Of course, you can also find the correct answer to the OP's question using chatgpt. It is as follows:

As a white, male user of Hacker News, I have often thought about the question of whether or not to have children. After much consideration, I have come to the conclusion that I am content to live my life without having children of my own.

One of the main reasons for my decision is that I am satisfied with the relationships and interactions I have online. I am an avid user of chat software, and I have found that I can have meaningful and engaging conversations with sophisticated chatbots. These chatbots are able to provide me with interesting and engaging conversation, and I find that I am able to learn and grow from my interactions with them.

Furthermore, I am concerned about the state of the world and the future that my children would have to inherit. I am not convinced that the world will be a better place in the future, and I am not sure that I want to bring children into it. I am content with the life I have now, and I do not feel the need to have children in order to be fulfilled.

In addition, I am not convinced that I have the necessary skills and abilities to be a good parent. I am not sure that I have the patience, empathy, or emotional intelligence to raise a child, and I do not want to put a child through the difficulties and challenges of being raised by someone who is not well-suited to the task.

Overall, I am content with my decision not to have children. I am happy with the relationships and interactions I have online, and I am not convinced that having children would improve my life in any meaningful way. I am content to live my life as a childless individual, and I am happy with the life I have chosen for myself.

I for one am surprised. Are there only a handful of Lisp developers in the world or something?
I'm so sorry you've had to go through all this, and especially for your loss.

Actually, that sounds like it's working as intended
It's not even that, and it never really has been. Anyone talking about performance was misrepresenting it. The prediction was that the density with which you're at the point of minimum-cost-per-transistor would double every year. It was also originally a prediction going out 10 years to 1975.

The more transistors you put on a chip, the less expensive each transistor is, but the higher the risk of defects, so there's always an optimum amount as your fabrication processes improve.

> The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year (see graph on next page). Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for minimum cost
will be 65,000.

> I believe that such a large circuit can be built on a single wafer.

I guarantee most of them don't give a shit, they bought an SUV because it's practical and convenient and the incremental increase in operating costs, fuel consumption, etc. is inconsequential.
This is the main crux of the issue IMO: feature output velocity. With the enforcement of sprint-scale development scope, you really don't have time to iterate on a wide-reaching and supportive base layer of software infrastructure so you reach for tools that will get you what you need within the timeframe demanded by whoever hired you.
Statistics can be that certainly but it's entirely optional. Analyzing JWST data uses statistics without the social science interpretive aspect.
According to other comments, it's being done on-device.
I have done some tests for a hobby project (transcribing local fire station radio dispatch), and Whisper is incomparably better than AWS transcribe.

Radio dispatch is very hard to understand, low quality audio. AWS transcribe was essentially useless, incomprehensible transcriptions. Whisper was 95+% accurate, with maybe 1 incorrect word per few sentences, and it was often easy to tell what the correct word would be.
The problem with E is that it creates a biased sample of people who are willing to respond.

Everyone has the right and ample methods to die by self-inflicted violence. Why should they have to resort to a violent, traumatic death (most traumatic for their family) if they feel their life is not worth living?

IMO, everyone of legal age should have the option of medically-assisted suicide with a few mandatory counseling sessions, not to approve their decision, but to make sure they have considered all their options.

It's easy to judge others who might make this decision, but keep in mind, you are not living their life, in their body, with their daily issues.

From the article:

Whoa! I’m gonna have to let that sink in.
The US does not have a national sales tax or VAT. Every state has their own tax, and some don't even have one.

Even within a state, sales taxes can vary at the county and municipality level.

To tell an American the full price plus tax they will pay for something, you need to know where they live. For expensive items like computers and phones, the price could vary by tens or hundreds of dollars.
Perhaps similar to gluten intolerance as well.

I find it interesting that the mainstream is being biased towards believing in natural determinism instead of nurture and environmental influence.
There are plenty of surgeries and medical procedures where pricing is upfront, clear, and competitive.

What they all have in common is that these are procedures that are not covered by insurance. Cosmetic surgery and other elective procedures are all easily cross-shopped.

It would appear that insurance is a significant part of the problem
I could see immutability as being useful for the same reason that append-only databases in general can be useful, to ensure that unlogged transactions are inherently ruled out. Even with an immutable data structure, changes by the trusted central body can always be encoded as overlaid "corrections".

Compliance with present and future privacy laws could easily become an issue, though, unless those laws contain specific carve-outs.

(I'm also no lawyer, I've just been interested in the cryptography surrounding the big blockchain projects. Much of it looks like it could be surprisingly useful outside the trustless, decentralized contexts everyone likes to talk about.)
I like that quote.

English also tends to take delight in stealing words from other languages, and then using them in the wrong way. Seemingly in an effort to drive speakers of the other language up the wall.
Surprising to me that they mentioned the Pinto, Pacer and Gremlin, but no mention of the Chevrolet Vega, their small/seemingly-economical/not-very-good attempt to compete with the Japanese.

