Are we optimizing for the law-abiding or the law-breaking?

If someone does <insert pre-medidated, heinous thing>, do/should I support letting them automatically rejoin society in a maximum of 25 years?

I’m not saying there aren’t problems with our current system, but I do believe that some tiny slice of humans have unfortunately proven themselves, via their own actions, to be completely incapable of living among free society and society is right to forcibly exclude them from doing so until/unless that situation changes. This might be only 1 in 100K, but that’s still thousands of people in the US alone and society has to do something with them.
Is unemployment still really low?

Job growth was less than it was originaly reported. By a lot. From 1M to just 10K.

Porsche Macan T Review: It Hits a Sweet Spot [video]
It's not really that silent though, it's just that for it to be a majority many of them aren't speaking publicly. Power companies are very much sounding the alarm that increased electrical demand generated by the asymmetrical loads of widespread EVs are not reasonably achievable. Car executives are much more reluctant to speak out because there is a lot of near term money and clout in EVs.
That’s right, no native code is shipped dynamically. The dynamic part is the layout of components and styling. Many apps use this approach and refer to it as Server-driven UI (SDUI).
Yes! Right click on the exe file and change the startup options to do a full reboot into DOS. Definitely needed for the games that were hard coded to use the first MB of RAM
Stashpad isn't quite this but it's pretty close. Focused on stream-of-consciousness style notes. Would be curious what you think.
I don't know why Ukraine is a tough pill to swallow, the US has no interest in a proxy war with Russia, no matter what the mainstream media tells you. The left fully supports this to the tune of $100 billion so far and counting. $100 billion that could be used to build up our own infrastructure, combat homelessness and mental illness, hire more teachers, etc.
I read articles like this and wonder how the people running these places sleep at night.

Yes, COW was implemented a few versions ago and the garbage collector also supports it to avoid unnecessary copying.
> Python has gotten significantly faster

All the synthetic benchmarks I've seen claim that Ruby is at least on par with Python's speed if not faster. Like this https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

But then speed in a dynamic language is often very context dependent. If I want to do Rails I won't choose Python. If I want to do machine learning, Python is the obvious choice.

> Obviously packaging for Python is still a pain but I don’t see Ruby being better

Ruby packaging just works whereas Python's is a pain. Can't see how you don't see it being better.
My opinion is that the movie is trying to show that genes have less predictive power than most assume. Administrators love easy measures that simplify decisions, but real life is way more complicated than that. So the protagonist in the movie has been able to beat his genetically superior brother and thrive academically by being creative and finding ways around his natural limitations, and that scrappiness is the core feature of humanity that makes someone successful.
It took me a while to figure out where Pine Ridge is. The local newspapers should mention that given they are all online.
Remarkable that you're getting downvoted for this. The availability of energy substrate is almost entirely the reason why there are ~8 billion people today and not just under a billion. Infrastructure wouldn't have scaled this much, and neither would have agriculture, thanks to fossil fuel; both the ability to transport and fertilize crops (see the Haber process) on a massive scale originally became possible because of oil.

Restrict the flow of energy and you restrict the growth of civilization. To some, that's a good thing, and others bad. That's not really relevant. Little of what even modern primitivists and luddites value would be possible without energy being harnessed.

And yes, energy should come from wherever it makes sense as opposed to the "money for nothing and the chicks are free" attitude the West has in seeking clean energy. In some parts of the world, petroleum will continue to make sense until technology progresses to the point where it no longer does. In other places, solar makes sense and we should go with that. Use nuclear, and use other energy tech to fill the gaps. A nation that produces a lot of sugar cane may decide to use ethanol (see Brazil). Allowing sensible choice and application of energy allows us to try many things out, smooths the transition towards future energy advancements, and improves national security. Instead of focusing on the negatives, we need to give both present and future energy more credit for what it's given us. By constantly finding reasons why a energy tech is bad, we tread water. We're addicted to the "perfect mind-state" and no-human-impact perspective, and it's created an inferior outcome. Those who dote on negatives like "But EV batteries are heavy and not energy dense!" and "But nuclear waste!" and "But it wouldn't be viable without subsidies!" and "But it's not zero carbon!" are focusing on the wrong thing.
Describing everything you identify with as a crisis seems overdone. A crisis that extends over years is hardly an emergency.

