It's called being born with money. Talent and vision is plent, wasting money on random shit and being cruel to people until you have a profitable idea is luck with a side of evil.
It's not even the right category of criticism. The author talks about 'mathematical purity' which is something Rust sneers at. Spend just a little while with Rust and you can see that when the language is getting in your way, the driving direction it is pushing you in is towards code that will be maintainable. Which is still not about getting shit done, and is still a valid axis to prefer Go's rapid development cycle on, but if you cannot name the distinction then it is hard to believe you have spent enough time with the language to properly observe it.
Simply giving people homes is not a solution for homelessness.

It is much more complex problem. Homeless people need more help than just giving them flat or even a room.
I guess by this logic, Elon Musk really is the real life Iron Man.

The story around relays seems to me like the most suspect part of this when it comes to scaling.

The protocol doesnt want users to run their own servers, but there also aren't really any incentives to run relays, so what happens when it gets big enough that running a relay is expensive or non-trivial? I feel like it would just fall back to users running their own servers like in mastadon.
Why not just call yourself a programmer? You tell it what to do, it does the work. I'm not sure there's a difference
This is my question as well. If the majority migrate then I will follow.
Your home isn’t split in two. You have two homes, one of which stands empty at any given time. That’s what they’re arguing against, some people owning multiple houses while others are homeless. They’re not saying it should be impossible, just more expensive.
Could you give a list of your favourite MOOCs (on any topics)?
> Why do you want me to pay extra property tax because my home is split in two?

This is like asking why I want to make sure everyone gets a slice of cake before you go for a second slice.

I absolutely have nothing against you having two properties, but while homeless people exist in these societies, I absolutely think it should be expensive for you to do so. If we get to a place where homelessness doesn't exist, then I'd absolutely want you to be able to own a second property at no financial penalty.

> It sounds like hold this view that anybody who owns anything is necessarily evil.

I never said any such thing. I described adding taxes to a behavior that I think leads to a bad social outcome.

There are lots of things that I think we should tax as a means of changing behavior without saying someone who engages in those behaviors is evil.

Frankly, I don't know why you'd have this perception from my comment, but it's certainly not accurate. I own things! I don't think it's evil. There are lots of activities that I personally do that I think should be taxed at a higher rate.

I own a home, and think my property taxes should be higher. I own a business, and think my business taxes should be higher. Just because I advocate for higher taxes on things I personally do, doesn't lead me to believe I'm evil.

This is not really abnormal for many large companies or government. The c-level peeps are doing ‘stuff’ and the job of layers of management below them is to manage/manipulate them into doing ‘other stuff’. Nothing so weird about it. It goes wrong when the top doesn’t have vision, but Elon does have that.
Nah, locking them up is cheaper than leaving them out. Yes, it may cost a lot but what do you think the societal cost is of beating up CVS employees until they close another store? What do you think the neighbors would want?

> locking a human in a cage without rehabilitation for years of their life

A human who isn't worth letting out even if it were safe to do so. Net positive to society. I'd rather imprison one person than sentence another to a mugging or rape. The CVS employees have rights too.

> make the problem worse and cost us a ridiculous amount of money (and humanity)

Explain the humanity loss to someone mugged or raped by a repeat offender.

> why they happen here more than other nations

Why are more rapes reported in Sweden than India? Because more rapes happen, or more rapes are reported? In many countries if you tried to shoplift you'd simply be beaten and thrown out. In the USA police are called and a report is written.

As for which nation is safer, it depends if you're a criminal or not.

Hard disagree. Goretex motorcycling boots are a godsend. You can easily get a lot of water on the shoes, and if you have waterproof pants that go over the boots, the water will not get inside.

Regular shoes that basically don't breathe are unusable when it's more than 20-25º C. It's not always practical to carry around two pairs of boots when out on a trip.

My pair of boots are usable in the rainy European winters at 0º C, all the way to the scorching heat of the Arizona desert. With regular shoes, I'd just freeze in the winter or have swampy feet in the summer. The wind speed sure helps in the latter, but it works against you in the former.

Cult of personality is a thing and very clearly part of Elon's whole existence. Is it surprising that many are sycophantic enough to want to be at his companies or in his circle to keep their true opinions to themselves?

But at the same time, there have been many, many instances where people have come out and said these things. There have been lawsuits around this.
> But I do pay more

More per house. There's no natural law saying taxes need to be equal per house, or that they need to be commensurate with services consumed by those living in them. Taxes (and tax breaks) are also used to incentivize behavior, which is the answer to your original question of "why".
Difficult to say probably the latter considering the previous cases of racial tensions in Singapore but if you want a non-authoritarian example I think Canada is a good one.

