Many artists, even the big names (van vogh), had no commercial success. If you’re an artist “for the money”, you are probably not going to be very happy with the outcome.
This article does invite the question, "How best can a society maximize the potential of their untapped best and brightest?"

The first step is identifying them. Obviously an IQ test is a seriously dumb threshold. Untold numbers of high IQers have done nothing with their lives despite having myriad opportunities. (AFAIK, everyone famous only for extraordinary IQ has failed to excel otherwise, like Marilyn vos Savant.)

But the second criterion has to be: what is it about _some_ 'geniuses' that makes them disruptors and creators? That quality is surely more important to success than pure brainpower. Is it imagination? Is it independent thought?
>The last major productivity boost in software was OSS. Each of those steps was 10-100x boost but then it stopped...

I don't think this author understand what is a productivity boost. OSS is a development model, it didn't turn into any "productivity boost", any more than the general technology level (including mainly proprietary technology) offered.

The fact that you're so willing to lie so brazenly when you're dealing with an unproven and high-risk legal process is, well, I don't know, it undermines your trustworthiness somewhat -- and proves correct all the cynicism about blockchain being an industry full of frauds.

Either the land price was misreported in order to evade taxes or you're lying. Given there's a website showing that the land was for sale for £7,000 1 year ago, I'm going with you're lying -- although either option is bad!

https://www.cliveemson.co.uk/properties/228/71/

I guess the third option is that you've been taken for a fool by whoever owns the land. Do you have an independent valuation showing the land is worth more than £7k?

You can also look up the supposed seller and see that their assets are worth... well, nowhere near a million: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c...

If you can show that land is worth more than £1,000,000 I will happily buy any bridges you have for sale!
If you don't use up all of your budget for the year, it gets reduced for the next one. This is a major reason the defense spending in general doesn't go down. Nobody wants to have lesser budget, it impacts their promotions and mini political empires.

Same is true in many large organizations, which is why mass layoffs and other forms of 'shock therapy' happen every once in a while, because the way the system is managed doesn't naturally lend itself to small incremental corrections.
Clicking with Your Kin
It seems like this use case would be pretty easy to detect and disable.

There should be a way to give a fuzzy location to give you a general idea of which geo-fence you left something. Only authorized via warrant LE should be always able see exact location. You should only be able to get exact location for 20ft geofences that you have ever been in.The point of these is to find stuff you lost, not confront thieves (leave that to LE). Then you can still find tags you misplaced at your school or house or work or.... but you can't find it at a place you have never been. If your kid went somewhere new, you just have to go there and then you'd be able to see the location too.
Yup! And the “right” way to handle that bias depends on a lot of background information/subject matter experience.

If the question were “Which musical acts do you want for the Spring Fling festival?”, it might be okay—-or even smart—-to ignore the non-responders. Including data from people unlikely to attend is probably unhelpful. If you’re asking about workloads or engagement, you certainly can’t assume that data is missing at random or the non-responses are irrelevant.

For teaching specifically, one of the smartest questions I’ve seen is “How well do you think you’re doing in this course?” The crosstabs can help address response bias.
>they could have a phone if they made an app

I think this is a great way to get your kids to have a habit of self-learning. In my opinions, this is the single most important skill a kid can learn.

Every time my little cousins ask me something they want to learn, I go with "Let's search for the answer together" and guide them on how to do basic research. Sometimes I ask them follow-up questions if they find the topic interesting so it gives them a sense of accomplishment. Takes little time and effort but teaches the most valuable skill.

I saw this happen personally. I was in the interview loop along with the hiring manager, HM was not inclined but the bar raiser and other people on the loop, myself included, were inclined but as a downlevel (L7 -> L6). Candidate is hired, I start mentoring him, he gets dev-listed (aka Focus) within two months, is pushed out by month six. I can only assume the HM had an axe to grind against this candidate, and saw a H2F opportunity.
You've posed a lot of questions, which I won't address. When it comes to "focus on showing off the final product" I don't think there is anything off here.

First of all there is the professional aspect of it. People just have to market themselves to get jobs. ArtStation (its predecessors actually) eradicated the new to have a portfolio website. It's THE place to host your work.

Then there is the need for validation. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be appreciated for your accomplishments. That's just one of our needs.

Community aspect is also important. People want to get better and they want to learn from others. Showing your work and exposing it to scrutiny or inspiring others is perfectly fine.

