Have you watched any of Jodorowsky’s films? He’s pretty principled and I don’t think he’d make a movie that studios like and would make money.
Well, to be fair "hating cars" is the sensible view x) Cars are wasteful, dirty, loud, and unsafe. Unfortunately, in most places in the world the last 80+ years of infrastructure design were made around the personal automobile, to the detriment of everything else: air quality, scarce space in cities, pedestrian safety, etc.
[former Googler]

Yes, I occasionally saw people get highlighted for making optimizations like "this saves 1% in [some important service]". When you're running millions of machines, 1% is a lot of machines. However, it's also likely the case that the easy 1%s have already been found...

You misunderstand what "the internet" is.
"The internet" is a process and methodology for connectivity between LANs.
And 48 addressing bits is more than enough to solve this problem.

TCP/IP is full of cruft and causes a shitload of unnecessary problems, but increasing the number of bits in the addressing space solves literally none of them.
This sounds absolutely, positively impossible. There can never be such a thing as read access without “store access”.

Taken to the extreme, a person could read the data and then literally handwrite it down on a piece of paper. That’s storage. It is nearly impossible to prevent that.

Also, if it’s illegal to duplicate the data, then it would have no purpose to be read from. For example, the system needs to access your birthdate field. Is using that piece of info somewhere considered storage, if it persists in any way? Probably.

So what this means is that the next best thing we can do is enforce read access to trustworthy parties only, with confidence for now and the future.
"Nobody ever"?

Almost all is not all right?
I do C#, Go, Python, Node, Ruby, etc., but Free Pascal with Lazarus is my #1 choice for any cross-platform desktop app that needs a decent GUI without using Electron.

It's free, fast (enough), and exceptionally easy. If you need a supported system then even Delphi is back to being (not totally un)reasonably priced once you consider that they only charge when you begin earning from it. Their threshold is very low, but by the time you reach it you've tested your idea and got sales.

As for Pascal standards, I'm not entirely sure why there would need to be a recent one. Standards bodies have their place, but their activity is pretty much never something I ever give a thought to when deciding on software tooling.

Many people in ancient civilizations were trained in a mostly forgotten art, the recital of long stories, aka 'oral histories'. However, it's doubtful that any one person could retain a whole library of such oral histories, i.e. it was probably closer to one long text per person, given the limitations of human memory. Writing was essentially the creation of an external memory system that other people could refer to. For example, the first records of Icelandic sagas:

Well, CPU got a lot better at benchmarks, that is true. Caches got bigger, predictions got better. Specialized instructions were added. IPC improvement kinda slowed down after Sandy Bridge, at least for Intel.

Also, the comment you're quoting is talking about clock speed, and the link you provided literally shows the same base clock speed - 3.2 GHz. Intel progressively pushed turbo speed higher, but that the speed you could have achieved yourself by overclocking.
>congress is unbalanced because of the senate

Yes, that is exactly correct. Not only can laws only pass with the approval of both houses (they each have veto power over the other), but the Senate has extra privileges such as judicial and cabinet appointment approvals that do not allow direct representation. And stupid rules like the filibuster just amplify the effect.

Ironic, isn't it, that while the American revolutionaries did not like taxation with representation, they deliberately created a system which, with the passage of the 16th amendment, enables just that.

> It is not possible for a from zero beginner to read ordinary Python code with decorators, generators or what not and understand it.

Having taught beginners both python and other languages, I’d say it’s significantly easier to teach decorators than it is to teach higher order functions normally. Because in python the students have already seen, used and understood what the cache decorator does before we even touch the concept of a function returning another function, which they always need some time to grok, both in python and other languages.

As for generators I’ve never seen anyone struggle with them. What do you find difficult to understand about generators?
"about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement"

I am so sorry to do this, but: What a shitty way to go.

Seriously, though, the though of drowning is terrifying to me when it's clear, fresh water, but drowning in a literal cesspool sounds much worse. I don't know if the poor souls who died in this incident noticed the difference. But it sounds really terrifying. Also, the poor people who had to recover the bodies for a proper burial.

With 900+ years of distance it's easy to chuckle at it, but if you try to put yourself into these people's shoes, it's not funny. OTOH, there were so many awful things going on back then, I wonder if this one really stuck out to anyone but the victims' relatives.
I don’t think “grandfathering in” beliefs is the supernatural is what is being said here. Rather, it is commenting that one should not ignore centuries of religious perspectives in art and literature. One does not have to be religious to appreciate some of the writings about the human soul and the human condition that have come from religious thinkers.
A friend of mine in college owned an old motorbike. It's starter switch sometimes never worked after the bike has been not used for more than 12 hours or so. Hence, every morning he had to either kick start the bike or catch a bus to college. Kick starting the bike was a pain, but it once it was done, he was able to use the bike for rest of the day, and not have to struggle with missing buses or having to stand in crowded ones. However, some days he preferred the struggle on the bus because it was easier.

