Context matters. If you’re going to be scaling huge, this advice is silly. If you’re just starting, or planning to rewrite later, or for good reasons never expect huge scale, staying as simple as possible makes sense. Also, tons of devs build to scale huge for systems that will never, ever scale huge.

I have two competing values in this space: someone else has solved problem x better than you will, and you will live to regret every dependency you introduce.
Have you seen Flutter?

No, it’s not.

It’s certainly not harder or more complicated than the OAuth protocol used support Google-based sign-in.

Exactly what unique value do you believe these big companies bring, exactly?
No one talks about it because it’s too ridiculous to be taken seriously by anyone with credentials
Car, house, selling/buying land etc.

Mostly coz many banks take % cut on big money tranfers so taking it out and just giving it to someone in a bag is sometimes tens of thousands cheaper
Ethanol can be potentially carbon neutral, given a ton of terms and preconditions.
Going back to the Dartmouth College case:

In the opinion for the Court, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that by establishing a corporation, Eleazar Wheelock had created “an artificial being, invisible, intangible, and existing only in contemplation of the law.”

He explained that “by these means, a perpetual succession of individuals are capable of acting for the promotion of the particular object, like one immortal being.”

(Also, by the way, corporate personhood is nothing new.)
> The monthly gross MEP salary, under the single statute, is €9,386.29 (from 01/01/2022). It is paid out of the Parliament's budget. All MEPs pay EU tax and insurance contributions, after which the salary is €7,316.63.

First result on Google for MEP salary. Where did you get the 22000 from?
A closed standard is not a standard. That's it. It's a document of little to no relevance that may as well not exist.
This is literally the first thing I asked chatgpt when I started using it last week "what happens if you replace every part in a ship, is it the same ship". The second question was what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, both replies with the reasoning were pretty good imo. For the former it said it would be a new object as well.
I would have closed nohello.com without reading.

I don't have time to wait for their fancy scroller at the top of the page before getting to the punch. A page with so many sections, you have to read it all to know what the point is.

The OP realizes that you should not waste time on a fancy hello, but get straight to the message.

People won't for precisely the same reason Electron became so popular: managing multiple platforms is tiresome. Write once, run everywhere is still the dream.
I also use flamegraphs. And log files. And stats (duration, counts, memory, etc). And a debugger, microbenchmarks, htop, {io,vm,net}stat, human behavior (Steve's code tends to have this sort of problem), dead reckoning, educated guesses, staring at the code, and even on occasion brushing my teeth, going for a walk, or washing my hair. Getting the job done in spite of bad signal to noise ratio from tools is just part of the job description - for a very senior person. The SNR for flamegraphs is dropping, doubly so for junior and mid-level developers. And as I said in another thread a few days ago, we're also hiding data in 'modern' perf tools, which indicates to me that even the tool writers are missing some tricks. These days it's just easier to bump the cluster size from 18 to 21 machines and move on.

Extremely appropriate username.
I know someone in England who paid for their houses construction by going to an ATM and maxing out the cash withdrawal per card, putting the cash in a bin bag, and giving it to the builders on a daily basis. I don't believe it'd be realistically possible to stop this from occurring.

Ask HN: Posting YouTube Videos to HN?
Of everything I contribute to HN I think I get the most negative feedback about links to YouTube video that I submit as posts or as part of comments.

There are many reasons people complain. Some think anything having to do with Google violates your privacy and is part of an "evil" advertising economy. Some find videos on YouTube to be obnoxious vacuous content the way I find image memes on Reddit are. Another is "why are you making me watch a 45 minute video to see a point that I could read in 45 seconds in writing?"

What I find most remarkable is that many people find the links don't work for them. I think that is because a lot of content with clearly identifiable copyright (say a music video or the intro of a television show) is identified by Google, which has a deal with the copyright holders to pay them advertising revenue for viewers in some geographies (like the U.S.) and block the video in other geographies.

