Is it? It feels like something is broken. The government spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on health related expenses. They should be investing aggressively so that a trillion dollars in health related expense aren't needed forever. It seems totally unsustainable. The US is going to need cheaper, more effective health care to keep Medicare/Medicaid/VA Hospital programs solvent.
Even midwife systems often end up with a "ball of midwives" where you may not even know who you're going to get, and then they go off the clock at 6 PM and someone new steps in.

Everything is a cost/benefit/availability tradeoff, and time is just one of the many variables that are being juggled.

Of course, if you have money to throw at the problem you can reduce the other issues.
Picture two white collar professionals sitting at a bar, clinking their glasses to celebrate college debt relief, inches away from the blue collar bartender whose taxes will pay for that relief.

I agree I don't think it's fair to "hate" on the college-indebted, but I can also see an element of unfairness to debt relief and can understand why someone like that bartender would not be so happy about it.

The point of Windows 11 isn't to provide new features to the end user, it's to establish "security" (read: DRM) APIs as a core part of the OS and ensure they are guaranteed to be available as a baseline feature on every Windows 11 machine, something Microsoft could not do simply by releasing a Windows 10 update due to the TPM hardware requirement. The end goal is to enable developers, including Microsoft themselves, to ship software that can refuse to run if you installed a driver not blessed by Microsoft or have otherwise tampered with the OS.

And yes, many companies definitely want this. Some anti-cheat solutions have already jumped on the remote attestation bandwagon and make use of the TPM when running on Windows 11, with Windows 10 being temporarily exempt from the requirement (not unlike what happened with SafetyNet and the "basic" attestation fallback/loophole). It's only a matter of time until Windows 10 is left behind and everything starts requiring remote attestation. After all the McDonald's Android app requires SafetyNet, so why shouldn't <insert expensive software suite here> also make sure you are not having too much fun with it?
Hydralox is worst of both worlds. To get out of gravity well thrust/weight is key, and Raptor is king at that. In deep space ISP is key, and ion thrusters are way more efficient than hydrolox at that. People don't realize that SpaceX is perhaps the world's largest manufacturer of ion thrusters since they use them on Starlink.
That's duplicating part of the structure. That uses more memory than just modifying a value in-place, but less than duplicating the whole tree.
Like the HN commenters?
It's only ugly because it was meant to be a federation of different programming paradigms. You can mix low level C calls with homegrown RAII frameworks, or mix traditional OOP with functional programming. Once you start throwing in preprocessor macros, meta programming, and templates, you can have a codebase that is incredibly complex to understand and maintain.

As for the header/implementation separation, I always thought it was a good idea to have that flexibility. I've worked in codebases where the compilation units were fairly large and complex and would be implemented in separate files. This would be similar to partials in C# I've also worked with some code that would determine the target compilation units at build time. Not saying it was the best approach at the time, but it was one option.

If anything scares off people from C++, it would definitely be the breadth of the language, though. You could work in C++ for over ten years and possibly not even encounter or use half of the functionality it provides. And because of it's breadth, going from one C++ codebase to another could look completely different. Especially when looking at something written for a Unix/Linux/Posix system vs Windows.

I am currently recovering from extreme work-related burnout. Also got diagnosed with ADHD while taking time off.

What helped was having enough money for a therapist, enough freedom to reduce my life to the bare minimum, and enough money to take a year long sabbatical away from work. I'm 13 months in and there starts to be some light at the end of the tunnel.

I don't want to think what would have been of me if I hadn't had that money saved.

Burnout is hell, we do not take it seriously enough, and it destroys people. It takes years to recover from, and that is not hyperbole.

Hit me up if you wanna chat about it, email in my profile. I've had excellent chats with people about ADHD, I am starting to really enjoy connecting with other humans about mental health.
Yes, I dropped Verizon for T-Mobile partly due to issues. I also think this is related to 5G rollout, because on both providers I get better service quality by disabling 5G on my phone and reverting to LTE.
I bought the first PSVR.

I wanted to love VR but it made me so sick that I literally get nauseous when I even think about using it.

All my interest in VR finished at that point which is a real pity cause it felt exciting initially.

Anyone want to buy a PSVR? Used for about 2 hours total.

I filed a grievance when the medical professionals performed care on me against my (fully conscious and alert) consent, without a warrant, and without a court order nor arrest -- at the direction of a federal officer who had me "detained" but not "arrested" because there was no probable cause of a crime.

That’s more of a civil battery (and possibly also federal civil rights) lawsuit than a professional complaint situation.

I still have one in my car, despite the car having built-in map navigation.

The car does not let you change anything with the navigation if the car is in motion, apparently they've never heard of passengers.

It doesn't help that map upgrades are ferociously expensive, around a hundred dollars.
Hah, no it's not, I don't even have the phone app on my home screen unless I search for it.
It sounds like you have issues with the search engine, not maps.

