I'm not convinced. Everywhere I look where developers are "allowed" to develop, more like there are giant plots of land for dirt cheap, builders don't make homes that cost $100k, they build homes that cost $450k.

Why would a builder put immense fuss and effort and stress into making a hundred brand new low income homes that will be a pain and suck to get sold and won't be able to charge much for because low income when they can build one mcmansion and be set for like ten years with a good client who will accept a 400% markup because they haven't understood what a dollar is worth in a decade?

Unfortunately, Mental illness is largely not the cause of gun violence like the media says it is, the issue is that there are so many guns out there that are so easy to get a hand on by anyone, that gun violence is so bad. And since JFK got rid of sanatoriums and expected the private companies to pick up the slack, 60 years ago, there will never be enough care as proven by the lack of care today. Sorry, we don't, nor will we ever, prioritize it enough to have any meaningful impact on gun violence. You take the weapons out of reach of people who would use them to do harm to others _first_, and only then can we make any progress on the issues. But too many companies and unscrupulous people are out there and they actively block and write legislation to make gun violence a certainty. Bad advertising and death is still good advertising to these people. As for 3D printed guns, we have a whole ATF bureau that should be on this just like they are on the illegal fully auto gun mods.

You don’t have to use an exchange to send a cryptocurrency. I personally use them to buy crypto, but then I send my assets to a hardware wallet asap. From there, you can send it anywhere you’d like.
Man, I had no idea there were so many HNers with strong opinions on highway follow distance. rolls eyes
I find it fascinating to learn that they tried. It looks like they really did, but it was a futile effort. What they needed to do was cut out a lot of the unnecessary crap.

The beginning of the end was the release of the "New Xbox Experience" in 2008, which introduced a new rich and very cumbersome UI that was way heavier on resources, more confusing to navigate, and dedicated more real estate to ads and "sponsored content".

If Microsoft cared about speed and usability, they should have reversed course. Kill NXE, restore the original snappy Blades UI, and backport the one useful NXE feature (the ability to install disc games to the HDD). Nobody's going to care about 3D avatars if they make your game machine take three times longer to boot.
Intelligent Octopus is open for signups (I believe!) and offers 10p/kWh for some hours overnight and longer for the EV if you let them schedule the charge.

There's also Agile Octopus if you just want cheap off-rate. You might need to sign up to Agile then switch to Intelligent if you can't do Intelligent directly.

Both require a working smart meter.

You'll need to call Octopus in order to switch, their online signups have been suspended (like everyone else). My referral ID is fresh-cub-249 if they'll accept it over the phone, gets us both £50 credit.
Linux phones don't need it. Linux itself needs it.

Red Hat is the closest we've got, but while they've sponsored great work at unifying the lower-levels of Linux via systemd, the desktop level is still severely lacking, not to mention the lack of a good, corporate-supported "reference" distro putting all those ideas in a coherent package. Sadly it doesn't seem to be a priority for them as they have the funding, manpower and influence to pull it off if they wanted to.

Once we get good and usable Linux on desktops for the masses, phones can catch up (and I'd argue they'd have an advantage here as they'd be able to reuse all that desktop-focused work and run Linux apps out-of-the-box).

What's holding Linux back is the lack of a coherent vision - everyone does their little thing in their own corner with their own vision and ideologies (which are sometimes contradictory), leading to a lot of wasted work and yields a subpar user experience since all those various components don't integrate 100%.
In my opinion, one of the top criteria for a good developer is that they don't fear making changes. If a function has changed purposed, a good programmer will rename that function even if it's across hundreds of files.

A poor programmer will see that as wasted effort and not do it.

From my experience working with a good infrastructure team, good system administrators do the same sort of thing. It's easy to not change names but in 10 years you have no idea what you're looking at. Our team is constantly moving stuff around and renaming things when it makes sense to do it.
If you're not failing, you're not learning!
It absolutely is the Tesla's fault for coming to an illegal stop in response to no event ahead of them during a lane change which is clearly demonstrated in video. The rest of your comment is approaching victim blaming.

The Tesla is 100% at fault here.
Is there any prior work on how to integrate a LLM with something as primitive as a simple calculator? I suspect it's hard. Does ChatGPT even know what question to ask? Integrating LLM's with logic/reasoning/computation seems important, but I wonder if it's a ways off?

I doubt anyone would bother integration with Wolfram except for Wolfram, though.

Rent-controlled apartments are indeed basically extinct, but IME rent stabilization has more variance than you're describing: my first independent apartment was rent stabilized, and I didn't have to pay any broker fees. This was in South Harlem.
Don't know what kind of projects you are working on, but in the world where I work, source-code that is literally decades old is common, and companies pay extremely good money for people who understand it.

Determining status of copyrights and ownership for movies produced under soviet block communist governments is going to open up thorny legal questions.

They probably don't have enough commercial value to fight over.

