Doing "more" of the same, throwing more bodies at it, rewriting the world
because your UI or ORM needs a reboot, trying to attach checksums and
technical proxies for dependencies as a substitute for the basic fact that
you need to know what code you are running and why to be a responsible
software vendor; none of this will work.

You're assuming that the "bodies" being thrown are going to continue to be human. But what if they aren't? We've already seen what can be done with the very early, relatively primitive AI programming assitants that we have today. What happens when we're competing against an army of Java/Python/Go programmers, all of whom have extensive AI assistance?

I love Lisp. All Lisps. Common Lisp. Scheme. Clojure. Even elisp. And, for a long time I thought Lisp was the future. I thought, like you, that the ever expanding size of codebases written in more conventional programming languages would necessitate a switch to something more functional and more amenable to building non-leaky layers of abstraction because that would be the only way to continue to build without introducing at least one bug for every new feature.

However, the advent of LLM powered coding assistants (like OpenAI's Codex, or Github's Copilot) has made me reassess my view. LLMs benefit from having more training data. Now, the thing that I thought would kill Java/Python/Go codebases, i.e. the sheer number of lines of code required to do even the simplest thing, turns out to be a strength. Because each line (and all its variants) now represents a datum point in the training set for the AI.

Can Lisp be enhanced with AI support. Sure it can, in theory. But in practice, there's far less Lisp code out there. Primarily this is because far fewer people use Lisp on a regular basis. But it's also because, for any given task, far less code is required to accomplish it. Just like Java's greatest weakness turned out to be a strength in a world where we have AI assistance, Lisp's greatest strength turns out to be a weakness.

I'm going to continue to use Lisp wherever I can. If not at work, then in my projects at home. But I'm far less sanguine today about the eventual dominance of Lisp (and Lisp-like languages) than I have been at any time in the past.
I used to struggle to build muscle the same way, until I switched to a paleo diet.
> Why we can’t even examine the data that don’t wholesale support the narrative.

I agree, and yet, I believe you are mistaken. Everything single anecdote you provided about cold weather supports the Climate Change narrative, which doesn't merely predict a hotter weather, but, instead, extremes which stand in stark contrast to the mild climate of the last 10K years. More than 30 people died in Buffalo during the last snow storm. You really think that shows Climate Change isn't real, or that it was a freak outlier? The more data you include, the more sure we'll be Climate Change is real and not the opposite.

A peer mentioned different types of memory and flip flops. I’d search for JK flip flop or D flip flop/latch for conceptual pointers. Those can be used to build up register files. The logic gates used to build flip flops/latches use things like NMOS/CMOS/PMOS - different kind of metal oxide seniconductor logic based on substrate. The differing behavior affects how you arrange circuits (voltage source, ground, etc) to provide desired logic from inputs (keywords: pull down/pull up network). Once you have logic and memory, you can build control units and things like arithmetic logic (look up von Neumann/Harvard architecture).

I’m not an expert in modern hardware, but these are the basic principles I recollect. Happy to be corrected if this answer is dated :)
I bought one of their games on Steam and, between when I bought it and when I started playing it, they shutdown a server that the menu queried, so I got to enjoy 2 minute timeouts every time I went into the menu. Lesson learned: Always make sure to try purchased games within the return window!

And never buy from Ubisoft.

Edit: Wow--just checked and they're still selling this game, even with this egregious hang.
I had an infuriating time with HDMI in that way. Wondering why I only get 4K@30hz. Never suspecting the brand name cable branded “hi speed” on the sleeve.
OPs comments are inflammatory. They provide an example of how not to treat a transgender person. Again, you don’t get to call someone an N-word just because you changed their name.

They do not have a right to tell a bigoted story on a public forum. They might be permitted, but don’t confuse that with a right.

Overall sounds good. One thing doesn't though: under the "sustainable liquid fuels".

By the way, what do you think of when you hear "sustainable liquid fuels"? Being on HN, you probably think of the Prometheus startup [1]. Or maybe you've just read about Terraform Industries, yesterday on a top HN page [2].

