Picasso was at a Paris market when an admirer approached and asked if he could do a quick sketch on a paper napkin for her. Picasso politely agreed, promptly created a drawing, and handed back the napkin but not before asking for a million Francs.

The lady was shocked: “How can you ask for so much? It took you five minutes to draw this!”

“No”, Picasso replied, “It took me 40 years to draw this in five minutes.

> And second, the authors describe the curious fact that producers located in more-productive areas do not grow at expected rates. Indeed, rather than construction inputs flowing to areas where they are more productive, the activity share of these areas either stagnates or even falls. The authors suggest that this problem with allocative efficiency may accentuate the aggregate productivity problem for the industry.

So... basically high-rises and mobile homes?

It's hard not to see this as a direct result of city councils universally loathing oversized housing blocks.
Very interesting! Given the fees charged to sellers, I assumed that Visa/MasterCard/... would tax the banks as well.
Hell, Amazon bought a fairly not insignificant stake in a random no-name Korean handhelds company (Point Mobile). Their devices have been rolling out in FCs to replace Zebra handhelds left and right.

Though... that was also because their main handheld vendor (Zebra) bought their own warehouse robotics company, so a bit of a signal to Zebra that they don't play well when their partners become competitors.

As someone who uses nix daily for work and home, I've found that there is always a nice concise way to accomplish what I want, but finding that solution is extremely difficult. It seems like the best (and sometimes only) documentation is the code itself, so until you get comfortable with the language you are missing a majority of the documentation. It's a catch-22, you have to know nix to learn nix. It really shouldn't have to be that way.

Copper is superior. I specifically went out of my way to find a house with large swaths of the plumbing done with copper. Pretty neat to have anti-microbial properties built in.
Honestly, not really. Even with a "super nerd" community like Voron, the popular opinion is to print ABS for functional parts but none of the standard designs include air filtering and the advice is to "just ventilate". I've noticed over the past months that questions about the "Nevermore" filter have increased but it's certainly not a widely shared best practice yet.
Well... there is a distinction there... permissioned blockchain, no... "decentralized" bc, yes. All assuming that governments agree to acknowledge it, which, I agree, will likely never happen on a global scale. That said, other globally disruptive things have happened, like shorttermrentals and rideshare... so, who knows.

>It just turned out that "you're not allowed to use these any more" sparked some significant innovation in alternatives.

Source? My impression was that alternatives were already being developed prior to widespread ban. A quick wikipedia search confirms this. The montreal protocol was signed in 1987 and came into effect in 1989, but by that time alternatives already existed.

> But wait. It’s true that there are only countably many “symbolic descriptions,” and uncountably many real numbers, but it doesn’t follow that there are specific real numbers which cannot be described using a finite collection of symbols, does it?

It does follow because the set of finite collections of symbols is countable.
This is a cool app I was excited to try it. Couple points of feedback:

- There is a popup every few seconds encouraging me to pay. Let me at least try it for a minute or two? I've seen the popup about 5 times while trying the app for just a couple minutes.

- Use the system light/dark mode instead of defaulting to dark mode

- Show language names instead of codes "EN" etc.
This is kinda like what Amazon does with their channels, which is a bit clunky in various ways, but on the whole I don't hate the model. (besides the fact that the increasing fragmentation of content means I have to have a dozen subscriptions).

What I really want is some sort of meta "subscription manager" where I could mark what I'm currently watching and what I always want access to, and it could manage cancelling and uncancelling the various subscriptions that I have. Even better if it could just give me access to everything through a unified interface. I would pay for this - I think it could save a lot of money.

What I've been doing recently is whenever I sign up for a new thing, I just immediately cancel. That way when I hit the end of the month and I'm not using Peacock or Shudder or whatever other bench team service, I just won't have it any more. If I need it again, rinse and repeat.

Currently the only subscriptions I'm maintaining long-term are HBO and Disney. Disney will probably be a long-runner as long as my kids still want to use it for Bluey and the odd movie. HBO has their classic shows like The Sopranos and Deadwood, plus the Adult Swim catalogue, so they land in a good value spot for me too.
Which are you referring to?

I’m referring to western civilization, which has been broadly Christian since Emperor Constantine (the 300s).

> Religion, all religion, had been a drag on progress

That’s a bold claim - are you sure that your fast-moving atheistic society would sustain itself? Prominent recent examples such as the USSR have failed spectacularly. Cosmopolitan societies like ancient Persia were overrun by the religious - ie they were outcompeted. Europe too, would have been overrun by Islam, had the Christian kingdoms not banded together in the middle ages.

Certainly it’s possible, but the absence of evidence confirming it is stark to my eye.
With flakes it is reproducible in a self-contained way.
I'd strongly suggest you look at Kanban over sprint for your work, if you deal with a lot of emerging priorities. The value of sprint is the shorter-but-fixed work windows. If you need to consistently manage priorities that change work within this timeframe, sprint is a worse approach. You probably have a good idea of how much of your work (over time) is interrupt-driven, so if you need to do some project-oriented work you can split capacity across these streams and then run them differently.
> it is not a universally held position among those who identify as right-wing

Nobody said it was universal. But it is incredibly dishonest to pretend that there isn't a huge effort to destroy public education among the right wing. Libraries are under attack across the nation, and there is a major push to dissolve the separation of church and state. This movement is underway, and it's being pushed by the right wing. That is not to say that every single conservative supports it.