LCD displays are among the most fragmented hardware when it comes to firmware. An open-source standardized driver is essentially impossible to achieve, and that also makes e.g. Linux "mainlining" more painful after the official firmware stops receiving updates. Happy to see more and more independent reversing attempts around.
It's just the natural progression of anything really. Nobody would argue that you shouldn't drive a car because modern machines were used to build it. This kind of art will be inflationary and that's the end of it - the skill required is getting outsourced to machines. What it means to be an artist will be defined by how you use these new creative tools.
Why would you say that new housing isn't being built where you live? Seems like the demand is there?

I find the quality of my thinking is much higher when writing by hand, but it’s so slow I feel like I get down a particular path and forget so many of the other things I was considering in parallel.

I can type much faster than I can write but it feels like a messier thought process. It feels more like jamming a gearbox, while writing by hand feels like a smooth shifting bicycle, with the wind in my hair.

Should I try dictation and then writing it down later? Or typing up my handwritten notes after writing them? Any other ideas?

Mueller is not a reliable source either. He is widely known as a huge kiss-ass within SpaceX.

That is very much not standard practice for PHP since about 10 years by now. Applications have a designated web root directory and an entry point that boots the application - as php is serverless by design - which is sometimes placed inside the web root by convention, but that is neither a requirement nor a security risk.

By now, stateful application servers are also powering modern php deployments: They also listen to a socket, and keep parts of the application in memory, next to an event loop.

In my area, homes sell over a weekend and typically the owner lives in them until closing basically. The open houses are nearly always done with the owners’ stuff still in the house. The houses sit empty for maybe a week. Is it really that common for a seller to move out while it is trying to be sold? Such a person would need a lot of money to do so.
Here is the output of GPT reading and summarizing this (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33748363). Model seems to be hallucinating the author. Any thoughts on how to improve it?

"The Need to Read is an essay written by Kevin Kelly. In it, he argues that reading is essential not just for acquiring knowledge, but for learning how to write. He cites the example of a science fiction book in which reading has been replaced by a more efficient method of knowledge transfer. He argues that even if such a method existed, it would be insufficient because it would not allow for the kind of discovery that writing does. He concludes that people who want to have ideas can't afford not to read."
I think this may be an overly cynical take - there are already exploits / tools that would allow direct piracy on the Switch itself which would no doubt perform much better than any emulation.

It seems far more likely that this is done just for the curiosity of doing it.

There’s one fascinating outcome to me as a result of Nintendo essentially repeating two hardware generations (GameCube -> Wii, then Wii U -> Switch), which is that on the highest end gaming PCs, games for the Switch can and do run at much higher resolutions and framerates than the Switch itself is capable of. On the YouTube videos I’ve seen the games don’t appear as stable as native hardware, but they really do look tremendous. Especially Breath of the Wild.

It's clear that C is a dated language that leads to numerous security problems. It is inevitable that we will switch to OS's written in Rust or similar safe languages, or will see most of Linux rewritten.
I was surprised by the observation that Python rounds towards even numbers, so round(0.5) = 0, but round(1.5) = 2.

This is indeed clearly documented [1], I guess I never looked closely enough. I found some discussion on the dev-python list [2] which shows at least I'm not the only one surprised by this!

I think especially tech people would do good to re-read the article, replace "artist" with "developer" and "artwork" with "program", "architecture" or "software stack" and see if the arguments that there is nothing to worry about still make sense to them.

If Copilot is any indication, we're really not far from some tool which can take a spec as a prompt and output an entire software system - front end, back end, DB layout, configuration - which sort of fulfills that spec.

He is now retired and says the same thing as before (see "The Elon Musk show" on BBC). If Elon is truly so incompetent why would he work for him for 15 years? I know a fair bit about Musk, at least of what's publicly available, what do you know? Social media "Emerald mine" hot takes?
I think there is clear historical evidence that this thesis is, at a minimum, greatly exaggerated. Socrates never wrote, and I think he had more good ideas than Paul Graham ever will. Muhammad was not even literate, and unless he was inspired by divinity, his ideas were extremely powerful.

I mean, I do personally find that writing is a powerful tool for thinking. Maybe that means that Paul Graham and I are normal, and Socrates and Muhammad were atypical. But maybe it says more about humans-in-our-society than it does about the essential human condition. If humans learned "by tape" (as per the SF books from the Silver Age, referenced in TFA's opening para), maybe idea-production would work along different lines.

