A utopian ideal that was discussed for centuries.

The Marxian version of the ideal also was predicated on technology, and also business cycles. It said, as technology brings increased productivity, and the replacement of labor with it, it would lead to these recessionary cycles caused by excess production. It's only a matter of time now before we realized these modes of production need to be replaced by something centralized, where the laws (the logic) of the free market lead to the destruction of the free market.

And then the 1960's Marxists: we would repurpose these machines to fulfill our needs that require labor, and we would now have the free time to frolic, fornicate and make art. A New Man would be created, one not an outgrowth of the competitive free market environment.

Sure.

We've had some time to let this play out and it's quite obviously heading in the opposite direction. We might have drones and magic devices where we can talk to each other face to face in real time, but we're all over-stressed, over-worked, over-monitored and as competitive as ever.

I don't see us laying in fields in the Sun and making art.

Although I might've seen something like that in a sponsored ad on Instagram.

Something tells me Michael Lewis is being paid to write the exact opposite of what you expect. They wouldn't let a non-believer to "embed" into their operation.
Here's one theory: Psychic ability was researched heavily in the 1960s. It's possible that some people who were heavily involved in psychic research then and after hold great power in key places, and would prefer government policy not further normalize the discrediting of their former work..?

If psychic power really was real and useful, I'd be tempted to actively discredit its existence and exploit its power to finally achieve world domination. I'd be very happy that psychics were banned from police investigation because it would make my crimes against humanity easier to cover up.

We can invert this logic on IHK itself. If it can’t sell itself in a manner than sustains it’s finances, it, itself, is not sustainable.
I just tried it and my heart started beating faster, and I felt very stressed.

It was not a pleasant sensation, and I quickly stopped and went back to regular breathing.
I added grain to an image pipeline that's fairly widely used (millions of devices). I found that simple poisson noise in linear space with a bit of filtering gives a decent natural look with very low complexity.

It's still effectively "sold" in economic terms. You have one codebase and it generates revenue per customer (where "customer" may either be an end user, or an advertiser for ad-supported software).
Ah, great, yes that's the one I was referring to. Thanks for posting.
Seems the default limit is 20 commands - perhaps someone had overridden it to be much higher. It was about a decade ago though so I may be misremembering something about the issue.

I think the famous vampire survivor game did this. FNF which is another game went viral with its web version and they're now working on a full release.
My thoughts are that companies don't receive any return in giving you feedback and it's easier to claim retaliation/fear/liability* as the reasoning for not doing it. I'm not sure why anyone thinks ghosting the person reduces their ability to retaliate. Maybe a company could ask a candidate to sign a NDA if they would like feedback otherwise let them know they may not hear back from you.

I don't discount your situation above or pretend to know all the aspects, however objectively looking at it, blocking the persons email address would solve some of those issues. I assume most places do this. Noting that even if you didn't give them feedback, ghosted, or rejected them, they could have also sent numerous nasty emails anyway.

I would like to see at some point some of the same professionalism, such as you show with your feedback to candidate's, from all companies that "evidently" have huge wishlists and want to hire professionals.

* I haven't found any sites or papers that have tracked giving / not giving feedback to candidate's and the prospective results outside of anecdotal situations.

* I did notice that some places such as Dragos do list feed back as part of the process.

Pixels are not squares. Pixels are sample points, arranged on a square grid. One of the things you can do with those sample points is fill in the whole square around them in the color of that sample point. But that is not 'what pixels are'.
I have yet to meet a single person anywhere in my circle of acquaintances from conservative religious practitioners (who nevertheless endorse some sort of non-monogamy, as believers in the bible who have actually read it would tend to given the apparently blessed non-monogamy within it as a text) to modern non-monogamists through actual literal cheaters ... who does not believe sex carries with it some form of personal restraint or ethical responsibilities to observe.

What those ethical responsibilities might be varies, of course, and it shouldn't be a surprise when people's specific related advocacies might be consistent with their behavior.