One could make the case that a lot of that stuff is trivial but I still think there are independent Youtubers such as Techmoan, Technology Connections, and Anna Psychology that could be of interest to the HN community.

What are your thoughts?
I was wondering that. I'm not sure.

If there is a hole, the things that matter are the outside pressure and resistance to water flow. The latter is mostly viscosity I'd think and very little to do with air pressure on the inside. Whereas water pressure is 3x surface.

That said 19m is really not that deep, I don't think it would be dramatically different to a leak closer to the surface. Some ships have draft of like 15m and, while generally holes in hull are bad, I'm not sure that this is some kind of special design precaution. But I wouldn't really know.
Several 10s of TBs of writes over a few months is literally nothing to be concerned about for any recently modern enterprise ssd in a production setting.

> Can you name one practical reason to pay more than 10k cash?

Have you ever bought a used car? Or played relatively high limit at a casino?

It’s perfectly normal to take 6 figures cash to a casino if you’re playing high stakes poker, for example.

And there are plenty of other reasons.
It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me that everybody is ignoring the relevant difference between Unix™ and Plan 9: Unix source code was given away (or cheaply licensed) to hardware companies which all wrote their own operating systems on top (SunOS, Ultrix, HP-UX, etc. etc.). This made Unix the common factor of very many commercial workstation environments. Plan 9? It was sold directly as a commercial product, for no hardware platform in particular. Nobody wanted to buy it.

People liked Unix because it was free – either really free, via BSD, or as a Unix derivative provided at no cost when people bought their workstations. A new revolutionary operating system had absolutely no reason for anybody to buy it: No commercial developers wanted to develop to a platform without users, and no users wanted a platform without software.
> A perpetual bond has a finite present value.

You are onotologically correct but epistemologically confused.

In the first order, bonds are just contacts that are fungible enough to trade.

In the second order, we have markets for them which arrange prices.

In the third order, based on the practice of those markets and theorizing about them, we can up with temporal discounting and thus a way to assign finite present value.

----

> It's no more or less exploitative than a bond with finitely many payments and the same present value.

And where was it said that the exploitation of the bond was solely a function of its present value?

My complaint is not with present value. I am aware of these things. My complaint is with the nature of the contact in a way that is not captured by present value.
> Asynchronous signals have a lot of the same problems, but those problems are also present in single-threaded programs. Quite a few APIs have been added over time to try to make working with async signals easier and safer, but all of them add their own new gotchas.

Isn't this referring to uses beyond what async signals are good for, or are you saying that async signals should just not exist in favor of something else? It's not like they're meant to be the only IPC mechanism, but they're good as a standard way to inform a process of certain things while having default handlers.

You mark number 4 as Pethera, but in the image/poster it is Methera. Is there a discrepancy?

Good post btw !
Valid info. I have not considered it. Economic status and size are factors in female attraction. Asians are generally higher in economic status, statistically speaking, and latin americans are generally poorer and smaller in size so they are more comparable in stature to East Asians. This makes logical sense to what I already know. However it doesn't invalidate the German Sheppard theory. North Americans are generally larger than East Asians and the wealth gap is not as large.

Still all of this is besides the point. Without knowing the latin american thing, my conclusion and theory is valid in terms of the probability of being true. But people dismiss it because of bias, not because of evidence or logic.
Sounds great except it takes 10x as much time to read/write the Haskell code versus C++.
They have 2 data points for Haskell since the one of the authors wrote a Haskell one which happened to have the fewest lines and highest documentation to code ratio.
Research has shown that many type-2 diabetes patients can put their disease into remission, or at least reduce the need for exogenous insulin, through nutritional ketosis.

It's unknown whether that would reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Worth a try anyways.
This website does not have any information about owners or legal entity behind it. Who is running this? What is their physical address? Where are they registered?