Well, it looks like the US Government thinks of bioethanol when they think about "sustainable liquid fuels". The telltales are the R&D priorities: "reduce ethanol carbon intensity", and "bioenergy scale up".

And we know how "sustainable" bioethanol is. Here's the thing: right now the US is using 30 million acres to plant corn for bioethanol. It would be a much better usage of land to just plant trees.

Public keys are not meant to be public. They can be public in that making them public doesn't compromise the corresponding private keys. And generally making them public helps scale key management.

There are cryptographic protocols where public keys are kept private. For example TLS with client certificates (the client's certificate gets sent encrypted to the server). Ditto SSHv2 (the client need not reveal all its public keys, and it does get to authenticate the server before revealing its identity and public keys).
It depends on what you are trying to do.

If you're a developer, needing access to AWS resources - then you install credentials on your machine.
Ideally you use some form of short lived credentials, provided by say AWS SSO.

Generally if you're shipping an application, you don't give them credentials to access to your AWS Resources directly.

For instance, perhaps you want to allow someone to download a file from S3 - well you would provide some form of private API that would generate a pre-signed AWS S3 Uri. In that pre-signed Uri, there's an explicit expiry time.

Most other things, you would probably stand up an API to handle interacting with your AWS resources on behalf of a customer.

One instance I saw was someone that built some agent-endpoint software that streamed logs direct to AWS Kinesis.
Their desktop application would periodically request AWS Keys from their API which were only valid for some short period of time, and scoped to writing to a specific Kinesis endpoint.
Ok, the HN pedants are out in force. The guy is an astrophysicist and knows what he's talking talking. He's not saying dark energy is a repulsive gravitational force, he's saying it appears to us as such because we just see the macro effect of objects moving apart.

How about something like "You buy US treasury bonds, then give those bonds to us in exchange for xyzcoin"? Likewise redemptions always paid in treasury bonds?

I'm not very familiar with how treasuries get bought/sold/transferred between parties. But they seem pretty cash-equivalent, Uncle Sam will sell as much as you want, and your profit margin is baked into it.

Decision by team to first iterate with users and make the system work really well in one region before expanding
I'm still digging in to the details so I can't answer perfectly. But as far as I can tell. There is no threading or processes, it's more like a microcontroller. I don't think there are any interrupts for things like inputs, you have a main loop and you are expected to poll the inputs frequently. I suspect there are timers which can interrupt like you'd get on a microcontroller though I haven't tried this yet.
i'll state the obvious - you can try to leave a gap, but it will be quickly filled, and you'll have a bunch of angry tailgaters and put yourself in danger very quickly.
> They all kept USDT separate though. Worth considering why this is the case.

Because they’re not dollars, it’s a token that is supposed to be pegged to a dollar. It’s not a dollar until you redeem it for an actual dollar. In that respect it’s the same as USDC.
How are you certain of this? Most countries' largest banks can't sustain a 10% redemption of deposits. That would be a bank run.
It's funny to me how people compare how hot each type of stove gets. Even when I sear a steak, and I like my steaks blue, I barely go above medium on my gas range.

Imo, the best thing about gas is the continuous nature of the output and significantly greater range of temperatures gas can hit, ie much lower than electric and induction. I think it is imperative you have a proper ventilation.

I don't like banning things, and think that mandating proper ventilation would be akin anyway, but given it would reduce carbon emissions and fire risk maybe it does make sense for an outright ban.

Honestly, "for the children" is the weakest argument for the ban.
It's always interesting all the weird ways consoles can get hacked. For example, the Wii through the message board, and the DSi through:

1. The camera app

2. The browser

3. Flipnote Studio (a simple animation app)

See also: https://dsi.cfw.guide - a fantastic guide to hacking the DSi.

P.S. I'll just say it here since it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere - sometimes, for seemingly no reason, Memory Pit (the camera exploit) doesn't work. In that case, just use another exploit. I had this happen, and as stylehax didn't exist yet, I used Flipnote Lenny, and it worked great.

