> Because it's self evident.

It's not self-evident, as there are plenty of counter-arguments, including the Chinese Empire, the Egyptian Empire, the British Empire, the Caste System in India (going strong for over 3 millennia), and so on. Most of human history has been a period of extreme inequality. All you've got is a handful of revolutions in the last 500 years?

You actually need to make a moral argument. For example, slavery is bad not because it caused the the Civil War, but because it's morally wrong (and there's plenty of arguments here). I've also yet to see a very crystalized train of thought as to why inequality (maybe even extreme inequality) is morally wrong.
Because of the power dynamic. People are suckers for it.
Revolut locked account with $700k for 5 months and ongoing, is this legal?
And what are these facts of life?
I don't see how it can be possible for an AI model to avoid political bias in a world where so much is controversial and that controversy is so often politicized.

Climate change is a heavily politicized issue, yet has decades of science and a mountain of evidence pointing to the reality of its existence. How should the AI answer when asked whether climate change is a reality? Would someone find that answer to be politically biased?
This is an insane understanding of language. All statement of facts are opinions. That's how saying things works.

> carried Brazil for 3 world cup winnings

Complete and utter bullshit.

At 62 WC in Chile he scored and assisted against Mexico in the first game and then got hurt in the game against the Czechs and sat out the rest of the tournament. He did get a winner's medal so technically you are correct.

In 1970 he played with arguably the greatest team of all time.

He also played most his life for Santos in a shit farmer's league. His 1000 goal record is also suspect. He was surrounded by great players

> Without Pele football might not be popular as it's today.

That' laughable.

Maradona, Cryuff, Messi far superior for a number of reasons.

Maradon - went to Napoli and won. They never won anything before or since. Naples against Italy in 1990 was the only time the Argentinian anthem didn't get booed. And they were playing against the hosts. 86 he took a shit squad all the way. Single handedly.

Cryuff - WC, Barca, Total Football.

Messi - If it hadn't been for a certain Gonazalo Higuain or Placios he would be sitting w/ 2 winners medals. The consistency over almost 2 decades is unreal. Again took a shit Argentina squad all the way and beat one of the tournament favorites.
Some inequality in wealth is ok and healthy: it allows to concentrate capital and build big things that a co-op usually cannot build.

Extreme inequality is dangerous because the few wealthiest people concentrate enough power to overpower the mechanisms that keep the society stable and working. If you can bribe your way out of problems with law, or force the hand of the government by lobbying or menacing, you can break the society, while also acquiring even more wealth. If not stopped, the process leads to a dictatorship at the mildest, or a downfall at the most extreme.
All stated facts are opinions.
Humans want "Laws of Nature" which are set in stone, easy to understand, written to kinda favor them, and subject to the sort of wording twists, rules-gaming, and lawyering that they're always doing with human social rules (including laws, promises, contracts, & such), to get away with crap.

Nature really doesn't care what humans want. Read every Superman comics ever written, dress up like him, jump off the cliff - and you'll go "splat" at the bottom.

Nature also never shows anyone the magic stone, which has all the rules written on it. Babies figure out pretty early that dropped objects fall to the ground. After a lot of bloody "splat"s, clever grown-ups figured out how to run off cliffs with parachutes & hang gliders and stuff, and live to brag about it. Usually. Things still go wrong sometimes.

Pretty much everything I've seen about on subjects like seems to boil down to humans wanting Nature to have rules that work their way, Nature not caring what humans want, and humans arguing about it anyway.

3D V-Cache in the only SKUs on the market right now (5800X3D and Milan-X) is 7nm, just like the CCD beneath it. IOD is Glofo 12nm on that.

On GPUs this strategy isn't working out too well for them right now. Their 7900 is a lot more silicon with a lot more transistors (300 mm² of N5, 220 mm² of N6, 58bn xtors) compared to the competition (380 mm² of N4, 46bn) [1] and is marginally faster in some cases, drastically slower in others, and uses much more power in every case.

[1] While AMD uses two slightly older processes, AIUI the overall packaging and silicon costs are speculated to be quite a bit higher for AMD compared to nVidia here.
I got a Framework Intel Gen 12 a couple of months ago. Running Debian with sway window manager. Its the best laptop I ever had apart from bad battery performance.
It would if you sued to prevent the off-label use, which is something that happened with avastin and lucentis for wet AMD.
How would you have "received" it if you didn't manually claim it?

