This is by far the most professional and awesome post here! Love the way you handle your business and your craft, you Sir/Madame are a true maker. Every detail of this short message is useful, on-point and clear af. This is on a whole other level, it doesnt even need listings of programming languages and nerdy tools.

Everyone please take this as a beautiful example on how to sell your coding skills (and make sure you can work on wonderful greenfield projects). I'd hire this gentle(wo)man for every single project, without even seeing a resume or having a talk about programming languages. This is how good sales pitches are done.
I am somewhat curious what the (MRE-like???) pre packaged/factory-sealed Chinese astronaut food looks like, in its containers and when prepared for eating. And what the variety of the menu is.
A lot of methane comes from animals. See here: https://www.iea.org/reports/methane-tracker-2020

If you care about this, you should stop eating meat, or reduce your meat consumption.
I dumped Prime this year and aren't missing it. Prime video is meh. It's just better to rent what I want to see. Also,I live close enough to a shopping center where it's faster to just go there and get what I need.

You mean supplying a concert grand at the venue. Very, very few pianists can afford to do what Gould did, namely, bring it with him.
Nonetheless, if they choose to be an aerospace engineer, they've chosen not to be, for example, a surgeon, or whatever else.
Presumably there is a great deal more domestic PR in Mandarin and Cantonese in the state run media like the Peoples' Daily and Xinhua.

Technology has come a long way. Pianoteq is amazing. The Kawai VPC1 was a pleasure to use when paired with nice monitors and a sub.

But, in addition to the sound (like half-pedaling), I'm talking about the actual feel. A digital piano's pedal will always feel like a buttery spring. On an acoustic, you can feel the vibrations, the felts, the engagement of the dampers, etc. in your foot.

It's really minor, because a great pianist can do fine with these very good digitals, but you lose a sense of "one-ness" with the instrument.
>It's a bit like saying we can't stop music piracy, now that Napster exists.

perfect example, as piracy has _never_ been effectively stopped and _never_ will be effectively stopped by legislative means
The fact that this rule is now seen as optional is, IMHO, a genuinely bad sign for the health of the Hacker News community.

Her style isn't original and unique to her from the art world perspective. There are dozens of people who draw exactly like this, and hundreds who can draw like it and just choose not to. This is not a criticism against her personally - it's practically impossible to have a truly unique style in this world with millions of other artists.

The fact that pictures in that style can be meaningfully described by her brand is only a result of the success of her personal branding effort. She kept a consistent style, she promoted her work, established a website, personal portfolio, publicised her career. She didn't invent this style, but made an effort to claim it as hers. This is a regular path for an artist. It didn't just happen to her like a robbery against her will - it took years of effort for her to establish her name like that in the public consciousness, culture and search engines. Stable Diffusion just builds out of those things.

If this artist didn't exist, the style would still exist in works of other artists. It just wouldn't have this useful tag of her name. We would have to put something like Modern-colorful-flat-vector-cute-disney-textured-cartoon-illustration to get the same results. But since she claimed this style as hers, we can just use her name to effectively describe it. I don't see it as a tragedy, I see it as a success story.
There's a certain logic for that but buying a luxury truck means you're paying a LOT more — like enough to buy one or even two additional new cars for every trip you don't need a truck for — and you're paying for a bunch of expensive stuff which is less durable for the times when you do need to use it as a work truck.

If I'm moving, I can rent a truck from Home Depot which has a considerably larger bed for well under one percent of the extra cost of buying a super-sized truck. If I move less frequently than every day for a year, I'm still ahead by tens of thousands of dollars even before you consider how much extra I'd be paying to burn more fuel, which costs more per gallon, for every trip where I'm not doing something which needs that much towing capacity. You can pay a moving company to move your stuff multiple times a year, save tens of thousands of dollars, and not even have to pack your stuff.

It is somewhat deceptive framing, because methane can not accumulate in the atmosphere the way CO2 does. Its levels in the atmosphere will break down relatively quickly if we reduce output, unlike CO2. But the present level of methane in the atmosphere basically captures about 30% as much heat as the present level of CO2. That still leaves CO2 as significantly larger immediate problem and the much larger future problem.
We must do what we can, observing that every little counts - a little, and every lot counts a lot.
That isn't how verification currently works and I can't imagine that is how Twitter would want it to work in the future. People change their display name all the time on Twitter and can even change their username. Plus Facebook has already shown that real name policies are hard and can cause user pushback and that was with a community that already is more lined up with our real life identities. Pseudonymous accounts are a huge part of Twitter.
I suspect the other option here is to just ask. “We’re getting to know each other. Do you think we could sit in the booth in the corner over there?”
Those over 50M jackpots should be divided between n=jackpot/50M winners. (Keep picking matching numbers out of the pool of sold tickets.) That'd keep things more interesting.