Now if Ye used a sample of a soundtrack without authorization in a hit song, there's suddenly real money involved. Lawyers and artists would come out of the woodwork and start filing claims.
Often true. And that's OK!
The paramount issue here is that the software isn't operating as intended. Reckless driving and distracted driving are compounding issues to that major concern. Rather than dismissing the accident as possible with a driver fully in control, distracted and reckless driving are great reasons why we shouldn't entrust auto-pilot software to public consumption yet.
I don't know if this is specifically your childhood experience, but you're describing also my childhood too, and I didn't grow up in Dundee. There were plenty of first- and second-hand ZX Spectrums to go around, VIC-20s, C16s, C64s, Amstrad CPCs, and the schools had BBCs. The UK went home-computer mad. Remember when there were type-in listings in C+VG? The Usbourne computer books? [1] INPUT magazine? [3] Kids were swapping tapes like crazy, and writing their own demos and games, all over the country.

While Timex may have played a part and the density of Speccies may have been higher in Dundee, I still think Timex's main contribution to Dundee's games industry was to make David Jones redundant, giving him the money to buy an Amiga 1000 [3]

Well, there's not only monetary cost on compute, you need humans interacting with it for RLHF, it takes time as well, you need engineers, and at the end of it, if you're just copying the leader, you're always going to be behind and not going to be coming up with the latest and greatest.

I'm just disappointed the compute cost alone seems difficult to surmount for open source/community projects.

Dividend paying stocks are from cash cow companies that attract investors not with growth but with a dividend. Many of them are heavily leveraged to take advantage of tax reduction from the payment of debt with their predictable cash. However, if they have a lot of debt, the current interest rate increases are possibly putting a dent in their calculations. Not sure a highly indebted company is a good place to store money in an increasing interest rate situation. Apple and microsoft offer dividends but they are not high.
They do not exist, absolutely. 4% is a good number for dividend paying stocks.

Also inflation isn't over 15% hahaha.
+1 to this, I ride motorcycle and lane split (in California) and frequently see people doing 80miles an hour looking down at the phone in their lap. This means even their peripheral vision is out of play, at least if they held the phone at 12 oclock over the steering wheel there'd be some non focused vision... smh

No, they pass their taxes and maintenance costs onto me, because what the hell am I going to do, move to a different apartment? They own that one too, if it isn't already full because they haven't built new apartments in my city in 20 years.

At least they didn't. The past couple years they built like three new giant apartment complexes in the city. They all list for 3x the local average rent. They aren't for residents, they are for rich tourists.
> If you lose power in a gas powered vehicle

Safely merge right and stop in the shoulder if possible, but in heavy traffic like this put the hazard lights on and slowly stop without changing lanes. Call the police -- do not get out of the car while there are still lanes with moving traffic.

In wealthier-Europe the police would activate electronic "60km/h", "lane closed" and similar signs. It's a long time since I drove in the USA, I can't remember if you have these.

> have a flat

If you must stop quicker pulse the brakes if possible (the flashing lights draw more attention), but again, don't change lanes. Changing lanes caused the problem, which was compounded by the too-close following vehicles. Some of those vehicles also changed lanes dangerously, when they should have stopped in their current lane.

For what it's worth, a vehicle two ahead of me crashed into the central barrier in my final driving lesson.
Long ago, a friend live to the east of Fitzsimmons military hospital near Denver. Visits generally took me past the Joie De Vie apartments.

> This "living wage leads to inflation" story is right wing fearmongering.

No, it's a misunderstanding of supply and demand. When you raise the price of something, doesn't matter if it's labor or oranges, demand goes down. "Minimum" wage laws result in unemployment for lower-skilled workers, preventing them from getting valuable experience. Everyone who works decides what their minimum is; but somehow "minimum" wage proponents don't trust low-wage earner to decide for themselves so they prefer them to be unemployed instead because they don't understand that this is the result of those policies.

It depends on many factors. But there's a lot of forensic techniques that could potentially be used to catch perpetrators of gun crimes. If they were smart they wouldn't do it at all.
That's unnecessarily dismissive. Handling many (or dozens, hundreds) TB worth of logs is anything but "toy level", that's more than the vast majority of businesses will generate in a decade, maybe even their lifetime.

It's never illegal to stop in reaction to a perceived dangerous situation.
Here is the key bit:

"When you hear “balance,” you immediately think of a dichotomy. For two things to be balanceable, they must be at odds with each other. Lowering one side of the scale must raise the other side.

When we describe work and life as things to be balanced, we are suggesting that work and life are at odds with each other. More time or energy allocated to work means less time and energy allocated to life.

This is obviously absurd, though. Work is just another part of life like family, community, food, fitness, creativity, travel, fun, spirituality, etc.

The question isn’t how do you balance work and life, but how do you create a healthy relationship among work and the various other important areas of life? "

This is completely pedantic - obviously work is literally a part of life, so the phrase means exactly what the author states in the last paragraph.

Not worth reading IMO.

Premium office chairs involve far more cost up-front, but are actually pretty good values when you consider that there's a realistic chance that they'll last 10-20+ years of normal use. Herman Miller, as one example, I believe offers a standard 12 year parts and labor warranty with their chairs, so they're probably intended to last at least 12 years. The no-name $100 chair you find on Amazon has a pretty good chance of starting to fall apart within 1 year.
Well, 100% of people living in NY are living, so maybe "living wage" is not so accurate a measurement if 60% aren't "living".
> The modern version just feels like a weird exercise in box-collecting.

