Lives and employment work very differently:

* People understandably put a very high value on their life continuing, and really don't want to trade it against other things.

* People vary a lot in how much value they put on their job continuing, and how much they are willing to trade off against it.

For example, many people would consider taking a 2x raise even if it increased their chances of losing their job in the next 3y from 5% to 50%, but you're not going to find many takers for a 50% chance of death in the next 3y no matter what you're offering.

You can have a culture where jobs are treated as sacrosanct as lives, who are nearly so. In a culture like that companies would be extremely cautious about hiring in a way that would make workers overall worse off, and startups with be much less practical. Europe is farther in this direction than the US, though not all the way to what I think you are proposing with your analogy.

> if acquiring companies means you "are back" what was the value anyways?

In fairness, this is true of most major companies in the past 20 years. Apple acquired PA Semi to build their A-Series chips, Google just straight up bought the Android OS. Facebook bought Oculus and renamed itself, Tesla's first 3 years of ASDS was just Mobileye's tech and Tesla overselling it's abilities.

Windows 11 being a 'disaster' is a vast overstatement of issues. Consumers widely seem to be fine with it by the numbers, and Microsoft found more ways to generate profits. Sadly they are a business. Adding ChatGPT to windows would wildly change the context of the product and would probably be a massive blow to Apple as ChatGPT is a real "I want that" feature if they market it to wide audiences, at the level of the first laser printer or such. A product where you don't have to know anything about how it works to know that the output is wanted.

Linkedin makes money, provides direct information of practices, and allows them to own a quiet corner of the majority of US user's life. Just owning and sitting on it is a great investment, even if you forget the whole LinkedIn learning/Certs thing they are doing to own the education corner.

Sure, they're probably not going to lay any actual cable, but there's a lot of infrastructure needed to bring the cable from the head-end to the exterior wall of your house and some of that can be laid in advance.

Ideally, if you're building a new housing development, you can relatively inexpensively put in:

* Ducts to carry the cables under streets and driveways.

* Pavement cabinets for junction boxes, distribution equipment, and optical splitters.

This becomes much more expensive if you have to dig up the streets later.

People who work factory jobs aren’t “working class”? Who is working class then? To be honest, it sounds like your definition of working class is the definition that’s being stretched.

Upper / middle / lower class is about wealth. In a society with little income inequality, the middle class can become quite large. “Working class” is a class related to a type of work. In most places, the jobs that make up the working class are low paying, so the working class is also lower class. But this didn’t use to be the case in the US.

RE: Open Source models, there is the AnthropicAI model making the rounds on Twitter[1] and Stability.ai (makers of Stable Diffusion) are working on one [2].

If we use recent history as an example, OpenAI announced DALL-E in Jan 5, 2021 [3], announced v2 and a waitlist for public use in July 20, 2022, and Stable Diffusion shipped an open source model on August 22, 2022 [4] using ~$600K of compute (at retail prices on AWS) [5].

I don't see how it's likely that any company can acquire a durable technology moat here. There are scale barriers to entry, but even VC sized funding can overcome that.

It's a shame that this has negative connotations. There is a case that this is essential.

It seems like we are overcoming an AI winter, using the same technologies that was deemed infeasible 20 years ago.

When I did competitive programming 20 years ago. I would somewhat jokingly say that I would want to write and AI to solve all the problems. Our mentor laughed it of clearly not considering it even feasible – today ChatGPT would like outperform a highschool competitive programming competition.

We probably needed to look away from that generations presumptions in order to leap frog on some of these technologies.
I would point out that this exact process (AI training against AI) produced novel and counter-intuitive insights in chess, go, poker, and other games that would have been labelled creative and brilliant if a human had come up with them and used them to win.

As an "old" programmer who's still in the trenches, my secret to working around this problem is to take notes as I work. As you map things out, write it down. As you collect state/call stacks while debugging/tracing, write it down!

It's WAY easier to just consult your notes than to try to remember everything.