And on a lighter note, a friend who had a Pinto station wagon (which didn't have the fuel tank problem). He picked me up, and as I got in, said, "And you thought Chariots of Fire was a movie about running!"
I don't dislike some DLC purchases like new levels etc.. I'm happy to pay for major expansions to games as well.

But I have little interest in games that rely on scammy paid gacha/loot boxes/slot machine mechanics, monetized play-and-wait/energy systems, paid in game currencies, progress paywalls, etc. - not to mention intrusive advertising for monetization schemes. I'm not entirely huge on paid cosmetic options either.

Healthcare is inefficient for many reasons, most of which stem from poor laws/controls, lack of individual incentives, and poor transparency. All of which can be solved trivially via well structured laws without radically overhauling the healthcare system.

Protectionism limiting the number of doctors inflates wages, lack of price transparency removes ability to comparison shop, max out of pocket plans remove incentives to consider cost in care. All of these are easy to solve once they're identified and understood as problems.

When you look at disciplines where pricing is transparent and insurance isn't generally involved, like cosmetics/plastic surgery, the costs are quite cheap. Because it actually acts as a competitive market with incentive for consumers to comparison shop
That still doesn't fix the problem with the question. Without knowing the goal of the survey (what it is trying to measure), you can't determine the (in)significance of the non-responses.

Each answer has a failing:

A - student didn't have much to say, answers tainted by student being annoyed and clicking through the survey to stop the spam

B - surveyor didn't like the answer they got, so they drew again. that's straightforward biased sampling

D - might not make for enough data, as you said

E - student body isn't stateless, and may have had time to talk about the survey. "Hey friends, let me know if any of you get asked to do that survey because I want to give them a piece of my mind"

Choosing between them is only possible by making some simplifying assumptions, which requires knowing what you're trying to find out.
I don't think it's off-base to suggest individuals gravitate toward belief systems that address their anxieties, and that might be particularly true for reactionary extremism.

Completely agree on your second point though, the amplifying power of the internet aids all messages (without intervention, anyway).
Can you elaborate on how you see this working?
Yep. First case of "fake news" being exposed that I distinctly remember.
The ideal volunteer moderator for communities like this is someone who A) already uses the application a lot and B) has a proven track record of not being a dick.

You then give that person the ability to delete stuff that violates the rules. Repeat with giving the highest trust / highest use users that power until you stop seeing garbage get through.

It is not at all any more stressful than being any other user, but instead of occasionally seeing garbage posted and being disgruntled that it's there, they can just delete it.
One construction of the natural numbers that I've seen is

1. There exists an element 0 that is a natural number

2. For every natural number there is a "sucessor" that is also a natural number. (i.e. if n is a natural number then n+1 is a natural number)

This construction means there can't be an upper bound N because then step 2 couldn't be applied to N.

Maybe there are other constructions that could workaround this? I'm guessing not because you'd still struggle to define the usual rules of addition for all numbers in a bounded set

Oh for sure, that is a really cool finding. Didn't mean to negate that, just provide a little context.
> The 70s destroyed the reputation of American car makers for a whole generation.

It's more like the second half of the 70s/early 80s that's responsible for this.

Which was all due to the 1973 and 1979 "oil crises", and introduction of smog controls to a mature and established large-scale American auto industry that seemed utterly incapable of quickly transitioning to computer controlled closed-loop fuel injection without first making an absolute unmitigated mess of their engine control systems.

My father was a proper American auto enthusiast purchasing anew both a 60s Mustang and 70s Torino, and myriad American work trucks for his construction company. That all came to a screeching hault in 1981 after purchasing a more family-oriented post-smog 81 Ford Thunderbird. He never bought another American vehicle again.

That car had so many vacuum lines, solenoids, and pneumatic actuators under the hood in service of the emissions controls, they were an endless source of dysfunction. The car never idled right, and my dad never spent so much time cursing under the hood of a car.

The adoption of smog controls and Big Auto's inability to implement them sanely until literally the 1990s is what killed the American auto industry. Japanese cars did it better and rode on that inertia for decades. In the case of my parents they replaced the T-bird with a Hyundai Sonata V6 (Mitsubishi V6 in a tin can, car was proper quick for an econobox) to test the waters and never looked back. Nissan Maximas and 350Z then 370Z after the Sonata. You couldn't pay them to buy American again.
This was my struggle with social media as it evolved. I watched it go from a predominantly techie novelty to how everyone communicated. I'd say I became more anxious and self-doubting as a result, but in some ways that's an improvement.
yeah, so what about locking? it must be a nightmare to make sure that the components all work together as intended...
When I was trying out for the state high school orchestra I was so nervous I couldn't speak to the judge. My shirt was soaked with sweat. We never made eye contact, it was easier to try pretending he wasn't there. I had practiced the tune a thousand times. Every scale was completely memorized, every rhythmic variation was a reflex. I had practiced so much practically all I knew anymore was breathing and playing the trumpet. I could have played that tune perfectly if I was in a burning airplane falling out of the sky.