IMO what you are facing seems to be the same. You have issues starting work on whatever tasks you have because either it is not interesting, or it requires the initial chore of building up context even before you do a quantifiable unit of work. Focus on getting started, and the rest will become easy.
Thanks, really interesting how numbers are counted, for example how asymptomatic and symptomatic appears to be counted separately and asymptomatic counts are higher; possible I miss read the counts.

I am making a concerted effort in my life to avoid buying things made in China. It’s harder than it sounds, and in the case of consumer electronics, impossible. If the point of this article is to make the reader feel bad for buying an iPhone, they’ve failed. Nearly every electronics device sold in the US is made or assembled in China, and most under even worse conditions than FoxConn.
Can anyone familiar with the topic ELI5 this? Does this mean you can't use (buy? (sell?)) ZTE or Huawei modems in the US going forward? Or is this just a restriction re US govt related entities?
I disagree. I am in a bad situation. I know my car. I either brake or accelerate to get out of this pickle. I choose to accelerate, based on what I know that the car can do, as that seems to be the safest. And it doesn't react the way I expect. Now I'm dead.

> So, I can't help but feel that all these languages are trying to solve that last couple percent, and paying a huge price in perf or programmer productivity to do it, at the cost of basically close to 0% bugs actually being reduced

What about those “heavy” languages like Java, etc? Why don’t you use those then? I really don’t think that it has been true for the last 20 years to claim that they have a huge perf cost. And you really can’t go down the “safe” path in Java, even race conditions are well defined after all.
The fairy tales of religion are a narrative device for the very valid philosophical teachings. The idea that you can’t control everything is core to many secular life philosophies.

Stoics say things happen, but you can control your reactions. Comedians say shit happens, but you can laugh about it. Religious folk say events occur, but it’s god’s plan. Buddhists say reality doesn’t care about you, but you can accept that it is what it is. Even poker players say that you gotta play the cards you have, not the cards you wish you had.

All the same. Don’t let the framing distract you from the insight.
On one hand cars have been sold with "same engine different tuning" for different prices for a long time now. Paying 5k extra to "own" the extra HP versus paying 5k in installments over the life of the vehicle to lease it only makes a difference if it turns out to be a loss over the same period for the buyer, or if the company is allowed to rescind the agreement. Tesla already brought this to mainstream in the auto industry by putting all the hardware in and then limiting its use or the battery capacity with a software switch.

On the other hand even the most advantageous subscription today just eases people into this model which certainly opens the door for far more abuse in the future than straight ownership.

Given where we are today with subscriptions I'd say that battle is already lost. People stopped owning their movies or music (that's after you realize that even having a physical copy doesn't mean ownership), and who knows how many other things. It's just one more software switch for a feature you rent rather than own.
If we were back in pre-writing days, when people memorized long sagas word for word, then anyone contemplating the creation of a new saga would similarly be told of 'the need to listen'.
From many European capitals perspective, the USA is one wrong election away from fascism.
For anyone familiar with the American west (starting somewhere between the Mississippi and the 100th meridian west ), there are hundreds, if not thousands of small towns for which Google Street View has only pass through on the main street, which is typically the state or county road. They don't turn off on any side streets.

If you go to these towns, and I have done thousands of miles of driving around the West, far from the Interstates, these side roads turn often turn out to be barely-defined dirt, or maybe gravel, turnoffs. Often they just go a few blocks and end. An urban dweller might not even recognize them as side roads, because they blend seamlessly with the lots around the few buildings, and often you'll see cars, farm equipment, or other miscellaneous items strewn haphazardly.

The other thing you'll find way out in those parts of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon are right-wing anti-government militia types. People who listen to Fox News and think it's too liberal. QAnon types who follow Alex Jones and watch OANN. Could that be the connection?
With the amounts involved, SBF would have been the fifth-largest donor on the republican side.

A huge chunk of car journeys are done to move 1 person + limited cargo across less than 30km roundtrip. The sort of journeys that could be served by a e-bike or public transport, but absent infrastructure for both could at least be served by a small car.

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. Just my opinion.

> It was easier to make changes there than in the 500k loc c++ system I maintained later.

I don't consider C++ a good language in any way, shape, or form. Now had you claimed the same about OCaml, Kotlin, etc. I would have a harder time believing it.

> Language has nothing to do with success of large projects,

Of course it does, but they do not exist in isolation either - it is just one component. There are many factors that would play in.

> it’s everything around it. The culture of the company, the cicd systems, the release system, the build system, packaging, documentation , rollback, dependencies.

My point about python is that it literally _requires_ you to make up for language deficiencies (aka dynamic typing + unchecked exceptions) by testing insane amounts to even make it possible. The things that work against you at large scale, work for you at tiny scale (aka scripts).

Storage and compute separation is key to scaling data workloads. Here, scaling could be w.r.t volume/shape of data, number of concurrent jobs on the same dataset, complexity of each job etc. In such an architecture, network access is unavoidable. And, to if you have multiple jobs competing for access to the same dataset concurrently, your sequential access can turn into semi-random access. You also have concerns about utilization of resources while being scalable w.r.t arbitrary bursty contentious workloads. These are the things that make it complex w.r.t managing IO resources.