Other open source projects at Google have struggled with similar issues, with respect to balancing reviewing contributions with their own goals. It may be a one-line change, but the overhead is often similar to something more substantial due to the need to make sure it doesn't break Google's proprietary code.
And that’s exactly the plan for SpaceX, a whole fleet of Starships. Mentioned by SpaceX and Elon Musk.

My first thought before clicking through to read the article was: This is about the torture of using automated receptionist systems.

It was bad enough when you had to go through a wall of numbers. Now, with speech recognition, it is probably ten times worse: "In a few words, tell me what...". I am so sick of it I usually end-up saying something like "attendant" or "real person" repeatedly until the thing drops down to the last "else:" statement and connects me to a person.

As far as some of what the article covers, this is one of the reasons for which I still use wired earbuds. The wires have never been a problem. I just don't want to deal with the nonsense. For example, I was watching a movie in bed on my iPad one night. The wireless earbuds disconnected and sound came blasting out, waking my wife.

In addition to this, CarPlay implementations just seem awful. Not sure if this is on Apple, the radio manufacturer, the car maker or a combination. Just yesterday, my 2020 car simply refused to connect to my iPhone X no matter what I did. Most of the time it works fine. Yesterday, I could not get CarPlay to come up if my life depended on it.

The ability of language models to do zero-shot tasks like this is cool and all, but there is no way you should actually be doing something like this on data you care about.

This might be true for embedded C++ programmers, but it's not true at FAANG or finance companies, which accounts for a lot of C++ programmers. I'm in San Francisco and I wrote mostly Python/Go at web companies for the first 10 or so years of my career, and write C++ at a FAANG now. I'm getting paid significantly more now than I was before. At my previous job where I was writing C++ I was making $286k in cash ($220k base salary + 30% bonus target) plus generous stock compensation. Most people writing Python, Javascript, or Ruby are not getting paid that much in cash even if they're working at a unicorn startup in SF.
You could erase one of the mechanisms by making America a place where you can walk to a party or a bar, instead of driving there and then killing yourself with your car afterwards.

> Miners don’t want to sell their freshly mined bitcoins, as this would risk crashing the price of bitcoin — so instead, they borrow against the bitcoins, and against their rigs, too!

Is that really true? Maybe for a large enough miner, but small miners aren't going to crash the price by selling. And if they knew it would crash, couldn't they just short the market before selling?
Tax usually ends up being 15 to 20 percent so it will probably be a wash. Online agent can tell you the exact price.
Ask HN: Why can’t my iPod case charge my iPhone?
I use a MagSafe charger with my iPhone and find it convenient. But it is expensive so I can’t justify buying more than one.

I wonder what some of the technical challenges would be for using the inductor coils in peer devices to charge one another- specifically the iPod case would be a useful option to me.

Is there an asymmetrical relationship between the coils of the MagSafe charger and the devices, or is the only difference that the MagSafe has stronger magnets in it for alignment?

~

I look forward to insightful comments of all sorts - including speculation about Apple’s business practices, marketing, profit strategies. I am also curious how other manufacturers deal with charging issues. My request is that we limit cynical comments about Apple price gouging, etc. Not that I think that opinion is wrong but I would like insightful or detailed commenters to be rewarded and not drowned out by a flood of opinion comments.
Good to know that what I said was accurate. Thanks for confirming!
> in pure FP either lookup or insert can be no better than O(log(n))

For single operations, yes. But what we really care about is usually the amortized performance over many operations, which can still be constant time.
I'm still using Win7 Pro for most things. The pc is a dual-boot with Win10 Pro the other OS. I use Win10 Pro when I do GIS or geophysical stuff that is only licensed for that OS. I have a lot of legacy software that runs on Win10 or better but was purchased before those were options. I prefer the interface over any of that 10 or 11 bullshit.

My main workstation is a 2008 Dell T5400 that is trying to die. The mobo has a couple dead RAM slots and a dead PCIe slot. Whenever it powers down it is difficult to get it to reboot since it fails in POST due to some issue that is always resolved by removing the cover and blowing all the dust out of the case, even if there is only a small amount. I think the thing just appreciates an occasional blow job. LOL

I do have another machine waiting to take over that has Win10 Pro and PopOs on it and if I have to I can fall back to my other workstation, a Dell T7500 with CentOS7 and Ubuntu xxx on it. It's a power hog though with those Xeons so I leave it off most of the time.

I have so far managed to avoid upgrading any of my family's devices to Win11. They all run Win10 Pro right now AFAIK. I don't like Win10 but, like my old Windows phone which I just replaced a couple months ago (iPhone 12), I will probably migrate to that over the next couple of years.

