Maybe you are right guys, Idk. But I am skeptical, not of the change in the climate. That is a fact. But of the whole set of things (full model) that provokes it.

I think it is a really difficult thing to guess. And anyways, even if it is not, how can you stop it if China, India and US say no to it bc there is no current technology to replace?

We could be in the situation where a lot of restrictions are set and later the guess is wrong. More expensive energy means putting a ton of people back into poverty, literally.
Genesis Creditors Collective Negotiation
I'm not Alex. I'm helping to get the word out to additional direct creditors (in contrast to Gemini Earn clients) who may want to join this group. The group already represents a large share of Genesis' liabilities, and has hired an attorney to negotiate with Genesis on a path forward to avoid a drawn-out bankruptcy.

That is absolutely amazing, and I will be trying that next barbecue day.

For those who don't know, on a slightly related nugget, you can also use any sort of fat as a lighter fluid as well. Cook up some bacon (for instance), collect the fat/oil from the pan, and next time you're grilling - a few napkins (or other sort of kindling) rubbed around in the bacon fat is more than enough to heat your wood/coal to burning.

Now to set those napkins on fire with a water bottle!
The more this behaviour spreads the better. I already find lots of dead toads with the tongue pulled out (presumably) by crows. Nature is correcting the mistakes of humans.

Your mainstream user doesn’t care about the underlying technology behind a product. They care about good UX/UI, good content, who’s on it and a supply of dopamine to keep the “must check social media” cycle going. There’s a separate group of people who use social platforms to stay up to date with the news. Think Twitter/HN. It’s not so much about dopamine but necessity to stay up to date on things/discovery. There’s really no shortage of platforms out there. I don’t know if we want to bundle general chat applications like Discord/WhatsApp into this as they’re more closer to SMS than Instagram or TikTok. All the talk about “federated” or “decentralized” infrastructure matters little to people outside tech people and the tech enthusiast crowd. Programmers wanting widespread adoption on a platform should be focusing on the product itself and value to content creators versus the nuts and bolts around the product.
Another neat trick in the same ballpark (but not involving a potato :-p) is to create a 220v to 110v adapter with a "resistance bridge".

Plugging two (hopefully pretty equal resistance) incandescent lights in series, each lamp should have a 110v potential difference... say:

A ----(60W lamp)-- B --(60W lamp)----- C

By plugging A and C "cables" to a 220V electrical outlet, one should be able to grab 110V from either A-B or B-C :-) (assuming both lamps have about the same resistance). Most electronic devices work with a wide range of input voltage any way, so it doesn't have to be extremely precise.
Psychological studies show that people derive pleasure from policing social norms, and I'm no different. In this case: "Don't brag". So I made fun of OP's writing style.

Of course, deriving pleasure at the expense of someone else reflects poorly on me. ...but then: I'm cool with that. The world (especially HN) is full of people worshipping and trying to become statues. In order for that world to be bearable for everyone else, every statue needs its pigeon, and, apparently, that's my place in the universe.

> And in fact running anything else than "C languages" in WASM is at least as inefficient as running "C languages" on the JVM…

Hell, it is a really safe bet to say that running a C-like program on the JVM is much much faster than porting a whole runtime (which is very performance-oriented) on top of a runtime and make it run some code. Wasm simply can’t expose the optimizations runtimes routinely make use of (template interpreters for example))

Could people just stop whining pointlessly about it?

It's Thanksgiving already, Twitter was supposed to implode a long time ago and it seems to be still working great with no problems handling World Cup and from my PoV is most active, vibrant and interesting as it ever was.

Musk bought (over-paid) a great network effect with terrible management and terrible employees. All the Twitter was in recent years, was a one big giveaway: to management, employees and ideological friends. There is and has been so much stuff that Twitter could have try, so many potential revenue streams, expansions etc. while it mostly did absolutely nothing, while the company was bleeding out. All they cared about is their ideology and politics.