I admit, I tend to agree with him about the usefulness of writing. But I think it's just an irrational intuition, not the clear argument he implies.
His first reference around audiobooks it's particularly resonating, in so far as to express, record and iterate ideas with mind maps!

Mind maps, sketches, doodles, mocks, are ineffably (pun intended) great at having good ideas.
>It's hubris to think we are at a stage where human scientists are so disciplined and knowledgable that we can start patching existing life-forms in such a safe enough way so as to target certain types of cells reliably over time and not others.

I never said we're at this stage now or even close to it, in fact I explicitly said the opposite:

>>>>Like I said, the technology is very far off from having real world applications like this. At the moment it feels like we're in the analogue of the 40s and 50s for conventional computing. The field is still just inventing the very basic building blocks. It's going to be very limited in use, wildly dangerous(look up mercury delay lines) and unreliable for decades to come

As for comparing creating medicines in a vat to using bacteria as an active treatment, you're the only one making that comparison. The paragraph you responded to wasn't about in vitro drug synthesis at all, so I'm not sure what your point is here. Yes, it's obviously different. I never said otherwise. It's perfectly possible to target bacteria to specific tissues; wild bacteria already do this.

My point was that a bacteria engineered to target a malignant tumour, to be very treatable with antibiotics or bacteriophage, and to have a strongly reduced rate of mutation, is extremely unlikely to evolve into a pandemic, and is likely to be much safer than chemotherapy and radiation.
This is going to hurt the lower-to-middle class more than the wealthy. I bet a lot of Americans had to make some extra side income to combat inflation and a difficult few years. Lowering the threshold from $20k to $600 seems like a shitty thing to do.
"I don’t think it would actually be feasible to implement, but I wish something like it existed."

It's feasible (in some contexts), and has been implemented in Wales in recent years [0] (though not exponential, there's nothing stopping it from progressing that way).

There used to be reduced taxes on second homes, recently changed to 100%, and now changing to max 300% (set by councils).

They've also closed a number of loopholes to stop owners passing these homes off as dysfunctional businesses (listed to let without taking any lettings).

There's a large disparity in wealth over a relatively short physical distance, resulting in a large number of homes in "idyllic" but poor areas being bought as second homes and spending the majority of the year empty.

They've also moved to a land transaction tax that makes the second home purchase more expensive [1].

I'm not saying they are pulling the ladder up, and good to see these initiatives being put in place, but they don't necessarily solve the issue with existing vacant second houses which most likely have benefited from the lax taxation over the years combined with increasing property values.

You don't seem to agree with the post as a whole, so I'm curious:
1) Did you expect the post to include reviews of applications, so you could learn from that, or
2) Do you think the design quality of FOSS is high enough?

If it's the latter, I'd love to know your examples of apps that meet the criteria I listed:
- Is free to use
- Has open source code
- Has a user base that doesn’t primarily consist of software developers
- Has a GUI
- Is mainly created and maintained by volunteers

Sweden Public housing is terrible. You get in the queue at 16/18 and maybe maybe when you're 30 you can get a nice 2 rooms apartment on the suburbs. Except if you managed to either buy someone's contract illegally, or use family connections to get in front of the queue. If you are a recent immigrant there is basically no point going in the queue and you will be forced to expensive second hand contract and move every year as they expire.

And then there's no logic to prices. You will get something cheaper in your 50s because you waited so long that you can finally get a nice spacious apartment for no money at all in the city center, while a student will have to pay more than that to get a shitty corridor room in the suburbs. Real life example: a friend paying 6000kr for a room in the suburbs as a student vs a 40yo lady with a good income paying the same for a 2 bedroom appartment in the center (market rent for second hand contracts for such a flat is about 19 000kr). And then you have newly built public housing in the suburbs that has prices 2-3 times more expensive than the old ones in the center for the same size, but those you can get without waiting whereas the old ones need more than 20 years of queue to get.

It is probably the most broken system in Sweden, but it kind of seems to be by design to be honest. I would actually have liked a well functioning and supplied public housing market, compared to the annoying parts of the private market in most countries, but swedish rules have just made it a nightmare instead
You're laughably sheltered. The same person would set a baby afire to get drugs. By refusing to get them off the street at the first intervention you're setting some poor schmo up to take the fall, robbery, beating, or death.

This isn't some poor single mom who can't afford an extra $20 a month to feed her baby, stealing formula. Watch the videos - crews of five to ten are walking into a store and looting it systematically - expensive cosmetics and other non-essentials - and beating anyone who interferes. Regardless of the violence it just gets called "shoplifting" in the news.

You're minimizing organized crime that results in attempted murderer simply because the predicate crime sounds small.
So it’s stealing to use a license you don’t like?
