> but in a time before land ownership and mass population explosions, there would have been enough.

That's certainly not true in the sense that modern agriculture allows for population densities that foraging/hunting lifestyles couldn't even dream of supporting. Also, tribes were very territorial about land and fought over it frequently. And people of the time were far more susceptible to changes in the environment: https://qr.ae/pr2Ah3https://qr.ae/pr2Ah3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQxEuXM_0eY&t=110s North American tribes were much smaller in number because they could support far less people per square mile. The Cherokee tribe, one of the largest east of the Mississippi, for instance, numbered around 20,000 in 1690, a paltry number compared to the size of the Aztecs or Maya, which numbered in the millions.

From the article: The thing is though, this isn't that far from what we actually did here on Earth centuries ago. Land used to exist without a monetary cost to access it. That was the natural way of things prior to the private property system and monetary system. We created poverty as we know it

this has to be the most disingenuous take on poverty I've ever heard. Most of human existence has been a struggle just to not die of hunger or exposure to the elements. Poverty in western nations today is worlds apart from that.

Also, from the article: We all would have inherited land, or at least free access to it, but in the process of creating civilization as we know it, we became dispossessed of our natural inheritance

Our natural inheritance is subsistence living amidst the constant threat of war, conquest, slavery, and the capricious whims of mother nature and lady fortune. Basically, the strongest survive and might makes right.
I mean... it does work. It's not like they're going to say "Here's all the ways we're going to spy on you, you dumb fucking peasants". I'm sick of it too, it's so impersonal. But the doublespeak is strong and going nowhere.

> Then the question is why should the 1% accept a governance structure where they get only 1% of the power for 100% of the work?

A job doesn't entitle you to power.

If they think they are underpaid, they can ask for more money.

If the wages of that sector go up a lot, watch as half the world applies for those jobs.
I think a great middle ground for embracing the cloud but retaining control over your data is the ability to bring your own encryption key.

This makes it possible for the SaaS to do the thing that you pay them money to do, but retain control if you want to walk away. Plus it guarantees that they are doing some sort of field/row encryption to be able to mix in keys.

The crux is that to do BYOK securely, you need guarantees that the key is handled correctly and in an ideal world, some sort of verification. That doesn't mean code auditing by every customer...I favor granting access to a key that can only be released into a secure enclave for sensitive SaaS operations to reside within.
So what? Your utility function is one-dimensional, lifespan. Maximizing the productive lifespan of proles or serfs is optimal in a society where power is centralized, but you are discounting the value of autonomy to zero.

I reject the Hobbesian premise that other social forms should be dismissed as nasty, brutish, and short, and it's not for lack of familiarity with the anthropology of prehistorical conflict.
Half a year ago I evaluated various low/no code tools and settled for Budibase in the process. I can't say much about ToolJet because I could not get the docker container to run on my MacBook Pro (M1) back then. I really liked the form editor and the inbuilt table control of AppSmith. But as I had to build something for a customer where various (external) users could access some data I chose Budbase, because it supports lots of users in a few different roles.

The inbuilt database was also something only Budibase offered back then. But that's something ToolJet also offers (nowadays?).
Why do you have spaces in the filenames of your project in the first place? They require annoying escapes to work with essentially everywhere, notably including on the web. You have complete control over the filenames in your project... why are actively choosing to use a space character? I can see a better argument for wanting to use an apostrophe in a filename than a space character :(.
I don't think you can lump people unable to improve their lot into a homogenous group all unable to see what money is. Some will; some won't. And that doesn't make money something else than what it is.

I agree that as individual liberty is eroded, and it's easier to just become yet another BS cog in a giant BS machine, with no incentives to make anything better, then you can descend into something authoritarian that promises a better way, such as our previous attempts at socialism, but the way out isn't to reinforce (or repeat) incorrect assumptions about money. It's to campaign for more liberty and fairness.
Thanks for the calm, rational response. That is definitely a great reminder, and I’m guilty of the same.

Maybe Noctua should jump into that market.
Been living in New York for the past 20+ years. Sadly, inflation has diminished the quality and quantity of the average corner pizza shop's slice. Yes, the Artichoke Basil slice the author refers to is much more expensive, but it's also bigger than the average slice of pizza in NYC - and the quality of ingredients seems better. The $1 slice shops (now more like the $1.50 slice shops) live on low margin and high volume. I can attest that it's great when you're in a hurry and just want to get something in your system. For quality pizza slices, well, you're just going to have to pay $3-$5 for a slice nowadays ($1 or more for toppings).
Student loans didn't magically improve quality of life for degree seekers. Instead, it lined the pockets of universities while creating new problems for underprivileged students who took loans.

