitarianism.

I think you just need to believe two believe the following to be mostly an effective altruist.

1. Helping two people is better than helping one

2. Helping one person a lot is better than helping another person a little.
Andreas, you are underestimating the complexity of C++ for mere mortals.

Maybe you should take a break from SerenityOS and write a book about the useful/practical subset of the C++ language??
We used to require degrees. Now days "techies" are throwing around medicine and trades experts in the same analysis and we end up with low standards across the board.
Long before Facebook, even before MySpace became huge our small national social network (actually a SMS and logo site that exploded) allowed you to choose a school and show you other people from that school that you could filter by age. Everyone below 20 was using it.

More or less the same thing
Thank you very much. This is quite useful and I appreciate the time and information.

Wait! You signed a contract saying A and you do A, meanwhile there's an "expectation" that you actually do A+B... That is not a healthy expectation.

Imagine if you were a contractor tasked with painting a room. Mid painting the expectation changes to "you're also expected to reinstall window and door trim, and paint it" (at no extra cost and by staying at jobsite longer), but with a remote probability of increased pay later. Or... The customer fires one of your colleagues and tells you that you and one more person must now deliver the job at the same pace.... but with only two thirds of the pay.

Looks like the site has a bug where it parses numbers incorrectly from the source PDF. The actual numbers are much lower in many cases.

If my French is up to the legalese, this means a French court ordered journalists not to publish further articles from a source. The reasoning being that "possible publication of trade secrets might damage the company".

That seems totally out of line for a democracy.

You just described 80% of Amazon.
It's registers are documented yes, but from the point of how it actually works. How data flows, how it is buffered internally, how it is timed etc it is absolute mystery. Yes, you can configure various parameters, but you can't for example skip functional blocks and get data quicker. It is unknown if it is all done with hardcoded static logic blocks, some sort of purpose made vector cpu and firmware. No one knows(or those that do don't say).

I worked with rk3566, but I believe rk3399 has the earlier version of the exact same isp. The version in rk3566 is 1.1. There are also versions 1.0 and just 1. All are documented in TRMs in the same way.

Edit: BTW, if you need the tooling (Rockchips isp profile development tool v2.1 and the manual for it) please let me know and I'll send it to you.
That is really impressive!
> but also because we already kinda tried an "everything app". It's called Facebook,

While WeChat was adding features, such as an independent creator marketplace, or payment systems, Facebook spent time aggressively pushing online web games that almost killed their platform.

Then Facebook started going for attention metrics above all else, and it became an app that fed people stories that made everyone angry and depressed, but did a good job increasing engagement!

Facebook should have started cloning WeChat features years earlier than they did.

Facebook's other problem is their real name policy. Having to be friends with someone to message them seriously limits how many people I talk to through Messenger.

But as it is, Facebook Marketplace is winning. Facebook events is winning. Facebook payments, no, not sure how they messed that up. Venmo and a few others are duking that one out, heck Venmo is used at garage sales.

Facebook doesn't need hyper growth, they need to just keep current user's happy and coming back for things. It doesn't matter if they aren't the #1 destination for GenZ to post photos. If everyone is buying/selling used goods, and going to concerts, and arranging birthday parties, and posting a small selection of curated travel photos, then be happy with that, and keep expanding into adjacent markets.

And separate out "people I want to talk to" from "people I want to show my life to".
> Is there more to Effective Altruism that I am unaware of?

You've got the concepts right.

However, Effective Altruism (with capital letters) has evolved into a collection of organizations, communities, bloggers, and personalities who exist adjacent to the "rationalist" community and spend a lot of time debating about things. There's also a large sect of the EA community that believes the risk of artificial intelligence becoming sentient and taking over the world in the future is the biggest risk to the world and therefore deserving of a lot of EA funding. Different people will give you different answers about how relevant this group is to the broader EA movement.

The more I read about Effective Altruism, the more I think it's best to stick to the high-level concepts and not get involved with all of the drama that surrounds self-labeled Effective Altruist communities or "movements". It gets weird, quickly.

Yes, they are neo-Nazi elements. Given that the Nazi political party no longer exists, anyone who adheres to their ideology is described as a neo-Nazi. It has nothing to do with whether they "know their theory," and I'm a bit confused as to what you think neo-Nazis believe if thinking you're ubermensch makes you an actual Nazi. All neo-Nazis believe those things - that's what it means to be a neo-Nazi!

I'd be curious for any source where any outlet with a readership above, say 1MM people, said that neo-Nazi battalions don't exist and that it's a conspiracy theory. Surely if "the mainstream media" was all about this position, you'll be able to find a source? I just looked and I couldn't find even one.

