Folks here mentioned that the core point is not about the need to the importance of reading, but the importance of writing. No, it’s really about becoming better at deep, structured thinking. I think that’s quite a good thing to focus on.

The world we live in is becoming more complex. I think it’s because our communication pipelines now have unlimited IO - there’s too much to consume, too much to process, too many thoughts we feel the need to express in response to all these inputs. All of this at the unforgivably quick eventual constituency cross-region replication guarantees afforded to us by Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, and many others.

I write more these days.

I don’t share most of what I write.

I write for myself, because I think that writing my thoughts helps to refine these thoughts, retain them for future me, and, on occasion, share them with another person, thru conversion, or by just copy pasting something I wrote.

You don’t need a blog to start writing. Just start writing. VS Code. Notepad. Emacs. A piece of paper. It doesn’t matter. As long as you can do it when you feel like it. Write.
Completely agree, having an interactive programming interface to the system is superior to using a shell in practically every way.

> The G4 was just a sad period in the PPC line up on desktops.

Not really. In 1999, the US government classified them as supercomputers and banned their export to over 50 countries. Apple tried to make hay of it, but almost immediately started lobbying to get the ban lifted. The last G4 tower was released in June 2003 and discontinued a year later and just got old by 2006 because Motorola already left AIM, and IBM wasn't delivering. Not Apple's fault, and the reason for the platform jump to Intel. But, again, at release, any of the high end G4 machines were faster than any consumer Intel tower, though 2003-2006 gave them plenty of time to catch up and pass the G4. The Mirrored Drive Doors 2003 dual 1.25GHz G4 was... is still a pretty sweet machine. It is still in use in Pro Tools studios because Digi equipment and plugins were expensive, and none of the PPC Digi components work on Intel. Try sourcing one. You'll be shocked what MDD 2003 DP sell for in 2022 at 18-19yo.
I wonder how people connected to the victims reacted. Perhaps they accused the host of a red wedding type murder? Or perhaps they thought it was divine intervention?
<< If we had to comply with every jurisdictions special laws on the entire planet we'd surely waste most of our time doing it.

Without making a judgment here if you do business somewhere the expectation typically is that you will comply with local laws. This is partially the reason why only big companies can handle truly international business.

<< GDPR came out, our solution is to just violate it and not care.

Anecdotally, when GDPR came out, in the old country the, almost, first thing that happened is whole bunch of companies started bothering small businesses saying they are not complying and offering to bring them into compliance by adding cookie warning popup we love so much.
That's a good point - I reckon Mercedes haven't thought this through fully yet.

All cars have their branding and model number on display, perhaps what new cars will have is some kind of fancy electronic display on the back that shows the current model number. When you subscribe to the added extras, the display will show something different to let others know that your car is one of the special faster ones and, by extension, that you are better than the others !
Present however works best for your material and audience. Discrete slides, scrolling through documents, or a hybrid. But in my experience, slides tend to be better than scrolling unless you're "working through" some problem (even then, slides tend to be just fine).

It's not like people don't scroll through documents and call it a presentation. They've just been some of the most painful presentations I've attended and I have no desire to subject anyone to that myself. I'd honestly rather have PowerPoint eye charts than another one of them. At least the eye charts tried to create a presentation, they just fucked it up.
Well no, clearly the theocratic laws have improved op’s quality of life. It’s just that the oil money has too. Why does it have to be one or the other?
Before I understood it was AI, I found it odd that some of the women were somewhat sexualized visually. That seemed to be a bit disconnected from the idea that this is a machine world where I expect it to be emotionless, sexless.

You may disagree but to me it points out the shortcomings still present in AI art — a lack of the ability to make editorial decisions.
I'm not sure I see the point of this comparison. Publication of a

The dollar figure of the cost of a bad proof, or of a kernel bug, will always depend on the specifics of the case.

That free speech is murder - that many will die if we have just one social media platform not controlled by liberal journalists and academics - is inherently laughable.

That they refuse to quote anyone disagreeing with this inanity shows their real function: not journalism.

Is Taking a vote across millions of twitter users considered unilaterally”?

