so much this. I read other folks around here talking about how low the pay is at a startup and just think how it's all relative. I'm not buying Porsches or anything but my life is leagues different. My first job in tech was ~75k and I was ecstatic.
I read it. Unless I’m missing something, it amounts to making a slave race out of someone’s mind scan. So I’m someone who never eats animals nor animal products. This is in part from the sheer scale of that industry. But also from simply interacting with non-humans and knowing there’s enough intelligence there for me to honor and be horrified at the suffering or destruction of it.

But I’m clearly in the minority here in my views of humanities treatment of non-humans. Perhaps that’s the real disturbing part of that story. It’s believable (if not technically yet).

True, yes. It just seems to me like conventional battery farms are not going to make much sense in a lot of places, and hydro pumped storage will. Another user pointed out that the size inefficiency is severe enough with hydro pumped storage that it is less grid scale suitable than I thought, so that difference between hydro pumped storage and conventional battery farms is less than I thought. Regardless, energy storage is a huge problem that’s going to require lots of deference to practicality and as many simple solutions as possible. Frankly I’m not sure it is possible, which is why I’m a big advocate for nuclear.

The number of people that it would work for would easily justify the cost of the IRS sending out prepared taxes.

That some small sliver of people have complicated taxes or want to itemize their expenses is not a good reason to complicate the activity for the majority that have straightforward taxes.

And then if you want to simplify, just eliminate deductions altogether (and shift brackets to compensate). Eliminating top bracket income for the mortgage interest on a huge house is pretty regressive, for example.
That's cool but I needed a phone number for several months.

Travel is increasingly expensive. Eating out, RV parks, campgrounds, etc - it's all more expensive than even just a few years ago. Boondocking and cooking in your vehicle can be very cheap, leaving fuel as a considerable cost if you are regularly moving any sort of distance.

Recently, we took a 2-3 month trip in our 25' vehicle and at some points we were averaging $100-150/day on fuel (10 mpg, $6/gallon). I'd love to see the price of electric van/bus chassis come down.

For more and more people, this is their way of life rather than just a little annual trip. Not everyone is going to buy a new RV, but a reasonable number are looking at financing a van for conversion rather than slave over a DIY project with limited skills.

As you move from country to country, employment laws and tax laws change as well.

Your employment contract will probably be illegal in some countries, and this could cause legal troubles for both you and your employer.

Depending on how much time you spend in a country (and this threshold may vary from country to country), you may be required to pay taxes there. This could as well affect the employer, who may also be required to pay part of your taxes.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, just really really hard, both you and the employer would need to hire an expert on taxes and labor law for each country you go to.

Show HN: Lungy – transform breathing into real-time generative graphics
Hey HN!

I'm a doctor working in London UK and Lungy is my first app. I started working on it during COVID, and it has just launched on the app store. Lungy (https://www.lungy.app) is designed to make breathing exercises much more engaging and fun, initially for stress and anxiety, and then eventually, hopefully for people with breathing problems such as asthma, COPD and long COVID. Lungy includes real-time cloth, fluid and softbody sims running on the phone's GPU and also generates music with a sequencer and polyphonic synth. Everything is generative, so the whole download is < 50MB.

Would love to know what you think and very happy to answer other questions. Thank you!

It’s foolish if taken too far, I think, but useful often.

The trouble is even if outright false claims are responded to with a Wikipedia or news article (and possibly nothing further), with a large enough audience, the proponents of the falsehood will eventually try to subvert that Wikipedia or news article.

AAA games are way deep into diminishing returns for the last 10 years when it comes to rendering. A 2010 game with good art style can still look great if you run it on a high resolution display, while other games with much more impressive 2010-era rendering technology but poor art style have aged badly.

It makes little sense to reduce the quality of games to their rendering technology and 3D API of choice.

It seems difficult for the company to ensure that you have a work permit for any country you might be going to.

There are countries where you really don't want to get caught working without a work permit, but even in more lenient places in general it's just dangerous for the company to be caught in this situation.