> Additionally, making it a crime to teach is not a tactic that is being used by any mainstream political group or party.

Except, did you read the article? It's a felony for teachers to have wrongthink books in their classrooms. The Ministry of Truth maintains a list of permissible books. This is a law passed by DeSantis, the most likely 2024 candidate for president. If that ain't mainstream, I don't know what is.
Sears was already in the wrong place at that time because not just was it incapable of turning on a dime, it already had corporate raiders inside it turning over every couch for leftover dimes. It was already getting chopped up and shopped for parts by the time the internet arrived.

I want to tone that down somewhat : I think that I misremembered that Planck's length and time were derived from the uncertainty principle... while looking into it, it might not be as obvious ? (So you need both ?)

And would you get quantification of mass~energy from that of the impulse (through v having dimensions of space and time), or do you need to use a different approach and assume black holes ? (Or both, and pick the biggest value ?)
A good pair of headphones would be my next choice.

It's not much "under" it - but rather the fill your senses with what it would be like to be in the Mynster as each nave did their chats in the great octagonal hall. And while its a passage about the Hundreders...

> We sauntered across the meadow to the Mynster. Even so, we got there in plenty of time, and ended up in the front row, closest to the screen. Voco continued ringing for some minutes after we arrived. Then the eight ringers filed down from their balcony and found places farther back. A choir of Hundreders came out into the chancel and began a monophonic chant.

Or the description of a Thousander chat

> ... As I walked toward it my perceptions cleared suddenly and I shook my head in amazement at my own silliness in having imagined it was an amphibian or a truck. It was plainly a human voice. Singing. Or rather droning, for he had been stuck on the same note the whole time I’d been awake.

> The note changed slightly. Okay, so it wasn’t a drone. It was a chant. A very, very slow one.

> I could have stood there watching and listening for hours. I got the idea—which might have been just my imagination—that {spoilers} was singing a cosmographical chant: a requiem for the stars that were being swallowed up in the dawn. Certainly it was music of cosmographical slowness. Some of the notes went on for longer than I could hold my breath. He must have some trick of breathing and singing at the same time.

Just let the sound fill everything.
Wow imagine that, the ability to wirelessly display video. Decades later and we can’t even do that today reliably, easily or cheaply.

Computer scientists don't have a choice. And not all mathematicians do accept non-computable objects. Constructive and intuitionistic mathematics are two approaches that bring some questions (doubt?) of the continuum.

Show, HN: Say goodbye to endless Venmo requests and money fights
Hi everyone! 70% of couples in the U.S. move in together before getting married. Expense sharing is their first financial experience together, but there’s no seamless, modern solution to make this easier. The status quo ranges from clunky and annoying (Venmo + a spreadsheet) to too serious (a joint account). Right now millions of couples are combining their lives in dozens of ways, but living financially separate.

My team and I built Tandem given we experienced this pain point personally. Tandem is an iOS app that eliminates the back-and-forth of Venmo, without the need to get a joint bank account or card. Couples can import expenses from their current credit or debit cards, easily select which items to split with their partner, and settle up at any time.

Would love to hear what you think or how you currently handle money with a partner.
The stock price has more then halved since 2021, and based on their business model and history of profit, as an employee, I would not value the stock portion of compensation much.

As far as I can tell, Apple/Google/Amazon will always provide the ceiling price for how much Spotify can charge its customers, hence capping revenue, and the 3 record labels will always extract just enough to keep Spotify operating.

In a similar situation to Netflix, Spotify’s play would have to be to create their own content to lower their costs, but that is much easier said than done.
>- Netflix has 5-6 Billion USD free cash flow, and because they got what debt they do have under favorable terms, they are positioned to retain most of that free cash flow

This is a bit off. They had 1.6 billion in FCF in 2022 & project 3 billion for 2023:

That said, to me Netflix feels like it is lagging. Not enough to really hurt subscriber numbers yet. But feels like it's stuck in a local minima of A/B testing. Like they've driven me to the line of canceling. Which is good for them because I haven't yet but risky because Netflix is more a habit/default for me these days. Pretty close to canceling and not sure what would draw me back if I did.
I was able to view this article as a non-subscriber, not sure why though.

Okay, but can you prove that?

I have a 1.9 GB mp4 file on my harddrive. It contains 2 hours and 15 minutes of 1080p video data at 24 fps. Assuming it was generated from 4096x2160 16-bit color depth source material, the "training data" was 10.32 TB. I bet I could even get a similar size reduction as LAION-2b if I recompressed it to 720p.

Could I not also claim that I created an advanced AI model, which did not copy but learned patterns in the dataset? Modern video compression algorithms are getting quite complicated, after all.

I think no reasonable person would agree with this, but can you prove that the AI model is doing something substantially different?
Keep in mind that the companies listed on that website are hiring globally.

By not disclosing a salary range these companies would only cut off three states of ONE country.

