It's not crazy at all. Our entire society is built around exploitatively extracting maximum value from each other and that often requires creative marketing to invent want where none existed before.
> You've lost probably more than 10% of your own buying power over the last year at no fault of your own, and you never questioned it. The housing market is now impossible for average people to enter (especially in cities), as easy, low interest money has inflated home values and the house price to income ratio has gone steadily up and to the right.

These are real pain points, and part of why I was very excited about crypto circa 2017-2018. It's been five years now, and the builders in the web3 community seem to have stagnated on this, taking a wide tangent into digital art, online clout, and ponzi schemes. The currencies themselves are limited on transaction throughput and trade like traditional risk assets, level 2 networks haven't lived up to their initial hype, and we have come to find that decentralized, immutable currencies are problematic to work with in many situations.

From my viewpoint, it doesn't look like crypto's going to break us out of the local maximum that is central banking/MMT

> Apple pulled a massive show of force in making ARM license them desktop grade chips. You see, Apple has been a license holder for ARM for a bit now (with the Ax series chips) and makes up, ballpark, 15% of worldwide phones and now >50% of US phones. Apple had already idly said "we could... you know, not use an integrated solution" when they fiddled with Intel's radio baseband.

> For ARM to try and sue Apple for breach of contract for developing the Mx series of desktop class ARM processors and get away with it, they'd be putting their market share dominance in four different major markets at risk.

As I understand, Apple has a special license with a lot more leeway than those held by other companies thanks to Apple having been one of ARM's founders[0], so they may not have had to do any negotiations at all since they had the rights from the get-go.

It's obvious but not easy. Oftentimes commercial spaces don't have a lot of plumbing. They usually just have the one bathroom and kitchen space per floor usually in the middle.

A large office space would need walls and a lot of plumbing work to convert to apartments (and probably a lot more electricity to power multiple kitchens full of appliances).
This is pretty interesting. I'm just imaging a future with inexpensive Windows ARM machines, passively-cooled, and running in most of the offices of your country.

With most of the important Microsoft software already compiled to ARM, and with those kits available to developers to do compile theirs at a competitive price, I won't doubt that future could be possible.
It's only going to get worse. Most companies are in the middle of 5- or 10-year leases, and aren't going to renew.

With this in mind, it still shocks me how the building managers in SF I work with have just gotten worse. They're bitter and mean and have made things so much harder for us (rather than being kinder and doing everything they can to retain us).

My point is that it's not nearly as bad as it's going to be, and there's nothing that makes me think it'll get better.

I really hope they turn a lot of these buildings into housing; we could kill two birds with one stone.

Except of course the very coconut that this effect is named after has long since died: TV and film doesn't use cococnuts for hooves anymore except when warranted, and people aren't weirded out by horse tread sounding like what horses sound like.

The coconut effect exists as a self-reinforcing problem that is easily broken but for people going "but the coconut effect!". Repetition familiarises: if all the games you play start showing period-accurate pigs, then after a few games that force a bit more realism into your experience you stop going "my immersion!" and instead go "oh neat, this is what they looked like in the era this game is set in?" and then immediately move on because you're not here to start a period-accurate pig farming business.

You're conflating price and value. I'm going to repost a comment I made a month ago.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32857769

> It's important to note that price, the last traded price, and value are all distinct concepts. The last traded price is the only one of these we can measure ahead of time, so we often use it as a metanym for these other concepts. ...

> When the oil futures went negative, it wasn't the case that the value of oil was negative - this was about the structure of the market and the sorts of positions people were caught in when the pandemic hit. We continued to consume oil throughout the pandemic, and so I'd say we continued to value it.

> Another example would be, if a rancher has a lot of cow poop, they might pay a farmer to take it away. You could say that the cow poop has a negative price on it. But the farmer is going to make use of it as fertilizer; from the farmer's perspective, this is a commodity that has value.

> It's true though that there are a million theories of value and it's impossible to say what something's value is definitively, you can only make a decision about what is value is to you.

I'd expand that you actually have to define what value means to you, relative to the context in which the discussion is taking place. You'll likely find yourself considering value from different perspectives in different situations; I find myself doing so.
Stagemanager is very nice. I could see a "touchbar" right next to the trackpad. That would be very nice to switch apps
Period accuracy, especially in the context of medieval settings, is championed by a very small-yet-vocal minority of gamers. But it's a essentially a bad faith argument used to criticize the existence of non-white characters in a game.