And to legalise that work (even between EU countries) means they have to get involved with yet another fiscal system which is probably a lot of overhead for just one guy wanting to work in any country he likes.

My firm won't even allow remote work outside of the state. The reasoning is that you might have to be called to the office on short notice.
Buy the bar. No joke, this is how you turn bartending into a career. I have friends that did it from bartender -> manager -> owner, all at the same dive.

Oh, and you want it to be a dive bar. Or craft beer. Food is a pain in the ass, fancy cocktail bars are hyper competitive and not always profitable.

Dives get the best crowds/most dedicated regulars, and you can make a mint with high-turnover beer/shot specials.

Because it is most likely illegal for you to work in that country you choose, unless both you and your company satisfy a lot of requirements (for most countries) including work visa and company having physical presence in that country or digital nomad visa. Though it’s true that a lot of nomads get away with it, but a lot of companies don’t want that hassle/risk.

Switzerland is a decentralized federal state where cantons get a great deal of autonomy, eg Zug (near Zurich) is famous for having low taxes and being very friendly to crypto companies.

Many US companies are also unwilling to let remote staff operate in states where they don't have operations, because they're concerned about creating a "nexus" there and becoming liable for state sales taxes etc.

I agree, I think the politicization of the covid-vaccine, and almost forced vaccination in many countries and places of e.g. people younger that 20-30 years who would stand to get no benefit from the vaccine whatsoever has created an anti-vax sentiment that will now stay with us for quite a while.

Hopefully this skepticism won't spread to the many vaccines for diseases that are much more dangerous than Covid-19.
FWIW: For people not reading tfa, note that while the title is wide and general, the actual concern expressed in the text is much more specific: It's about not needing to argue in favour of your employer in public.
Also not mentioned: Visas and permits. Not allowing it for a "relatively small amount of time" means that you aren't encouraging your employees to go to a country on "vacation" and working through it, all while being on a tourist visa that doesn't actually allow you to work while you are visiting. This is a pretty common rule for a tourist visa.

The things others have said are valid as well.

One unfortunate thing I have learnt through experience: it's not a good idea to do business with anybody unless it's relatively easy and convenient to sue them or have them arrested, if need be.
Sure, parameters are not updated, but ANNs are universal approximates, so they can model whatever it is you envision this “scratch space” doing. Think about it like this: whatever gets put in to the scratch space would need to be deterministic based on the inputs, i.e. it would just be a store if some intermediate value computed by the network. So how would it fundamentally differ from the network itself.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’d want an explanation how how this scratch space fundamentally differs from the network itself. It’s almost like you’re assuming the network is “thinking” and that giving it a pad of paper would help it reason better.

Without being an expert: I know large companies that have a remote-first, fixed country policy, but allow exceptions under special circumstances (e.g., for family reasons). My assumption is that if one wants to support an employee in a good way, it's worth the paperwork in case of such special circumstances, but it's an unacceptable risk to allow it by default and try to play catch-up as a substantial part of the workforce moves around the globe.
Thanks! Didn't think of myself that way but feels good to hear it
That actually depends on the specific costs. There is a clear business desire to replace capex with opex even when the resulting expenditure is higher. This achieves that at the pcb soldering level.

It does not have to be a good idea to get traction.

The difference is in the amount of zeal with which conformism is enforced. The social pressure to comform is ridiculously low in Europe and North America compared to most of the world.

Kind of a fraught comparison. SpaceX intentionally learned by blowing rockets up, figuring out what went wrong, fixing, and trying again.

Apple Has So Far Avoided Layoffs: Lean Hiring, No Free Lunches
Is that maybe partly because the billing on CTs is completely out of step with the apparent cost?

To the extent that there are regulatory hurdles to buying and operating a CT suite (and there are such hurdles in many states), there should be regulation that ensures that the billing is reasonable. Instead, you pay like a whole number percentage of the cost of running the damn thing for a year.
> With Blink opacity, filter, and transform will skip past layout and paint after the first render.