Isn’t that the best way to share viewpoints and find common ground? Seems like it would be worse not to engage people with mistaken beliefs.

Haphazard seems like an opinion. A more charitable view is that things will break when making major fixes. And they’ve already owned up to the mistake, paused the feature and are releasing a version 2 soon.
Maybe such stories will not just be a thing of the history books with anti progress on reproductive rights..
For a script like this your be surprised. If you don't do too much allocation, the garbage collector need not run. In fact it's common to disable it at the start. Now you can allocate much faster than C because you never clean up after yourself!

A real world example is esbuild, the author implemented it both Rust and Go initially. The Go version was faster and the code simpler. Which is why it's implemented in Go.
You think it's a good idea that the performance of your car (and other features behind simple software flags) is remotely controlled by the manufacturer locking you into a relationship with them, giving them the ability to reduce the resale value of the car you "own" if you don't pay them an ongoing subscription? I don't think this is a model worth cheering about unless you're a shareholder.
I live in Utah, where 54% of the state is public land. San Juan County is 94% public land.

It's cool because you got just a few hours south of the Wasatch Front, where 92% of Utahns live, on state route 29, and you see beautiful vistas of practically untouched territory.

The truth is public land is generally unreachable because there are no roads out there. Sure there are lots of roads into BLM land but there's just lots and lots of BLM land and they can't build roads into all of it on their current budget. Besides, usually the roads are gravel and of questionable maintenance.
Another interpretation would be that Rust and JS cannot possibly cover all or even most programming domains, so there must be other languages out there that need to be in the ring for any given application.
I have ran into several crypto groups adding me to their group. I was not the only one. Several people were in this category who would be added randomly. They would eventually leave. And then another set of people would be added. I always wondered how they got my and people’s numbers.

I think this is their database leak.

Recently I’ve heard it put in the context of how we can use rituals to build up our personal power (in the energy / ability to get things done sense, not the psychotic sense). This prompted me to make a list of things that can be ritualized for this purpose and writing is a big one.

Isn't it great that nothing can make our lives easier unless we're giving up proportionally more in data, privacy, or liberty?
I live in Norway, which has a similar system, so I can’t answer for op, but the answer here is, no. Your “social security number” is not ever used as a password or other form of presumably secret key. While you probably don’t go blabbing it everywhere, there’s not much you can do if you know mine. You would also have to physically steal my phone and also learn my secret pin, or break into my fire safe in order to successfully use my personal number for anything. Address and phone number are the same thing, that’s just where you mail things to, it’s not used as a secret key.
It's hard to tell, and it's certainly possible that this person genuinely enjoyed working with Musk and believes him to be a visionary. But if I spent half of my working years pursuing the erratic whims of an egomaniac, I'd have a very strong incentive in justifying this to myself with the belief that he is indeed an unparalleled genius, and not just a delusional rich man.

At that point, who he is is who I am. His public image and status reflects on mine.
You could try FreeCodeCamp - it's a different style of learning, but it might be useful for you. There are some sections on HTML and CSS, or you can jump straight into Bootstrap:

Still better than obscure question from page 20 of Leetcode.
Do you mean abstract, or rote?

I think maths is necessarily abstract, in fact that's where the beauty lies IMHO.

Learning maths in terms of calculating your taxes, or 'how long does it take to fill the bathtub, if both taps are open' type problems would be extremely uninspiring.

OTOH, I see a lot of teaching is just learning the 'abstract' mechanics of maths, without any understanding of why, and how it all fits together, etc.

The two seem to share some properties.
>These things require access to accurate and up-to-date road and traffic info

Which they will probably steal from the regular drivers, so you will be effectively paying for your own data.
Part of it is that both regulators and competitors simply don’t want many more bank licenses in the US. So they won’t make the issue process easy even though analysis and background check capabilities have improved so significantly.

An analogy might be the old taxi medallion regulation in New York that had limiting the number of taxis as a goal in addition to qualifying cab owners and drivers.

