Hmm so it's still a DIY job, just with better components, right?

I'm not averse to that, but right now hoping that there's an out-of-the box solution.

It seems like there's a tussle between the finance 'economy' and the actual economy.
I know I'd prefer a population that understands how to read graphs, what rate of change means, can actually solve a word problem, etc. People are voting on complex topics like tax rates and I think you'd be amazed at how many people can not, and I mean not with a calculator or at all, calculate what 60% of 75 is.

So maybe it's not a bad thing that people graduate from College are required to take a few algebra and stats classes when they're ostensibly running the show at large corporations and in various levels of Government.
It also supports a subset of extensions on the Android app vs most other browser apps that support no mobile extensions
Pretty cool that GTP is hitting such a mainstream moment. Everyone I talk with about it has glazed over for years, but I guess this is finally a demo that breaks through. 100m users if reports are accurate.

Of course regular folks are going to wildly overestimate GTP’s current capabilities. Regular folks wildly overestimate the intelligence of their pets.
Volume control is a must. I had my headphones on, at normal volume, and... let's just say I didn't realize just how loud it would be.

Other than that, however, this seems neat. I've been trying to listen to new music lately, so this'll definitely come in handy.
Almost the opposite. Tech is mostly conservative in the classic sense-- limited government, personal freedoms, etc.

I know many people who like working at Amazon but I know there are many that don't.

As for the scamazon marketplace, that's a clear and present danger. Amazon's real strength relative to the Best Buys of the world is that is the "everything store" with a huge selection. The dark side of it is that the marketplace is much less trustworthy than most others (I'm sure there is some dark web site that sells drugs for Monero that is worse.)

I have corresponded w/ AMZN about product listings that are completely nonsensical, like they were written by GPT-0, and been told that they didn't want to hear any complaints about a listing unless I'd bought the item and been ripped off.

Now I like shopping, I like reading about products. I don't like sifting through word salad to find product listings. And the fact that AMZN just doesn't care (they say so!) is one more reason why it is the last place I shop for things instead of the first.

Contrast that to Ebay or Craiglist where the listings make sense (even if some people struggle to spell words like "cat" and "pig") and the sellers are overwhelmingly honest whether they are from the town next door or the far reaches of the "global village".
you know, you're alright with me
raised 225 points in the years between 2015 & 2018 (very slow return to some sanity after the cuts in 2008 down to nearly 0)

Immediately dropped by 75 points in 2019 due to trade war concerns (pre covid), then dropped another 150 points in 2020 due to covid.

So back to 2008 levels.

Raised by 450 points at the threat of "wage growth" and hot employment causing inflation over the last 11 months.

So yes, they were ever so slowly hiking rates back up, but I think the current approach definitely hints at what their priorities are.

To be fair - I don't really believe the fed is entirely responsible - they don't have many good levers to pull to influence the things they've been tasked with influencing.

But I think the timing shows the priorities pretty well. The existence of huge zombie companies hollowing out real markets, only alive because of incredibly cheap cash, was not a serious problem.

Wage growth - now that's a thing to be feared.
I tested this on FF/Chrome/Safari on an M1 Max, couldn't see any difference at all between FF and Chrome but on Safari it was incredibly slow (which actually let me drive the car, that thing turns fast). I also wasn't aware prior to clicking that it was even possible to create web apps like this.

Both numbers are for debug builds. I don't know why `cargo test` is faster but I appreciate it.

Incremental release builds with `cargo build --release` are even slower taking ~35s on the 1240p.

There are reference manuals with a lot of details. Specifically you'd want to read the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual", Volumes 2, which includes specifications of each instruction including pseudo-code of how the processor executes them. You can freely access a PDF of the entire manual here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...

But there's a lot of details there — that volume alone spans about 4000 printed pages in the manual — so you're bound to mess things up.

I've written emulators for simpler instruction sets (RISC-V and the 6502) and found that the best way to ensure they work correctly is to do instruction-by-instruction comparisons against a reference. The good news is that if you've got a PC computer, you've got easy access to a reference machine! So you can do side-by-side comparisons where you set up an initial state on both a real machine and an emulated machine, then execute some code on both, and compare the final states. By using the trap flag you could also single-step through the instructions to extract the intermediate states after each instruction and ensure they match the emulated state.

So that's my guess about how he did his too. It's painstaking work, but also kind of fun when you get into it.

The fed is stimulating the economy by raising interest rates. Interest rate increases mean more federal funds flow into the economy via increased paymentsto treasury bond holders and the like. Since our national debt outstanding vs GDP is very high its having a large effect and the is seemingly blind to this.
Just a guess but you could avoid the step with length input (if the only purpose is to check for errors) if you checked the CRC checksum of the barcode. But that's just an uneducated guess, I have no idea how your app works.

I’ve come to strongly resent the techno-utopian mindset that unfortunately plagues the tech world.