UBI won't magically create inexpensive housing where you can reasonably live without a car. Most likely, it just causes landlords to jack up rent and get richer while doing liitle or nothing for the poorest of the poor.
One of my favourite things about the question between compilers and interpreters is the Futamura projections [0] which is a way of using partial evaluation to construct both things. It could be interesting if we see that getting used more explicit than something like GraalVM which one could argue is getting there. [1]

I used to live above Best Pizza (Williamsburg) and lived there when they opened. In my opinion, the best heuristic for good pizza is just the quality of tomatoes they use. San Marzano or Roma for the east coast, but on the west coast you have a ton of local options. I'm not saying you can't have good pizza from processed tomato sauce, I'm just saying that a place that cares about the quality of tomatoes also cares about the quality of their pizza.

A lot of quick order places will just have the cans visible. A great way to experiment with pizza is to just experiment with local tomatoes. I never wanted to become a pizza snob, but living on top of one of the most quality pizza joints in town and knowing the guys there and their favorite spots... well... now i am.

Here's a basic recipe from Frank. Anyone can make extremely high quality pizza at home by following his advice: https://youtu.be/whnvQBhXh3A

The funniest thing that happened there was probably when this interested guy was asking 'the locals' how we liked it, and what was popular... we found out a week later that he was very probably this NYT food reviewer: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/dining/reviews/09under.ht...
If 1% of the population taking a day off would cause billions of people to starve why do you think you would have the option of not working?

You would starve because at carrying capacity nearly all of your income would go to food. There wouldn't be any slack.

Admittedly, you'd have to be one of the 'farmers' to have a non-marginal effect on food production.

Why would 1% of the population that creates all the food allow you to have 'free' stuff if them working 1% less meant millions of people would die? They could make you do anything.
Thank you, someone had to mention it. Violence is part of natural law. The natural state of the world says you can’t hoard more resources than you can protect. Without a government monopoly on violence, billionaires get killed and their riches get plundered.
My mind about this has always been in a couple directions, but none of them point towards not open sourcing things. So, for one, I very heavily doubt that anyone would take this source code in Lisp of all things and release a product that could actually damage my sales. And even if they did so history shows that there's very likely practically nothing I could do about it. I'd just have to be upset about it happening, with no real chance of repercussion.

It is far more important to me to show confidence in my vision and to let other people learn from what I've done. In my view a lot more games should be open source, because far too much of the process is hidden behind mysticism, with far too many people wasting a ton of time reinventing things from scratch.

And, well, finally, I'd ultimately like to make everything I do available for free, anyhow. The only reason I'm selling Kandria is because there is no UBI in this country and probably won't be for many years to come, so I have to fund things somehow.
Universal basic income only works for a very short period of time. As we saw with the push to raise the minimum wage, once inflation rose, it wiped out any gains by the rise in minimum wage. If the government starts giving everyone a guaranteed basic income, the market, and the economy will respond in kind.

Prices will go up. More cash is available in the system. Therefore, the end result will be very little gained but a tremendous amount of money wasted
I read this in Bourdain's voice.
> the realization that people skills are actually no less important than tech skills in a tech setting.

Yes, and this is hard to accept: they are more important than technical skills. I have worked with many truly brilliant engineers who didn't see their ideas implemented because they didn't have good social/conversation skills. The most common version of this is the engineer who gets miffed/irritated/pissed off if people don't accept their ideas after 5 minutes of explanation. Meanwhile, the hustler whose code totally sucks gets the win because they know how to schmooze the business folks (or literally just tell the best lie).

Hard technical skills are not enough for most people to be successful. There are the outliers with "super programmer skills" (and here I'm thinking Linus Torvalds / John Carmack level status) who are just so indisputably expert that they should be heard. But even then they may not get the win. You have to know how to talk to others.
Just FWIW, threads like this should be prefixed with "Ask HN:".

Genuine Q: is this something that ever happens?
Would you trade a dozen workmen's lives to get a development project done in under one year, rather than two? Are there actually many examples of tech businesses doing this right now? It doesn't seem to happen all the time. You're comparing multiple fatalities on a single year project to micromorts.

It’s a bit odd that you ignore the existence of The Commons is a long historic norm, and then turn around then dismiss The Commons as being privately owned, rather than collectively owned and operated.

Or put another way, Prosperity and wealth are Abundance or surplus (more than what you need). Humans only create abundance through hard work and creativity.
That was surely true before civilization, private property, etc...

I'm open to new/creative ideas for how to build a society that guarantees everyone a "fair" shot at acquiring more abundance for themselves, if that's what they want. I'm sure there are better arguments for UBI, and it's unfortunate this terribly flawed one is getting so much attention.
While potentially true, this does not speak to the biggest part of their statement, which was that a predicted small cost project becomes an enormous cost project so regularly to the point that the smaller cost projects are altogether ignored, to the detriment of all.