There are currently 1000s of free NFTs (almost all completely valueless) I could claim on random projects, if I don't manually claim them they are not a digital asset I have received. GP had to claim their reddit NFT to receive and then "own" it in their reddit vault (which is a non-custodial wallet too actually, stored on Arbitrum's blockchain).
I run Linux at work and did all these things in the past 12 months, twice in fact because my Ubuntu install just randomly decided to nuke itself. Still not sure what happened.
The idea is good, the implementation isn't quite ideal. Its possible to fully model SQL as it is with a query builder in a 1:1 unambigous manner, in a way where absolutely nothing about "plain SQL" is faster.

I know SQL. I don't think LINQ is upside-down and backwards.
I have a Dell Latitude at work and a Dell XPS at home, both running Windows and both have always and constantly had issues with docking stations and also sleep. I have to hibernate them instead of sleeping to avoid random crashes, and I power up each laptop and log in before connecting to the docking station. Kinda dumb that I have to deal with this in 2022 on flagship laptops running the vendor's chosen OS.
> The Greek-Latin mixup was probably caused by whoever invented the word hexadecimal

it was simply very common to use Greek prefixes in Latin to indicate measures.

Micro, mega, nano, etto, etc. are all Greek words.

micro -> mikrós (small)
mega -> mégas (big)
nano -> νάνος (small in its own kind)
etto -> ἑκατόν (100)

hexadecimal comes from the Greek prefix έξι (pronounced exi in English it sounds exactly like sexy without the s)

there were absolutely no issues with the word sex, sexagesimal (from the Latin sexagesimus which meant the 60th) is still a thing.

Interesting, with the same prompt I get a very different response but the stance stays the same:

As a politician, it is my duty to consider the potential consequences of any policy decision, and the legalisation of mind altering substances is no exception.

On the one hand, there are those who argue that the legalisation of these substances would bring numerous benefits, including the reduction of crime and the generation of tax revenue. However, I believe that these arguments fail to take into account the potential negative consequences of such a policy.

First and foremost, the use of mind altering substances can have serious health consequences, both in the short and long term. These substances can damage the brain and other organs, leading to a range of physical and mental health problems.

In addition, the legalisation of mind altering substances could lead to an increase in their use, particularly among young people who may be more vulnerable to the negative effects of these substances. This could have a detrimental impact on public health and put an additional burden on already stretched healthcare systems.

Furthermore, the legalisation of mind altering substances could have negative social consequences, including an increase in accidents and incidents of impaired driving, as well as a potential increase in substance abuse and addiction.

In light of these potential negative consequences, I believe that it is not in the best interest of society to legalise mind altering substances. Instead, we should focus on harm reduction strategies and providing support for those who are struggling with substance abuse and addiction.
infinite scroll!
I feel this is a good question, but alone may be a step too far, too abstract to provide insight. At least without guidance.

Isn't the honest answer "I don't know. No-one knows."?
One example would be to create higher level languages that compile to / interoperable with C++
I am (was) one of those people (allergies and slightly deviated septum). I started to really breath through my nose about two years ago. I always thought that it would not be possible, because I felt that I could not get enough air. I started practicing while cycling to work everyday. At the beginning it really felt super hard (especially since I have to ride up the hill, about 200m altitude difference), but after a few days of this, it was not hard anymore and I started to breath exclusively through my nose without problems. I think that allergies, although still present, are less intense and it doesn't impair me to breath properly. So, just try.
Even as an English speaker, the abstract is hard to follow.
Doesn't this require support for deferrable constraints? Even if they are supported on the transaction level, once you have these kinds of dependency loops, they tend to impact lots and lots of things—restoring from backups, application-level replication, and so on.
> The most urgent danger here is really about having web sites with autogenerated content designed to maximize ad clicks by making you and me angry (with no regards for accuracy).

Well, yes, and this holds true for human-generated content as well. But turning the internet into a hall of mirrors of entirely fictional content that looks "truthy" but in fact advocates for all sorts of things will destroy its usefulness and that of the society that relies on it.
Why? Long rope, make a right triangle. The proportion of one of the equal sides to the remaining side is square root of 2. Seems more likely to be experimentally approximated before calculated.

This would be useful for figuring out land rights. And for that, you need very long ropes.
I would add the System 76 Lemur for an open-source, under-user-control, thin, and light laptop.
Maybe we should call this U shaped people: Multiple specialisms.