I'm all for discussing the merits of monogamous vs non-monogamous conduct or other sexual ethics, but I have little respect for people who seem to be primarily orient their discussion around supposed moral corruption of people who have openly endorsed non-monogamy, especially given how many who have ostensibly endorsed monogamy can similarly provide us with examples of "struggle with sex addiction or guilt over having done something sexually illicit."

There is not much in the way of evidence or argument that the line between good and evil runs neatly down the middle of this debate.
I don't. I have no idea where my teacher got it from but, man, is it a good definition.

This.

There's no way to break into "family" farming (500-2000 acres basef on location/crop/animals)

"Low returns" lololol

Farming is incredibly profitable (b/c good crop prices and the government makes sure it's very hard to go broke, although some people definitely try their hardest) so you will pay top dollar for land (purchase or rent).

I kinda dreamed about taking over our family farm, but the rents my retired parents are getting makes it unlikely to be profitable.

You really need to be farming 20,000 acres with the latest technology. A 500 acre farm is just not going to pencil out except as a hobby farm.
It always has been. Flash Boys was totally off the mark, as was Liar's Poker. Reportedly this book was intended to be a puff piece on SBF and his exchange. I'm a little upset that the whole fiasco collapsed before it could reveal Michael Lewis as the charlatan that he is.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Liar’s Poker wasn’t exactly a glowing review and drew on first hand experience. I think deep embed doesn’t necessarily mean puff. Getting in with Gladwell isn’t a great sign but particularly now that the outcome is established I’d have been open to the idea of it being a good book.
It got basics of how HFT works completely incorrect and was largely a pitch piece for IEX whose main goal is to feed up retail traders to whales.

“Flash Boys Not So Fast” is a comprehensive takedown.

> but completely misses the point.

It does not. You think the point is to reiterate what's already been said.

> The ruling said that the President can't spend the money without Congressional authorization.

The ruling is an interpretation that makes no sense on its face, which is not unusual for many courts.

The President isn't spending money. He doesn't literally write a check. Direction (executive branch) has costs associated with actions. He certainly can direct from a written order.

The line of thinking from the ruling is paradoxical. If congress was required to have an audit of the costs for any action POTUS (or any part of the executive) took, that would incur a cost, effectively removing the power of the Executive and miring the process in recursion hell without recourse.

Currently, the legislative still has recourse, but the ruling directly mentions that the ruling is a critique about Constitutionality being breached between the branches without any relation to the case at hand. Note the ruling, in effect, was against the plaintiffs who were funded by people interested in challenging the law.

All parties, being politically motivated, is what makes it a political ruling, which is not unusual, despite the reasoning.
Why are there HN apps? Why is there an app for everything Google provides on the web? Why is there .... etc I could really go on forever because your question is not very well thought out.

I know you're asking this question from an extraordinarily narrow point of view, but it isn't hard to see that doing this is really quite common and in demand.

Cherry picking an instance of complexity is not a particularly fair way to judge a language. It would be like explaining how to encode the lambda calculus in C++ templates and then claiming C++ is too complex.

As far as I have read, Pin has never been a satisfactory thing but a necessary one. Even recently Rust has been trying to decide how to really handle unsafe mutable pointers in a way that COULD be safe. I'm surprised you didn't bother to use that example, as it is much more convincing in my opinion.

But that gets to the point, not all of Rust is simple (Indeed, most novices will exclaim it is way too complex for merely having a borrow checker) or elegant, but that does not prevent the average use case from being so (the exact situations that you claim to want to use Go in, why would you be using two nested Pins in any normal situation?). Moreover, Rust is actively evolving, and we can hope that these rough edges do get better with time.

I simply took my (sustainable, profitable) business to Ireland after getting sick of dealing with German nonsense.

The value prop to me of being in Germany was entirely negated by the hostile environment towards getting anything done that wasn't paperwork.
> The amount of work and frustration we could save with a modern equivalent to terminal emulators (without historical baggage) would be really significant.

This has been occupying my mind for over a decade, but I can't come up with a design that I like.