Lastly, I've never said that we derive EVERYTHING from the process. Final result is also important. It's just meaningless without the process, imo.
How to activate your investor network
Technically yes but the maintenance crew is supposed to be notified of battery life, so as long as they're doing their job they should be replacing it long before that happens.

Also I am able to check the battery level myself inside the app. So if I see it getting low (20%) I can just cut a maintenance ticket and they'll come out and do it.

I've never been truly locked out. Maybe if maintenance and the tenant truly drop the ball that could happen. And of course yes it's an extra step you'd never need to spend cycles on with a physical key and lock. But as said, I haven't really gotten to that point in about two years of use.

> I will take it to a shop

The question is if you can take your car to an independent repair shop and do they have access to tools, repair manuals and original parts? Today, independent shops often don't have access to genuine parts and the manufacturers don't make them available on purpose so that only they can do the repair at much higher prices.

Right to repair isn't necessarily about doing the work yourself.

My 30 year old ex blue collar worker buddy who took up programming wrote something like this ... but it's too crude for HN.
The article already states why this is such an issue: The results could be correct or incorrect (the model has no idea either way), but are delivered in the style of a well-researched answer. They can also be automated, so there's tons of these deceptive answers.
Depending on the value of "whatever was planned in advance" you could potentially do both.
With all due respect, these attributes you've described are irrelevant:

- Large sums of money. Ok? Standard-issue transactional databases can transact in large numbers just fine. No problem there...

- Atomic transactions of some complexity. How does blockchain help here? It doesn't. There are other systems doing some checks, after which a transaction is committed. That very same system could just as easily use a centralized transactional database

The only advantage a blockchain has is allowing arbitrary untrusted writers to the database. Exceedingly few situations require this, and you pay a very hefty price for that feature. Acknowledging that there's an authority in your system (the legal system) means you do not need this feature of blockchains.
It's wildly precise - the coffee appears to be measured in "impulses", where a single impulse is somewhere < 5mL (if I were to guess - between 1-2). 250 impulses is juuuust enough to fill my coffee mug, but I think it varies a bit between modes.

The milk is measured in 1/10s of a second of flow, most likely because the volume depends on the foam setting.

I haven't gone as far as pushing the machine out of bounds intentionally, or even sending a parameter that's considered invalid yet.
In most systems, you can loosen your definition of "tick" pretty far—often to the point that NTP is enough. A few milliseconds here and there aren't going to matter.

Note that I'm not talking about resolving things like individual writes in a collaborative text document here (the classic CRDT use-case) where it really matters that things resolve in the order they "really happened"; but more like resolving things like the ordering of tweets in a Twitter timeline, where any assigned ordering is good, as long as it's stable (and it doesn't even really matter per se if one node's clock is running so far ahead that it's participating in the next tick rather than the current tick; those events are still valid, and will sit around until they're dealt with on the next tick!)

When you assign nodes IDs, nodes can then independently generate cluster-unique identifiers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID) that can be collated deterministically + collisionlessly against identifiers generated by other nodes; and so, whether nodes are gossiping events tagged with snowflake-IDs to one another, or are all stuffing events tagged with snowflake-IDs into a distributed data store / message queue / etc, you'll get a stable sort, and so a linear event stream.

You might not think this model has much of a use case in critical systems where the events actually get folded over to pump a state machine... but have you ever thought about how ACH central reconciliation works? ;)

> Also you still need to resolve each type of conflict (hence having CRDTs really helps) - we know there is a conflict between A and B changes, but how do we resolve them?

Mostly, this approach is used with systems that don't have conflicts. Tweets don't collide, etc.

In systems where the events might represent state-transitions that are only valid if they occur in a certain order (create X, update X, delete X), you might have your aggregation logic buffer events that seem to occur in an order that gives invalid preconditions, for up to N ticks, to see if you find an out-of-order event that would satisfy its preconditions. (I.e. buffer "delete UUID X" until you find "create UUID X", then treat it as if the event stream had the create before the delete.)

But for true conflicts between events of the same type from different writers (like figuring out in ACH which merchant-bank gets money from an account and which merchant-bank gets an insufficient-funds result), it's "first writer (per tick) wins." That's why such systems only work under mutual trust: the participants are agreeing that some nodes have permanent (or at least epochal) override priority over other nodes. If the nodes are all cooperating, that doesn't matter. (If you think about it, leader-election consensus is just this same type of system, but where the node with assigned node-ID/priority 0 for the epoch does most of the talking!)