I just transferred some USDC on the algorand network. It took 4 seconds for the transfer to complete, it cost me less than $0.01 in transaction fees, funds were instantly available to spend in the other account, and nobody called me to ask why I was moving my own money.
>> In reality if it wasn't a Tesla it would have been an ICE car in a similar market segment such as a BMW 3 Series.

I see this comparison proposed very often. But I don't think it's fair -- a model 3 is expensive but it's not a luxury car in anything other than price. I think you can argue that an equally fair comparison is a Toyota Corolla or similar, which is in a very different total cost of ownership class.
Something to note is that the Fed is shaking out FedNow instant payments, and they go GA mid 2023. This is instant settlement of amounts up to $25k per transaction, ramping to $100k over time. It should be expected that FedWire persists (with somewhat slower settlement times) for greater amounts. It costs the bank a few cents per transaction (the service runs on a cost recovery model), but it’s expected this cost won’t be passed along to the customer due to cost savings over checks and ACH.

He makes fundamental mistakes right at the beginning.

E.g.: he quotes something like "40% excess deaths due to COVID, as certified by a doctor"

And then claims: "hence the other 60% are not COVID related".

That's not what that means! The other 60% is deaths that are EITHER due to COVID, but not certified by a doctor OR due to other causes, including indirect deaths due to the pandemic.

Regarding certified deaths: Especially later in the pandemic there were lots of people taking the disease less seriously. Testing rates dropped. Fewer people bothered going to hospital. Symptoms were less obvious but still causing deaths. Some guy on a breathing tube dying is obviously due to COVID, but some woman keeling over at home because their heart couldn't take repeated mild infections is not so obvious.

Regarding indirect causes: There were also lots of excess deaths due to elective surgeries being delayed and preventative healthcare being put off. Hospitals were overwhelmed, and many procedures were simply unavailable. These are indirectly caused by COVID, but would not be "certified as COVID-caused by a doctor".

Not to mention suicides due to lockdown isolation, work from home. My neighbour killed himself because he was a very social person stuck at home for a year and a half!

The correlations he lists are also not proper evidence. The healthcare issues due to delayed elective surgeries would accumulate and take 1-2 years to show a noticeable effect, coinciding with the vaccination rollout schedule.

To get a scientifically valid statistical result, you'd have to do some sort of multivariate analysis that doesn't just look at an aggregate graph for an entire nation, but breaks down vaccination rates and excess deaths by smaller regions.

You'd then have to show that increased vaccinations cause increased deaths, independently of other factors such as the time since the pandemic started (and hospitals got backlogged), infection rates, etc...

> Since then, Grace Tao has worked hard toward stopping this negative PR. And it helped. Despite the occasional accidents that still happen to Tesla cars in China (and will always happen as for any other automaker), Chinese media didn’t pay them so much attention in 2022 as back in 2021.

It can’t be helping Tesla that they don’t have a PR team to counter the negative PR.
Keep it to yourself until you are ready to leave. There is no advantage to disclosing your plans too early.

About 20 years ago, I made the mistake of telling a coworker about my outside contracting gigs. He told the "big boss" (VP) about it, because I was not responding the coworker's weekend calls. A few days later I get a talking to by the VP about my outside endeavors and am told to stop. Of course, this request was ignored, but it created some drama at the time.
Yeah, what I like about React is how declarative component writing is, and how you delegate state changes to escape hatches. Plain old HTML is supposed to be declarative but updating with vanilla JS quickly gets you into the weeds.

I tried to get into WebComponents, but the MDN tutorial has you writing a lot of `document.createElement` and `document.appendChild`, which is the sort of imperative stuff I don't like about vanilla JS DOM manipulation.
The sun has been really strong since the early 2000s. It's a shame that the Southern hemisphere got that affected given it probably produced less than 20% of the damage.
I said it was “neat”!