And before you go ahead and trick yourself in this search for sources: there are conspiracy theories that the upper echelons of Ukraine's national government is comprised of neo-Nazis. This is referred to as a conspiracy theory because it is.

I don’t know what to say, this is poor money management.
No, that’s not how malice works.

>Representing yourself as a professional while being ignorant is malice.

Being a professional just means you make a living doing it so you’re good enough to get paid. Nothing more, nothing less.
> It is not intended that the individual parts of the Code be used in isolation to justify errors of omission or commission

Good; an ideal to aim for rather than a judgement to be accused by

> The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts...

Err, as far as I read it this finalizing statement is in conflict with their preamble

If it is a basis to judge others, then I will also judge it:

It says work in the best interest of customer and employer; but omits working in your own interest. In a zero sum game, I can best work for other's interests by taking from my own

Their code of ethics also gives no model to evaluate between different actions, which is kinda important. "Adjudicating questionable acts" by only asking if they were in "The best interest of employer/etc," is a recipe for poor adjudication

IMHO
It's not at all at country scale though. Who in Russia wants to attack Ukraine and isn't an oligarch seeking to exploit the people living there (or mentally ill)?

What the...

No. If your company has to rely on people working extra hours and doing extra work, to actually function... then screw that company.

Imagine if you demanded your carpenter do your plumbing as well, because "as house can't operate without proper plumbing".
That’s not really an interesting thing about astrology though, is it? That’s an interesting hypothesis about if or why or how people’s personalities may vary.
Which is easily searchable - for example, results for ‘MBTI distribution by birth month’ show no correlation, which I would think would be a reasonable way of getting to the start of this answer.

I also tried searching for distribution of astrological signs by birth month and it was weird but there was a 1:1 distribution
(… I joke)
But the fact you didn’t investigate this and jumped straight to support of astrology clearly pegs you as a Virgo
Your model is simplistic. No sane electrical engineer would build a system where EVs charge on a uniform schedule evenly distributed across all 24 hours.

Rather, you can build a system where EV chargers are basically the inverse of natural gas peaker power plants. They turn on when grid supply is high relative to demand (and hence get off-peak rates), and then turn off when grid demand is high. Most peoples' EVs would charge while they're plugged in at work; the few stragglers would charge late at night when everyone's lights are off. Unless you are about to make a cross-country trip overnight, there is no reason to charge an EV during peak hours between 5-9 PM.

That's what GP is alluding to when they say EVs are storage.

Technology for this is already being worked on:

Philosophy never got over Wittgenstein, who had a point that "most philosophical problems aren't real and are just confusion caused by unclear use of terminology". (Most common example on HN: people talking about "artificial general intelligence" without defining "intelligence".)

Analytic (Anglo/UK philosophy) philosophy tries to solve this by being extremely clear about everything to the point of looking like a math paper. This turned out to not work because math can't do that, but it still means there's a lot of specific -isms.

Continental (French/German) philosophy seems to just lean into it and can be nearly unreadable; some of this is translation issues, some people say this is because their points are so deep they can't be expressed in clear language, and some people say this is because French people don't respect philosophers unless they don't understand what they're talking about.

As for what you can do about this - well, maybe you could just ask them what they meant?

The vaccine case is notable. The people who are now prominently decrying vaccines are not the ones who "always believe vaccines are dangerous.

It is a new position, driven by ideological conflict but not based in ideology. There is nothing about their previous beliefs that makes them doubt vaccines in general or this vaccine in particular. It is solely about defending an ego-driven position that those who take COVID seriously are wrong, and everything else about it is post hoc rationalization.

They are entitled to that opinion only in the trivial sense that you cannot compel thought. In every other way it is an absurd position of no merit, not even in defending their own genuine beliefs and values.
Not surprising. I did my thesis on community run broadband networks and the handful of WISPs I studied all had really pitiful offerings (comparatively speaking). Kind of sad, but the writing was on the wall with 4G being generally available in the US.

WISPs are such a cool idea, but I'm glad to see fiber and 5G being rolled out. Not a huge fan of mobile providers gaining bigger market shares but that's the nature of the beast.
You are missing the point. The reason not to tell anyone is there is limited money to be made from arbitage. If someone else finds it they make the money instead of you.

Not telling people you struck gold might be great life advice, but other people knowing you are rich, in and of itself, wont affect the arbitarge opportunity.

Make sure your Cloudflare settings are as aggressive as possible. You might need to upgrade to the first paid level (I think "pro"?) to activate the most aggressive, but it does work very well.

After that, you can throw a CAPTCHA on pages (particularly submission pages), but that will harm legitimate users as well as bots.