Basically, 'period accuracy' is to racists what 'ethics in gaming journalism' is to misogynists. But a Venn diagram of these two groups is pretty much just a circle.
Those libraries are open source, just nuke those restrictions and you're good to go. Is it the best way? Maybe not, but it's better than modifying your server responses (and in the worst 1984 case, allowing Elastic to sue you), if you develop such a tool you can always put that distinction in your README.

I agree.

These still don't work. The article and certain hawks say they will do enough to justify the awful cost that has been debated since the idea was born. The first time I heard a discussion about this was on slashdot in 1999. I think it's wishful thinking paired with Defense spending greed. shrug

Hey genuine question : what does being ex-hindu mean to you ?

I'm an Indian Atheist myself, but I never found my move away from Hinduism to be difficult or grating. My parents & community just sort of accepted it and moved on. If I had to be pedantic, I could call myself a Nastik/Charvak Hindu and I would technically be an 'Atheist Hindu'. I did have a "I refuse to do a namaskar or enter temples" Dawkinian emo-phase, but at some point I realized I was fighting against a bogeyman that didn't exist.

My current opinion on the matter, is that Abrahmic conceptions of Atheism do not work in a religion that does not have blasphemy or any single source of truth. So, while a term such as ex-muslim/atheist usually messages a certain ostracization or scientism, being an ex-hindu doesn't immeditely mean anything to me.

To use a favorite HN comment of mine : "If it's hard to tell the difference, it'll be hard to sell the difference".....and I can't tell the difference between a Hindu and an ex-Hindu.

(feel free to ignore it. My comment does seem a little out of place in a festival celebration thread. But, I got curious)
> Pandas is another one.

But at least if I write a transform in pandas it's straightforward to unit test it: create a DataFrame with some dummy data, send it through the function which wraps the transform, test that what comes out is what's expected.

Validating a transform done in SQL is not nearly as straightforward. For starters it needs to be an integration test not a unit test (because you need a database). And that's assuming there's even a way to hook unit tests into your framework.

I'm not a huge fan of Pandas — it's way too prone to silent failure. I've written wrappers around e.g. read_csv which are there to defeat all the magic. But at least I can do that with Python code instead of being stuck with the big-ball-of-SQL (e.g. some complicated view SELECT statement that does a bunch of JOINs, CASE tests and casts).

Yup.

Compare this to Apple's $499 ARM Dev test kit that you could return for a $200 credit.

If Microsoft is serious about ARM, they need a very low barrier of entry for those willing to port their software.
Most of the comments I've seen on HN have been personal opinions or legal questions rather than legal opinions. Copilot may be 100% legal - that doesn't make it 100% ethical (depending on your personal ethics).
Thanks for sharing, really curious to watch the video now. What I’m wondering before I do, though, is whether this isn’t that just an instance of survivorship bias? If there was another winner in the GPU space, you could be sharing video of someone else’s unique perspective, no?

Related, there was a rather interesting episode in the Netflix documentary about gaming industry history (High Score, E4 This is War). The episode is about Sega console and how it succeeded over Nintendo and others. It shows the strategy of the Sega CEO and I’ve wondered since then if the strategy of the CEO was just his genius, luck of the market circumstances, or just survivorship bias.
I learned by reading Haskell Programming from First Principles. Great book which covers most topics you'd need to know in order to write and read Haskell in the wild. Highly recommended
This is a pre-clinical study that is designed to model an aspect of a "traumatic" event and assess how the treatment condition (hydrocortisone) can affect behavior. Moreover, this experiment is designed to probe the effects of trauma in the moments immediately after the traumatic event, where the stress response is initiated. This is likely the period of time where the most synaptic changes occur. Of course, this paper doesn't directly posit that forgetting thoughts associated with trauma is therapeutic, as that would require an empirical study that include patients with PTSD.

Also, the purpose of therapy, such as CBT, is not to fixate on one's current situation, but be able to unlearn feelings of trauma / anxiety from the event. This is done by engaging with a trained professional who can help the patient carefully break down their thoughts and feelings. Reflecting on a traumatic situation with a partner is different from reflecting on a traumatic situation amongst oneself.

To switch to another window, we already had Command-Tab, Mission Control, Expose (now part of Mission Control if I understand correctly), and also clicking on the icons in the Dock. And now we have Stage Manager. I had to use Windows 10 as my main workstation for a few weeks at work, and I'm starting to think windows management is – perhaps – one of the rare things Windows does better than macOS. But of course I should probably try Stage Manager before ranting about it here :)

> Why is stress after trauma a 'disorder'?

It isn't. Sometimes you can experience trauma, then experience stresses, and react to the stress in normal ways.