I am turning 40 this year, I have personally gone through this in the last couple of years. I do manage a fairly large team and still code, there are lot of distractions. Few changes helped me to keep coding, I went away from dual monitor to single monitor when I wanted to code, it helped me from not getting distracted. Setting up focussed time for coding also helped and its usually sitting in library. Putting phone or any notifications on the laptop to Going for a run or exercising before I start coding helped to clear my head and focus on coding.
> Also, article spins badly trying to conflate charging at DC fast chargers with "charging an EV". In fact most EV charging happens at home at residential rates, not at fast chargers which need to charge a premium to provide high-amperage service to remote locations.

Contrary to your point, the article actually addresses that directly: "The RAC data shows that those charging from a slower home charger are paying just £17.87 for the same 188 miles of range."

> my Model Y in the west coast of the USA (an area much more heavily reliant on long road trips and thus fast charging) has received just 27% of its total energy from superchargers. I'd expect British cars to use them even less.

It's quite possible that British vehicle owners don't have as many garages (probably synonymous with the ability to easily and securely charge at home) as owners on the west coast of the U.S.

If the software engineering market shrinks as investment slows down, good paying / high quality jobs will become more rare and competition for them will become more fierce. If you love what you, it may be a good idea to plan for rainy days ahead and play the game of social posting and marketing.
Presumably most of the charging done at home? It seems to be when you're reliant on premium (fast) public chargers that the costs add up. At home you can take advantage of things like the Octopus EV tariff and pay 10p/kWh overnight for EV charging.
Same boat but for different reasons. I'm 40 and have a 2.25 yr kid. I was doing fine before the kid was born but my mental capacity deteriorated a lot since then. It's a combination of depression, loss of sleep and increased pressure from work.

That said, I still managed to pull out a few nights of programming (the Synacor Challenge) and debugging, occasionally till 2AM while I barely get much sleep because we are trying to ditch the pacifier.

I have a feeling that humans can still burn extra mental energy when really driven, to certain limit. But in 40s we are driven by far fewer things than in 20s, and we need more rest for these burns. The up side is I know ourselves better now than in our 20s so I can at least achieve something. Back when I was in my 20s I spent most of the time playing games and failed to learn anything properly.

you might be interested in embedded Schemes. I use s7, which shares a lot of features with both CL and Clojure (for a Scheme) and is very easy to embed in C or C++ apps. I use it for music coding, but others (e.g. Naughty Dog) have done it for games. It's a super fun way to develop. My high level code is mostly Scheme, interfacing with low level C.
Perfect timing as I'm looking for something like this (was going to build this but happy to contribute!). I'll give it a go! Thanks!
Linux phones need money. You're not going to get away with a MVP today any more, the typical customer not only requires basic functionality, but also the ability to run Android apps they are locked into.

If you solve slowness by limiting features, only very few hard core fans will buy it. If you want to solve slowness by rewriting, you need loads of cash for great programmers. If you want to solve slowness by throwing hardware at it, you need loads of money to convince big players to even talk to you, give you hardware documentation, and then write all the open drivers.
And technology in general. There is a video by HealthyGamerGG that explains how using smartphones or computers turns off a crucial part of the brain that knows what is important and you should focus on.

The longer you're in front of a screen, the more you lose awareness of yourself and what you enjoy. Taking frequent breaks away from screens is important to stay motivated and restore that drive towards meaningful things.

It's sounds wishy-washy how I explained it here, but the video has a more scientific explanation of this phenomenon.

Does this not necessitate that 60% are subsidized in some fashion, e.g. geared-to-income housing, food stamps, etc? That seems like an astronomical number. If that is not the case, then why does the living wage estimate not account for this? What are the unmet minimum standards for 60% of New Yorkers?

These are not rhetorical questions. I'm asking.
The perf part of the tests just seems to be a microbenchmark for seeing how fast the various frameworks can parse a 30000x300 dict of strings representing numbers [1].

If that is all one's application does, and can use your library in their organization/team, that's great. However a 2-3x performance boost for the parsing stage for a use case like an API call might not matter when that could be overshadowed by validation and/or upstream API calls. A realistic app would likely use a validation library like Pydantic's [2] to throw a custom typed-error that can be processed, e.g., localization, before returning it downstream.

Perhaps the pill we'd need is one to make everyone enjoy exercise at some minimum base level. Plenty of people I've talked to were either not enjoying exercise at all, or did enjoy it while they were doing it, but have a lot of resistance to getting started every time they plan to do something.