Thanks! Didn't realize opacity was mostly fixed. In my head it as still very problematic because I know that opacity changes are very frowned upon by device manufacturers (like smart TVs). The reasons are actually mentioned in the video:

- they "don't trigger layout and can often bypass paint" (so paint isn't always bypassed)

- "compositing is not free. If you are on resource constrained devices, you really need to watch your composited layer count"

The vast majority of devices in the world out there are resource constrained: cheap smartphones are ubiquitous. But then there's also things like smart TVs etc. Hence my reaction to opacity changes :)
Is that true? I'd guess that Thai medicine is a lot cheaper. I have digital nomad-style insurance and I kind of assume that my co-pays will be less than those in the US. American Healthcare is crazy expensive.

Anecdote: I once got sick in Luxembourg (pretty expensive country overall) without health insurance. Saw a doctor in the format of urgent care. Got prescribed antibiotics + something else. Total cost for doc + drugs was 40 euros. No way I get off that easily in the States.
RV heat pump are not that sophisticated because there doesn't seem to be much demand, they simply flip over to furnace. They are the same on the cooling side, they are no where near as advanced as a modern variable speed mini split.

There is no reason they could be more advanced with lower temperature support, they would just cost more. Many people put mini splits when making their own RV's because they work better and want to run off battery as much as possible.
You know, I hadn't even considered that. I appreciate that perspective. Thank you.

(and this threshold may vary from country to country)

To be more specific: this depends on treaties between the country of residence and the country of employment, so it can vary for every combination of countries. It may even mean that taxes are due in both countries (double taxation), and getting a tax waiver in one of them may require legal proceedings and/or expensive accountants.
Japanese culture also has a number of "ritual purity" elements, such as taking shoes from outside off in the genkan (vestibule) before stepping into the main part of a house, and ritual cleansing with water when visiting a shrine. I understand that Japan is far more economically advantaged than India, but even so, the difference in how clean things are between New York City (for example) and any major city in Japan is quite stark.

Not related to a pathogen, but there have been studies in seeing if untackled celiac disease causes dementia through inflammation: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/sheffield-coeliac-diseas...

In my experience both same time zone, and meeting up regularly (eg once a month) are important for making remote working as effective as possible. This can lead to a same country policy.

If I was starting a new remote organisation now I’d allow a number of weeks a year to work more remotely in other countries. It would be disruptive and impact meeting scheduling, so I think is most effective when planned like a holiday.

Another odd factor is envy which oddly gets blended mentally with audio quality. If the boundaries of remote get stretched, you end up with staff with tropical islands in the background and often worse or unreliable internet, and often a poor semi-temporary audio setup.

I rationally like the idea of everyone working in amazing locations. But in reality, while people joke about it, emotionally they get envious. Not a fair reason, but I can imagine some business owners blocking it just for that.

I feel for the many different types of forensic labs.

These forensic labs have their own brand of "Never the twain shall meet" while they do blind analysis especially when the lead crime investigator has to clue them in ("fentanyl", in one case).

When doing network-based forensic, just because a "ping" happened, doesn't mean that "causation equal correlation".

Worse is the misuse of end-users' search history; a lone query made 7 years ago being used as a lead-in (but lone) evidence to a suspect's alleged behavior. Really?

Or an innocuous Google Scholar watch doing a trapping of some suspected but heavily watched URL?

One simple lab exercise of such forensic analysis is a reconstruction on the chaining of events given a set of evidence; it gets hilarious at times to see such "conspiratorial-like" theories.

Now the world witness the continuing saga of misusage of statistics from the US FDA VARS database being flooding with death by COVID inoculants.

Saw this at the Tampa RV show, it's just a tiny Class B, definitely needs more range but neat to see the progress.

My 35ft 30,000 lbs diesel Class A RV has a 800 mile range so will be a while before it interests me.

400 miles is 640km, which, at 5km/kw (Vanagon) gives you 128kwh.

2 weeks is 14 days, in a sunny climate you can reckon on 5 solid solar hours so 70 charging hours.

128kwh / 70 charging hours is 1.82 kw.

You can probably fit a 480w panel on the roof of said reference Vanagon so you will need to get 4 and stack em 4 high. Maybe fold them out like an awning?