The disorder is when this doesn't happen, and you have atypical reactions to stress, which can be debilitating.

Apple Music seems always assumes you have good network connectivity.

There was one year I upgraded my phone's iOS at work (probably 2016 or 2017), when heading home that night, the Music app no longer loads but a blank screen, even I have all the iTunes music on device locally.

Later I found that first load of that upgraded Music app has an Apple Music pop up for "free trial", that requires data connection, which my company's garage happen to be a cellular dead spot. Before you dismiss that offer, you cannot even use the Music app.
Ask HN: Free psychological tests, that don't need to be licensed
I'm trying to put together a resource with all the free (as in beer), copyright-free, psychological tests that I can get my hands on. Tests that don't need to be licensed, nor need permission to be available on this resource I'm building.

People will be able to come and do tests as they please, and discover how they score on any of these tests. (This is not a unique idea. There are plenty other sites that exist along similar lines.)

My question for you: if you have experience with this sort of thing, how did you go about figuring out which tests could be used without permission / license? (Due to past bad-experiences with negotiations related to such things, I don't want to bother with tests that need permission / license.).

Thanks in advance.
Apple's ace card is that they bought PA Semi and have a competent team to pull off what Qualcomm apparently can't.
what's the incentive for a chip manufacturer to put out a better ARM chip (eg comparable to the Apple M1)? I don't know that world well, so my best guess is that the margins go to the OS manufacturers, so unless you have guaranteed commitment from MSFT for a given volume, and some sharing of the margin, it's too risky to invest in the R&D to make a better ARM chip. The market for x86 chips is large and known, so for someone like Intel, it makes more sense to invest in the i3/i5 than in a new line of ARM. But that's all speculation - would love to hear the perspective of someone who understands the industry better.
Because sometimes there's no war left to fight but the soldiers still can't return their minds to civilian life. They're disabled, unable to hold down a job reliably, unconfident in their ability to do normal tasks like go grocery shopping without having a debilitating panic attack which causes additional heart damage every time.

There's tons and tons of examples why stress after trauma is a disorder. Also a very good wikipedia article if you'd like a place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_stress_disorder

>The Quest Pro cannot replace your laptop or PC. In fact the Quest actually needs a laptop or PC to WiFi tether into (for VR Desktop), so that it can emulate and stream a (limited number) of host monitors in VR space.

You can either run apps on the device itself or on another machine if you need more compute. The are plenty of web apps and sideloadable android apps that can already be used even on Quest 2.

>The quest Pro isn't reliably portable. On top of this, if your WiFi connection is spotty or simply unavailable, you don't even get to use the device's VR Desktop

When using apps on the device itself this isn't a concern. When good wifi isn't available Meta sells a wifi dongle you can plug into your laptop.

>The Quest Pro offers no true window management. The Quest Pro is only able to emulate (a limited number of) monitors on a host machine. It has no awareness of the individual apps, and doesn't allow you to separate or combine them into your own unique views or workspaces.

There is a window manager, but it isn't that flexible. In the future it could change though. Meta's headsets gain a lot of new functionality with the frequent updates they receive. All of the cons for the Quest Pro except for the PPD can be fixed in a future update down the line and are not hard limitations of the product.
Everyone should read the book (First Blood by David Morrell). I haven't watched the movies, since in my mind Stallone is type-cast as someone who doesn't seem smart enough to play Rambo. But my recollection from 30+ years ago is that the book is an excellent page-turner and might be the originator of the thriller genre. Also, spoiler alert Rambo dies at the end of the book.
Although we attempt to store information in external mediums, it's humans who make the world go round. Funny to think that, in practice, the collective knowledge of mankind is a fuzzy imprecise mess coupled with a few scribbled notes.

The "disorder" is a description of about how it's causing people pain / trouble in their lives. Experiencing something, and processing it, and it having a lasting impact on your life and your thinking isn't by definition disordered. But having it cause problems in your life, e.g. physical touch from people you trust causing panic attacks, that's a disorder.

Forgetting, as a treatment, may be something some people want.

To my eyes your comment is pretty dismissive ("drug people up"). A little empathy, and an open heart goes a long way here.
I think there's a difference between (mediated) constructive reflection with the goal of processing an event, and Repetitive Negative Thoughts (RNT) about an event. The latter can of course have long lasting negative effects.

I think it's probably better to reflect on and process a _potentially_ traumatic event, than it is to repress or otherwise force yourself to forget it. But either of those is preferable to dwelling on it and spiraling in negativity.

Perhaps this is just a matter of degree. For really bad trauma (mass casualty, etc) it's probably good to have stronger tools available.