Just a side observation: Many people on HN do make money building software, yet so many users seem completely unwilling to pay for software. In some regards I do understand that, there are quite a lot of "bad companies" out there that you just can't avoid in many circumstances, but as far as I'm concerned, Obsidian seems like the good guy (for now at least).
In case you are genuinely concerned, let me try to change your mind.

Did you know that among transgender community, rate of attempted suicide is 40%? [0,1] If being inclusive of people regardless of their identity can help us mitigate that number, I believe we should do so, even if it lets three "perverts" mask their intentions. Citing three cases happening in the prison system and asking all trans women to be banned from all women's restrooms everywhere is... quite a strong ask.

Moreover, the three cases you mentioned all happened in prison, where you are already locked up and under tight supervision (supposedly). How many cases are there where such a thing happened in a general gender neutral bathroom? To argue that "we should not be respectful of people's gender identity because there is harm in to negate the overwhelming positive impacts of it", you have to show the proofs.

Glorious! So much was understood at that early time.

I wonder, was it not known that comet tails are always pointing directly away from the sun?
I'm not familiar with that, give me a link or Google search term to use so I can see for myself.

edit: actually, I think you're referring to ID laws where you have to pick male or female, correct?

I don't think that's the same as someone not wanting trans to exist at all. Not knowing a lot about this, but my personal opinion would be to allow people to choose trans or non-binary in official identifications, it doesn't seem like it would matter, but I'm not sure what the conservative objection is on this.

There's a general fear that customers eventually will realize that the Google / FB ad dollars aren't actually creating new business. These gatekeepers - the Googles/Apples/FBs/etc - can predict where consumers are about to go[1], but the total numbers don't go up.

It's sort of like the difference between coupons in the local paper, versus coupons that your ad man hands out next to the front door of your business. Everyone who gets a coupon was coming here anyway.

The dark side of this is how your business can suddenly disappear from view if you stop buying into the Web-Ad-Hive-Mind. That's way worse than the coupon guy hanging outside the front door - that's more like someone in fake construction vests putting up cones around your parking lot.

Seems like it's comparing Google's ability to be ChatGPT more so than comparing ChatGPT's ability to be Google. There's more to search than answering questions. The question/answer-format lends itself to some tasks, but not all.

For example, you cannot produce a page-long summary of say Plato's Republic without butchering it completely. The work is incredibly dense and every specific word is well chosen and layered with nuance (as hand-written books tend to be). Even a summary of this length is fairly limited[1], although sections 2-4 do a good job of highlighting the sort of points attempts to summarize the work often get wrong.

In the linked report, the organ distribution of the LNPs is given in a table that spans two pages (pages 16-17 of the PDF corresponding to pages 6-7 in the report's internal numbering). After 48 hours, only 24.6% of the lipids from the LNPs in the rodents' doses had remained at the injection site. The liver ended up with 16.2% and the spleen with slightly in excess of 1%. The remainder (nearly 60%) was widely distributed. The table has values for specific organs and tissues.
That's not true. You are looking at market cap when you should be looking at enterprise value. Toyota is $350 billion and TSLA is $380 billion.
> However, together those factors make childbirth more difficult for human females relative to other mammals. This wasn't a desirable outcome, more of a side effect.

Great! It only took them (checks revisions) 2 years to migrate the feature from the old fennec version.

Seriously though, I'm happy they are making progress and restoring the missing functionality, even if it takes them time. I still miss the dedicated "view-source" button (the feature is ready, but you need to remember the url and then write it) and the swipe to see history/bookmarks directly, but the version is now stable and most of the bugs from the early days are now fixed.