It’s impressive tech, but giving a false-but-believable proof is substantially worse than saying “I don’t know how to do that”. If it had come back with “I don’t know how to give a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem in Isabelle”, I wouldn’t have been unimpressed; there are plenty of very cool things it can do. I just think that it being confidently incorrect is a bad thing.

EDIT:

I should point out, it also was wrong with substantially simpler proofs, like the proof of infinite primes.

That’s an interesting question. If you didn’t have parents, spouses, children, etc who would be crushed by your own destruction I’d agree. But being part of a family, and even part of a friend structure, neighborhood, society necessitates not being completely selfish. So your life never really is 100% your own in my opinion.

one path that seems to do well is get a heavy tech degree than do anything-but-heavy-tech when you get out -- something like solutions engineer, sales engineer, success engineer, sales, consulting, etc. -- stuff that might only require 30 min/day of coding, if that -- possibly more install, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.

the CS background can be very helpful for understanding computer-related tech.

My experience with burnout is exactly like you described FYI. It was like my mind just couldn’t process properly. I couldn’t read, or engage in thought on anything with any depth or acumen. Coupled with the burnout was a depression and deep anxiety. If you meditate a lot then I’d suggest examining with your awareness what is happening when you’re reading. If you’ve coupled some Buddhism with your practice then you can examine whether you are resisting / reacting. With burn out it happens at a subconscious level, but you should be able to sense a resistance when trying to engage in things you have trouble with. Do you feel joy? Interest in things? Can you remember what music you like? These sorts of things are useful to ask yourself.

Finally, I assume you’re male. Have you had your testosterone levels checked?
> As a counterpoint, my experience has been that having a recurring 1:1 on some cadence makes it feel less weird to flag an issue. If somebody has to block out an adhoc meeting to raise a concern, it feels like a bigger deal. That won’t stop all people or all issues, but it does set a higher bar and that means some conversations won’t clear it.

I think this is a significant part of the 1-on-1: to catch problems when they're small / solvable, rather than only recognising the problem when it's beyond the point of repair.

A "just raise the problem if you have it" only works if people have high psychological safety.

Though, if in the 1-on-1 the reportee doesn't feel confident raising issues/concerns (or aspirations), then I'd agree the 1-on-1 is useless.
Or use a language that does it automatically, like Clojure
Yeah, we tend to get a triple-whammy down south. I recall reading that the tilt of the earth, as well as atmospheric pollution make even more of a difference. If I recall the figures correctly, the UV hole can increase UV by ~3% in the southern hemisphere compared to the northern hemisphere, but the fact we tilt slightly closer to the sun in summer than the northern hemisphere makes 6-7% difference, and the fact that there is far less atmospheric pollution (aerosols, etc. that absorb some UV) in the south makes another ~6%. So even in summer when the UV hole is at its minimum, at the same distance from the equator you can have something like 12-14% more UV exposure than the northern hemisphere in summer.

It's ironic that better pollution controls, while causing many health benefits, will potentially make things worse for skin cancer in the northern hemisphere by gradually increase the UV doses, so you all are going to have to get better at sun safety or melanoma will become a much bigger issue there.
Broadly speaking:

1. Aesthetics - you want to change some part of your physique by targeting certain muscles. Think doing curls for bigger biceps.

2. Performance - you want to get stronger/improve mobility by targeting muscles or groups of muscles associated with a movement. Think doing hamstring curls to improve one's vertical jump or deadlift.

3. Therapeutic - you want to gain/regain/prevent the loss of capability. Something like deadlifts for back pain and posture or band pull aparts for shoulder pain.

More specifically:

Most strength and bodybuilding programs follow a template where each session has a main compound movement followed by accessory movements that target a handful of different muscles, usually split by upper/lower body or by type of movement (pushing/pulling) with the intent of working most of your muscles. Many non-compound movements for any given muscle are more or less interchangeable if you want variety in your program, have something that prevents you from doing a particular movement or just don't have access to the required equipment.

For instance, overhead dumbbell tricep extensions give me elbow pain, so I do cable tricep extensions or skullcrushers if I don't have access to a cable machine.