$150, $1000, all of these are smaller than $15,000. One is a surprise laptop breaking and needing replace. The other is a surprise car purchase and cash purchase.
Yeah I occasionally get caught in the trap of trying their Brooklyn crust and every time I come to the conclusion that it's a lackluster disappointing product that isn't in any way different from any of their other pizzas in terms of quality. I've maybe had dominoes 2 times in the last 5 years which is why I keep forgetting XD
Why should the 99% accept a governance structure where they get only 1% of the power/wealth? I think the core issue is wealth inequality, and although I initially liked UBI, it doesn't really solve that issue. If we don't solve it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a situation where we end up with another failed attempt at communism/revolution and everyone loses.
If everything goes according to plan, Zig will be the only language that is capable of actually utilizing the AVR 24 bit address space properly, while also allowing you to make nice optimizations with the smaller 16 bit address spaces (Zig has first class address spaces on memory)

Also, RISC-V support is working quite fine, and i don't see much problems with that.

> But I don't think we need more AVR going forward. It's rather proprietary, no?

AVR is Arduino. It would be a bad action to basically say: "well, zig is not going to support the most widespread maker hardware on the market"

If you're using it and liking it, I personally wouldn't recommend switching. I didn't recommend it because at this point I don't trust Google to continue investing in it given multiple incarnations of Hangouts, prior Chat products, Allo, etc.
Depends on precision, you can run ~5B model with fp32 precision or ~11B fp16 model max. Int8 is really bad for real world use case so not mentioning it.

But if you are looking to get performance of ChatGPT or GPT-3 then don't waste your time, all GPT-3 like small LLM models (below at least 60B params) are useless for any real world use case, they are just toys.

> A reimplementation of Calendar in Swift is 1.5x to 18x as fast as the C one (calling from Swift in various synthetic benchmarks like creation, date calculation).

These sorts of statements in the industry always make me ask, "So did you guys make something terribly slow first, and then bring performance back close to where it originally was?"

I'm not sure if the current Calendar app was ported to Swift, was originally Objective-C based, and such efforts to move Foundation to Swift will just... make Calendar fast again?

Also, Calendar doesn't seem to be particularly slow in the first place. But I love performance engineering, and quality of life is big, so... hey cool.
We want to encourage people with capital to invest it in productive new ventures instead of just hoarding it. This increases economic growth and generally benefits society. Thus we incentivize those investments through the income tax code.

At least that's the economic theory. If we were to raise taxes on dividends, no one can really predict how much that would reduce the long-term economic growth rate.

To be fair, Waffle House completely overhauled their menu ~2 years(?) ago.

Gone is the 90s yellow a la carte one. Gone even is the replacement that at least kept the classics on the back.

Now it's $8+ meals, with token hashbrown options at the bottom.

Used to be, you could get a perfectly serviceable meal there for under-$6. E.g. double hashbrowns ($3) + single hamburger ($1) + drink ($1.5).

Now the closest thing to the same meal is double the price. Double hashbrown $5. Single hamburger doesn't exist, and hamburgers start at $6.
Why are you replying to me? That has nothing to do with what I was saying.

But I don't think either one of those is theft. I don't think the article was calling anything like that that theft either. It was complaining about how land ownership works.
The US has a problematic history of intervention in Haiti, so we aren't the first choice of pretty much anyone on the ground. And consensus is Haiti isn't where anyone is going to be able to shoot their way to a solution. There have been some negotiations around getting Canada to lead an intervention [1], but that hasn't apparently gone too far. So...it'll get a lot worse for most Haitians before it gets better.

You misunderestimate the power of the US Military. We could have reduced the entire country to ashes, and it probably would have cost a fraction of what it ultimately cost the US.

Yes.

I 100% agree, and I've only visited NYC a couple times.

Each time I visit, I try to eat at least one slice of pizza and one bagel every day. The thing that blows me away is how generally good they are, no matter where I buy them. Of course I'll look at reviews, but I won't walk more than 5 blocks to get a slice. Never been disappointed.

Same thing visiting Paris - you can hunt for the BEST croissant, but the remarkable thing is that nearly everywhere you shop, you'll find a really, really good one. I live near Arsicault in SF, and though they might make the BEST croissant in the US (and I will probably live a shorter life due to the number of them I put in my body every week), I'd trade that for a really good croissant on every corner.

I think it reflects having shared cultural values around the food and a knowledge in the community of what makes the food great both in terms of inputs and outputs, and I hope we never stop valuing good pizza!!

On the contrary, they're priming their audience's opinions with masterful efficiency.

In my “living experience” philosophy was used as a tool to enforce the “correct” thinking. It can be easily converted to such a tool, exactly because it has no strong tether to reality. Math is much less susceptible to such a conversion since each statement needs a proof, at least in principle.

And I don’t like the tendency to eliminate something just because it’s too hard for somebody. It may be reasonable in some cases, maybe even in this one - but where do we stop?
