The thing is, I grew up in a tiny town in rural Arizona. I’m amply familiar with how large our country is.

It simply does not track that because our country is huge, we must either live in uncomfortable mega-cities or in car-dependent and socially/economically/environmentally unworkable SFH sprawl. Americans overwhelmingly live in one of these two. They both have significant downsides that we truly don’t have to accept!

Americans have multiple health disasters on our hands - physical, emotional, and social - due at least in large part to the way we’ve built our living situation. It’s frankly sad that you think we have to accept it because… errr… mega cities are a bit dirty? You really think we ought to condemn generation after generation after generation of American to deteriorating quality of life because we couldn’t pull our heads out of our asses enough to build moderately sized cities with the physical infrastructure necessary to support strong communities? Good grief, what a low opinion of our country!
Kiyosaki must be up to something if he's complaining.
It works with your prompt yes, but then I tried a simple example at the end:

The solution should be "Artificial intelligence". It never gets it right.

6B in GOOG is $40,000 per employee. That's less than a year of equity refreshes for googlers.
Yes, there's a lot of propaganda pushing this narrative with the ultimate objetive of completely prohibiting any sort of alternative currency:

- Conflating crypto with exchanges, or Bitcoin in particular with oportunistic scams.

- The complete nonsense about PoW being 'detrimental to the environment'. It's sad that even technical audiences fall for this at all.

- Speculating on its price has nothing to do with the use case, which is to transfer money without an intermediary. You certainly can, but it has nothing to do with the objective so any criticism about this is disingenous.

Bitcoin (and some others such as Ethereum or Monero) just work, and and has worked extremely well for over a decade. I was able to pay for hosting and plenty other services anonymously, to circumvent local restrictions when nothing else worked, transfer money to family abroad, etcetera.

And yes HN is extremely vulnerable to propaganda due to a mixture of lack of common sense, lack of life experience and snobbery.
There is a difference between exclusive titles and acquiring studios. Sony's Spider-man game was not developed by an acquired studio (they were acquired afterwards).

Xbox could compete with exclusive games without acquiring studios to stay competitive with Sony's exclusive games, but how can Sony compete with a 69 billion dollar acquisition?
The re-routing in Waze always seems a little better than the offers in GMaps.
Indeed. I'm running Akkoma, and it was straightforward to set up and get running, unlike Mastodon.

Definitely. Talking about WoW in particular. It's less lucrative now, but they were everywhere a decade+ back. Burning Crusade to Lich King era. Spelling out the names of their websites with orchestrated corpse die-offs in big cities like Stormwind and Ogrimmar.
> There's a famous exchange between Neil DeGrasse Tyson and James Cameron about how the sky in the Titanic was wrong. Cameron accepted the challenge, and on a remastered version had the sky replaced to be historically accurate.

(Interesting comment for a number of reasons. Thanks!)
It's cool that the author is in this thread commenting too. I read the article before reading his comments in here, and "infinitely hostile" resonated with me on a personal level. I've been berated by certain friends for entertaining opinions different from theirs. It's hostility that felt unworkable to me, I don't feel like I can actually engage these individuals in conversation about topics such as cryptocurrency. I entered these conversations with some platonic notion of friendly debate where we'd share our perspectives, maybe point out where we disagree with each other, then walk away with better understanding of each others views. Instead, I felt like I got yelled at and interrupted before finishing 2 sentences, and overall I just want to avoid such an interaction again.

"Less than infinitely" to me made sense too, it's what I would've liked out of my friend on the topic of crypto or really anything where we don't see eye to eye. I don't want an "omg you're right what have I been thinking", but maybe "I don't know about your conclusions, but I'll consider what you said and maybe they'll change my mind or maybe they'll help me better form my own arguments."
I think you’re falling into an easy trap when it comes to the word “gentrification”

No individual, be it in a state or a city or neighborhood, is to blame for gentrification. By definition gentrification is a collective movement — one billionaire with a ski chalet on a private mountain in extremely rural Montana does not gentrify the entire region, nor does it really raise the property values of any home near it.

Gentrification is systemic, and approaching California’s population loss and gain through this framework explains pretty much everything that is wrong with California at a policy and macro level.

