I believe Cyprus and Malta are the more affordable options for gaining EU citizenship through a national investor program.

Supposedly bringing about $2 million into Cyprus will get you the passport.
I definitely get it about the constant bookmarking. There are often really good comments on HN, so I began saving the good ones in my Logseq journal. I save a ton of stuff in my Twitter bookmarks as well.

The key is to regularly re-visit these bookmarks and clean them up. For me it means categorizing these saved threads and comments under a specific theme. Maybe I'll write a blog post about it once I've arranged those ideas together. Even if I don't, the act of acting on those bookmarks reduces mental clutter.

Be sure to time-box it though. There's nothing more frustrating than opening up Twitter to review some old bookmarks and then getting distracted in the organization+deletion cycle for 45 mins.
Agree.

But must say, this is complex problem, not just car safety systems involved.

- Standard current EU practice, they constantly analyze incidents statistics, and looking for places, with much worse statistics than middle, and trying to make some changes, to make those places safer.

For example, in EU normal practice, to rebuild shape of road intersection, so there will not exist blind zones, where you don't see vehicles, approaching from other directions.

Other example, they trying to make road transparent, so you will see far, when appear transport congestion, and you have more time to slow down.

That did not seem in any way to be your point. You said

> I've never been convinced that there are more reals than integers

I'm explaining that your method of mapping reals to integers is flawed, and so does not prove that reals and integers have the same cardinality.
Yeah, UBI of a certain amount makes it possible for lower income folks to move further from areas they normally wouldn’t. I saw some poor native person break down the costs of how they wouldn’t need to live near a major metro anymore off of solely $12k / year. Healthcare is important of course but you can’t buy food and shelter with your healthcare unless you go to an emergency room. Hell, I’ve heard stories of some people that will go to emergency rooms and fake some symptoms just to get a bed and a meal. That’s just so damn sad and wildly inefficient uses of systems already overloaded. And really, so many problems in health for poor people come from lack of hope and/or money which BI trials have shown are drastically improved. Long-term I have few doubts that (U)BI will improve health outcomes in aggregate even without any adjustments to the rather shitty US system.

Having a lot of the poor simply leave these metro areas can reduce some demand for lower income housing as well as increase wages for the lower skill jobs of a region - it’s been shown repeatedly throughout the past few years in every country basically and how the stimulus checks didn’t do anything to rents either. When our poor don’t stomp on each other they can get some better market leverage through indirect collective action.
so pretty much another marketing stunt / scam
I can second that. I started a podcast almost 10 years ago with some friends. The guy who ran the site had analytics on everything. Each episode got maybe 100 downloads, but despite soliciting comments, only about 3 other people that we didn't know listened. It ultimately felt like a job, and I was putting too much effort into it and getting too little out of it. The format and topics on the show eventually felt long in the tooth, and I stopped in late 2019. If I figure out a plan to address those problems, I might start it again.
It's quite possible for 100% loss, has happened to me before. But I'm in a lot of different projects and I don't keep all my assets in one place. I've had farms yield 1000% before so it's a crazy game.

I'm very deep in this space and been doing it a long time, it's not something you are going to just pick up overnight. It's like running a business.
It must have been in the first round [1], but leaves open the question of whether this is still the case:

I would be far more interested in 4~8 core server CPUs that can run at 5-6GHz non-stop rather than 64-256 core parts. Intel already demonstrated 6GHz on the desktop, so I don't see why this would be infeasible.

I feel like if I need to coordinate work on more than 32 cores, I might as well start talking to the GPU or some other accelerator. Latency isn't going to be fantastic in any arrangement with more than 1 logical CPU looking at the same data.

There are a lot of applications in fintech, databases, etc., where you have this one golden thread that runs nearly 100% of the business. Doubling the frequency under this would have a positive impact on performance margins.
Heh, thank you. It almost wrote itself.

I was trying to cook up a clever tagline, and fell upon "static sites from shell" and my brain looped about and found the tongue twister, sort of like "She sells sea shells on the sea shore", and well all esh shounds shtarted shounding like thish.

