I'm not familiar with the details of UK's issues, but I doubt that the subject at hand, food price inflation, can really be put on the back of Brexit.

Pretty much all the Euro Area (of which the UK was not a part of) sees similar numbers. According to [0], it was at 15.5% in October, from 13.3 in September.

thx for elaborating the rules! I will notice this in the coming posting.
> in order to win, Trump needs to broaden his audience

I don't think this is true. Trump's message, image, and behavior were possibly the most widely/frequently broadcast of any human in history. There is effectively no stone left unturned for him.

There was also some analysis during his presidency that the more he tweeted, the worse his approval rating got. That might not be true these days, but it shows that not all publicity is good publicity.

> What's the point of limiting himself to only his supporters on truth?

He can squeeze them for donations, just as he does with his email campaigns.
IQ doesn’t make up anything of your personality.

It’s a hotly debated measure of intellect.

It being better to be a big dicked track star vs a fat genius has nothing to do with IQ as a valid measure of intelligence, or even personality as you were talking about. And is frankly really weird you brought that up.
Okay I read the full readme and things have changed since last time I read about this.
Now this seems to bring actual neat features to package management vs. what exists now. I wonder how they did truly relocatable packages… probably like Nix did it, I suppose?
If this really turns out to be an easier-than-Nix Nix, it could be great!

There’s still the NFT/crypto side I do not like, but the product looks somewhat fair compared to what this was a few months back.
the flip side of this is that every airline company has, over the long term, been a net loss for investors.

also the airplane manufacturers require huge government contracts to even exist, as well as special treatment (like Boeing getting away with killing 300+ people) and periodic bailouts.
Starlink's customer service is terrible, your experience is common based on what I read on /r/starlink. Folks there pass around the email address starlinkresolutions@spacex.com as a possible way to get help but I'm not so sure that really works.

You should definitely pursue a refund from your bank. I hope you don't have to initiate a legal proceeding.
One more thing, which may be controversial here on HN, but which I think is nonetheless correct, is that Musk has been effectively cornered by the previous Twitter board. He has no other choice but to count every penny and squeeze the maximum from the remaining employees. See the revenue vs loan payments estimates.

So the blame for all the drastic measures such as mass layoffs and such, should be equally shared by the ex-board if not solely.
I've tried it, and it was kinda "meh" for me.
But will try it again for the case I have, thank you!
There is zero research to show IQ tests count as valid and reliable measures of anything associated with intelligence.

Your hypothesis as to what properties minds have, what those properties give rise to, and how IQ tests count as measures *has no scientific backing*. This description of IQ tests is, imv, an extremely unlikely account.

If you want to show IQ scores are measures of these properties, please provide (1) a theory of the mind in which these properties appear as experimental variables; (2) experiments in which these variables are controllable; and (3) evidence that IQ correlates with the expected controlled outcomes.

Note, the above has never been done. Making the assertion that IQ measures intelligence circular. It is simply, asserted.
Inflation in the uk is a combination of inflation and weaker pound. Most food is imported from abroad.
Where you get this info?

In reality, people learning to drive using simulators, but exist nuances.

Most important - costs. Typical numbers, are 10-20 hours of filming group, to just make cinema of 1 hour of learn process, and about 100 hours of gamedevs for 1 hour of cinema quality game.

In EU typical cost of full meter cinema, begins from 250k euro, median about 1mln.

These costs are too high to tolerate for low cost small machines (less than 100$ per hour), but for special purpose vehicles costs much higher, so they use simulations very active.

Special purpose vehicles, mean fireman, truck crane, tanks, other military machines.
Those 10million cars are no more available to those drivers than the one in your driveway.
Do you understand the basic idea of a page being composed out of divs? Grids inside flex inside blocks and so forth? If so, you can look at the example template and think about how to create each section, one part at a time.

How do I make this header? This avatar image? This description? Okay, how do I put three of them together side by side?

Experiment with different div types until you get the rough layout of that section working, using placeholder text and images. Then tweak the whitespace and such until it actually looks right.