He didn't fail at retaining employees. All he did is quickly get rid of all parasites dissidents and ideological activists, and retain only people that actually will work there and do their job for the company, either because they want to or because they have to. That's how you turn around a culture, and there's no other way.

Obviously all parasites are all convinced that they are invaluable and irreplaceable. But the truth is Twitter will technically be just fine. Maybe there will be some instability, maybe some stuff explodes here and there, and that's it. You all are just going to check Twitter later. The only danger to Twitter are their finances.

Musk is focused on building companies that are making products and money, not cuddling people who already make many, many multiples of average salaries and have the easiest, most well paid jobs that ever existed. His brutal capitalist approach did not prevent him from managing companies successfully building rockets, batteries, cars, so delivering bunch of Twits will probably be OK too.

> but that’s not the agreement.

What's the agreement? 40 hours alone is not sufficient information. 40 hours of what?

Having personally done this "overemployed" thing in some form for 15 years now, I write it right into the contracts. I deliver 40 hours of availability, and bill as such, with recognition in the contract that I may choose to work elsewhere when I am not needed, including provisions to prioritize another engagement, even when my availability is needed, under certain circumstances.

> Obviously he’s not working the full 40.

If by work you mean fulfilling the obligations of the agreement, he might be, depending on the nature of the agreement. Per my contracts, I can theoretically, when my availability isn't called on, work 40 hours sitting on the couch watching TV. I sell hours of availability. If that availability is not used, that is not my concern and not my business.

> It’s no different than if my mechanic, lawyer, etc does a project in 2 hrs, and bills me 4 hrs.

If you hired a staff mechanic or lawyer then it is likely that you will pay for 4 hours (or, perhaps more commonly, 8 hours) of work even if they only have 2 hours worth of work to do. It turns out that not all agreements are equivalent.

Which brings us back to the top. What's the agreement?

You have it backwards. Saying it's the store's fault is like blaming a victim of rape.

Once I chased a thief out to the waiting car, and blocked the door from closing, leaned into the car, and came to my senses...

I let them go. It was only worth $750. And I wasn't about to brawl inside a car with two thugs.

I could have been stabbed or shot. It's not worth the risk. And I was the store owner. Let me tell you straight up: it's not understaffing.

I would expressly tell my staff to not risk their safety for merch.

A couple years after I sold the store, they had an armed robbery at closing and lost about a hundred thousand. Also, break-ins went up: they tried cutting the safe out but couldn't reach the rear bolts to cut them. They even stole the security cameras.

I only reported once because I knew the guy and I felt betrayed. I don't know for certain, but I think the vast majority of retail theft goes unreported.

And your favorite shoplifting fact is down-right offensive. If you were more balanced in your counterargument you'd also ask the reader: What is the cost to the public for added security, staff, deterrence tech, and lost merch? And lost sense of safety and security? Those are priceless in the eyes of most reasonable people.

It's sad to think we may have lived through the golden era of retail where stores were relatively safe and pallets of merch could be left out unguarded.

These gangs are ruining it for everyone. We shouldn't even have this discussion. We should all unify with retailers of all sizes. Theft is straight up wrong, and the thieves should be punished.
I could never take notes in school or in college. I tried many times but I just forget about them and never check them anyway, and if I do they are pretty useless because my understanding of whatever I'm learning changes pretty quickly so if I look at my notes 2 days later they won't make any sense to me.

> We're talking about garbage collection though, this will always be inefficient

Come on, it is a ridiculous claim. GCs can run completely concurrently with the actual code with barely any coordination between the runtime and the running code - they basically make allocation’s and deallocation’s costs asymptotically zero. You do not believe that manual allocations are free, right?

This is the naturalistic fallacy. Historically, people also lived in near starvation conditions, average lifespans were much shorter and a broken leg could be a death sentence.

If you apply the same logic to hunger, for example, even more people would be obese if they ate when they felt hungry, or if they followed their ancestors' instincts to gorge until full whenever the opportunity arose.