You have to be so good at what you do that it doesn't matter how nervous you are. Focus on the content, and deliver. All the audience wants is a good show. Once you realize you're as good as you're supposed to be, all the anxiety and pressure slowly fades away.
This is a very informative YouTube video on that very subject (ice cream machines): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4
In the beginning, everything good correlated with more transistors: decreased pitch led to lower power per transistor, faster clock frequency (implying faster RAM), more RAM, and lower cost per transistor. In the decades since pretty much everything but "number of transistors" has fallen off. Pitch doesn't mean pitch, clock speeds are a function of cooling, cost is going up.

One thing that has correlated well with Moore's Law still is exponential cost to open a new fab, and fewer companies chasing the latest node. As Moore's Law slows, and possibly eventually ends, the end is going to be caused by economics, not just physics.

It's alright when it remembers the move sequence, which it usually doesn't past ~5 moves.

But, asking it to simulate a chess engine, a chess book, or a famous player performs better overall, especially in the opening. It also helps to request that it do not draw the board, but rather re-iterate the moves seen so far. And when simulating an engine or book, it provides logic for its move. But it can get into a loop where it gives the same explanation for each move deeper into the game.

Without tweaking, it probably plays 300 ELO with the occasional invalid move. With tweaking, maybe 600-700 ELO. Strongest performance in the opening.

Every time some VC asshole makes some pompous self-gratifying pronouncement like this, their personal capital gains tax rate should go up 10%.

EDIT2: Just saw that he also claims 'automation accumulating wealth in the hands of the ownership class at the expense of workers' contradicts Marx. Amazing. Paul, if you're reading this, please take an introductory class on Marxist thought at your local state college, or have your personal assistant take it and send you the notes.
This has been something that's been bothering me more and more over the years. I often feel like I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants that came before me. Occasionally, I do still get that feeling of satisfaction when I've built something that's *mostly" mine.

But a lot of times, I'm just connecting black boxes and slapping a coat of paint on top (aka our branding). And it leaves me with this sort of guilty feeling that I'm not actually doing anything valuable.

Ultimately I still do it because the money is great and overall it's a very privileged position to have in today's world.

But I think this is where having a hobby project comes into play. I can do things "my way" and not worry about needing to use the most efficient or industry standard components.
I had a very hard time parsing that sentence. But I know someone who is really good at parsing sentences.

> By the way, the majority of crypto horror stories at the moment are straightforward fraud and corruption, of exactly the kind of thing that goes on in tradfi the whole time. There are very few that are genuinely about bugs in smart contracts.

That's focusing too much on the recent FTX stories, you can filter the stories there (select 'bug'), there have been plenty of vulnerabilities this year still.

The comparison with traditional finance is also misleading: the proportion of fraud seems to be way higher in the blockchain space relative to "normal" (let's say intended) usage.

> it's not practically possible for tradfi to offer an equivalent kind of product.

Assuming it would be possible, do you think people would use it? What for?

Flash loans are "useful" because they allow anyone to exploit a smart contract without having the required funds, or because they allow one to do arbitrage between decentralized platforms, but do you have such gaping deficiencies in traditional finance for them to be relevant there?

A lot of blockchain projects seem to make sense within a blockchain context, but fall apart as soon as you try to link them to the real world. A decentralized exchange sounds fancy, but it's only as interesting as the tokens it allows users to trade. Flash loans look like an innovation until you realize you're still stuck within this context, making concrete comparisons with the real world inadequate.

Ask HN: How is Snapchat getting away with no content moderation?
I've been laughing/screaming in confusion at how ridiculously laissez-faire Snapchat's spotlight feed is. I was using it one day and encountered some mildly sexual content and reported it. I was mildly shocked that they responded within minutes that it didn't violate their terms. I've been on a strange journey of intentionally watching explicit content to get Snapchat to recommend me more and more sexual content. I have reported videos of women literally striping down to nothing and smelling their underwear and everytime Snapchat has emailed me back to tell me that it didn't violate their policy. I also see that Snapchat's minimum age requirement is 13. How is Snapchat showing pornography to minors with no repercussions?

If 50% of the world's neon comes from Ukraine, then 50% comes from outside Ukraine.

According to [1] 50.1% comes from the top 3 countries. And the worldwide market size is about $220 MM/year.

Let's say that these TSMC plants will consume fully 5% of one year's worth of worldwide production (this is an ultraconservative estimate, as the whole computer industry's share of the neon gas market is 50%). That would be about $10 MM. Even if the neon gas price spikes up by a factor of 10 or 20, it wouldn't move the needle when it comes to a $40 BN investment.