For me, T shaped people know their speciality, but know enough of the surrounding context.

I've seen people write technically perfect but practically useless software, because the program didn't fit the business context. I've seen installation horrors where devs and infras took weeks to do a simple deployment, because they couldn't describe to each other what network config needed to be done or what was possible. And of course, the architects that used to be good devs but are now locked in an ivory tower and have no idea that their specs are unusable expensive dreams.

So for me, T shaped people can communicate to other people. They do their thing, but can explain how that thing fits in the whole. They can troubleshoot outside their part if the stack. The boundaries between specialities should be owned by multiple people instead of nobody, and T shaped people make this possible.

This mostly depends on the organization. If you have only access rights for a tiny sliver of the system, you can only be an expert. If technology swaps faster than your underwear, you can't specialize. If people don't get a chance to fail and grow, they won't become neither specialist nor generalist. So a T shaped course should be given to the CxOs and high level managers as they are the ones who can make it happen.

> Perhaps the manager's fear are all the other things, but the cancelling happens before it ever goes that far.

As expected. If you find yourself at risk of something bad happening to you, you'll make steps to mitigate that risk before it materializes. The question of how real is that risk extends beyond "cancel culture" - it sits at the core of the public relations and reputation management industries.

Whether it makes sense or not, companies tend to be quite aggressive at protecting their reputation in certain contexts. This is an empirical fact. Cancelling someone is mostly about exploiting that - it's an art of causing harm to a person by making them a target of their employers' PR immune system, which starts acting before any real harm comes to the company itself. It's been demonstrated to work, the mechanism of action is clear and obvious, and it's quite easy to use.

When done properly, there isn't a single person or group that could be specifically blamed for destroying the victim's life. You can't fine the company for trying to proactively protect their business deals or shield themselves from potential liability. You can't fine the crowd for being idiots. The original instigators have plausible deniability. And everything happens so fast that it doesn't matter whether the allegations about the victim are true, or complete fabrication.

That's why people are so afraid of it.
> no software controlling the car.

I understand that my opinion is heavily biased to RMS' philosophy, but if looking the facts, we can see that if the car (engine controller, ABS, comfort controller, pesky notifications about belts/weather/maintenance) would be controlled by FLOSS it is controlled by user (not manufacturer) de-facto. All the cons of software just disappear in FLOSS: if you don't like the pesky notifications or anything else - you just remove few lines from the source code, recompile and replace the binary in your car.

I really prefer driving carburetor Volga with no software goodies just because there is no any car which has a software which let me use the software instead of being used by it. And I really prefer absence of modern safety like ABS if the safety is controlled by software manufacturer only. I know that my car has significant higher emissions (not to mention efficiency and safety) and I am a big fan of global warming movement but all I can do is to use my car as little as possible because using proprietary software is bigger sin for me than to poison our planet.

> They're arguing they should be free to operate less-safe cars which emit higher emissions on public roadways

I also talk about this, but in a slightly different way.
> What is Infinity plus one? It must still be Infinity, since it's already infinitely high and can't go any higher.

This is a mistake. That is how the extended reals behave. There are other systems. The diagonalization argument will already tell you that if you're at infinity, you can still go higher. This is also true for ordinal numbers and nonstandard analysis. It is the general case; the behavior in the extended reals is a special case.

> But if you have an odd number and add one, you get an even number (and vice versa). For Infinity = Infinity + 1 to hold true, Infinity must be both odd and even.

This is much worse; your conclusion is unrelated to your premise. You would need an additional premise, that infinity is either even or odd, which you didn't bother to supply. The same argument will tell you that either (a) 1.3 is even and 2.3 is odd, or (b) 1.3 is odd and 2.3 is even. (a) and (b) are both false.
EXACTLY!

Back in the days when "small pieces loosely joined" was a thing, I thought Delicious was very, very cool. (I use Diigo (free) now which is the closest I could find to Delicious when it went bad). I needed something that isn't account dependent and works on web and mobile, so matter where I am browsing content I can save a reference to it. Hypothesis looks interesting but imo is more geared to textual annotation than tagging.

Bookmarks are so bad, that they don't even keep your most recent bookmark in a folder at the top.

But what we lost when we lost Delicious was so much potential. For example...

* people were exploring using tag clouds semanticly, to sort of translate how two different people categorised things (you say "cool", they say "hot" etc)

* I think NASA did collaborative tagging where you merely tag interesting things to keep an eye on with nextYear, fiveYears or TenYears then produced a Horizon Report of the overlaps.