The home screen and the new tab functionality is still a mess though.
My sister's ex-husband's family tacked a "-ski" onto their surname while immigrating to avoid sounding too German. They immigrated during one of the World Wars (I believe it was the second) when anti-German sentiment was high.

80% of their revenue comes from ads, which is google search. Chatgpt and any other startup who invests in something like chatgpt can upend googles core business model.

and no, google doesn’t have anything significant in this space. “Innovation” behind search was to slowly increase no. if paid ads in your results, driven by need to increase revenue and keep the rest of the 80% of biz afloat.
If you saw any of the video's where many of the EV Chargers across the US broke (including a few of the famously reliable Tesla's) due to winter cold I think it is more than just a problem for developing nations.

Charging networks in the US need ALOT of work, and it appears the stations can not even properly report there outages as there are countless stories of charging spots being reported by the apps as operational only for the EV driver to find them unusable on arrival.

BEV's have a long way to go to build trust with cold weather drivers, and for me this winter has removed any desire I had to buy a BEV in the coming year.
"100 years ago" is a weird way to describe "ongoing harm as recently as... earlier this year."

Wood is usually cheaper if you buy it green and season it yourself, but it’s a situation where it’s expensive to be poor so maybe they buy it dried or as needed through winter.

You can burn green wood, it’ll just be harder to start/less efficient. If you have no choice…

Wood pellets are usually cheaper in summer (and often not much more expensive than firewood once you account for the higher efficiences of pellet stoves).
I mean, is anyone really surprised by this? LLMs (as I understand them today) only predict the next token based on previous tokens, so there's no actual logical cohesion to what they produce.
Also I'm not sure that every household has someone able-bodied enough to do that work.

There were agencies at the time that did not cooperate with the lavender scare[1]. Completely false to argue that no one treated gay people with dignity before modern times.

1. "The Hoey committee records also show that a small number of agency officials were initially not entirely forthcoming. Investigator James Thomas grew exasperated with John Shover, director of personnel at the National Labor Relations Board. "His attitude at the time," Thomas writes in a July 20 memorandum summarizing a telephone interview, "did not appear to be too cooperative." When Thomas proposed an in-person meeting to discuss two cases of homosexuality in the department, Shover balked. According to Thomas, "he more or less refused to receive me for this purpose and said rather bluntly: 'I am not going to let you see any of our files.'" This occasional resistance and the subtle variations of opinion evident in the committee’s records suggest that, at least at the start of the scare, each agency may have had its own nuanced stance toward homosexuality." https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2016/summer/l...

Pine Ridge has unemployment of 80-90%, median income of $4000/year, and life expectancy of ~50 years. Many people live without electricity or running water.

I don't know that people who live there say "I'll never amount to anything", I don't think any of us participating in this conversation live there; probably none of us are natives. So we're not talking about what they say about themselves, we're talking about what we say about them.

If not the legacy of expropriation, displacement, and cultural destruction... the usual explanation is that there is just something wrong with these people as people, something diseased, pathological with their culture. I don't see how that is in any way useful, or somehow more respectful of "agency".

Up until the 70s, children (children!) were still being forcibly sent to prison-like (for real, prison-like) boarding schools.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Oglala culture -- I think they have the cultural and personal resources they need to thrive if conditions are changed to make up for generations of intentional targetted destruction of their material resources and cultural life and social networks. "Social justice" would be restoration of sovreignty, reparations (a massive "marshall plan" level of physical and human infrastructure investment), an apology and general cultural recognition and education throughout the USA of native history, legal enforcement of treaty rights that have been ignored/thrown out, etc.

While it's a situation with great differences as well as similarities, New Zealand's reparative policies toward the Maori can provide some models. https://www.justiceinfo.net/en/79224-new-zealand-leads-way-r...

Blaming the Oglala Lakota people for the result of generations of targeted destruction of their way of life and ability to survive is not somehow more respectful of their "agency" or dignity.

