The problem I see is my PSVR1 is dusty because I'm bored with it. It was a cool experience and battlezone was fun but maybe 20 hours in and I'm done and its dusty.

The marketing solution to the PSVR1 being boring is "its got more pixels and no backwards compatibility". That message is just not going to sell to upgraders like me. "It costs more" is not going to sell to people who couldn't/wouldn't pay for the PSVR1. So who's supposed to buy this, exactly? People who collect VR headsets is not a large enough market.

The technology reminds me of the wii fit balance board. If you can't have 20 hours of fun with that, there's something wrong with you. Likewise, if you're having more than 20 hours of fun, I have to ask "how?" Its about as many hours of fun as a VR headset, but costs less.
The balance board is just a few years older than VR headsets and nobody sells that type of tech anymore. That is the future of VR headsets.

I think this is a valid HN story in the sense of being an object lesson in how not to sell something technological. Your marketing message needs to be aimed at a market and has to have a message, you can't just leave those two parts out and expect product success.

It's output - they can make 365 engines a year, which is one a day.

Each one could take five years to build for all the title says.

Tesla does not make almost every part. I have talked to multiple Tesla part suppliers and can assure you that Tesla purchases both individual parts and entire subsystems the same way every other automaker does. Tesla has inhoused a couple of components that are typically done by specialized companies, such as their seats.

As a “maintainer” of an open source project with a corporate backer/owner, I sympathize with Google. Changing anything, even an “obvious” bug fix, is a lot of work: are there tests? Do existing tests need fixing? How will this affect all existing users who may now rely on the buggy behavior? Are docs updated? Are there any legal/provenance/attribution concerns? Does this effect any internal issues or goals? Were there plans to approach the problem a different way? Is this bug worth my limited time to answer all of these questions or could I have a higher impact delivering something else?

None of this is insurmountable, but I do think it explains the effort it takes to merge even a one line bug fix.

At the end of the day Go is the most stable language I’ve worked with in my entire career. It’s far from perfect, but it’s unbelievable how stable it is. In 6 years of working on nomad I can count the times an upgrade caused a regression in nomad on one hand, and nomad uses a lot of Go. Coming from Java and Python (and the MS ecosystem before that) this is unreal. We just never updated Java at a previous job. Python upgrades were significant time investments and never were completed without regressions.

While it would be nice to have this level of stability without googles heavy hand bureaucracy, I can’t think of an example of that happening.

I think a lot of folks at Google who work on Go are trying to improve this situation, but it’s harder than any technical problem.
Give some to ULA just to taunt Bezos? But seriously, I'm not sure why they aren't looking to sell them to other US rocket companies.
You don't, but that only really applies to this:

>It seems unlikely that it will ever completely solve the problem, and therefore, an entirely different approach will be needed to modeling protein folding that encompasses the entire field, edge cases and all (a quite lofty goal that may also never be reached).

Of course I'm fallible, but it doesn't change the fact that right now, this is the case - AlphaFold teaches us essentially nothing about how proteins are actually folding, and instead is solving for the folded state. If someone can backtrack from there, I'll be nothing but ecstatic.
Could it be that you have a different openssl in your PATH shadowing the system one? Because I could have sworn macOS 12 also used LibreSSL.
Mark Russinovich (of Sysinternals fame), thinks Rust should be the non-GC language of choice moving forward.

Go is popular for the same reason Scala is not. You’re encouraged to crank out a lot of ugly repetitive code because the language is so minimal you aren’t expected to learn a cleaner built-in solution (because there isn’t one).

Go’s memory footprint is also quite a bit better than Java, at least until value types land. .NET doesn’t seem to have a lot of traction; I’ve been meaning to reevaluate its improved Linux story but haven’t yet.
This is incredible! I've sent it to several people already. Is there any chance you could provide more details as to the tech stack / training / technical setup?
Nah, they definitely overreacted to a reasonable request. Different languages, different cultures and different groups will have different words they consider as slurs or not acceptable.

Then there are edge cases like history forums where they have a valid use case for posting transcriptions with words that are currently deemed not appropriate.

Their response can drive possible adopters away because they could only think in US centric politics.
The way I'd go about this is probably starting a VM, installing the package and seeing what in the filesystem is affected by it rather than trying to do static analysis (which becomes a cat and mouse game as detection heuristics improve so do the stealth heuristics).

The attack surface area is too big when random python code is executed, which is the case for `setup.py`, but even if there wasn't code executed there, as soon as you import the package and use it, you'd have the same issue.
Been eating it all my life. On the farm we always had half a steer in the freezer, and a big part of that was beef bacon. More meat, more body.

> Real inflation seems to be due to price gouging by companies

A IGM poll of ~100 of the world's leading economists pretty thoroughly show that your belief is very, very far to the fringe, more so than just about any other topic. [1]

They answer the "A significant factor behind today’s higher US inflation is dominant corporations in uncompetitive markets taking advantage of their market power to raise prices in order to increase their profit margins." with 2% strongly agree (with 3% confidence in this answer), 5% agree (7% confidence), 19% uncertain (12% confidence), 51% disagree (52% confidence), 16% strongly disagree (27% confidence), and 7% of no opinion or did not answer.