For "TUI" apps: something like a GUI toolkit, but should remain reasonably performant over a poor connection (think how mosh tries to hide input latency), and the wire protocol should be something you can bang out in bash.

For shells: the shell should not be concerned with things like keyboard shortcuts, line wrapping, or positioning the cursor - this should be done on the client (terminal). You should be able to set a proportional font, if that's what you like. The shell should be able to trivially request displaying a picture, report on the status of a background task, or present an interactive progress bar.

Maybe this is two different projects / efforts, maybe one can build on top of another.
It's false. It's written as if Goldman Sachs traders were innocent angels preyed on by evil HFT firms, which is backwards. HFTs improve your prices as a retail investor too; they don't steal your money.

I don't think BLM protests or the January 6 capitol attack would have happened if people hadn't been cooped up with nothing to do but read their favorite brand of outrage news.
I get that. It's the fact that Lewis was embedded for six months, working the SBF beat. It suggests he was a believer.
Here are my points:

- I want to build a simple, easy-to-use tool. No fancy, complicated features.

- Upbase is built for teams, but it should work well for Solos/Individuals. So you can use it for both team collaboration and for managing personal stuff. In the future, you'll have the option to turn off all team features, so that you can use Upbase as a powerful task management system, without all the distractions. (At the moment, you can turn off Chat if you don't use it)

They're two separate points, though.
I have much more respect for Gladwell.
>Advanced, industrial, technological societies should be able to guarantee comfort and stability for all people regardless of work

This is an archaic mindset as old as the Industrial Revolution itself. The problem is that we’re still nowhere near the level of automation and productivity required for it to provide a quality of life we consider “good”.

> though they have offered leverage to customers, I'm not sure how that was accomplished, or what backed it.

Margin's pretty easy to offer on crypto exchanges. Most of the ones I've seen will do a market sell as soon as your positions become illiquid. I doubt the computation involved in doing that for all accounts perfectly is tractable though.

I think most of the times psychics volunteer their services and then tell everybody they are working with the police even if the reports get filed with "Detective Can" (the trash can).

I think it is unusual, if it ever happens, that the police seek out a psychic and pay them to help with an investigation.
I hate paying taxes and fees. I understand anyone trying to evade or reduce them as much as legally possible. But the fee the IHK imposes is so little I honestly don't care about.

For 1.000.000 € profit its 1.400€. Literally some rounding errors or customer not paying thats not worth the hassle to discuss.

Careful. The graph you linked shows that inequality going up and beyond after each and every recessionary trough. And the %age owned by the 1 percent is higher in that recovery period, than it was before the drop began.

Put in another way, that support the assertion that recessionary cycles make the inequality worse. You're just pointing to the acute phase of the recession, when the evidence is in the years immediately after.

I think this can be explained because assets can be purchased more cheaply during these periods, leading to a greater share owned to be possible, and thus making the wealth slice of the pie by the 1% to be even more valued.
>long term memory, short term memory

Doesn't that mean the architecture isn't settled? The current mechanism of appending the output of the model back into the prompt feels like a bit of a hack. I'm only a layman here but it seems transformer models can only propagate information layer-wise, adding some ability to propagate information across time like RNNs do might be useful for achieving longer-term coherence.
No, that's just wishful thinking so FOSS developers can get on a high horse and not look in the mirror. "Seeking donations to support development" and "Making large users pay for a license" are completely different income models. A few licenses for commercial software with ongoing support can easily cover years of community donations, in my experience. Coincidentally, guess which one of those two models is the most successful as far as "allowing independent software developers to support themselves" goes?

That said, mold I think is a difficult project to monetize broadly for a few reasons, but certainly nowhere close to impossible, and I do believe it's a project that can support a couple developers, with some clients. And I believe it's going to be vastly easier to do that than relying donations and draining your savings account, if I'm being honest, with a bit of experience in this realm.