I think it's a mistake to assume anything connected to FTX or that SBF did is by default shady or criminal in nature. Like, if you found out they purchased their company toilet paper from Amazon - would that indicate some nefarious motivations?

Yes, they're criminals who belong in jail but only for the way they managed their balance sheet. They were also great builders who had awesome products and wanted to do all the great things they said they wanted to do.

Buying a bank is something probably every crypto exchange has considered doing, so they can have access to the financial system and not have to pay massive amounts of money and have huge headaches processing payments for their customers. I'm surprised Coinbase doesn't own one by now - or perhaps they do.
It's a good thing that there aren't roads in every conceivable place they could be built. My favorite places on public land are still in good shape because they take planning and effort to reach, and are only accessible on foot.
So have them propose legislation where they get rid of states and just have single government. Could even move all of the decision making in this single body. And for best democracy have all candidates in single pool and top vote winners get elected. Perfect and fair democracy where everyone has equal vote.

Technically you could even get rid of all elected members and just run some blockchain or something and vote for laws that way...
> "why is the state of education so abstract and uninspiring?" witch have a simple answer

They are answering why education is "so abstract and uninspiring", talking about the educational system specifically. Not peoples abilities. They are actually implying that people could understand if given the chance.
The official argument is that fining public institutions is a game of taking from the right pocket to put in the left pocket. It's the state fining itself. Also, officially, public servants are thought to obey the law as a matter of cause. A certain interpretation of the law can just be made an official order to all subordinate government agencies, and any civil servant disobeying that interpretation is at fault for not performing their duties and treated accordingly.

However, that all leads to the obvious workarounds: the official interpretation is usually the most lenient possible, compliance is put off to some time next century due to lack of personell/budget/willpower. And if something is found to be amiss, the data protection officer may order a government agency to fix whatever is wrong, but can neither fine nor discipline a civil servant. Because disciplining is up to the direct disciplinary superior, which cannot be (due to them being independent) the data protection officer.
I agree with the "speed is not the solution" point of view. But if you're used to your car behaving in a certain way (accelerating fast in this case) and then your subscription expires and suddenly, while overtaking someone, you realise that it's no longer behaving the same way. That could be dangerous.
Holy god what a burn! I absolutely agree though.

Actually, there's plenty of philosophical works that analyze zombie movies from various perspectives. They are still a product of human mind providing various excuses to kill humanoid creatures en masse, and we can use them as a mirror to peek behind the facade. You happened to see it without the candy wrapper of “it's just entertainment”, and the reaction was natural. In fact, trying to keep the face because “people around are having fun” would be the inhuman choice, just as the idea that people whose relatives are dying should better stay in hospitals and their own homes, and get some special “treatment” to keep others comfortable.

In the same manner, those who've seen the war may not react well the “Top Gun” style ass kicking with a happy end. There problem here is not within them.

My Model Y has a $2000 in-app purchase option to increase acceleration by something like 0.5s.

It’s not a subscription, but the idea is the same.

It doesn’t bother me one bit: I bought the car knowing full well that it wasn’t included, I don’t need it (the standard acceleration is already more than I ever had before), end of story.

Car engines have been under the control of software for decades now, with different products differing by the program. The only difference here is that there’s now the option to change the program over the air.

Nobody would have complained if Mercedes had offered 2 versions without the option to upgrade.
I'd like to remind people about the terrible working conditions in extremely wealthy places such as California too. Right now, University of California grad students and researchers, who produce a massive proportion of science on the West coast, are on strike. In most locations, it's nearly impossible to pay rent on their stipends. Grad students may be in training, but they are also the source of nearly all the novel ideas and the analysis and the basic work that goes into moving science forward. Principal Investigators these days write grants, and perhaps collaborate on the ideas and analysis, but in nearly every major paper I have seen come from a lab where I know the people well, it's the grad students at the heart of the intellectual work.

This inability to pay rent isn't as much because wages got lowered, it's mostly because certain cities decided that they didn't want any more housing, in order to appease land owners and drive up housing prices to astronomical levels. But it's also unethical to pay somebody for a job if they can't use those wages to live.

Fortunately I'm not aware of any police violence against the grad students yet, but there has been plenty of UC police violence in the past against striking workers.

This is not an identical situation to the delayed bonuses discussed in the article. But as tech heavy as HN we may not be as in touch with a workforces that get squeezed on basic ability to survive, such as assembly in China or grad students in California. (Or dare I mention the farm workers that put all the food on our table...)

I think much of mathematics teaching could effectively be gamified. Kids will spend a lot of mental energy learning, playing, and getting good at games. Games which have arbitrary rules and interactions. Games show that level of interest doesn't have to be very 1:1 with connection to reality. This is the core of math, e.g. define an axiomatic set of rules, define production rules, then set various objectives and find ways to achieve them.