Tech for the sake of tech with zero thought about how it will affect humanity.
Basically you're linearly interpolating between, for example, sqrt(25) and sqrt(36) to get sqrt(33). That will work quite well, but it's always an underestimate.
Of course, SEO blog spammers are learning to add these terms to their sites.
I'd say there's still a gap in my mental model. I agree that it's normal to observe this, definitely. I see it in other tools that utilize parallelism too. I just can't square the 2x overhead part of it in a workload like Cargo's, which I assume is not fine-grained. I see the same increase in user time with ripgrep too, and its parallelism is maybe more fine grained than Cargo's, but is still at the level of a single file, so it isn't that fine grained.

But maybe for Cargo, parallelism is more fine grained than I think it is. Perhaps because of codegen-units. And similarly for ripgrep, if it's searching a lot of tiny files, that might result in fine grained parallelism in practice.
I'm talking about that other Union Square in NYC. But then again they have no trouble running bulls on Wall Street.
In Carmack's case it was "lock yourself in a room for 14 hours a day coding" and get yourself a hype man (and artist/programmer) like Romero. More seriously, find a software niche that hasn't been widely marketed yet. You don't need to invent anything, just find something that's being done but hasn't been done good enough to reach a wide audience. Network with people that have a similar interest and form a company once you've got an idea worth pursuing.
To be fair I don't think that's the fault of Amazon I think that's the same thing with all new tech adoption - especially over the last couple of decades. As new tech enabled new capabilities people were honest and scammers didn't know how to manipulate the system. Nowadays its a lot of work and money to block to fake reviews/fake products.

This goes for all tech --> social media, financial processing etc.

I agree it really does ruin it but I think it's pervasive in tech 20-30 years into the internet/tech adoption into our lives. And now when new tech pops up scammers hop aboard immediately.
In my experience, service sector working class people generally have no savings due to low wages and high cost of housing. I think it's not that people view saving as immoral; rather they view it as a class indicator.

It appears that if the lower class starts seeing wage increases, then our economy falls apart and/or the Fed steps in to stop it. That suggests that our economy is broken with respect to the lower class.
If you got less people there is still no guarantee less percentage of people are gonna be suffering.

No one is going to write a mortgage for a lower rate than inflation unless they’re crazy (so the gov’t might, but even then not usually!). They’d be signing up to 100% burn their cash doing so.

Inflation absolutely impacts mortgage rates, and all other lending.
Part of me thinks one of the big reasons Google has held back so much is because of ethical concerns and/or just general fear of not having complete knowledge of how AI (incomplete to boot) will impact the world. We know that Google has some extremely powerful AI, but they never let it out of the lab. Just the most heavily neutered and clamped versions to help accentuate their existing products.

Now it seems that Open.AI/Microsoft are ready to jump in, caution to the wind. As you would expect the chance for a competitive advantage will always overwhelm external concerns.

We'll see what Google does. They might say "fuck it" and finally give us a chance to play with whatever their top tier AI is. Or maybe they'll discredit it and try and compete with their current (ad optimized) search product. We'll see, but I am definitely curious to see how Google responds to all this.
If you feel that your political opinions should be communicated, then do so but not under your own name unless you plan to use your workplace to build an audience. Depending on the workplace, this may damage your career, but sharing your opinions is the first step to building an audience and and switching careers.
Vaccination status is not a political issue. And HN is fairly conservative, so there might be a bit of a victim complex going on here.

"Does anyone else feel like they are judged for their minority opinion" is an interesting concept in a community full of like-minded individuals.
> The problem with Carmack and many like him, is that they think of themselves as purely rational beings operating within scientific frameworks and based purely on scientific results, but whenever they step outside the technical fields in which they work, they are ignorant and dogmatic.

I'm just curious, do you happen to work in a technical field and consider yourself rational and scientific? And if you do, why do you presuppose that your views are automatically correct? Couldn't it also hold that your views may be ignorant and dogmatic if you apply the same scrutiny to yourself that you do to Carmack?

And if you don't work in a technical field, then I guess this is all irrelevant anyways. I just don't like when I see people making these types of arguments where you can't speak on a subject that you're not actively pursuing a PhD in, and then they proceed to do exactly that.
Why should we not blame Google? It seems like their problem and it is entirely within their control to fix it.

You can call it a con all you want but I have personally extracted a lot of value from ChatGPT. It _really_ made a difference in launching in a product in record time for me. It also taught me a bunch of things I would have otherwise never discovered.

Presumably that means if the machine is stopped for a few minutes for maintenance, and then resumed, you need to watch out for a handful of cans where the pressure will have escaped.

Ah yeah, my mistake. I'd assumed that the GP was referring to the later work and echoing its core premise (language has no intrinsic meaning; or rather takes on meaning from context and intent).

As an aside to anyone reading, would highly recommend internalizing the Tractatus. It really helps side step a lot of "high minded" debates (ex: is X conscious, is it moral to do Y) by actually making you ground what you actually mean when you say "conscious", "moral", etc.

