fwiw I really like the color schemes on the marketplace. Kind of a modern dark neon vibe. But would be cool to select from a list of "moods" or "themes" for someone who doesn't have an exact color palette in mind, more of a vague idea.

> A Linux-compatible kernel under a BSD license is intriguing :)

> Jokes aside

If you just were. That project uses indeed a BSD license. Isn't that making it unnecessarily hard on oneself as one then cannot 'borrow' Linux kernel code, including drivers?
But how do you tackle creation of objects, call malloc everytime?

And how do you for example, create an array of objects, like one can easily do in c++?
It would make sense to allow a risk-averse utility function in our framework (say a concave function of total dollars at the end).

I don't think the identification "volatility" = "standard deviation" = "risk" matches anyone's actual preferences. So that part doesn't make sense to me.

But I like your example with the medical treatment. That could be modeled with a step utility function. Mixing it with my example, there'd be no problem choosing my Asset 2 or 3, since both guarantee that your capital will be preserved so you can pay for your treatment. If your utility function were truly a step, you'd be indifferent between Assets 2 and 3. More realistically, you'd assign minus infinity to values beneath the threshold and some monotonic function to values above (e.g. just the number of dollars), and you'd prefer Asset 2: It guarantees your medical treatment, which is what you really care about, but it throws in a free lottery ticket, so why not take that.
I recently started reading the The Years of Lyndon Johnson and desperately want to see the documentary mentioned in the article, Turn Every Page. Alas, it doesn't seem to be playing anywhere near me [1]. Maybe other people reading will have a chance.

Wow, that's going to teach them a lesson! A whole $8.5M - That's literally only 23 minutes of 2022 revenue lost (I did the maths). I'm sure they will never do it again, despite the fact that they likely made way more than $8.5M from doing it.

If we want companies to stop doing illegal things, then the punitive consequences need to be so high that they prioritise not doing it. If a person steals $100, they could spend a decent amount of time in jail for it. Time that is worth a lot more than then $100 benefit they received. Companies want all the benefits of being a "person", so let's apply the same principles to them.
I love the turn of perception here that’s being acknowledged out loud finally. I have a feeling HN would have buried this sentiment around 8 years ago a lot of folks here were busy fracking as hard as they could. Our capitalist system in America in general feels exceptionally worn out with guards placed at the gates to any real innovative work.

Having grown up in Cupcake Land it’s still accurate.

A sizable proportion of the kids I went to HS with are living exactly this life, dressing exactly this way. I found it to be incredibly stifling and yet also, a comfort to be so boring.

I’ve never heard it described as Cupcake Land, but “JoCo” or Johnson County. Inside of which it’s residents referred jokingly to other adjacent counties as being “North of the Wall”.

It is one the starkest contrasts in county and school district wealth vs neighboring areas.

I don’t think a bust is coming to Cupcake Land this time. Sitting on multiple big rail lines, I-35, I-70, and the Missouri while reshoring is happening. Tied closely to healthcare, but not the tech industry.

Cupcake Land is sounding rather attractive.
The main difference between MakerDAO/DAI and Luna/UST is that Maker doesn't accept their native token as collateral. You have to use collaterals external to the protocol which won't inflate in response to where DAI is relative to a $1 peg.

In contrast, UST only had LUNA as collateral, and ended up minting more and more LUNA as UST fell off it's peg.

That's not to say that DAI doen't have it's own risks as they have a lot of potentially censorable USDC as collateral, there could be situations where they can't liquidate borrowers fast enough if a collateral falls in USD price too fast, and they run their own oracles which could fail or misbehave. Not to mention the DAO has a fair amount of governance drama on a regular basis. But those risks are quite distinct from what took luna/ust down.
> It’s been more than a decade and it’s still not that cheap to short crypto

Is not true, you have been able to short in derivatives markets for ages and frequently get paid for it.

> I am 100% convinced that’s by design.

Nothing about crypto prevents to one entity from lending to another at a rate of their own choosing.

But is that assuming that content production will continue at its same pace? Unless it was an AI-focused article, it probably wasn't accounting for the changes we're going to see.
> I think your average stereo is going to have a substantial problem with any kind of orchestral music.