If you need a hint, use the chrome inspector to look at the source code of your example.
Wouldn't be surprised. The thought somebody else can be better at everything you do or are gotta sting some people.

> I do wonder if there is any ideological side to this from Musk.

I think this is giving Musk too much credit. He hasn't shown ideological consistency on any issue, and that includes free speech.
I love the direction, drilling down into conversation mechanics. Very cool that technology is enabling this kind of deep dive. It's a very conservative article tho, not making any big points.

I'd like to see a stab at a theory that explains how conversation actually works. Intuitively, it feels like a hack built on top of systems designed for acting in the world.

I think social position is written on the face. The labiofacial folds measure exclusion (deep lines indicate social isolation/discomfort, no crease indicates strong social ties). Feels tied in with nervous laughter as well.

I spent the last year living in London. I'm from California originally so a regular old American.

I do think it's a nation on the decline in many ways.

However, I met so many ambitious immigrants who came to the UK to work hard and make a good life for themselves.

I believe these people will continue to keep the UK humming along.

It might not be a mighty outsized county economically but they'll be fine.

Not having a degree isn’t a problem. Even committing immigration crimes isn’t a problem.

Making your imaginary degree your whole personality, on the other hand, might lead to the kind of self-delusion that would prevent one from accurately judging one’s own competence. And then one might end up blowing $44 billion destroying a company you thought was simple because you don’t understand web-scale software, the basics of how to manage a business or how laws work.

Elon Musk has the opposite of imposter’s syndrome, and a whole lot of people have just lost their jobs because of it.
> The problem is in people thinking it’s ok to predate on other people and doing so.

I'm sympathetic to the risks women run, but this isn't necessarily an issue with online dating, but just dating. "Online people" are just people.

The only real difference is that online dating allows you to have as many dates as you can handle, so if you do go on 7 days a week, you could very well have "a bunch of bad dates on Tinder" in just a month.

I think it's the approach people take that is problematic: meeting at a restaurant on a Friday evening and expecting everything (sex on one side and "payment" on the other). I have dates for lunch, coffee and for walks; zero expectations from either party, it works wonderfully and when it doesn't we just go our own merry ways.
So when did it become populist to hate Elon Musk?
It's hardly "scientific evidence", but my personal assessments of "how intelligent someone is" appear to correlate quite well into various "IQ bands" if a score is revealed at some point. That may be a coincidence, or they may be dependent upon some other unknown factor(s), but it does work out in practice.

People who criticize IQ scores as a proxy for intelligence should publish their own IQ score, no? If the author did so, I missed it, which is certainly possible. The not-intentionally-snarky point is that perhaps the author is not "smart enough" to assess this reliably.
Take pride in the results. Not the code.

Game development, in particular, is notorious for clever hacks that POKE into registers that elegant code and high-level languages otherwise would not touch.

London Loses Crown of Biggest European Stock Market to Paris - 14 November 2022

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-14/london-lo...
Holy shit. Forget counting the hours (which are easily into the tens, if not hundreds) you saved me and my teams - more importantly, RediFork was a great "on-ramp" for easily introducing observability in existing services without instrumenting anything new, and a great way to demonstrate the power of automation to newbies.

From one "engineer whose irritation at inefficiency spawned a whole tool" to another (I got sick of staying up overnight to run load tests, so wrote myself an automation and monitoring tool - which got picked up, spun off to its own team, and now is used by >300 teams) - thank you!
there is no need for fentanyl vaccine. Junkies who chase high will just switch to something else and OD themselves.

The psychological dependency on drugs should be treated, but this is much harder problem tightly coupled with larger societal problems. I would love to read research on differences in drug problems in countries with less societal stress and more happiness vs more stress and less happiness.