These days I like that name more because it (hopefully) alerts the Dear Reader about the quality of software they are about to visit, should they take it upon themselves to do so.

You don't ask permission to look at an image that is publicly on display. AFAIK there is no law saying that machine learning bots are forbidden to look at an image that is publicly on display.

Is the long term consumption of caffeine really a good idea?

I would expect the tolerance build up to negate the positive effects fairly quickly. Most people that need to have their coffee in the morning are NOT more awake than a non-coffee drinker but need the coffee to just reach their normal baseline.

So you would need higher and higher dosages to see any positive effects and at that point you get nasty side-effects like heart racing and insomnia.
I'll have to check this out, thanks for mentioning it. I would be thoroughly surprised if it actually integrated with the rest of the engine though--my guess is they sacrificed this deep integration (foregoing the replication replay system, etc.) just to get something that works.

"only around 14%" kills me, I remember people buying new CPUs every year for definitely less improvement than that because of how critical it is
Because decarbonization is being combined with all number of other social and technological changes. For instance, there is a strong connection between those who promote EVs and those promoting self-drive cars (ie Tesla). And there are connections between EV proponents and those who want to see fewer cars on the road. (Interesting doublethink there as reducing the cost of owning/operating a car won't exactly reduce their use.) The anti-nuclear crowd is tied up with many who simply want to reduce all forms of energy use. They generally dislike all large projects and want us all to run our own off-grid solar systems. I've even heard people rant about nuclear from a purely anti-mining perspective, not to mention those who cannot envision much difference between nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs.

Hydrogen is coming, just maybe not directly to cars for a while. The airline industry (big planes, not Cessnas) sees hydrogen as one of two options, the other being zero-emission hydrocarbons (fuel from air). Every airline exec dreams of the day they might generate their own fuel from water at plants right beside the planes. Airbus is working on a hydrogen demonstration rig inside an A380. Once airlines start generating their own hydrogen supplies locally at airports, a hydrogen fueling infrastructure for cars might just appear overnight.
Unions often have coasters and quiet quitters. As an experienced developer I would never work with people like that.
I don't think it's any specific scenario like that they're afraid of.

It's more that the changes this technology will lead to are extremely hard to predict, and Alphabet (and Alphabets many powerful friends) have far more to lose than to gain.
I disagree with this. I prefer walking without listening to anything, I find it helps me actually come up with ideas and thoughts of my own.
The "bad habit" is poor impulse control and failure to control focus. That's something that is so central to ADHD that all I can ever really hope to do is mitigate it.

Sometimes having 50 tabs open is a sign that I'm distracted and sometimes it's a sign up being really productive. All I can hope to do is make sure that the needle swings to the latter more often than the former and that I have a good strategy to recover when it doesn't.
I would say that both sides have social obligations to fulfill their part of a contract according to their best effort while the contract is active, but also both sides are free to change / terminate contract (with respect to contract terms and laws) - both employer doing layoffs, or employee asking for raise or leaving the job.
>allow you to do one thing at a time

Yep, this is why I chose truck driving as a job. I am looking to change out of it now after 12 years, but there's no short list of 'one thing at a time'jobs, and the ADHD has prevented me from learning programming so far.

This seems predictable, though, no? I sorta figured that it'd go like blogging, and here we are.

What surprises me is how many podcasts are INSANELY long -- like, 2+ hours. Where do people find the time to listen?

(Granted, I say this as someone with a zero podcast diet. I'm not opposed to them or anything; I just don't have a place in my life for listening to them. I have no commute. I prefer music when cooking or cleaning or whatnot. My exercise is usually biking, and I don't listen to anything for that.)
Tesla Model Y wins 2023 safety award with “near-perfect safety rating”
this misguided and only purpose it serve to make these company die sooner.

Main problem these company took benefit of cheap interest rates and overhired. hiring for promotion and ego. hiring not sake of true business growth.