Indeed. The impedance difference between a live instrument vs a general-purpose reproduction system is almost always going to be fantastical. Just think about how loud a person's voice can get.

20 watts of power into a live brass instrument is going to require something like 500-2000 watts worth of typical audio gear to approximate at reference volume without much distortion. There are specialty loudspeakers designed to more closely approximate certain elements - which can reduce these power requirements - but then you are forced to make all kinds of other weird tradeoffs.
You are correct that stolen vehicles go onto the priority list to help recover them and most people, especially if your vehicle is one recovered relativity undamaged as a result, are completely OK with that part. If it's wrecked, you're going to be less happy.

However, the UK has an extensive police ANPR network throughout the country (at least 13k cameras) and these, like all policing databases, operate under the blanket exemption in data protection laws for "policing purposes"[0]. There are regulations surrounding these systems, but they do not stop the dragnet surveillance enabled by ANPR.

Every vehicle passing is recorded (55 million records added per DAY) and stored for a minimum of 1 year[1].

You can also generate an infinite amount of quasi-educational text adventures by prompting it with a historical or fictional setting. Give it a piece of classic literature and it will try to come up with something on-theme.
Code (second edition) is excellent, just excellent. I read the first edition when it came out and it helped me contextualize the entire chain of how computers work. I've gotten rusty on that over the years, and I'm really enjoying going back through that and freshening up.
Right, this is a very opinionated interpretation of the result and I'm not sure if I can agree with it.

This manual distinction are performed without a equivalent study and are just assuming people will cope fine when it happen.

In fact in the Calhoun's study mice did continue to live, they just chose not to start families - effect that are already seen in lesser degree in much of the world.
Those are all hobby jobs… they earn enough that the person can continue their passion project but that’s about it. I’d be surprised if all of them were even making minimum wage since they are self employed
Sometimes. But in a rails app, and probably any app using an orm, transforming database rows to activerecord objects makes the cpu go brrr. And thats all ruby code. A port of AR to rust would be amazing, but idk how feasible given all the metaprogramming.
Absolutely, especially as it feels like the "competition is for losers" people are completely running the show these days.

Do it and post it on here. Just be prepared to be flagged a lot.

Is there a trick to get output like this? I have been trying out the different models/sites/oss setups when they show up here and I get _nothing_ like this. I dont even get the images others use as examples. I felt like I am obviously doing it wrong. I try example prompts and prompts people suggest they used and I still get images that are as bad as if I tried to make them myself. To me this is crazy and almost unbelievable that it was generated, mostly because my experience has been completely opposite. Im on the fence about the artiest debate, but seeing this, I think its more the ones that keep their jobs are the ones who gain a new skill as prompt artiest*. To me that seems like a very valuable and real skill going forward.

> You're arguing the semantics of a monopoly,

Yes “words mean things”.

> When Apple buys components from a vendor, they have less market power. When they build their own components, they have more market power

So now you’re saying a company shouldn’t be allowed to build and design their own components? Doesn’t it help competition that Apple, Microsoft, Google, Qualcomm, and MediaTek among others are creating and modifying their own processors?

> Which means small companies have limited access to ARM CPUs.

Any company can buy an ARM processor from Qualcomm and MediaTek. Have you looked at all of the phone manufacturers who sell in China and India and even the US?

> Those of us who are interested in competitive markets worry about it a lot. You don't have to be worried about competitive markets, though. It's totally valid to not think increased competition is a good thing.

Every market you mentioned has a competitor that third parties can go to - ARM chips, delivery companies etc.