It's very different being able to take your car/laptop to any old shop than there only being a single shop that's licensed (enforced by lawyers+DRM+tool/part availability) to do repairs on your particular brand.

Been there, done that. The US once had a huge welfare program and government built-housing.[1] It was a failure. "...problems included drug dealing, drug abuse, gang violence, and the perpetuation of poverty. ... Six of the poorest US census areas with populations above 2,500 were found there.[7] Including children who are not of working age, at one point 95 percent of the housing development's 27,000 residents were unemployed and listed public assistance as their only income source, and 40 percent of the households were single-parent, female-headed households earning less than $5,000 per year. About 96 percent were African-American."

Apple products have longer lifespans than competitors'[0]. There's just a secondary market, which is more environmentally efficient. It's a very different world, so it's understandable that people not in the Apple ecosystem see "buy a new iPad" as synonymous with "throw old iPad in trash." But that's not what happens at all. The actual devices go on being used for a very long time.

But ignoring that for a moment, are you proposing that companies shouldn't improve hardware because it leads to software features that don't work on old devices, which leads to old devices being thrown away? That doesn't feel right to me.

IMO Mindstorms is a bit more of an all-in proposition; you have to build a thing that does a thing, and then build a "complete" program for it.

I never really got into Mindstorms either, I remember I would build a thing, then use the pre-loaded programs to run stuff, but then because I was starting from zero and didn't really have an understanding of what was going on, I wasn't able to really fiddle around very much.

With Python, it's easy to get something from very little- as is seen here from OP.

> Can chatgpt replace software developer's job?

It is unlikely that chatbots or large language models like GPT-3 could replace the job of a software developer. While they may be able to assist with certain tasks, such as providing suggestions or generating code based on user input, they are not capable of the complex problem-solving and critical thinking required for software development. Additionally, chatbots and language models do not have the ability to learn and adapt to new situations like a human software developer can. Therefore, it is unlikely that chatbots or GPT-3 could replace the role of a software developer.

P.S. It may be stealing part of my job, but it's the part that I don't enjoy doing anyway.

Grays have been a significant trend for years now, in everything from houses to furnishings to cars.

In my city in the Southeastern US (and others from what I see on social media), the dominant colors for high end house remodels are dark gray or stark white. So it's not infrequent to see a charcoal gray house with a couple of putty gray cars parked out front.

From the standpoint of reducing solar heat gain and fuel/utility usage, it's a terrible trend.
I think the big difference is on Mastodon, you have way finer-grained control over what content you are exposed to. Twitter is more like one giant global state, so if there is toxic content, it can leak to way more eyeballs that don't want to see it.

Those are evidence that unrestrained spending on scientists will generate incidental, largely unrelated discoveries. If we had poured as much money over as much time into the study of ghosts and psychic phenomena, we'd be able to make a similar list.
> The thing is, this is achievable even at 10M.

$10M does get you a nice time, and you would never have to say no to any reasonable expense, but it's also definitely possible to overspend. There's some higher threshold where you really can be 'wild and crazy' and the only way to run out of money would be through bad investments.

There's a difference between always flying first class, always flying on a jetshare, and always having your plane fueled up and ready to go. Also, between driving yourself to the airport, taking a car service, having your driver take you, or having your helicopter pick you up.

The Nardo grey on Audis is what I immediately thought of, I definitely think that's what started the trend. The first car where I noticed this effect was the Lamborghini Reventon, which Wikipedia describes as "mid opaque grey without the usual shine". That was apperantly inspired by fighter jets.

I like it, although like everything it gets boring when it takes over and dominate. A bigger problem is the lack of color, every new car is some variant of grey.

Well I think the author makes a good point - the flat finish looks a lot better with more interesting colors (and more gloss). The abundance of de-saturated blues and green will age like milk.
> any worker unions were against the lowering the taxes on paychecks (higher net with same gross pay),

Seems to be quite a lot of context missing. I think nearly everyone agrees they want to pay less taxes and take home more money. Now if lowering taxes does not result in more money then you don't need politicians and unions to make that case.

I'm guessing lowering taxes would result in more expensive, privatized services and voters figured that wouldn't work.
I feel like the latency wouldn't be such an issue if they used the native iOS / android features with nfc but not entirely sure.

Yes, the plan is to let it import pictures of paper prototypes, use a neural net to interpret it and translate it to ux-source code. Then you can manipulate it and output it to other tools & platforms.