In the end fentanyl is simply a painkiller, people choose to get high to run away from their life problems. In the mind of patient, the risk of getting OD and becoming drug addict is a better decision, rather than facing grim reality of their daily life and future prospects.
I'm honestly shocked that HN hasn't taken this down yet. They tend to have self awareness the way I have self control around a buffet.
Just when I though NFTs couldn’t get any dumber. The package manager itself seems interesting but I’m not touching it if it has crypto nonsense in it.
London might as well be a different country from the rest of the UK. It’s not at all representative.
By the logic of the person I was replying to: Britain has a weak currency and also Brexit. America has a strong currency and also no Brexit. So perhaps these things are related?

IQ is a fair predictor of achievement in life, though. But there are other predictors too, such as parents' socio-economic status, or geographical location. We wouldn't claim these things measure intelligence, though. IQ is a proxy for intelligence, but one with great shortcomings. Unfortunately, there's no agreed upon definition of intelligence, let alone an operalization, and a way of measuring it. So IQ keeps being used.
> jobs and industrial capacity to Eastern Europe and China

No, that definitely was the 80s.
> I'm not sure how any of that describes "using customer funds to prop up your affiliated crypto trading firm"

Hedge Fund, it was Alameda where the customer deposits were backdoored to and it was a Female Standford grad in Mathematics (who claimed to only use elementary math while operating it) who was CEO of said hedgefund where all the funds were lost--I only say this because of the wide-spread condemnation of the tech industry to downplay the effect that Women have on tech, and are entirely silent when it's negative as in the case wit Alameda or Theranos.

Just so it's clear, I'm not a misogynist I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the woke mob(s) that SBF played n order to get where he was when it comes to hypocrisy and outright refusal to acknowledge it's prejudices because she doesn't seem to be getting any coverage in this crime at all! SBF is a crook and he deserves all of the scrutiny so far, but so is she and it should be noted as such!

Edit because HN sucks at post liimts:

> Is this a distinction worth making? I'm not even sure whether "hedge fund" is even the correct term here. Wikipedia describes it as a "quantitative trading firm" and so does bloomberg.

Very much so, yes: one was an exchange (that took in customer deposits for the purpose of them to buy/sell on said platform) the other was a separate trading operation which was used to (among other things listed below) front-run tokens with said deposits on behalf if it's owners with said exchange based on the activity of it's user base--it's like not seeing the difference between Robinhood and Citadel in that debacle. It just so happens that FTX and Alameda were founded and owned by the same person, SBF.

So, yes their are critical and fundamental differences that should be acknowledged to comprehend what and how this occurred. The Court Ruling is worth a read.

Furthermore, the use of quantitative analysis to trade doesn't detract from the aforementioned so I'm not sure why you cited that at all other than to prove you can look up a wikipedia entry.

But ultimately, no... it isn't the same thing at all; here is the court ruling to prove it [0], and note the following:

> -8-4892-0827-0654 v.2C.The Alameda Silo22.The parent company and primary operating company in the Alameda Silo is Alameda Research LLC, which is organized in the State of Delaware. Before the Petition Date (as defined below), the Alameda Silo operated quantitative trading funds specializing in crypto assets. Strategies included arbitrage, market making, yield farming and trading volatility. The Alameda Silo also offered over-the-counter trading services, and made and managed other debt and equity investments.

>> In short, the Alameda Silo was a “crypto hedge fund” with a diversified business trading and speculating in digital assets and related loans and securities for the account of its owners, Messrs. Bankman-Fried (90%) and Wang (10%).

> The leaders weren't just I'll prepared with Brexit, they head-on despite the consequences

Well, arguably, they kind off got carried away by the thing they created; Brexiters pre-referendum were usually advocating some sort of soft Brexit (albeit often with conflicting demands which made it impossible; "single market access but we don't need to follow European rules" sort of thing), then there was May's Brexit which looked 'hard' at the time but soft compared to what actually happened, then Boris's Brexit, and then Truss wanted to make it _worse_. All of these things were worse than being in the EU, but the degree of badness intensified as the leaders of the movement were captured by the movement itself.
I would suspect significantly reduced eye contact between autistic and Nuerotypicals and between autistic and autistic social pairings. My central question would be in high masking autistic individuals does there masking ability relate somehow to eye contact? And if so… by how much? Similarly in autistic-autistic pairings how much eye contact is required for autistic people to communicate well with each other? In my experience, and in some recent studies we see that autistic people can communicate seamlessly with other autistic people without the need for eye contact.