It’s a frustrating situation because an organization unworthy of a license like FTX can just buy one anywhere in the country, but a worthy organization working locally can’t start a new bank, because they’d likely have to buy one too far away. Anyone who believes there should be more small banks is just out of luck.
Your Google Drive/DropBox/OneDrive storage space or your IntelliJ IDEA feature level (Basic/Pro/Ultimate) is also remotely controlled by how much you pay.

What's the resale value of the IntelliJ IDEA that you "own"?

Funny how HN thinks that's perfectly fine, but if you do this to cars suddenly it's a dystopian nightmare.
> In the science fiction books I read as a kid, reading had often been replaced by some more efficient way of acquiring knowledge. Mysterious "tapes" would load it into one's brain like a program being loaded into a computer. That sort of thing is unlikely to happen anytime soon [...] because even if one existed, it would be insufficient. Reading about x doesn't just teach you about x; it also teaches you how to write.

Well, but if we could produce a tape that taught x, presumably we could also produce a tape that taught writing.
Interesting story, especially the part where the Canadian scientist got assassinated by (probably) Israel.
So it is mostly a shared superstition. “Grugg see four rocks like a paw, Grugg must say doo-doo for good tiger hunt”, except we shouldn't consider ourselves to be much different from Grugg. Of course, it's not the only example of modern day religious practices (cough… cough… masks)…
i'ts not a law, but there is also Jevon's Paradox in which the more efficient use of a resource causes overall increase in the amount of overall consumption of the resource

Isn't those details (+ profile pictures) only available only you've accepted the first message from another user?

I think I recall that I cannot see a persons avatar when I message first unless they hit "Accept message" after me sending the message.

Is it not like that everywhere perhaps? I use Whatsapp with a number in the EU region.
I'm not sure how they come up with the idea, you buy it but you actually don't own it.

I can't imagine if Apple sells us an iPhone with 3 cameras, and we have to pay 3 different subscription tiers to access to each of them.

Yeah definitely; the "+" alias is built in to most emails (like, it works on Google/Proton at least). I'm more just saying that if you pay for ProtonMail (and therefore care about privacy more than the average person) you get another service for free that doesn't expose your "real" email if someone cared to look.

Someone can look at joe+spam@joeschmo.com and figure out Joe's "real" email address. Something like SimpleLogin (sorry, not a shill for them, I swear) gives you a completely new email/domain (and lets you set up your OWN domains), which then forwards to your proper inbox.
The acceleration you needed wasn't there the moment you needed it most, because your subscription expired or your car couldn't get online to check that it was still active.

And now you are dead.

Safety is now software, on a subscription model.
When you use a telescope like this, you aren't looking for intentional communications. What you are looking for is emissions unrelated to intergalactic communications. The hypothesis is almost every civilization should have a huge emission pattern all over the practically usable RF spectrum.

Just on earth for example, television transmitters are constantly broadcasting a very high power signal on all kinds of different frequencies.
We recently shopped for new home appliances and were surprised at how hard it is to find non-"smart" ones these days.

At this point I think it's inevitable that some appliance features will require a subscription (e.g. your fridge's ice-maker is an additional $5/month).
It isn't as hard as you might think.

Most gravity-gradient measurements are differential. Common-mode accelerations can be substantially-rejected.

Also, if you're in the precision-measurement game, navigationally-relevant signals can be much larger than the precision of modern instruments. People in the prospecting business sometimes fly gravity-gradiometers in airplanes.
Just as there is no such thing as a general-purpose transportation vehicle, a truly one-size-fits-all general-purpose programming language does not exist; for a given highly specialized application domain it will always be possible to design a language tailored to, and better suited for, the specific needs of that domain.

I'm failing to see the difference on the medium orbital range? It's still "just" an intercept. I assumed all tests were done at low orbits to help ensure the junk deorbits as quickly as possible while still fulfilling 100% proof of effect, but that is just an assumption and I'd certainly be curious to know if/why/how I was wrong!
You mean "what link farmer would pay for a high karma account?", and the answer probably is "many".
Good. The sooner this data-siphon is cut off from the EU the better.
And so can we!
I/O is still often the bottleneck. My laptop can handle 11 GB/s through RAM (and no NVME, so under 1 GB/s through the hard drive), less with unpredictable I/O patterns (like a hash-map) and 7600 GB/s through the CPU. Unless the thing you're doing is particularly expensive per byte of data, you're going to be limited at a minimum by RAM I/O, and maybe by DISK I/O.

