Hey I used to agree with you but then I realized that I'm smart, industrious, and not ugly which puts me just miles ahead of the average person, which is still the middle-of-the-pack. Actual dumb people still need to be fed, housed, and given meaningful existences right? So what to do>

Engineers and other techy people that peruse HN probably don't spend a lot of time around less-than-average folks on a routine basis, I figure.
Funny thing, except for the occasional 3D print that becomes a pile of plastic, they're pretty good. Keep it clean, level, change the nozzle occasionally, use good quality material, and it's pretty good.

For 2D printers: they are just money pits due to the toner costs; and do everything they can to make sure you buy Their toner. Buy a name-brand color laser, use it sparingly, and it's a wonderful way to have the occasional color picture, graph, or research report w/color diagrams. (I have a Brother, which I like.)

I like this concept, especially if you use a centralized host like github/gitlab, then a hosted webui makes sense for non-devs to be able to view/edit issues.

However, I have concerns how this tries to be the middle and bridge out to other systems. This makes me think about to git svn days and how it was the best svn client. I wonder would an alternative "git jira" be more successful, where instead of a bridge it becomes the "best jira client" that happens to use git cli.

You might be excited by [0]. The idea there is to study a novel phenomenon in strongly-coupled quantum systems that is very complex to see ordinarily, but becomes easy to understand when you look at the same physics from the gravitational perspective. That would be a nontrivial experimental check of AdS/CFT duality. It's effectively a novel form of "quantum teleportation" wherein an excitation is transmitted between systems using the quantum equivalent of a gravitational wormhole [1].

Instagram, when it was acquired, wasn't too concerned about making money: It was still VC funded, and was looking at raising another round.

The founders controlled the small set of features available, and weren't beholden to, say, trying to include targeted ads or adding shopping to the platform. They certainly weren't concerned about bots, child pornography, state sponsored actors, data warehouses to store and analyze data for FCC decrees, the list goes on.

It's very easy, looking in, to handwave away complexity that creeps into a business and its technology and assume it's a lack of engineering skill. Do a reality check: Compare Twitter to other similar companies e.g. Facebook, Spotify, Netflix, Bytedance, Snap ... are these companies ran by 6 10x engineers? 60? Do you think EVERYONE is stupid or is unaware of how to do software engineering or is there complexity here you may be ignorant of? It's obvious Elon thinks the former here.

> Folks who prefer dynamically-typed languages are generally of the opinion that working with compiler error messages sucks.

I think a big factor here is dynamic languages can show concrete variable instantiations to help you understand what went wrong so it's less abstract e.g. the code `plus x y` might give the runtime error "x was 'abc' which is type String and not type Number" vs something more abstract and confusing like "x is type String and not type Number" that you tend to see in compile-time errors.

Are there any languages that give concrete variable instantiation examples as part of compile-time error messages? For instance, example values could be generated from the types, come from previous program runs, or supplied by the coder somewhere.

When errors get tricky, you tend to start plugging in concrete values or stepping through the program manually so compilers could definitely help more here.

Problem with the idea of heads rolling is that it doesn't really achieve anything. Let's hypothetically say you just stormed the parliament and slaughtered all the members there. Then what? Install military junta? That requires actual military backing, and doesn't exactly have great track record. Hold new elections? Attacking democratic institution seems unlikely strategy for winning seats, and if you think you can win that way then why did you need violence in the first place?

In general, we don't put people in jail before they are convicted unless we think they will pose a further danger or flee. We wait until after they have been proven guilty to lock people up to punish them.

He's already being prevented from leaving the country (note, the country is the Bahamas where he had been living for years). He doesn't have access to FTX's accounts. It seems like it's harmless to leave him out until proven guilty.

The FBI and the Bahamanian government are still trying to figure out how to timeshare who interviews him when. The prosecutors are still working on understanding the full scope of damage done. Heck, there are lawsuits moving forward on where the primary forum for FTX's bankruptcy is, let alone who gets to throw him in jail first.