This is really honest question.
How can anybody trust that company x care about privacy without even know anything about company x?
A human develops real intelligence over say 20 years. It doesn't spend all that time learning how to string words together. It spends the time actually understanding what things are, how they relate to each other - stuff that doesn't exist as words.

It doesn't understand what it is saying.
> Profit driven, but available literally for free for an account and transfers (depending on the bank).

So not for free. It would be one thing if banks had to guarantee those transactions being free but many banks want % of transaction in fees
It's kind of amazing how thorough this particular area of reconstruction is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_numerals

For employees under such rules, it certainly is a notch closer to slavery. I would guess the vast majority of people on this site are not under such rules.
Some people love ironing. My brother irons while he watches baseball. He says it's Zen for him. I myself hate ironing. I used to stop by his place with my shirts and he'd iron them for me.

Yes, they should be. Bonds-only is a great system.

There is far too much inertia/permenance in development currently. Lot's of empiracle research like https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/missionaries-human-capital-tr... on this.

This is a design flaw. We should design economic systems that have less permanent state to remedy this.
I grew up in a time where there was an excess of workers. Some not particularly desirable minimum wage jobs that I interviewed for as a kid had upwards of 25 applicants or more. Two or more rounds of interviews to land a job as a grocery bagger.

My parents who came of age during the great depression thought that my generation had it easy ;<). My late father had to beat out 200 applicants for his first corporate job after college in 1946.
I don't think you read my comment or the article carefully. The extreme end of that article, giving up all your identity is my "sick mindset". That is the ultimate conclusion.

You might as well not comment if you're not going to read anything. I don't care for you comment otherwise. Better for you to start actually thinking and stop mistaking that for "over thinking", because your reply indicates you haven't.
Don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good.
Since TFA is from 2016, it's pretty silly to discuss about trends here isn't it? There's certainly no less JS today, except due to being there less web sites in the first place.

What's with this htmlx shilling anyway? If you want an app, just use JavaScript; what's the point of arbitrary syntactical barriers between page content and logic, except for maybe CSS done by UX experts - though if you're bad at CSS then why tf are you into web frontends anyway?

If OTOH you think about content-heavy sites, document-oriented workflows, and publishing (ie. what the web was originally made for) then just use a competent markup processor. HTML is based on SGML after all, giving you templating, markdown processing, stylesheets, pipelines, toc and search indexing, and whatnot; there's a wealth of SGML/XML-based tools available.
In many of the places that are the hardest to build in, like California, they are intentional. Those regulations were out there to slow down development as much as possible. The motivation behind doing so varied some; sometimes it was hippie’s concern about the environment, sometimes it was homeowners seeking to protect the character of their neighborhood, and sometimes it was the latter masquerading as the former. All of it was intentional.
> Doesn't this also involve people not having another category aside from "cognition" to put natural language processing acts in?

Yes, of course this might be an even more primary reason; do not attribute to malice what can be explained by laziness. However, AI researchers should be wary of their language, that point is hammered in most curricula I have seen. So at the least it is negligence.

> I mean, there's a common counter argument to the "this is not cognition" position. That is: "you're just using 'cognition' as a placeholder for whatever these systems can't do".

Very valid point, but we know current deep learning mechanisms do not mimick human learning, language understanding and production in any way. They are far too simplified and specific for that.

Neural network activation functions are a far cry from neural spiking models and biological neural connectivity is far more complex than the networks used in deep learning.
The attention mechanism that drives recent LLMs is also claimed to have some biological similarities, but upon closer inspection drawing strong analogies is not credible [1]. computer vs. human visual recognition tasks it falls apart and higher-level visual concepts. [2]

Yes, that was the point. That the price of healthcare isn't based on the wages of the nurse.

It's not that difficult to roll your own secure auth, this website is halfway there. Add TOTP and Webauthn and they're basically done (there's plenty of good libraries out there for both).