Make sure your origin server is only reachable from Cloudflare. If people can hit it directly, then they bypass Cloudflare. If you use firewalld, I wrote this in my setup script that you can use:

for range in $(curl -s -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/ips" | jq -r '.result.ipv4_cidrs[]'); do
for port in 80 443; do
echo "Inserting firewalld rule for address range '${range}' on port '${port}'"
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent \
--add-rich-rule="rule family=\"ipv4\" source address=\"${range}\" port protocol=\"tcp\" port=\"${port}\" accept"
done
done

firewall-cmd --remove-service=http --permanent
firewall-cmd --remove-service=https --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
> Nowadays, we still wait the same amount of time for the initial load, but now your CPU is at 100% parsing megabytes of shitty Javascript, and once the initial load completes, you're still not guaranteed the page won't slow down/overload your CPU again because some stuff can be asynchronously loaded (supposedly for performance reasons, even though doing it on the backend as part of the initial load would be faster in the vast majority of cases).

The new reddit site is fast. Yes initial load time is like 2 seconds, but after that, everything else is instant. Click comments, escape out, go back to feed, load comments of a different story, it is quick.

Yes crappy JS abounds everywhere, NYT is an offender recently (they used to be good!), lots of sites suck in this regard, but when modern web dev is done well, it works really well.

Though having read the Reddit engineering blog posts, they throw a ton of resources at ensuring Reddit is fast.

Meanwhile, Ars Technica loads things almost instantly, but for the last year or two (!!) their article pages have leaked memory and CPU, eventually taking up all my CPU and gigs of memory.

Not sure how even. Great load times, responsive site, keep that background tab open and watch the CPU start to melt down.
No, I'm not qualified. I'm just trying to figure out what the article really had to say.

Scientific PR articles are often deliberately hard to read, especially when some minor improvement is being inflated into a world-changing discovery. They have to be read with a viewpoint of finding what they're not telling you.
This one is describing something that might be important. If they can fab the things and the noise level and lifetime are acceptable.

It's not clear that it gets the same result every time. Analog computers usually don't. But if the number of different levels is small enough, and the results are quantized to a small number of bits after the operation, maybe they can. That's much like the way modems with multiple signal levels work.

Or exact repeatability might not matter. People have proposed error-tolerant computing before.
Devices can be smaller and lower power if the only have to be 99% right. It's enough of a headache that it never caught on. It's hell for debugging. But it might work for ML, which is somewhat noise tolerant.

Things could get strange if this catches on.
Have you looked at `__ulock_wake` versus `os_unfair_lock_with_options`? __ulock_wake is another private darwin API for locking.

From some Zig code:

// Darwin XNU 7195.50.7.100.1 introduced __ulock_wait2 and migrated code paths (notably pthread_cond_t) towards it:
// https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/commit/d4061fb0260b3ed486147341b72468f836ed6c8f#diff-08f993cc40af475663274687b7c326cc6c3031e0db3ac8de7b24624610616be6
//
// This XNU version appears to correspond to 11.0.1:
// https://kernelshaman.blogspot.com/2021/01/building-xnu-for-macos-big-sur-1101.html
//
// ulock_wait() uses 32-bit micro-second timeouts where 0 = INFINITE or no-timeout
// ulock_wait2() uses 64-bit nano-second timeouts (with the same convention)

That's the thing, my grandfather started it and my dad and uncle took it over. My uncle passed years ago due to cancer. So it was just my dad.

My whole life growing up he told me he was making me do all the dirty work for his friends who were in the trades and to drive loader for him so I would go to college and get an office job. He didn't want me to take it over.

My grandfather on the other hand wanted to give me 75k out of highschool in 1997 to start a general contracting company. I'm 43 now and some days sitting in my office, I wish i took my grandfathers advice and did that.

I loved working on computers in the 90s. I was lucky as my mom was a programmer in the late 70s so I always had a computer around the house. That said if one of my kids didn't seem like school was for them I would 100% tell them a good career path is in the trades.

I have a neighbor thats a general contractor and he takes his family on first class flights and staying at night hotels. All because he buys everything on his amex card and takes vacations on points. He lives better then I do and we are about the same age. So ya its a good career option in my opinion.

Better to optimize for happiness? Sure, I can go there.

But the title emphasizes measuring happiness, while pointing out that our measurement of productivity is flawed. But measuring happiness/well-being is going to be far more flawed.

The case for optimizing for happiness and well-being does not depend on our being able to measure it more accurately.
I know it’s anecdotal, but I walked about 15min to elementary school, and then about 5min to high school from 2004-2016. Both schools had a catchment area that was pretty small, so maybe a ⅓ of people walked. This was in Oshawa, a city in southern Ontario Canada.