FWIW, all my recent performance wins have either been by reducing RAM I/O or restructuring work to reduce contention in the memory controller, even at the cost of adding significantly more work to the CPU.
The first two sentences of the article make that perfectly clear.
Or.. buy a used EV for less and give up none of those things?
Many people--perhaps the majority, even--are not homeless simply because they ran out of money to pay for housing; instead, they are homeless because they made life choices that led to them not being able to hold a job and pay for housing, or they have mental health issues that make it difficult for them to participate in a society where only those best able to adapt can afford good housing.
But that’s so exciting! More frontiers to explore!!
Except you did. You framed it as in totally congress is unbalanced because of the senate. To someone not from the US that distinction isn’t a material one and you used that to make it seem that there is no population balancing mechanism. So while you may not believe you were intentionally dishonest, it comes off that way to everyone else.

The essay makes this central claim but then spends most of the time talking about writing leading to better thinking (which I think is well proven). Does anyone know of research that backs up the main thesis?

I think what parent is trying to say that at certain point over-regulation is not helpful and actually detrimental not just to the business, but the ecosystem as a whole. For a smaller business, onerous regulation could mean closing the doors. For a big business, the burden is also there, but it can more easily withstand it due to its size ( and it typically has some resources to throw at a given issue ).

I agree that there are some 'minimal functioning society' laws like the ones you listed, but I am not certain Canada law example in previous posts or GDPR falls in the same category.

As usual, the question is that of where the line is. And that should be determined by societies at large.

The thing about this "it would still be great to see dependence on advertising broken" is that Twitter has been built and tuned for a brand advertising business model. Is that the best business model? Debatable. But changing it deep in self-inflicted crisis only reduces the odds of success. Changing without an expertly informed theory of what could work is even less likely to succeed.
The burden is on the owner of the data in any case. When using an external data processor like Microsoft they have to make sure that the external company complies, and this must be explicitly covered by the contract.

If this was half the price, say £3,500, I'd probably get one. The price seems wildly out of line with what you get.

Also I wonder about modding - larger battery, a roof rack and a bright orange paint job to compensate for lack of safety features.
Fintechs can’t just start up and operate as banks, because regulations are really high on who can accept deposits (for obvious reasons, this is a post about FTX). They get around this by using banking-as-a-service providers, which are essentially commercial banks that accept deposits from fintechs and allow them to get cards and deposits through their infrastructure. The Bancorp Bank is the biggest one but there are a lot of them, I’ve seen Column posted a lot here and Coastal Community Bank also appears to be one

> Why he still can speak on NY Times event?

It'll be most interesting to see what he has to say now. I don't think someone committing illegal acts (currently or in the past) should be grounds for a full on ban for speaking in public. Worst case scenario (for him) he says something he shouldn't have, and further goes into the rabbit hole. Best case scenario for us, we get insights we didn't have before.

Also, banning people based on what's illegal would mean Edward Snowden couldn't do any public speeches anymore in US-based events. Is that what you really want?

Collateralised fund obligations: how private equity securitised itself
A large percentage of landlords charge below market rent - for various reasons.

Small landlords often don’t want to deal with annoying their tenant so they don’t raise rent unless they feel they “need” to - and appreciation makes them feel they don’t need to.

Middling landlords (owning one or two 20 or so unit buildings) often are aiming more for cash flow and minimum vacancy, so they often have pricing out of date. (Ask people in your are who rent which apartments never have vacancies - you’ve found the underpriced one).

Large landlords (many thousands of units) have vacancy targets and formulas and comps to determine rent as best they can - not because it makes them money per se but that it raises the value of the property (which for large complexes is a simple formula based on rents) allowing more loans for more properties.

RealPage is trying to provide that “large landlord” stuff to the other two.