It's....er....full of terrorists here, portions are only half, there's a war 24 hours drive away, our politicians are not our representatives [apparently], we speak different languages and even dialects, clothing sizes are really fucked up - your XXXL might be hard to find - amazon is delivered by disabled people only, one part of Europe uses different money and a new part of Europe just got the same money as the rest of us, putting a big flag of 'your' country outside your house is seen as a bit odd (dickmove) unless the world cup is on, 'world' usually means just that when it comes to sports, our paper money denominations are different sizes so we can't fuck over the blind, we use the metric system (mostly), Piers Morgan and John Oliver come from over here, we have kings and queens -still, no 2nd amendment rights, pay is shit and we're all communists because a doctor will treat you after a more urgent case even with a gold AE card, but you don't have to pay much in the end so that's communism, too. In Holland, if you don't have a bicycle they fine you, in Finland you have to buy moose-knuckle-fish and in Spain if you're awake you absolutely have to report to work at least once a month unless you're french and then you can just set fire to it, unless you're italian and then everything is debatable, anyway. Until it comes to the Germans. Their vehicles, though technically 'superior', are indicator-free and, much like an actual Panzer, are free to go where they want, unless an Audi is involved. No-one cares for VW anymore, which is ironic, but real Europeans don't really get irony, like yourselves oh crap now I'm starting to sell the damn place. Er.....no guns!

OMG, that's a parody I hope!
For a given field that I daydream about, I visit the subreddit dedicated to that profession. Especially given the rise in r/antiwork-like sentiment over the past few years, what I've noticed from many of these profession-specific subreddits is that many of the most popular posts from the last 2-3 years consist of people posting grievances about their field. Through reading about the most negative, stressful, and irrational aspects of a given profession, you defintely end up seeing that grass isn't necessarily greener in many cases.

While I realize that people who like their jobs likely won't make posts on Reddit to rave about their respective position, and that a subreddit is likely to attract people who want a place to vent (just as people are more likely to post online reviews about a business given a negative experience rather than a positive one), through reading about realities that many people face, I quickly realize it's not all roses & sunshine on the other side of the grass and each field comes with its own set of frustrating challenges.

What I do is may be a cynical way of looking at things, but especially if you currently have a well-paid, fairly comfortable position, you shouldn't take your current standing for granted, and realize that there are loads of people in other fields who'd rather be in your shoes.

Only for the most simplistic implementations. More advanced implementations and incorporating page reputation took care of that pretty well for many years — Google’s quality decline started some time after they merged with Doubleclick in 2008 (notice how they haven’t done much innovative since?), and started allowing abusive sites like Quora or Pinterest to bypass policies against things like search cloaking, presumably due to things like large Ad Words purchases. All of the scam domains I see outranking legitimate results have tons and tons of ad impressions for Google.

One thing I feel strangely insecure about is my aging orthodox C++ upbringing; these kids and their new-fangled whiz-boppers make me feel like a dinosaur. The flip-side is that it puts hiring pressure for our company (and I assume many others) to find programmers that can write orthodox C++ so that would be the first place I would focus on extending your knowledge.

"This sort of built-in adaptability, Dr. Lipson argued, would become more important as we became more reliant on machines. Robots were being used for surgical procedures, food manufacturing and transportation; the applications for machines seemed pretty much endless, and any error in their functioning, as they became more integrated with our lives, could spell disaster. “We’re literally going to surrender our life to a robot,” he said. “You want these machines to be resilient.

One way to do this was to take inspiration from nature. Animals, and particularly humans, are good at adapting to changes. This ability might be a result of millions of years of evolution, as resilience in response to injury and changing environments typically increases the chances that an animal will survive and reproduce. Dr. Lipson wondered whether he could replicate this kind of natural selection in his code, creating a generalizable form of intelligence that could learn about its body and function no matter what that body looked like, and no matter what that function was."

If you haven't already looked at it, Canada is a great case study and cautionary tale in monopolies and their ills. Look at both our consumer ecosystem (pricing, variety, and service) a well as innovation and industry, and at every turn you will find an economy optimized for monopolies to accumulate money at the expense of regular people.
I like this idea of having one source file that can be exported for several applications with somewhat customized contents (here: having more information in the text handouts than in the slides).

In common parlance, a learning curve is plotting effort/output, not output/effort. So vertical means nigh infinite effort to achieve small change in output.

I'm still experimenting with the right prompts to make gameplay fun.

Without prompts GPT-3 will tend to 'play the game for you' or allow you to do non-sensical actions (e.g. if a house is on fire, and your command is 'blow the fire out with your gigantic lungs', it will respond with 'you blow the fire out!' rather than 'you blow but this does not have any effect'), but if you tell it to ignore actions that would not work it tends to go 'on rails' and expect a specific sequence of actions from the player, so just trying to balance those two things!