As to economic questions posed to this forum, this one is pretty slam dunk to the side opposite your claim.

Reich is about as far to the fringe of economists you can find. Try reading more widely. This forum is a much better place to get information about economics than opinion pieces in papers vying for views.

Real reasons for inflation: trillions were added to keep people afloat during COVID, and prices have gone up due to supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine.

If companies could simply raise prices willy-nilly, they'd have done it already.

I don't know. Authors that get big enough to ignore their editors can produce some pretty awful work. The role of editor has value.
Judging by the fact that the price dropped from $20 to $8 after a brief negotiation with Stephen King, I imagine there is more wiggle-room to bring it down further.
Could you please share some resources/tactics for protecting your host machine from these development VMs? If I were to do this, I would want some assurances (never 100%) that my host is protected from the VM to the best of my ability.

There was an armistice. The wars I listed are one's where the US is currently dedicating resources (e.g. drones) to an armed conflict.
There's not a huge number of datapoints yet, but there are several Falcon 9 boosters that have flown >10 times (including two that have flown 14 times.) I'm quite confident in Super Heavy at least handily exceeding 10 flights MTBF.
> Elon has said that his motivation is to make humanity a multi planetary species thereby lowering the risk of extinction (asteroid impact, nuclear war, pandemic, biological warfare, catastrophic climate change, what have you).

None of those will leave the Earth even a millionth as inhospitable to life as Mars already is - so this motivation makes no logical sense.

Not to mention, with anything resembling current technology, any Mars colony will be highly dependent on Earth for a good few hundred years - there is no way to bootstrap a fully functioning high tech economy any quicker than that, and life on Mars would depend critically on the highest of high-tech (there is no way to live on Mars without computers, for example - so you would need to be able to build, supply and man advanced chip fabs on Mars before you could have a self-sufficient colony).

It also can't be forgotten that there is no proof that a human population can survive on Mars at all, given our current technology. For example, we have no way of knowing yet if humans could successfully reproduce and bear children healthy enough to reproduce themselves in such a low-G environment. We may require genetic engineering to actually be able to live on Mars (or at least human settlements might require huge centrifuges of some kind simulating high-G, which is way beyond our current abilities to do on a planet, or at least increases the costs thousand-fold).
The interesting question to ask is whether these Rust rewrites are really taking advantage of cache optimization or if they are making simplifying assumptions that the canonical implementation cannot. In the latter case, Rust isn't the root of the performance difference and a JS rewrite can make most of those simplifying assumptions
Laws of supply and demand work very differently when dealing with monopolies/consolidated industries and inelastic goods. Laws of supply and demand only work "how they're supposed to" with either perfect competition or perfect elasticity. So yeah, people don't like that companies are getting away with destroying competition so they can jack up their prices.
I guess we just disagree on the definition of clickbait. I understand your definition and I see the logic, but with your definition I would say you can't claim clickbait is inherently "bad". If you use my definition, I think you can. shrug Good luck out there. :)
I declare your comment to be high quality BS.

First of all I never said C++ was going anywhere. I compared it to COBOL which is still estimated to be involved something on the order of 60-80% of financial transactions. C++ has a similarly bright future.

But secondly, your claim is wildly overstated. C++ is a lot less fundamental and essential than you think.

Operating systems:

Linux and the *BSD family are written in C, with Rust making some headway. (But C++ would be over Torvalds' dead body - see http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus for example.) OS X is written in a combination of C and Objective C. Android is written in C and Java. Windows has a lot of C++, but the kernel is straight C for reasons that Raymond Chen explains at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/one-dev-minute/one-d....

Not only are not all operating systems written in C++, but most of the most successful ones aren't. And multiple groups, INCLUDING ones otherwise sympathetic to C++, have concluded that C++ is a terrible choice for kernels that are close to the hardware.

Compilers.

Well GCC is written in C. (Though Clang is C++.) So are the interpreters for Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP. One of the backends for Go was originally C but has been ported to Go. (They maintain another C++ backend.) Julia's backend is mostly C. (A few libraries are C++.) However JavaScript and Java are both written in C++.

Reality is a long, long ways from your claim that almost all compilers for every other language are written in C++. In fact straight C is a more popular choice.

You didn't talk about GUI applications. But there you'd have more of a point - C++ is far more popular there. However even that it isn't a slam dunk. Rust was explicitly developed as a response to the fact that C++ makes security very hard. The idea being that it would be easier for Mozilla to port security critical modules from C++ to Rust than to secure C++. Since security is getting ever more important, it now makes sense to write in a different language first.
Meta built an amazing, affordable product, but their brand is just so toxic that it’ll take a generational change before it can eventually recover its good will and people in developed countries trust it again.

It's not their brand per se that's the issue, but the fact that their headsets were bricks unless you had signed up for a Facebook account with all the issues that come with that, from privacy concerns to getting locked out seemingly on a whim: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/j22lmx/im_out_...

The response from Meta still leaves a lot to be desired: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/07/quest-vr-has-traded-f...