The reason for this “gentrification” at the state level would confirm everyone’s priors: the cost of living is simply too high for most people. That would be greatly alleviated by building more housing to increase the supply for the bottom 90% of people who struggle with their mortgage payments, rent, or scraping enough money for a down payment together and realizing they can buy a home outright twice the size in Texas for what is just the down payment in California.
I think we need a new form of marriage that lasts a set 20 years and then the assets are divided evenly unless they both choose to renew. Changing the last name of the woman advances the idea that she is now property of the man. Marriage is a contract and needs to be updated to fit the modern world. Of course accepting that it is a contract for companionship and sex “reduces” women's status, so since nobody will admit that truth, we can’t call it the contract it obviously is and update it accordingly. Not that I’m knocking marriage. I should be so lucky. But maybe we need to get past the ideas that A) you can own a woman and tell them what to do and that they can’t have sex with other men and B) that trading goods, money or opportunities for advancement in social status for sex reduces the value of the woman. For all the moral superiority we claim over primitive religious cultures, we have a long way to go to recognize the basic realities of human existence. The primary motivations for most people indirectly revolve around sex and money. If you take those things away, people will shut down.
AI Chatbots Are Getting Better – An Interview with ChatGPT Reveals Their Limits
Yeah after seeing how Mick Gordon's case was handled, even after Microsoft's acquisitions, I don't see anything changing with Activision either.
> 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world but maybe 80% of how you think the world works

I feel like this is silly. The daily events of my life - waking up, using the restroom, driving a car, the work that I do all day, the conversations I have - all have an extremely close resemblance to the same actions almost everyone else does every single day. My exact explicit experiences are a minuscule fraction of all experiences, but they're extremely representative of how life and the world works for a billion other people.
Understand re Rumble - please note if these vids were posted on YT they would be banned. If you desire I would suggest you look up the qualifications of said Drs on the Rumbles they are not quacks. Thank you for your references
> Sometimes it seems you can only truly be upwardly mobile if you can avoid caregiving responsibilities.

This resonates strongly with me, I can't imagine being able to move around like I do when my parents become too old
All that's US dollars, I assume. Unless you're talking Centre's USD coins.

What about the crypto side of it?
Hm, could explain why it can't play wordle:

> Give me a five letter word, beginning with e, and having third letter be t. Not including I, l, u or h.

>> etchy

> Does etchy contain h?

>> No, etchy does not contain h.

> which letters do etchy contain?

>> Etchy contains the letters e, t, c, h, and y.

> what were the criteria?

>> The criteria specified that the word must have five letters, begin with e, and have the third letter be t. The word was not allowed to include the letters i, l, u, or h.

> Does the word etchy meet the criteria?

>> Yes, the word etchy meets the criteria because it has five letters, begins with e, has the third letter be t, and does not include the letters i, l, u, or h.

Ed: note that insists that the third letter of etchy is t, not c. From what I've seen both of these errors are typical.
Whats the difference between math and a language? Its all just literals (numbers) and verbs relating them (+,-,*,/).
Maybe this is just my filter bubble (pun intended?) but since legalization, all of the people I knew who smoked weed but not cigarettes just switched to gummies.

I wonder how many people want THC but never wanted to smoke in the first place?
Related question here, do you know if they have done anything public with that data besides showing you a speed trap in real time? Like are there any summary maps of where speed traps typically occur?
But that is potentially wildly misleading given the author's position. You have no sense of magnitude.

For example if vietnam had a single crypto user, and nobody else in the world used it at all, you would have a similar skewed graph, but clearly it wouldn't demonstrate utility.
Realistically I think you're right; I probably have my conspiracy cap on too tight, but it's too perfect to me that the group of people who will soon need crypto the most are being socially incentivized to reject it now. I might have struck a nerve with the anti-crypto vibe enjoyers.
everything being on a fucking subscription is NOT a good thing. Microsoft can raise the price whenever they feel like it. They can also launch games subscription-exclusive if they feel like it. Stop trying to push people not owning things as a pro-consumer business model when it is conceptually predatory.
>In fact language literally only works because we all share it and share the meaning of it.

Most human communication is to some extent adversarial and constantly subverts the assumption of shared meaning on purpose or by accident. It's extremely difficult to "solve" because cooperative communication often appears to subvert the basic principles too.

Have you ever read about Grice's maxims of conversation? Once you think in those terms, the frequent absence of cooperation in most human conversation is obvious.