This study asserts that eye contact is required for good social engagement and communication. What I am challenging is that that finding is probably only true in Nuerotypical samples and is probably not present in autistic people.

It's a very indirect post of a screenshot of a dead thread in Reddit about a dead thread in HN. I'm still not sure, but my guess is that the original thread is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33482032

I never heard that YC accepted a company outside the batches. Did you get accepted?

Also, I think they don't have too much editorial control over Reddit or any subredit.

In HN, the mods usually try to keep alive threads that are against YC or HN, so my guess is that they didn't notice that your thread was flagged.
My biggest issue with that is I couldn't find it documented anywhere and it feels like they come up with new suffixes every year. I was on board with F and K, but now there's a bunch of others that I just have no clue what they mean.

Is protest considered free speech as well? If so, then any presentation that is edgy can have a protest response. If it’s not considered free speech, then things are inconsistent but perhaps not unexpected? And I would think that freedom includes “no mandatory hosting” and especially “no mandatory attendance or recognition”.
I looked at your blog posts, and fyi they are alphabetized, not sorted by date - maybe you want to change the default sorting on that?
I think that it's also important to realize that maximizing "health" is not some kind of absolute goal. Not every aspect of life needs to be optimized to the highest level.

Of course, obesity is a huge issue (especially in the U.S. compared to many other "developed" countries) that can affect people's lives negatively and causes further medical issues such as diabetes, and ultimately can prevent people from leading a life that is as fulfilling and meaningful as they would have liked.

But we are still dealing with people here, not rats in a laboratory experiment, and I think the issues that directly follow from being obese are already bad enough that it does not help to pile on more shame by treating those people as being "weak-willed" or something of the sort, or denying them basic human dignity and respect for being outside the sacred norm. Do we really have to add artificial negative consequences for being overweight? Does that help those people have a more fulfilling and meaningful life?

I don't think people will just forget the direct negative physical/social consequences of being overweight by not being reminded of them all the time in a moralistic tone (and even just reminding people of such information can be moralizing, depending on the context in which the information is provided).

IQ was invented by eugenecists.
Indeed. For some people, the way to know they’re really paying attention is when they close their eyes altogether.
“In a lot of ways, this post is a few years too late. Most prominent military procurement programs go through three phases, at least in the public discourse. Early on, they are miraculous, and will solve all problems. They’re cheaper than what we have now, and far more capable. Then, as they come closer to entering service, problems show up, and the media turns on the program. It’s now the worst thing ever, behind schedule, over budget, and useless compared to what it’s supposed to replace if not actively dangerous to our brave troops. Lastly, these problems get resolved, and it becomes a perfectly normal, if imperfect, weapons system, eventually celebrated as a fine example of American engineering, and the benchmark against which the next system will be measured.”
Personally they might still be doing way better in the US and that is all that really matters.
You assume that a government in an elected democracy will solve anything or be any better than the current situation. This has proven to be false over and over again in history. The only countries that flourished and had tremendous economic growth, are those who had a period of more personal freedom and an almost non-existent government. The more government you have, the less can the human spirit succeed in moving things forward. The few deciding for the many is a failure in any way you spin it.
It might not seem like the biggest issue at the moment but the departure from fact based economics seems to me to underly lots of UK’s current issues.

One example. They have to find Brexit benefits so we have pointless plans to depart from eu rules. Result is higher costs for businesses and uncertainty for anyone trying to plan.

This allowed someone like Truss to get into power with a fantasy economic plan.

You can want Brexit for lots of reasons but the denial of its real economic impact has poisoned the discourse about how to manage the U.K. economy.
Apparently, from your bubble, you did not previously know that FTX also contributed to republicans.
Probably no productive discourse to be had. We fundamentally have different views and I respect that.