Saw entire teams and orgs at two big tech companies sitting idle..senior and staff engineers have no commit in over a year. ok..maybe they doing design work or something else to drive efficiency or cross org optimization.

but no, even college level hires have no commit or other meaningful work. reasonable question: what they do? especially when team own no critical service and even have no support burden..why 7 engineers plus 3 managers?

meanwhile managers getting increasing hc and fighting territory battle.

this was massive grift. a union only make the grift last longer. real solution: remove dead weight.. massive bureaucracy..go back to entreprenurial root of company and what it vision.
In the relevant sense of safety, they are safer. The commenter's claim was not about vulnerabilities, since those apply to implementations, not to languages.

The semantics of F#/Scala are memory safe because they're defined to be dynamic. The semantics of Rust are not memory safe. A subset of Rust is provably memory safe, but none that uses eg. much of the standard library which is unprovably memory safe against the lang's own semantics.
Not even episode syncing works (for me). I clearly finished watching an episode yet regularly on another device the next episode would be the one I already watched. Just one of many basic things that doesn't work.

I forgot to add that not only will they change "currently playing" every 3 secs, also the cover art of each series changes, as an A/B test. So if you use that as a visual confirmation, well tough luck.

In the case of Netflix, there's a reason for all of this. They don't really want you to go and sniff around the catalog in easy ways. You might discover its not great. Best to throw a bunch of random stuff in your face to give you the illusion of a fabulously rich and "dynamic" experience.

The distraction UX of Netflix is intentional. In the case of Spotify it's mostly incompetence.
It's pretty close to working with a local software house receiving works (customers) from the U.S. and operate team as "project base". Except you can't rotate into projects across companies and get paid about +30-40% of local market rates.
Leak: Update on Qualcomm's Apple M rival – 8cx Gen 4, codename Hamoa
I've done a lot of remote work, mostly "in" EU/USA, and it's totally up to what you are agree upon. Normally, at least for longer contracts, it's normal to get paid in the employer's currency, upon pay day that value is transferred to your bank account, and some place on the way it's converted to your currency based on the current exchange rate.

But you can also invoice the company you are working for, and then do the same in reverse, except it's usually you who do the conversion on the day you invoice them.

For long contracts, more than 6 months, I would definitely take into account the exchange rate. For shorter contracts, I wouldn't care. I'm from Norway, and none of the currencies I have worked "with" changes dramatically.
>It feels like the "save the planet" movement, or at least some shards of it, come with a very specific notion of how exactly it is ok to save the planet

Yes, it does. It a very thinly veiled anti human movement. Ultimately, there is a loud sub section of environmentalists whose only acceptable solution will be "less humans" and they dupe a number of their fellow travellers with endless "but what about X" problems so that realistic solutions to climate change and pollution will not be enacted, and thus the only outcome left will be "fewer humans".

They are despicable people. Also, they can safely be ignored. Anyone who's anti human does not have your best interests at heart, and thus shouldn't be listened to.
TIDALs sister company TBD touches on that here https://developer.tbd.website/blog/what-is-web5/
If you have iOS, there's an app called SongShift. I think some features are paid, but I used it once a few years ago to transfer my Spotify library into Apple Music to try it out. It looks like it can also export to JSON too (that might be a paid feature?).

I go to HN to seek distraction on purpose; if I'm busy enough with work and able to concentrate on it I probably wouldn't bother as much.

But I think everyone will find something to do with their brain when it's understimulated, and HN and its wealth of interesting things is a big source of stimulation.

I've got little else to add that others haven't already mentioned though.
Google Play Music was designed in a pre-streaming world, when albums were much more popular.

Unfortunately, very few people use streaming services to listen to albums.

It is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, but given the minuscule usage of albums by users, it’s not worth Spotify’s time to optimize the album playback experience. (Same goes for Classical music.)

Your problem with a static, duplicate list of suggested music sounds like a bug. Somehow Spotify’s recommendation algorithm has run out of ideas of what to show you, so it just shows you the same thing several times.
The forced outage rate of nuclear is between 1% and 20% depending on how the program is run (abandoning plants that are having problems vs. Maintaining the whole fleet) and last weeks. The scheduled outage rate is 15%. Your backup has to be able to cover several months.