Also, I'm pretty sure that if most of these companies disclosed the salary range it wouldn't be interesting for people living in the states in question.

What seems like an entry level salary for people in California, Washington, New York or Colorado is actually a great salary in pretty much 90% of the world. It shouldn't be a surprise that there are companies which decide to draw from the talent pool of this other 90% of the world.

Of course, it would still be nice if all companies started disclosing the salary range. I'd just be a bit more careful with strong statements like "this isn't a winning strategy" when talking about 4 states of one country in the context of the entire world.

I always find academic talk of morality interesting since there is no consistent basis or axiom set defining morality. Examples like the "switch dilemma" -- it is better to save five lives than one life -- assumes some unspoken foundation for morality. Here the focus is more on the consistency of moral action, but even that can be nonsense unless a moral axiom set is laid down.
You are correct. This discussion is about ideological purity. Meanwhile we are still are the experimental stage to determine what technologies will actually work in the real world. Instead of "letting a hundred flowers bloom", we are railing against those who dare to violate the "little green book".

It just makes the Green movement look like extremists.

I recently purchased a 3d printer, and I looked for articles talking about the risks associated with PLA fumes. This article[1] seems to be popularly cited, which includes the statement "PLA doesn’t look like a problem." I think this is what in my experience has been largely the sentiment when I have asked around, and read forum posts about the topic. At my local library there is a makerlab space, they are free to use and they basically run them non-stop uncovered in the room.

One of the other points I found interesting was that someone mentioned that a lot of the printers are manufactured in China where there isn't as much regulation around required safety warnings. However, NIOSH does have a short page[2] on 3d printer safety.

In my mind as a new hobbyist it seems like the combination of two issues.

1. The way 3d printers are currently designed and marketed is primarily an open-air style that can be used just out of the box. Enclosures are usually at least as much as a consumer level printer, and you need to have a way to vent it to the outside.

2. The thinking from the community is largely "PLA doesn't look like a problem" and only use an enclosure for ABS and more toxic materials.

I understand the comments around hobbyists shouldn't be the ones designing filtration systems, but it does seem reasonable to

> In the Eurozone there's SEPA Instant which is close but requires a bank account number. In the US... checks in the mail? Or third party middlemen for the fun of it.

SEPA's equivalent in the US is ACH, and in recent years ACH (which is a much older system) has mostly closed the gap with SEPA. Also, SEPA Instant exists, but not all banks are guaranteed to support it - as of even just a few months ago, many popular banks don't support it, which means that using SEPA reduces to ACH (in terms of payout settlement and information flow at POS).

Europe also has additional country-specific methods, so you can lean on (e.g.) iDEAL or or BACS if you know you're primarily dealing with Dutch or British customers, but that's not going to help you if you need seamless use across Europe.

ACH just never took off culturally in the US as a popular payment scheme - in part because of the easy availability of credit cards, which are usually free to the consumer and provide additional protections (such as chargebacks) that both ACH and SEPA lack. By contrast, credit card adoption is historically much lower in Europe (especially when segmented by country), so it makes sense that SEPA, for all its drawbacks, would catch on as a more popular method.

Of course, all of these pale in comparison to India's payment schemes, which are light-years ahead.
I'm with you in principle, but I worry that this would result in defunding the schools which need the most help: those in the most extremist states willing to accept funding revocation in response to book bans.
The profit cap started out as 100x investment:

economic returns for investors and employees are capped (with the cap negotiated in advance on a per-limited partner basis). Any excess returns go to OpenAI Nonprofit. Our goal is to ensure that most of the value (monetary or otherwise) we create if successful benefits everyone, so we think this is an important first step. Returns for our first round of investors are capped at 100x their investment (commensurate with the risks in front of us), and we expect this multiple to be lower for future rounds as we make further progress.

Time to market tends to dominate most conversations around planning, but as I look back on a 10 year stint that I recently finished with a company, I am firmly convinced that this is the wrong strategy.

Time and time again, I saw teams making compromises and taking shortcuts to shave a week off of a project timeline—only to have a crummy and bug laden release create negative first impressions with our customers.

Many features were poorly validated for market fit and were sunset just a year or two after release, as the maintenance cost outweighed value.

My (admittedly biased) opinion is that the best way to deliver value to a business is to spent a lot of time and energy figuring out what your customers actually want, which is usually just a few key things, and then take the time to build those features the right way (less time pressure because the surface area is smaller).

This lowers the ongoing maintenance cost, as the team has the time necessary to do the work properly, and increases CSAT and retention.

When it is time to build something new, the team isn’t so bogged down with maintenance and debt, so they can focus more directly on the problem in front of them.

Sadly, it rarely seems to go this way.
TLDR; because they hired so many during the pandemic and are afraid they are overstaffed as the economy dives deeper into recession.
Yeah, but that's looking at them today, as the definitive #1 fab in the world.

The path they took to get here was all about doubling down on Apple.
Not Europe. I pay with my Apple watch everywhere. UPI is good for merchants due to no MDR (for now) and no capex requirement in terms of devices etc. From a customer POV, UPI hardly adds value (ApplePay / GPay / Contact-less works much better).