Keep in mind that the CEO brought in to clean up after Enron was also brought in to clean up FTX and try to organize the bankruptcy. The first thing he said to the court was he needed more time because this has the worst books he's ever seen and he doesn't even know what FTX owns. Like, he cannot find the paperwork and is trying to reconstruct some of their ownership from "third-party materials".

At least in the US, there are laws against multiple prosecutions. So if the prosecutors came at him with an easy case, they could accidentally give him immunity from the other related cases. So they have to build a big one before they actually prosecute. Imagine the uproar if he was prosecuted and punished for stealing $10MM and that kept him from being prosecuted for the rest of everything. Or if the prosecutors hinged everything on his cryptographic signed orders and it turns out the keys were taped to his monitor and, boom, reasonable doubt, so he walks.

It takes time. That's frustrating. But that little bit more time now had better be enjoyed. He's not getting out of jail for decades once he goes in.

Show HN: Postgres Logical Replication with Rust
Postgres Logical Replication (the ability to listen to the write-ahead-log) is an extremely useful tool that opens up a lot of use cases which has been put to great effect by companies like Materialize[0] and Redhat with Debezium[1].

This project seeks to demonstrate how to implement logical replication using Rust that can be easily set up and experimented with.

Even if it is a money-making endeavor, the NYT could slightly mend its journalistic reputation with some hard-hitting questions to SBF. They have been soft-handed so far in their reporting on SBF and FTX and it reeks of major bias and conflict of interest.

The documentary is available on iPlayer¹; You may need to be in the UK or have an IP that at least looks that way to see it :/

It immediately made me think of Channel 4's alternative Christmas message from 2020². While the technique is obviously different between the two, the step change in quality feels immense to me. Channel 4's was a few minute long heavily staged piece that didn't hold up to close scrutiny in my eyes, and the BBC's far more convincing example is applied to — I'll trust — somewhat organic recordings of multiple people.

Edit to add: I attempt to draw the connection here because we're talking about relatively cheap broadcast television and not $500,000,000 movies.

It does tend to create inflationary pressures via an increase in the borrowing cost of government (often expressed as the government bond rate), which in turn makes the entire cost of many other forms of borrowing more expensive, which in turn changes the expectation of what a dollar or Euro or pound is worth today as compared to what it will be worth in a year's time.

Sure, but you can't do that over night and not temporarily backstopping consumers until that supply comes online risks bankrupting businesses and putting even more strain on the economy. So long as it's temporary it's probably the best thing we can realistically do.

There are very few things you can do in a slow cooker without compromises that affect the taste, mostly because of the limited temperature range (mostly they don't get hot enough) and the fact that most of the time you don't want all of your ingredients in for that long. This can be mitigated of course, but once you are pre-cooking some things and adding others later, you lose the primary appeal of them.

Most low-and-slow is better done in an oven, so the main thing you are left with is fire safety (e.g. if you want to leave it going and go to work). If you aren't careful you trade that off for food safety, anyway.

I see the appeal for convenience if the mediocre results don't put you off.

Predatory on those who pay, not predatory on those who default. What's predatory on those who default is the pay-to-play system of credit bureaus.

Credit makes the modern economy run, but it churns out winners and losers. And some types of credit have more winners or more losers. At what point should society start banning such credit? Just once it crosses over into loan-sharking? Once it results in a net decrease of GDP? Have such analyses been done?
Halfway through the article he brushes off hormetic effects. But it seems likely that a lot of things associated with health and longevity are probably hormetic.

Cold showers, hot baths, moderate exercise, low amounts of alcohol, intermittent fasting, low amounts of psychological stress... all have papers documenting beneficial effects with at least some speculating due to activating body's repair systems (hormesis).

Anyway, the idea that the beneficial effects of vegetables are due to plant defenses isn't an unusual idea - this was on the front page of HN a while back.