I'll watch posts here on HN to keep me informed about all the suck.
I think many countries were successful in reducing the popularity of smoking cigarettes and if I'm not mistaken a big part of that was to ban advertising. As with cigarettes, we do know that alcohol is addictive and destructive. An advertising ban might be a good first step.
As an insider to both fields (and specifically their juncture to molecular dynamics).

What you are discussing is of course being studied but the problem is that it is a lot more computationally expensive. We do have simulations of simple (read very small) proteins folding and unfolding but for larger ones the computational time to watch them fold can be gigantic, if not impossible due to the fact that proteins often fold as they are being made. Which means including a much larger process into a folding one which just further stresses computational resources.

This computational problem is so enormous that a company at the cutting edge of research D.E. Shaw built a specialized computer solely for simulating proteins. Also most of the software used for this until recently had abandoned multi-GPU paralellism because it didn't scale well. The pandemic caused the need to simulate the virus on the entirety of Summit and introduced some work back into that route but it is still specialized (and wouldn't help for systems below a certain size anyways).

Also my previous points have been for atomic models (e.g. we treat everything more like newtonian particles and ignore quantum effects) some things definitely need more resolution and at that level you are lucky to see protein fluctuations let alone folding.
It is unacceptable but I wonder if Microsoft now should prioritize a future new OS cutting the monstruous legacy aspects of Windows.

Since few devices will run Windows 11 and big organizations will be forced to spend more in their "modernization" projects it can be time to cut the umbilical cord to the past (e.g. Win32).
Yes what you are referring to is implemented already by Google and probably others. The Google camera uses it to skip demosaicking by shifting the image by a pixel using OIS. Still the original post was under the impression that hundreds of exposures are merged which is just not the case
The best solution to a situation like that would be to block the road on one side (or in the middle) so you can't drive through it. Minor inconvenience for people who live there, but also a major quality of live improvement if you have no through traffic at all.
I used to program in Erlang. The joy of it doesn't lie in FP. Not even closely.

It's in the runtime, effortless processes etc.

If all you can offer is "joy of programming in FP", you're in a cult.
The "free market" is just a tool, nothing more. The second it starts to interfere with the livelihood or your country or the health and welbeing of its citizens, governments are well within their bounds to step in and interrupt this "free market".

The wisdom and second order effects of those policies is a secondary discussion.

It does, though there should be optimized ways to do that if it's message passing and not object passing.

Can you don that on MacOS? Because the "new Windows" is now designed by Mac users[1] internally in Microsoft and they are seemingly trying to make everything Mac-y.

Nothing in there on what the involvement was, so not at all useful. Drunk driver killed self or othere? Drunk domestic partner did the killing? Drunk and killed by police for acting out? Health problems? Died because caregiver was drunk? Simply had alcohol in the system at the time of death (but also perhaps meat, sugar, nicotine, etc.)?

I don't dispute that alcohol causes acute and chronic problems. But "involved" is just too vague.

> Understood what it was but either didn't have a CPU with a built-in TPM, which is a fairly recent feature, or didn't have a motherboard with a TPM socket.

I'm definitely in the latter. I was running an insider's build of Win11 on my home desktop for quite a while just fine, until they seemed to have actually made the TPM a hard requirement, and I rolled back to Win10. It's a shame because it's an 8 year old beefy PC that otherwise runs perfectly fine and I didn't have any issues with Win11 otherwise on it.
I love my electric guitar.
it's crazy because there isn't much evidence of demand induced inflation

There are two fundamental components to inflation. Supply and demand. The mere fact that we have inflation means that either supply is too low or demand is too high.

Your statement seems to be saying, "there is evidence that 100% of the inflation we are experiencing is from supply side".

That obviously isn't true.

Meanwhile, real wages, which have been fairly stagnant compared to profits over the last decades, are now down.

In the U.S., this is meaningless because at the low-salary end we had direct stimulus and tax rebates. In the mid salary end we had direct stimulus, tax rebates and modest asset (home/stock) appreciation. In the high salary end we had PPP loans (direct stimulus on steroids) and huge asset appreciation.

All of this leads to more money available which increases demand.

Near me, beach rentals have gotten up to $25,000 per week for a house. A ridiculous sum of money to stay at a house for a week! But if you're "making" $25,000 per month in the stock market? Doesn't seem so crazy anymore and it's why rentals have gotten up that high.
I hear you, we're fixing it right now.

That sucks. Maybe I'm just lucky then. Possibly it depends on the carrier?
Vive owner here too.

I understand the sentiment, the price does push this into what I'd call "prosumer" category. But... PSVR2 is the first headset to really catch my interest. The Valve Index sounded nice, but I was disappointed in the lack of OLED especially given the Index's price. The PSVR2 is what I've been looking for in new hardware and I think it's a step in the right direction.
Likewise. Half the spammers hang up the moment I activate call screening, the other half (probably automated) keep talking and then I hit the spam button. All the (marginal) benefit of saying "take me off your spam list", far less trouble.