They also really should switch from bcrypt to something more modern like argon2, but bcrypt is a lot better than the unsalted MD5 I've seen in a lot of places.
The Upside of Feeling Small
The page you linked to clearly states that "open source means that sources are available to the end-use, that's all" is a misunderstanding:

> However, the obvious meaning for the expression “open source software” is “You can look at the source code.” Indeed, most people seem to misunderstand “open source software” that way. (The clear term for that meaning is “source available.”) That criterion is much weaker than the free software definition, much weaker also than the official definition of open source. It includes many programs that are neither free nor open source.

Stallman then advocates for the term "free software", which he says would avoid this misunderstanding. A more comprehensive summary of the history of the terms "free software" and "open source software" can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_terms_for_free_sof...

According to the FSF, the only software that is open source but not free is "tivoized (tyrant) devices" which "contain nonfree executables made from source code":

> Among all programs that are open source, only a minuscule fraction are not free. If the bottom row were drawn to scale, its text would have to be in a tiny font, perhaps too small to read.

Maybe that’s the point though - maybe we should kill some lifestyles because they aren’t sustainable at scale.
Tax the large companies properly first, then come after the little people.
You have to analyse at the population here; capital controls are useful for preventing people who have accumulated sizeable asset holdings in country X from moving them to a jurisdiction Y where there are effectively no taxes. Of course this reduces the freedom of the people who control these assets, but there is a common fallacy (usually introduced by the very same people) where they claim that liberty (in the abstract, without the very important qualification that this is _their_ liberty) is being surpressed while not noting the very important fact that _they are the most powerful members of society_ and that preventing them from moving their assets means that a whole lot of good (social welfare) cna be done for other people, without substantially impacting the material qualiy of their lives (the wealth/"improves my life" is pretty logarithmic IME, e.g. moving from 20,000 EUR -> 30,000 EUR of income a year makes a huge difference, moving from 30,000 EUR -> 130,000 EUR still makes a big difference, but 130,000 EUR -> 1 million EUR probably does not bring a concomitant increase in happiness).

I think this quote from Paulo Freire is pertinent

> The former oppressors do not feel liberated [once the people with less power than them are given more]. On the contrary, they genuinely consider themselves to be oppressed. Conditioned by the experience of oppressing others, any situation other than their former seems to them like oppression. Formerly, they could eat, dress, wear shoes, be educated, travel, and hear Beethoven; while millions did not eat, had no clothes or shoes, neither studied nor travelled, much less listened to Beethoven. Any restriction on this way of life, in the name of the rights of the community, appears to the former oppressors as a profound violation of their individual rights – although they had no respect for the millions who suffered and died of hunger, pain, sorrow, and despair. For the oppressors, 'human beings' refers only to themselves; other people are 'things'.
Repeatedly taking out the daily limit seems like it would attract some additional attention.

No clue, but I will tell you as a property developer myself I would love to build more, faster. Everyone I know in the business would love to build more as well.

Time from project to building permit here in Lisbon can stretch to two years and vast tracts of land close to infrastructure are considered unbuildable by the municipality for no good reason. Also consider that developers need the government to work with them on roads, subways, sewers and others to be able to build.

In large parts of urbanised Asia where building more housing is encouraged this problem does not exist.
In this hypothetical, the people that can't just absorb it are in the group getting paid more.

The paper discusses how these models operate and state that they're only predict next series of token while somehow human intelligence works otherwise. The marxist ideology has the law of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa — which was formed in 19th century and performance of these models is just another proof of it. I would argue that _emerging_ mechanics in AI models that we see with increased size of models is no different than how our mind works. It's about emergence of intelligence in complex systems — and that a materialist worldview central to the science.
The latest development in AI are very cool, but a big lure in my opinion.

You have two options:

1. Work full-time for companies doing this state-of-the-art stuff (OpenAI, Meta, etc.)

2. Work full-time for a (good) AI company that is doing interesting AI work, but most likely not based on GPT/SD/etc.

In both cases, you will learn a lot. Anything else seems like a costly and dangerous distraction to me.