Less important than Meta rehabbing their brand image would be them actually putting a stop to their user hostile behavior.
imho the whole thing about FP it's not about a objectively superior way of coding, but a way of coding that's better suited to the current high level, highly distributed world.

There are A LOT of developers, a lot of custom made software and a lot of web applications. And unless you really need performance, most web services are an ideal use case for FP practices. Even if you do it in plain Javascript.

Some people are zealots about it, yes. But imho FP is a better way to trickle down those concepts instead of telling people to spend decades to become imperative code masters.
I've definitely experienced big crowd events where friends with me on T-Mobile on similar generation phones had plenty of network performance available to even stream video while my phone on Mint could barely load a webpage.

Yes, you're plainly wrong. All Starlink customers may point to why.

It also prompts to make an account (and won't respond to the demo submit request) after what, 3 tries on the demo? This not really enough to determine whether it has the horsepower to do anything significant. Requiring signup to do even basic exploration of capability turns me away.

As an American this constant China fear-mongering feels so out of place; it's like trying to plug the Titanic with your fingers. Historically China has been one of the most important financial centers in the world; this is just a regression to the mean. Why are we trying to stop it when the Chinese clearly want to collaborate with us.

The train's leaving the station without us. There's a political, multipolar, realignment between the Global South, i.e. the non 'golden billion', and Eurasia - and we're not playing a leading role when we should be.

> I've worked in some big Rails/Ruby code bases and usually any mess was the result of someone who didn't know the language writing a bunch of code alone with little to no code review or guidance.

This! 100% This is why code review and strict linters( i.e. Rubocop) are an absolute must for any large ruby code base.
> - It feels like it is implying China has the moral upper hand. The same country who takes US invented products and sells them 10x cheaper under a different brand, violating international intellectual property laws. Buy Spot for $75k or Weilan's Alpha Dog or Unitree's Go for $2.5k?

This is right out of the USA playbook from the the late 1700s.

<< Under the Patent Act of 1793, the United States barred foreign inventors from receiving patents at the same time as granting patents to Americans who had pirated technology from other countries. “America thus became, by national policy and legislative act, the world’s premier legal sanctuary for industrial pirates. Any American could bring a foreign innovation to the United States and commercialize the idea, all with total legal immunity.” >> [0]

A cash-out refinance (what people would most commonly do in this circumstance) is just a regular refinance, so terms could be anything a refinance can have. Usually fixed rate 30yr.

A reverse mortgage is a different thing, IMO always a bad deal but I guess could be ok in some cases.

I don't see how this is a rebuttal to the claim. 636,975 is more than 2x 304,526, so assuming the quoted paragraph is correct, sucrase is still the highest-throughput transpiler even during its warm-up phase. Probably this isn't true for the first 100 milliseconds of execution during the very first warm-up stages, but if the transpile phase is that short, it's basically irrelevant anyway.
You can't mention oil prices without mentioning the U.S. SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) releases (around ~250M barrels released this year, around 1/3 of the total reserve):

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=M...

Without those, the price of crude oil would likely be higher than it is at the moment (although hard to say how much higher). The fact that China is still pursuing a COVID-0 policy has also helped keep global demand depressed - but we can't rely on that indefinitely.

macroeconomics is complex, but at least this part is not that complex. in monetary policy there's one lever, the money supply expansion rate.

as long as there's a sufficiently large part of the economy infused with debt (banks rolling over short term debts, large companies using credit to fund payroll, any new investment compared to "risk free rate" of central banks, etc) the lever has some effect.

of course it's a blunt instrument. fiscal policy is needed to pick up the slack. but that's mostly bludgeoned to death long ago by polarization of politics.

The monthly pass seems to be priced at 32 * (max cost/ride), so that for $160 you could take as many $5 or less trips as you liked within the month. But most people are taking at most two rides per day, so that practically speaking this is about a 50% discount.

Because we only care about resources to the extent that they are useful to us, and by definition we are down here and not up there.

Now, it's important to note that there are some wonderful research insights that could be gleaned by landing things on Mars, and also perhaps by using martian resources to launch things further away from Earth. None of these require 1000 rockets landing on Mars though.

I have a unique background; I was a software engineer at early stage startups for a few years. Then, I went to law school and have ben working as a lawyer in biglaw for a year while working on a legal tech startup. We are winding down the startup now, unfortunately, but it's been a good experience that taught me a lot, and was also among the more complicated things I have worked on as a software engineer, and exposed me to a lot of new engineering concepts (our app is a collaborative IDE for lawyers).

I am interested in learning NLP and ML stuff, and plan on doing some side projects in these areas (directed at legal applications) while I look for a job.

That being said, I am open to a wide variety of work and offers, and I think my eclectic background and wide variety of skills is a plus.

Tokyo doesn't need to push for any military basing concessions. They have full control over where the US military is allowed.

The contentious bit is that local authorities don't have control over this and are overridden by Tokyo. But that's an internal matter.
Dispensing with causation is a very convenient approach indeed. In doing so I could say "higher concentrations of melanin pigmentation is involved with higher arrest rates in the US for homicide." If questioned I will be extra certain to make it clear I don't think being black makes you commit more crime, and totally didn't mean to imply anything close to that.