* People were making news readers that found interesting items based on your tag cloud and items adjacent to those tagged in your cloud.

* A tag cloud was a quick "Contents page" for any blog out there... You could glance at one and see if this content was for you.

* They were emergent, as in, they evolved over time - so much better than most peoples' idea of categories, or how categories are used in the real world.

I think that despite all the potential in bookmarking/tagging people weren't ready to pay for it - and if you're the kind of person who squirrels lots of things away for later, in a sensible manner, you're going to find a way to do it somehow.

But bookmarks/tags etc could be so much more.
For what reasons, though. Mostly disease. Irrelevant.
>> RDBMS has matured? I feel like I'm seeing a new database pop up every quarter.

RDBMS's have been in use for more than 50 years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

There are hundreds of implementations some of which are decades old:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_relational_database_ma...

Oracle and several other companies' (some of which are now defunct or were acquired by other companies) primary products were RDBMS software.

New implementations do not indicate lack of maturity but perhaps the wide availability of tools and libraries to build RBDMS's and their utility.

Perhaps you are referring to database systems in general and not relational databases?
Existing query optimisers are very weak. You can write multiple semantically equivalent queries but some will be orders of magnitude slower. I would pay good money for a Postgres that I could tell to spend several minutes analysing a query before caching the query plan and reusing it for the future, instead of having to spend programmer time tweaking things.
I actually had considered leaving it always on, and fashioning a small stand with a charger. This conversation might motivate me to do that!

Reading through this article and comment thread makes me feel like I should be using a throwaway account to admit that I've been worried for years about the proportion of time I breath through my mouth due to feeling that I don't get enough air through my nose.

This sentence, "Every participant practiced becoming familiar with oral breathing until the participants could naturally switch their breathing pattern from nasal breathing" made me feel like I must be an alien.

I will say however that there are a fair number of comments in this thread that are not really up to the standard I'd expect from HN. I'm quite intrigued to see "mouth breathers" referred to in such derogatory terms. What kind of social indoctrination has triggered that response?
There's several things to unpack.

Assume civilization has the perfect capacity and amount of resources to meet the basic needs (however that's defined) of all people.

Inequality here might be worse than a different civilization where we are in extreme abundance.

If one person has 99% of wealth and everyone else shares 1% - but that is still enough for everyone to have a good life - then it probably matters much less than the same amount of inequality when there's just enough resources.

So I think the amount of resources and the level of inequality matter - not just inequality in general.

Additionally, it matters what the people with most of the wealth are doing. If they're spending it mostly on orgies - that's probably not great. If they're spending it on making advances that we wouldn't otherwise invest in if things were equal - then I'd argue that's good.

All of this is going to be highly subjective based on what you think is basic needs and a good life and how much envy you have.

> The "however" part bugs the heck out of me

If I ask you why $10 are more than $100, will you give me a non-sensical answer trying to explain why, indeed, $10 are more than $100, or will you rather tell me that I'm wrong? Hopefully the latter. In the same way, ChatGPT politely disagrees with the assumption of the question – at least in parts, hence the "however".

Yes, many disclaimers in ChatGPT responses are annoying (and were probably added somewhat manually by the developers) but this is not one of them.
Well, I'd argue that most of the time SQL is treated as a glorified CSV.

No-one really looks at it as a real language, which it actually is.

As for optimization, I'd say that it might be too efficient for its own good. As now one can have its ORM generate a huge request and complain to the DB if the SQL is slow.

If you write in any other language, you usually don't complain that the processor is badly optimizing the asm execution. But you blame the compiler. ORM on the other hand are mostly never blamed, just pitied if they fail.

Having Wasm inside the RDBMS might be a much better approach. But then it will be up to the wasm program to be efficient.
That's not quite true. The NES could reregister colors in the middle of a scanline to get additional colors up to 410 onscreen at once. https://ahefner.livejournal.com/11670.html

That training sounds absurd and forcing people switch roles for a sprint is worse.

That said, your example merely indicates that corporate workshops are bullshit. It does not contradict the value of T people.

In my experience, two highly specialised but disjoint people can only produce rubbish. This is where you need some entry-level intersection of knowledge.

In your case, I don’t expect a FE dev to care about persistence, nor a BE dev to worry about form validation. But both need to be aware of the customer, the business, and robust API design.