Like, what are we actually talking about here right now? The lack of capacity of people on the Pine Ridge reservation to handle a weather emergency? How is it more respectful of agency or dignity to say we shouldn't talk about how this is the result of generations of colonialism, that intentionally removed the material and cultural resources people would use to take care of themselves? Is it more respectful of agency or dignity to suggest that they are the poorest community in the USA because of their own cultural failings? I agree that liberals as well as right-wingers can pathologize native culture, suggest that their culture is broken and needs to be "fixed", that the problem is internal -- I think suggesting that there is something wrong with native culture is what is disrespectful of their actual dignity, agency, and continued ability to survive under conditions designed for the opposite. They are very strong people, the evidence is that they are still there, and I hope they think of themselves thusly.
The goal of lang features like these is to automate the optimization especially when it is hard to do at scale without it. Scenarios that start with "If only everyone..." are great candidates.

Conversely, agreed, it's not THAT hard to convert an individual project, just being unable to handle third-party, so import-shaming some top projects can likely go far. Features that enable framework providers to empower others are great... And none is needed here. It's messy to push through type checking, but doable.

Feel like we are reliving when js got a more static module system. A lot of kicking and screaming, and still issues, but a lot of good came out of that.
Agreed 100%. Implementing the correct algorithm/business logic is more important than spitting out junk that you don't really understand or won't pass code review.

The act of writing code is probably the easiest part of my job and I still haven't really seen these tools excel at that outside of toy examples.

On the other hand, I am pretty excited for AI code tools that me why my code is shitty beyond static analysis, linters, etc.
Depends on which type you mean. In its security settings you can have a password, a key file and then a challenge response via a YubiKey or OnlyKey for HMAC-SHA1 Challenge-Response which is sort of OTP but potentially not the type you are considering? It doesn't do a fallback to email or mobile for a second factor but it can use the hardware keys.
> The relational model itself doesn't care what "values" are.

Maybe I misunderstand what you are arguing, but the relational model is defined in terms of values, sets, and domains (data types), but of course the domains chosen for a particular database schema depends on the business requirements.
Or what you're comparing is a largely successful genocide (American natives) to either a non-genocide (yeah history was mostly poverty-stricken) or unsuccessful genocides (various groups in Europe).
I don’t know how you can claim they had a great storyline when it is very clear the writers were making it up as they went. Say what you will about the prequels, at least there is a clear story arc connecting events from the first with the third.

Naturally Obsidian has a plugin for this[1].

This is what I like about obsidian. Ultimately nobody has a consistent set of capabilities they want because the whole space is pretty underdefined (exactly as the article is saying). But we still want something. So Obsidian is a kind of bring-your-own collection of features, and the mobile app works good enough too. It’s kinda like vim or emacs where people customize it however they want.

I reckon as the space evolves more clarity will appear and more opinionated schemes will become popular.

> What was last major innovation at Google.. chrome? 20% of company drives profits while 80% is a decorated R&D lab chock full of benefits, upset about cutbacks in their free oatmilk lattes, even though they’re not coming to office anyway.

This has been a major part of the FAANG strategy: crush competition by giving people who might work for or become potential competitors an offer they can't refuse. 80% of the company ostensibly produces minimal value, but the real reason you're giving them huge compensation and oat milk lattes is to make sure they don't work for, or found, a Google competitor at some point in the future.

This has led to a perpetual feedback loop: FAANG company gives their engineers big stock grants, which ensures no competition in their markets, which increases the value of their stock due to no competition, which allows them to hire more engineers with big stock grants, etc...

We're suddenly entering an era where FAANG stocks aren't continually moving upward. This is largely unprecedented territory; these companies have never experienced an extended downturn since this became the industry hiring strategy.

If the recession continues through 2023, I would not be surprised to see these companies abandon this strategy and only retain necessary talent. Would not be surprised to see 50%, even 75% staff cuts at Goog and Meta specifically.
You can configure whether the cache key includes a particular header or query parameter in a lot of CDNs. So as long as your user identify is transmitted in one of those, it would work.