It's possible that we've historically survived in a local maxima of resource scarcity, and that "optimal" metabolic performance exists in a place beyond that, where resources are less scarce.
As others have said, aggregating at the state level makes no sense.

For example, in Austin, TX, I can't speak for retail crimes in particular but there has most definitely been a change in prosecuting other crimes. Hit-and-runs are an epidemic now in the city, primarily because the police won't even respond unless there is a major injury. I was in a hit and run, I got a detailed description of the car and license plate, and yet there were 0 consequences to the person that hit me. It actually makes more sense to run if you hit someone because there are literally no downsides (except for people with a conscience, of course).

But if you looked across TX as a whole, this data would definitely not show up.

ML was at first a domain specific language for writing/assisting proofs: a) maths-like notation, b) functional, c) statically typed, ...

Lisp did only do b) to some extent. It was and still is common to develop languages as internal or external domain specific languages on top of Lisp. ML was such an example. Often these languages then are/were ported away from Lisp to a specialized (and possibly smaller/more efficient) implementation. Thus Lisp served as a prototyping environment.

> The marketing around pressure cookers (MAKE TANTALIZING MEALS IN 15 MINUTES!) always overlooks the time it takes for prep (~ 45 minutes),

Most meals take a lot less time to prep than that, and prep can often be separated from cooking, some parts by days.

> the times it take for the vessel to come up to pressure (~ 30 minutes)

5-15 would be more accurate.

> and time it takes to depressurize (~15-30 minutes).

Instant pot quick release only takes a couple minutes; natural release takes longer, sure, but that’s usually included in recioe times that use it (many of which have partial natural release for a set time followed by quick release.)

For times when you need to do a full natural release because of the kind of food (to avoid fouling the valve) but want it to be faster, the Pro (and Duo Evo) Instant Pot models support an optional ice tray accessories that is placed on the lid to effect a rapid natural release.

> These often involved a “rapid depressurization procedure” of taking the Instant Pot to the deck, and holding the release valve up with a long wooden spoon.

The Instant Pot as a button (or pull switch on the Pro) for quick release, what is the purpose of your procedure besides gratuitous drama?
Which guy? The author of the article, which I read over a second time after reading your comment to make sure, doesn't appear to mention being paid by the hour.

A full time job by convention an social construct consists of a 40 hour work week but in practice the tend to encompass a certain body of work that's expected to be done every week. If that work can be done in 20 hours-- no random chit chat with co workers over bs non-work related stuff, foot travel to different meeting locations where you lose (at minimum) 15 minutes on both ends of the the meeting purely due to getting to a meeting location and waiting for others to arrive...remote work eliminates a lot of the BS overhead of in-office work of this sort. (don't get me wrong, some people-- including me-- find value and a certain amount of mental health balance in having that extra person contact. but not everyone)

Eliminating this in the post covid era of more pervasive acceptance of WFH means that even more of an employees time is freed above & beyond what's required to get the job done.

Sure, you might argue that you owe the full 40 hours, that you should find other projections, do more etc. But WHY! That isn't the agreement we make with employers. We agree to do a specific job for a specific wage and companies try somewhat to calibrate them into task chunks they feel should take roughly 40 hours a week. But the heart of the matter is that you're paid to do the job and NOT to fill a seat for 40 hours. Vanishingly few people get any sort of overtime or even comp time when those job tasks require 45, 50, 60+ hours of work each week. Why on earth should they be paid less or be prohibited from occupying their time more productively if their able to perform the ostensibly 40-hour chunk of work in only 15 or 20 hours?

I really don't think the OE approach is for me, but apart from pushing through the cognitive dissonance imposed by the social construct of the 40 hour work week seared into the public consciousness, I see not ethical or a priori reason why OE is bad or fraudulent or unethical of anything of that sort. All stipulating that the person is actually performing the required tasks of all jobs at the expected level of competency