Spending an equal amount on VRE, transmission and storage gives you a much lower shortfall per dollar for a given power target than spending the same money on nuclear. Shortfalls over 1 week are incredibly rare. The curtailed energy also decarbonizes many other things like iron reduction and ammonia production.
The Great Pandemic Bull Trap
> All real numbers, and all numbers of any other variety, can be written with a finite number of symbols. That's what it means to give something a name.

This is untrue and not particularly hard to prove by contradiction.

Suppose every elements in R can be named by a finite number of symbols.

You can build a bijection between R and the names of its elements (by definition a name points to a unique element and if elements have multiple names, you can easily well order a finite number symbols by building a lexicographic order and only consider the smallest name).

Or, you can also easily build a bijection between a finite number of symbols and N. That's just an encoding like ASCII or UTF-8. Therefore, the set of names is countably infinite.

Yet R is uncountable (see Cantor's diagonal argument).

Therefore, by contradiction, there has to exist elements in R which can't be named by a finite number of symbols.
They say that “public” means what “private” used to mean, “added to profile” means what “public” used to mean, and “private” now means that people can’t see the playlist at all even if they have a link to it. But it’s completely unclear which setting controls whether someone can search for the playlist by name and find it. I found out about this public/private change because I somehow got a subscriber to a playlist I’d thought was completely private, so I’m sure the previously private playlists actually did become more public without my permission…

The folks at Humminbird have been responsible for producing some of the very best fish finding technology on the market for a number of years now, and the Humminbird Helix 5 Chirp GPS G3 Fish Finder is a perfect representation of the top-tier technology that they are able to bring to the table.
I think its fantastic that people go to such lengths to keep old titles like this playable on newer hardware.

One big reason errors like that are usually unhelpful is for security. I would love it if my SQL errors printed the offending row out but that row also has PII so it can't be saved to a log. They'd need to be encrypted or stored in the database itself somehow to not ruin 10 layers of PII protections.

Given that the majority of Apple's revenue comes from things like hardware sales and services like the App Store, I doubt there'd be much of an upside if Apple were to develop their AI capabilities since there's not much use it can serve in those areas

This is especially given the amount of investment these other companies have been putting in to get the results that they have, so it seems like it's just a case of it not being worth it to them
>>Your argument would apply to every level of the state after all, including your city council.

That would depend on the State Constitution, and the powers it gives state governments, and the power those state governments then give the cities they authorized under their state laws

That is the beauty federalism, what applies to the Federal Government does not have to Apply to State Governments.
Using simple interpolation to perform fractional pixel shears should do the trick.
I don't want to sound unsympathetic, but a lot of these companies massively over hired over the last couple of years. While others were losing their jobs during the pandemic tech employees were in higher demand than ever. In fact, I'd argue the demand for tech workers has been so high over the last couple of years that a lot of people who really shouldn't have got a job based on their experience were able to do so.

I'd also note that the severance packages most tech companies have been offering their employees have been very fair, and with tech skills being almost universally valuable across industries it's not hard for good tech workers to quickly find tech jobs if they're happy to work outside of the tech sector.

If people want to form a union then fine, but I'm not sure what you expect. Spotify isn't profitable. With the cost of capital rising and a potential recession looming they obviously need to be financially cautious otherwise everyone at the company will eventually lose their job.

First off there's nothing about Rust here. But this quote:

> In particular, the work on the C++ Core Guidelines specifically aims at delivering statically guaranteed type-safe and resource-safe C++ for people who need that without disrupting code bases that can manage without such strong guarantees or introducing additional tool chains

Tells me he doesn't really "get it." People do not follow the core guidelines, and other languages are designed such that there aren't guidelines. There's a type checker (wave hands here) that proves your code and its dependencies are memory safe (within some sane definition).

Another thing worth mentioning is that "type safety" isn't something other languages need to worry about since it's generally not possible to tell a type checker that it's wrong.