The few teenage women in my family I interact with are obsessed with ticking all right boxes. I get the impression they don't have any idea what they are, but they are desperate to find it, label it, and put it in a box so they can tell their friends. Preferably a trendy box. The anger they have built up around names/labels and which are the right/wrong ones appears deeply unhealthy to me.

It's one thing for career woman to talk about systemic sexism in male dominated professional spheres. It's another thing to hear a 20 year old college freshman with practically no life experience passionately parrot what they've heard about wage disparity, glass ceilings, and other things they have literally zero direct personal experience with. You can't fix things by discussing "problems experienced in theory", you can only have meaningful dialog about fixing things when you can discuss "problems experienced in practice".

I feel it's deeply unhealthy for this new generation, and I fear that we're facing some sort of epidemic of mental illnesses in the next decade or two. In some ways I think we're already there.

I agree that search for identity is a search for meaning. And finding meaning takes a lot of trial and error (the trials being the hard part and the work she refers to). I've changed a lot in my 30 years as an adult, always for the better I think.
It is strange that if it is the case of driver-inattention-disengagement, that the Tesla wouldn't at least put on hazard lights. Maybe it wouldn't be enough in this situation, but in most cases, it would be a more obvious signal that the left lane change is an emergency maneuver.
I think what trips me up then is that "Plan" refers to a specific type of planning, I guess "MRP", but colloquially it would refer to anything that attempts to project how something will be done. Unfortunately I've had employers insist that planning in the colloquial sense was akin to waterfall and since we were agile it was verboten.
Wait wasn't the recession supposed to happen last year?
I'm not sure it's age related, sure, we might slow down slightly over time, but what we lose in speed... we gain in wisdom, soft-skills, experience in general. Which I suspect more than makes up for a slightly decline in sheer speed cognition wise.

I can't help but think of Donald Knuth, aged 85, sat in his home office somewhere, still chipping away at some of the hardest problems in computer science.

It sounds like your problem is something more temporal. For instance, someone else here mentioned about other stresses and responsibilities in your life for example. It might be that it's just a boring and arduous task, not everyone excels at tasks that are just not that interesting. Besides, I don't think the vast majority of us are good at remembering layers and layers of calls and abstractions.

My advice is, there's probably nothing wrong with your abilities or your brain, just try to work on small sections at a time and don't be hard on yourself. We're not 100% all of the time, there are so many factors that play a part in how we perform on each task.

I'd also say that, 40 isn't particularly old, it's easy to think that when so many engineers are in their mid-20's, but in the grand scheme of things, your cognitive abilities probably haven't changed all that much since you were twenty-something. Hang in there mate.
> it served its purpose

That's a blind jump. We don't know the purpose, we don't know how much was invested, how much was already recovered, and how much more could be earned if the program was allowed to live.

All we know is that it has recently hit fitness to purpose, and that the fitness caused it to be abandoned.
>it could be wise to become a little bit liquid right now

That seems about a year too late on the nose, though I get your point.

One staggering stat for me is that ~40% of owner-occupied homes have no mortgage. Sure property tax and insurance (not required on a fully owned house) but that seems minimal especially if you were able to pay off the home, outside of very high areas or appreciation.

> 1. Cash businesses that don't report income for taxation, so get to make effectively 40-50% more income from their revenue. In this case, I am using the term "business" to refer any income-generating activity for which you are not employed by another person. Yes, this counts the dude selling loosies.

Common out here in flyover country, too. Anyone without a shop sign dominated by a large corporate logo is likely to tell you they'd prefer cash, and may offer a cash discount. Cleaners, mechanics, plumbers, even daycares (this is how poor folks can afford daycare: your cousin's friend is staying home with their kid and will watch yours, too, for 1/4 what a licensed daycare would charge, if you pay cash) all of that sort of thing, tons of people doing a fair amount of off-the-books work. You might have to chat with them a little first, but it's usually something they're interested in.

I wonder if there's anywhere in the US this isn't fairly common. I can see how someone might not be aware of it, depending on how they grew up, but I can't imagine there are many places it's rare.

[EDIT] Incidentally, in addition to the tax-evasion and benefits-qualification purposes mentioned elsewhere, this tactic is also used to evade child support.
what is SSRN ?
Not a bad idea. Paid JS libraries have been a mess. Sometimes you have to manually fetch from a password protected area, or add a specific registry or worse install a “key” at runtime. Perhaps a jwt token could be used instead of the Stripe Checkout Session ID to decouple the function from stripe.
one could make a cogent argument that the point of 'work life balance' and the cult of mindfulness mandates from HR was not to serve as a poultice for a wounded working class, but rather to distance and externalize the risk corporations faced from inherent, systematic abuses they commonly engage in with legal impunity and to gaslight those very same workers into internalizing their burnout and exhaustion as a function of something they were instead doing to themselves.

it was to keep you worried about yourself, so as not to say, collectivize any sort of action against the real culprit.