Considering Little Rock is a C130 airlift base it's pretty easy to rule that out without looking at stars.
The zealots are always the loudest members of the communities. With Rust it's the "safety" zealots. With golang it's the "simplicity" zealots. With C++ it's the "old is gold" zealots. And so on.

Just ignore the communities. Judge the languages on what they do for you.
Or we could save all that effort and just check the Wikipedia page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Plant_...
I can't fathom why they would then use Medium to publish an article like this instead of their own website.
A lot of people have said the same thing. And they happen to be right, too. Business isn’t charity.

Misallocation of resources is bad for broader society. Great for those who benefit from the misallocation though
If they feed this with human interaction based data what will happen if people start massively posting chatGPT content. Will it completely mess up the model over time as it becomes a self referential loop splitting out answers and reinvesting it’s out output?
I own a dog. You own a cat.

I say my dog is worth a million dollars. You say your cat is worth a million dollars. I trade you my dog for your cat. Then we trade them back.

We've just created 2 million dollars of daily trade volume, err, economic activity.

When looking at value stolen by scammers, what matters is not the daily trade volume, what matters is how much money was put into the ecosystem [1], and what fraction of it was stolen.

[1] Which is a lot less than 180B/day.
You are not splitting a timer between 2 files

you are splitting a service and a timer, not all services need a timer. I think that is point being glossed over

services may be called by a target, a timer, or manually. or all 3 when the need arises.

So for example if I have a process that I need to run on startup, every Friday, and sometimes adhoc I can create a single service file and do all 3, and know it is executed in the same way every time

could not do that with cron or even older init systems
It is anti-consumer if such merger and circumstance causes those games to be exclusively accessible to those with Gamepass. While exclusivity is competition, too much of it is monopoly - and there are people who study anti-trust within industries for a living, and they're making a pretty good case that this is too much.
I have no idea what calendly’s financials and growth look like and can’t say whether the valuation is reasonable, I just think they have a solid product that definitely adds value in a way that you can easily attribute to revenue or important hiring metrics.

Sure, every company has competitors. That doesn’t mean $3b is an unreasonable valuation.
This is indeed the most accurate explanation of what's happening
> Barbara Fried is not listed as the instructor for any of the courses in her course catalog next year. She wrote that this was due to a “long-planned” decision to retire and has “nothing to do with anything else going on,” in a statement to The Daily. Fried is an emerita professor, which means she has no regular teaching duties but is free to teach classes in the future.

Seems like she didn't plan on teaching anyway but that makes a great headline I guess.

I, too, will not be teaching at Stanford next year, just FYI.
There's so many HN posts about crypto with crazy long comment trees, there's no need to litigate this here. Primary sources are plenty.
yeah that part is strange. One of those has got to be a typo. Unless they are trying to point out that these are conflicting forces ?
>That gives us bullshit like loot boxes, NFTs, etc.

Valve pioneered all 3 in games, and they're still private :shrugs:
Using ChatGPT to generate phishing campaigns
I jumped on the ChatGPT bandwagon and found that it can be a useful tool to generate phishing emails and landing pages.
I used to play Age of Empires in treaty mode. You had XX minutes where you couldn't attack one another so just focused super hard on macro. Utter chaos when the treaty period ended as everyone had max size armies. Lagged the hell out of my computer. Good times

It was a fairly popular variant of the game too, never had trouble finding matches
Occasionally he will start his response with:

"Hello Venture Capitalists,"

Which reads a lot like "Hello fellow humans, of which I am definitely one of,"
Who is not grasping this? Pretty much every unprofitable tech company is doing layoffs and seems to understand the money tap is off for the foreseeable future? I guess they are expecting 0% rates at a future date and are just kicking the can down the road in his eyes?
Sure, companies follow the law because it's in their long term best interests and doing otherwise would interfere with their ability to make money down the line.
Not seen it that much, so I might be missing something, but to me it also looks to be in the "could be a feature" category. I.e. if Microsoft adds a similar feature that vaguely comes close to Office 365 it'll be a lot harder to justify.
Well it's not like GPT3 has any other way of "understanding" anything
Does Bumblebee has any significant performance improvements over the python implementation?
I'm tempted to say "they're the owners, that means they have the votes."

Which is true. And "many others" is a vapid, meaningless phrase.