I had a detailed conversion with chatGPT about how to gracefully handle terminating conditions of a rust program. It summarized cogently to register at_exit()’s for each thread, panic handlers, and register signal handlers. It advised and explain in detail on my query about the thread handling for each of these variants, gave really helpful advice on collecting join handles in a closure on the main thread and waiting for the child threads to exit their at_exit handlers since at_exit can’t guarantee when handlers will execute. It went into detail about cases the process won’t have the ability to clean up. I was able to ask it a lot of clarifying questions and it provided useful responses with clear coherent explanations that were salient and considered the full context of the discussion. I’m certain when I go to actually implement it it’ll have gotten so details wrong. But it provided about as clear explanation of process termination mechanics (for Unix) as I’ve seen articulated, and did so in a way that was directed by my questions not in a 300 page reference manual or random semi relevant questions in stackoverflow answered by partially right contributors.

If this is a con, then consider me a mark.

Oh, a milion humble apologies, my liege, I was entirely unaware of your decades of experience. Surely machines work better under your touch, for they can see the twinkle of authority in your eye.

> But to me personally: I am grown up enough to not care how many Porsches my neighbor has. How does this matter?

When something I made is sold at a company, used raw materials are rebought, but then left over is the wealth I created. A portion goes to me in wages, a portion is mailed off in dividend checks to the heir who is expropriating my surplus time. It matters because the heir is expropriating surplus labor time from me, and all the wealth I create in this time. That is why it matters.

I'm the exact same way. We now order a lot from Target. It's not like it's a world-beating service but the site is good, the app is good, deliveries and on time and I have the ability to place a pickup order from a location near me.

We even decided to splash out on the $100 a year same-day delivery service. We get more value from that than our Prime membership. Even as a family that watches plenty of TV there's really one only show or so a year we watch on Prime.
I agree, evcxr really needs to be advertised more. It might need a new name, I don't even know how to say it.

We've worked to keep the dollar less strong since a rapid increasing in the value of the dollar risks a global debt crisis. A lot of people in finance were quite concerned earlier this fall when the dollar started to rise rapidly.
> Twitter is a distant #3 social network

This is being too generous. Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are all far larger than Twitter. Reddit is also just barely larger than Twitter, though at that scale you have to consider who has more bots. Twitter claims slightly more MAUs than Snapchat, but since Snapchat isn't a viral network it probably has no bots to speak of, making it larger than Twitter in terms of real users.
> In my experience, service sector working class people generally have no savings due to low wages and high cost of housing.

Statistically, a lot of middle class people save their wealth in their houses, which are bought via mortgages.

Inflation benefits those people significantly by raising the value of their house and making their 30-year fixed mortgages (in the US) easier to pay off. It's not so great for people in other countries with variable rate mortgages, though.
It’s primarily a cute trick.
Having never seen any Studio Ghibli films before, I watched all of them in release order last month, Jan 2023. I'm so glad I did. With few exceptions, the films are masterpieces of cinema, not just animation. Nearly any single frame from nearly any of the films would make gorgeous wall art.

I'd recommend anyone who is remotely interested in animation, Japanese films, or films in general to check them out. All but 2 (for licensing reasons) are available to stream on HBO Max. I believe they have both subbed and dubbed versions, though I preferred to watch with subs.
Savings and Debt are two sides of the same coin. The savings in your bank account is someone else's debt. The Bank of England has a great explanation of this here: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m...

In other words, loans create deposits, not the other way around. Savers are hoarding cash which leads to a decrease in aggregate demand, and also ironically their ability to save in the future.
Crowlers became a big deal with microbrewers, you could sample the beer at their location, and a Crowler was a lower barrier to entry then buying a glass growler, then remember to have it with you the next time.
> The government is a democracy...

No, it isn't, and this isn't some "it's a reeeeepublic" rant, either. When half the population couldn't legally vote for most of the country's history, that's not very democratic. "Oligarchy" is a better fit, but apparently we only reserve that for countries we don't like. Average individuals working average jobs and making average incomes get next to no say in anything that happens at a national level, and I would be surprised if it were any better at the state level.

Beware! You might be wasting your time.

I don't think these guys are actually hiring, or they are very bad at it.
I went through their hiring process, the video interview went well even though it was with one Dev (pretty random). There was common interest and a technical fit. I was given a trivial code test that I assumed was only a formality. I then created a pull request. I had to follow-up for weeks before hearing back from them and the only thing that they ended up doing was to give my pull request some thumbs up. They since disappeared even though I reached out for feedback multiple times.

I suspect that they are doing this non stop even though they don't have open positions and maybe from time to time they hire based on their workload. Look at all the pull requests (https://github.com/serpapi/code-challenge/pulls). Lots of those are good quality, but they have been on "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" for months.
That most Americans can live paycheck to paycheck makes me feel better about the post AGI full UBI era. I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

Does it really matter if everyone is living paycheck to paycheck? They aren’t starving to death. They have access to bread and circuses. If we all go on a $1000/month UBI, we’ll still have a decent standard of living. We’re in for a phase transition in the global economy and the relation of the poor to the rich, but it won’t be as bad as the doomsayers on HN are claiming.

I agree that investigation into how the brain and the universe works is valuable.

Having profited from OSS does not mean that the company has profit left over after spending their money on whatever they want. Canonical certainly has had no shortage of frivolous projects that anyone outside could see were doomed long before they were axed, often from inception.