I'm sorry. Let me throw out the hypotheticals in my head and these are not based on any real situation.

1. What if a small Eastern European country created a large nuclear reactor but didn't care about safety meaning that the probability of a meltdown that would effect Europe was X percentage. At what value of X is it acceptable to invade assuming all other methods of persuasion have been attempted.

2. If a country is polluting Y amounts of something that increases global warming by X and all methods of persuasion have stopped is invasion ever justified at some values of X and Y. You are considering the probability of and level of suffering of two events.

A. The invasion
B. The suffering caused by environmental damage.

There has to be some conditions in which it is morally justified to invade a country

The companies that pay artists' salaries won't be willing to secretly break the law to save money.

Microsoft won't legally be able to continue its abuse of GitHub. Copilot will be dead. OpenAI and Stability will not legally be able to profit from large-scale intellectual property theft. All these violations will end.

These are the most significant digits. The residual amateur piracy doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if random guy gets some leet neural net warez and uses it to make his desktop wallpaper.
One answer might simply be because they can. YC companies are the only ones allowed to advertise job postings by post instead of once a month in the thread and some are more diligent about using this benefit than others. Doesn’t necessarily say much about the dev position as it does about the person in charge of HR.
The concept of some big tech company having your first name, last name, email address and phone number just because one of your friends or acquaintances or casual business contacts was dumb enough to click "yes, I agree" and share the entire contents of their address book needs to have a full stop put to it. By law if necessary.

This is the same thing as when people install the LinkedIn app on their phone and allow it to trawl through their entire contacts list. Even if you have no relationship with LinkedIn at all and refuse to use on general principles, surprise, now they know who you are.

sufficiently advanced or trick-the-user FAANG data privacy violation methods are indistinguishable from scams.
A connecting line there means that that the data from that memory location can be stored in that cache line. In the fully associative cache any memory location can use any cache line. In the direct-mapped cache each memory location has one designated cache line it must use (but each cache line has multiple main memory locations associated with it).
what are the things it is good at?
Twitter, Facebook, most social media are a matter of a post, and ratings.

That was exactly my point. The employers for shitty jobs need to make sure the people they hire care a bare minimum amount or else they'll just leave without notice at the slightest inconvenience.

Could you describe some of the research?
anywhere or nowhere else. do you think tweeting is really an essential part of Stephen King's professional or personal life? he could just stop.

he's a famous author. he's got a website, a publisher with an advertising budget, and other social media channels. his audience will follow him. he can post on facebook, his mailing list, his own website, or none of the above.
The direct mapped cache graph is just showing that each cache line is mapped to multiple addresses.

So in that direct mapped example blocks 0, 64, and 256 are all mapped to cache line 0, and you can only have one of them in cache at any given moment. If block 0 is in cache and block 256 gets accessed, block 0 will be evicted from cache because block 256 will replace it in cache line 0.
> I’m not sure how making a small number of cars for the ultra rich is “slippage” it sounds like value for specific buyers.

Because the rich can pay a huge amount for a marginal increase in usefulness. So you can increase prices more by delivering the same amount of value for the rich than for the non-rich.

> if they’re happy that’s value, if it’s for something you put no value on

And if they're not happy, just numb? An addict will pay to get their fix but it doesn't make them happy, and even they themselves would tell you there's no value or usefulness in it.

> And clearly people buy green cars.

Some people buy cars that are marketed as green, sure. You only have to look at the increasing pedestrian fatality rates in the US to see that there's some kind of market failure going on.

Steinway has their "Steinway Artist" program [0]. Many top pianists elect to be a part of
it if only so they can ensure a good Steinway to be available at almost any venue they go to.

Other manufacturers have similar programs, but their inventory isn't as widespread or predictable.

Some pianists like Herbie Hancock or Angela Hewitt elect to fly their piano with them everywhere. (They both happen to have Fazioli pianos.)