I think the issue is that there is three different types of people when it comes to performance.

There is the 1% that are in a need of hard realtime performance, that thinks about GC performance as an issue that needs to be adressed. Sure I can get that for these people, these kind of discussions seems stupid and confusing since they have to develop in C/C++, Rust etc to get the pure performance they need. These people probably aren't in this thread because they know that Python is not a language for them and will never be.

Then there is the 99% crowd, which I am a part of, that could use slow-as-shit frameworks like Rails or Laravel because the performance is just a nice-to-have. These people, like myself, compares Python perf to perhaps PHP or Node because they are fast enough languages and in this kind of league a framework like OPs can make a huge difference. No matter what language you pick here you are basically always using something "beneth" it. Node has been picked by many because it's faster than for example Python and Ruby.

Then there is the people who are part of the 99% crowd but are just have to comment and point the needs of the 1% out because they are negative people who probably produce little themselves and have to hate on what other people create and distribute for free. This group is where most haters on HN belong in. :)

I started in PHP, when I went to Node in the early beginning I was deeply impressed by the great performance and nice features it had. Sure it was built upon C++ libraries but I am never gonna use C++ to write my web api. Still, I could use Node and get 2-3x AT LEAST the performance in all of my endpoints because of this and all my code was in javascript.

What I am trying to say is that I don't care if you pack my code and run it on a computer in Minecraft or your calculator, if it runs faster for very little to no pain on my side that is pure joy to me.
I read a study that programming skill improves with age. And another that cognitive decline doesn't really happen until the late 60s if then.

You might have some decline in motivation due to other reasons, not least anxiety about aging!

If your colleagues who are enthusiastically porting that API were the same age as you, you would attribute your lack of focus to something else. There is no reason to latch onto age as the explanation.
Maybe centuries from now we will be able to replace movement with a bunch of chemicals that confuse the muscles to think they moved, but movement actually causes a lot of hydraulic pumping effects throughout the lymphatic system that physically diffuses toxins into a waste stream.

It’s probably not possible from a physics standpoint to replace motion induced pumping/diffusion with pure chemistry.
At some point, they decide growth from technical innovation has mostly played out. (Did Rackspace have a path to building a sufficiently disruptive product to grow another 10x?)

At this point, the MBAs try innovating in finances / marketing, as that's likely to 10x profits over time. This is why all the big Detroit automakers were essentially banks that gave you a middling car for taking out a loan when the lending crisis almost wiped them out. That strategy actually worked great for their investors (until it didn't).

> Not "a progressive position," which is debatable at best, you called it "the progressive position" implying that was the belief of most who call themselves "progressive."

I am actually the world's foremost expert on what I mean when I say something. If we ever have a debate about what I meant, then I am 100% correct and you are 100% incorrect. You can ask me to clarify something, but only I know what I meant.

Quoting somebody's words back to them as if to say, "but but but you said this!" is basically never useful, because you're always talking to the preeminent scholar on what that person meant and you should only ever be in the posture of accepting what they tell you they meant by those words.

If there appears to be some confusion about what I meant, then I am, as one former president so eloquently put it, "the decider."

By the way, since you seem to be so interested in how to have "good faith" debates, you should know that violating this principle is a classic bad-faith arguing tactic that's basically guaranteed to derail a conversation (just as it's done here).
An interesting study that somewhat counters this one is the study that found that eunuchs live much longer than the general population.

https://healthland.time.com/2012/09/25/do-eunuchs-really-liv...

...but this was a historical look at 81 Korean imperial eunuchs from the 14th to early 20th centuries, and compared them to other male imperial court members.

Anyone want to signup for a modern test?

...but before you dismiss this completely - modern animal mammalian studies have confirmed this result and it also helps explain why women live longer. ...though the studies only looked at castration prior to puberty. That's important because overall height (a proxy for mass and cell count) is inversely correlated with longevity.

Could not agree more. Naming things for what they do encourages other behaviors like deprecation strategies and extension strategies that are non-disruptive to others. It makes people's lives easier if your work follows a level of rigor for naming. Products and companies can do many things under a single name, APIs should try to do the fewest number of things under a given name while fitting the concept as closely as possible.