However, proxies are voted in accordance with the "recommendations" of a very few advisory firms. That means that if you buy 10 million dollars worth of ETFs, all of those many, many shares are voted without your input. I'd certainly support legislation to give the "final" owners of those shares the right to vote the proxies themselves.

Maybe that's what you meant.
I’m surprised how little I hate this piece; cryptocurrency is much more palatable when it’s claiming to be the tor of money and not the future of money. But I think it downplays the extent to which the latter claim is harmful, and just how inescapable it was over the past few years.

Lots of average Joes saw a superbowl ad, put their money into a large, well-respected exchange that didn’t promise impossible returns, and lost everything! I had a nontechy relative call and ask me how she should go about selling her (literal traditional paint-on-canvas) paintings as NFTs! For a little bit there it seemed like there might be enough momentum for cryptocurrency to become too-big-to-fail before skeptics even had time to object.

It also underplays the extent to which the kind of cryptocurrency stuff techies react negatively to is still explicitly or implicitly boosting that vision. Cryptocurrency as the tor of money is reasonable but also not something that for-profit companies have much incentive to be involved with. But next
time I see a project whose target market are those living in countries with completely nonfunctional financial systems, people trying to escape authoritarian governments, or sex workers, I’ll think twice before being negative.

Celsius hearing, December 7: Custody and Withhold accounts, and a partial ruling
Reported infections per day have been between 50,000 and 100,000 a day for months. If you assume that represents a medium fraction of cases, it accounts for like 20 million people not getting bivalent boosters (100,000 * 3 * 60 = 18,000,000). There's more than 250 million people that haven't gotten the booster.
Only from a legal perspective. Most adhd meds are highly controlled substances, various forms of amphetimines and methylphenidate. In the US they're schedule II substances, so treated the same as opiate based pain killers.
I have nothing to back this up, but it feels like this has probably been the rule for most of human history, and it was just that unusual period in the 20th century where things may have been different for a while. We tend to measure everything against that period, which may someday be recognized as a specific kind of fallacy. Again, I have no data in this case, and am not going to look any up.
This is what happens next. The web becomes full of AI-generated stuff, be it art or text or whatever, and people scrape that and train models and it starts consuming its own shit and regurgitating the same kind of stuff. And then human-created content becomes valuable again, and people find new sources of inputs, etc and we go on..
Hyphenate surname couples seem to universally not worry about the dilemma that they invariably put their offspring in regarding their options for last name arrangements. What the hell do your kids do, especially considering that high odds that they will end up marrying other people who also carry the burden of a hyphenate surname? Easiest option is to just pass the buck and compound matters for the next generation; "Jones-Bass-Richards-Berg", "Smith-Stein-Lee-O'mally". Americans with hyphenate surnames will soon overtake Indian surnames as the longest in terms of sheer letter count.
Disappointing. Does not mention any of the extensive literature on the subject of innovation in pre-twentieth-century China.
There is some evidence that both thc and especially cbd are antiinflammatory, which might make it a little less bad, but yeah, all those odd and highly reactive hydrocarbons can't be good. Breathing anything other than clean air on purpose seems like generally a bad idea.
Indeed. It’s very easy to project upon text comments whatever emotion you interpret. Another well-known phenomenon. It’s why so many people find things like Slack to be so problematic for nuanced conversation.
Great work! Keep up the high productivity. Miss playing ping pong in New York together :)
Nothing is safe from competition, but I'd say Amazon making a TikTok clone is more of an instance of sticking a trendy social feature in where it doesn't belong than a true threat. It's the same driving force that led all of the companies, including the likes of LinkedIn and Pinterest, to introduce Snapchat-type Stories a couple of years ago.
Mars Rising over the Moon
HA! It's like Chuck E Cheese or Showbiz for adult metal heads.
I know a freelance translator who basically gave up their work because (1) a steady decline in requests from clients and (2) it just doesn't pay enough anymore unless you rush every job by using DeepL and cutting corners on quality.
The big thing would be disk failures followed by cert expiration. A handful of months, tops
It's also ok for you to sit down. You know that, right?

I did read the article and "use a VPN" is solid advice; moreover it's something you have complete control over, whereas the system on board the airplane is beyond your control.

Except you can just not use it, which is probably the best advice of all.