> I almost always leave with the impression that the designers did the “right thing”. I suppose this is in contrast to Java, which does the pedantic thing, Perl, which does the kludgy thing, Ruby, which has two independent implementations of the wrong thing, and C, which doesn't do anything.

This might be the best line ever I read on an HN article in recent years.

You don't update that property unless there would be a need to prove the age was above some other number. Otherwise I think you're on the right track. As you said, you'd update it when you turned 18 or 21 etc.

In the US, 21 is the "prove you can buy liquor" age and there's seldom a need to prove anything higher, outside of some unusual cases like becoming a member of Congress or President or something. No-one cares if you're 22 or 24 or 43.

Your profile states your a logo designer. With regards to your above post "Now is the turn for current illustrators to adapt."

It's mostly the same for everyone. Brains are mechanically hardwired according to evolution. And that is mostly what dictates what makes us happy. It's actually the scientific conclusion if you "think" about it.

But it's more then just drugs, sex and fame. Your children, the love of your wife, friends. That sort of thing can make you happy.

Just thinking though typically does not make anyone happy, and this can be verified. Happiness is associated with endorphins and part of your brain lighting up in an MRI.

Also if you "think" about it even further. If humans can actually "think" themselves into happiness, a lot of the stresses of the real world would magically disappear. Survival of the fittest does not allow this. A content human is not one positioned to compete and survive. We are wired to never be fully satiated, never to be happy for long. Our brains give us a taste of happiness so that we can spend most of our lives working to chase it. Because an unsatisfied person is a competitive person and that makes him evolutionarily more fit.

Being fully aware of our evolutionary nature actually hinders survival. Nature wants us to live in an illusion thinking we're chasing a goal with an endpoint that equates to contentment and happiness. If you "think" too much, as I have, you see past the illusion and you're now less likely to play the "game" so to say.

What I realized from "thinking" too much is that it actually makes you MORE unhappy. It makes you realize the horrible truth of most things and the pointlessness of many other things.

No offense to parent but what I see from his statement is basically someone who hasn't thought deeply about certain things too much.
I would consider both hydro-electric and nuclear to be beneficial power sources if both local air quality and global climate effects are the primary factors.

I hear you that some "green" initiatives are poorly targeted but I don't think that means we should hit the brakes on regulating the things that are known climate issues (ie excess methane releases) or investment in improving our grid emissions.

Let me ask you this slightly offtopic since this is new information. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that the person who attacked Paul Pelosi was friends with him and defended Elon Musk who tweeted a link to a news website that is saying it was gay love triangle.

> First, to clarify, there are "keyboards" and there are "digital pianos". Keyboards typically have 60ish keys, keys that are light or thin, and sound that is low quality.

I describe myself as playing "keyboard" and call my instrument a "keyboard", even though by your definitions it wouldn't be one -- I don't think that's how the word is usually used? I think most people, including most musicians, would consider a digital piano a kind of keyboard.
The government would only publicize the emissions that benefit us politically, which are likely the primary polluters we already know about (China, India, etc).
There are a lot of countries out there, even if the us is unwilling to, it would be in the interest of many middle powers to do so.
but there aren't N places on the page where ads are shown, there's one place: in the feed, at an unspecified frequency as you scroll. twitter doesn't have any ad surfaces to eliminate.
While I sympathize with the sentiment, that creating some kind of censorship dystopia will magically solve the problem, the idea has no traction when most of the people doing so make less than $1 a day somewhere in a remote corner of the world. This is the problem I have with climate activism.

The best way to reduce pollution is to raise the standard of living for people around the world. People who are wealthy can afford cleaner forms of energy, they can afford to dispose of trash cleanly, they can afford to recycle. People that are poor have nothing to lose and don't care about "environmental authorities". "Let's ban X", "Let's force people to do Y" and "Throw them in jail" is not a reasonable or effective way to solve problems. It also further divides people and does more to hurt your cause than to promote it.

$44 billion seem to be the going rate.
How much is a moderately busy app? I have a sketch of a twitter app in Scala with zio-http as the framework, doing the batching strategy twawaaay describes, and it can handle 46k POSTs per second on my i5-6600 with a SATA3 SSD. That's using 16 connections to postgres, which is probably more connections than is reasonable for my 4 core CPU.

At 46k RPS, it only takes 5.5 ms to assemble a batch of 256, so latency is basically unaffected by doing this. Just set a limit of 5-10 ms to assemble the batch (or lower if you have a more powerful computer that can handle more throughput).