Let's not tell ourselves lies. Corporate, commercial software development, for money, and licensing software under pay-for-use terms, is how almost all software developers make money. Not by GitHub donations and wishful thinking and pontificating on Hacker News. In fact many of these entities even use open source/free software to accelerate the development of their products, so they can be licensed for the same amount of money, yet they don't contribute anything back — despite the fact their production costs were lower than they would be otherwise. The idea here is to increase the "surplus value" (google it) that they can capture. I will leave readers to think about these words since they are relevant to this discussion and the story of mold.
I think with the exception of MongoDB, it's too early to ascertain the impact of this on the profitability of these projects.

Given the increasing number of restrictions and monetisation efforts for docker hub, I suspect docker desktop at least has not had the immediate effect they hoped.

As for elasticsearch, a lot of projects seem to be adopting a "wait-and-see" approach on the last open version, 7.10, while others have moved to Open Search (e.g. https://docs.graylog.org/docs/installing )
Just to make it clearer for other readers: The difference between setting up a limited liability company (GmbH), which is mentioned in the article, and a simple company, as you describe it, is crucial here. It is indeed very easy to start such a business in Germany. A simple registration is typically (there are exceptions) all one has to do to start one. If one works as a real freelancer, ie. if the work is primarily a personal service of oneself (in contrast to delegating the work to an employee) or if the "business" is only occasionally or non-substantial, one does not even need to register. But in all this cases there is no split between business and private assets. In other words: One is liable for the business also with all private assets and even all future personal earnings (one may file personal bankruptcy, though and get rid of all liabilities after three years).

The idea behind the effort regarding the registration of a GmbH (needing a police clearance certificate, a minimum of capital, a notary to confirm the correctness of everything, etc.) and its disclosure and documentation obligations is to allow for a certain level of supervision in exchange for limited liability.

A GmbH has also a fuctional separation between the owners of the GmbH and the CEO. In the special case of a one-person GmbH these are in the sense of a personal union identical. But since this is not necessarily the case, it is quite easy to change it when the company grows or the owner wants to retire as the CEO.

Typically even a one-person GmbH is established with a certain number of "shares". So if you want to sell a part of your GmbH, you can just sell a certain number of this shares (you need to notify the registration authorities via a notary about it, though). This is why even a one-person GmbH needs a charter (and one important job of the notary is to make sure that the charter conforms to the law).

My main complaint is that some of the procedures are still very redundant because the digital exchange of data between the various authorities involved is still in its infancy and in many cases does not even exist. For example, when I changed the location of my one-person GmbH in 2019, I had, after some paperwork with the notary via (snail) mail, to go in person to the town hall of the old location to deregister with a paper form and then go in person to the town hall of the new location within two weeks to re-register with the new location.
> Yes it is. At the top of the article he says:

The requirement is never elucidated, stands. "bend it to their will" is not a qualitative or actionable statement, which is impressive hand-waving.

Nothing about this is related to Alan Kay.
I'm a bit bewildered by these memory complaints. RAM usage on desktop applications hasn't been an issue for 20ish years. Open up your process manager once in a while.
Is Lewis's MO to pump up the people he writes about?

It's been a long time since I've read Flash Boys.

If he had sat on negative info it probably could have sold more books if he published some articles beforehand (controversy > puff pieces business wise). That's how that WSJ journo made his career off that Theranos book via posting negative stories well before the book was released. Although he was a WSJ journalist first, not a pop-finance author.
I think the issue is that not using it commercially may not actually be consideration depending on how you frame it. Your last sentence could easily be reworded as: "in exchange for nothing, you get the right to use the IP non-commercially." This is definitely not an enforceable contract as constructed under any theory.

Courts haven't yet determined which construction is correct.

Edit: I will also add that I said "of value" not "of monetary value." Lots of things with value don't have well-defined monetary value.

FTX is a monumental disaster and the story behind it desperately needs to be told precisely because it's such a big part of our culture. Based on Lewis' history with The Big Short, etc. he's perfectly positioned to write that account.

It's been so wild how many people I've met over the last 4-5 years who made the exact same kinds of comments about crypto that the bankers were saying about housing finance back in 2006.
