Interesting. The S&P 500's P/E is currently 22 -- high by long-term historical standards, but not an outrageous number. It corresponds to about a 3% interest rate.

It doesn't sound like something ripe for a crash. Maybe it will fall to the long-term historical average of 15, which is a win, but it doesn't sound like the kind of get-rich-quick scheme you want from a high risk investment like shorting. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent -- the S&P seems like it's in a position to go up rather than down.

I mean, hey, you get rich by placing the big bets. You short something, you get free cash to put elsewhere. Pick a winner and you can come out ahead even if the S&P 500 doesn't drop. But I don't have a strong stomach for that kind of risk.

> and now we're handing the power to replace human work over to those who can afford to pay for it.

That's been capitalist industrialization for the last 200 years. We have been warned thousands upon thousands of times already what's going to happen - that's what's going to happen. The only thing to do is to make this layer of tech accessible to every person on Earth to every degree of depth possible. The terror is in the imbalance of power and access, and the best-case we can get is if we totally erase that imbalance so we can once again compete as "equals"
Hi fellow D&D Player/DM :)

I pretty much am having the same positive experience.

Additionally, I play around with it to generate statblocks.

DIY PC is the way to go. you can load up Linux or Windows.
I was pretty impressed when I started giving it pseudo-code that it converted to Java code and could execute, and that it can function as a full Linux terminal and imagine files that would exist on a fictional computer, letting me cat file contents, ping servers, SSH (as long as you reassure it that it's purely hypothetical)
In case Netlify folks are reading: I feel like this was written by someone who lives and breathes "composable web architectures" to the point that they forgot to mention what they are, why they're interesting, and how Netlify's support for them is unique.

I think it just means that you can use different stuff together, but I'm having a hard time piecing together how that's new, and why Netlify purchased Gatsby to do this.
Again, in case of Sciter, event handlers are not the problem at all as it supports declarative event handlers:

class FooBar extends Element {

render() {
return <form.foobar>
<button.foo>Foo</button>
<button.bar>Bar</button>
</form>
}

// event handlers:
["on click at button.foo"](evt,button) {
console.log("click on button foo")
}
["on click at button.bar"](evt,button) {
console.log("click on button bar")
}

}

document.body.append(<FooBar />);

This approach will define event handlers on the class rather than on individual element.

And there is a slight difference between Sciter's components and React ones. Sciter component is real DOM element:

const foobar = document.$("form.foobar");

foobar instanceof FooBar; // true

That allows to use JSX/vDOM as Web Components as React Components - bests of two worlds.

I'm a product-focused engineer with broad experience across the computer vision stack - everything from sensor calibration to deep learning. I’ve shipped numerous projects from zero to one, and I’ve also scaled algorithms to handle millions of images (of buildings, and of plants most recently). I'm looking to join a team that does meaningful work, solving real-world problems for real customers.
You're 100% right. I completely forgot about the "you people" line. And now that you mention it I do recall Don sort of looking at Sal with disgust. It's hard to tell though if that disgust was because of intense homophobia (probably) or simply because he gave Sal a chance and asked him to be discreet and Sal then almost immediately created a problem for the firm.
Ah, I didn't really read the ToS, but contemplated a third party client a while ago, and was told I best avoid them due to ToS violations. I guess it must've spread through that tweet.

I don't understand why the US won't allow me to migrate*. Presumably someone from the EU making above-average salary should be net gain. There are no significant "cultural differences", I think.

I resent that tech world is centered on the SV and I don't have fucking access because I was born in the wrong location. I guess I should be happy it was inside of the EU, at least.

Instead the price is investing ~$1M - apparently, if you need to work for a living, you're not free.

(through it's _investing_ - presumably there could be a way to _pay_ someone less than that to invest on your behalf and then take that money later, along with what you paid them for this service. Hmm.)

> I dont know how it would be possible to build anything reasonably complex with groups of people without taking meeting notes.

I don't imagine it is. I've never seen anything reasonably complex successfully built by way of meeting, notes or not. The actual work always happens when ideas are formally written down and iterated upon asynchronously.

> Every single meeting would be everyone hallucinating what was said before in previous meetings, and lots of lying.

Yup. Even with notetaking, that's all you can get out of meeting. You simply don't have immediate access to all the information you need (critical in complexity) in the heat of the moment to present useful thoughts, so anything that does come up is bound to be invalid anyway. Noting the invalid expression made during the meeting doesn't serve any purpose. As such, your notes are only as good as the trash that it is. It's a nice break from work, but that's about it.

I'm sure there are even older examples :)

Edit: Canal+ - 1984
We briefly utilized a product similar to this, however the issues you mentioned remained and it was awkward to explain that meeting notes were going to some rando saas. The situation became even more embarrassing when it started joining arbitrary private meetings that were scheduled. We immediately got rid of it and won't again use another product like this.
If only there were some way to find out how quickly researchers think that the dodo reproduced, we wouldn't have to randomly talk about wild ducks.
Pretty sure that regexp is wrong though?

Wouldn’t having ‘\b’ on both sides match beginning AND end? It’s got the parenthesis for the ‘|’ in the wrong place.

Man, McWhorter jumps straight to the point. It's remarkable that NPR still has him on:

> JOHN MCWHORTER: Thanks for having me.

> SIMON: Josh Billings - I don't have to tell you, a classics professor who's the department's head of undergraduate studies - says, quote, "having new perspectives in the field will make the field better." What would be wrong with that?

> MCWHORTER: Nothing at all, but I don't want to hear it until I know that it's not a way of saying through the back door that we want to have more Black students, and it's racist to expect them to learn Latin and Greek.
> I do mourn a little, that people feel they can't be open about their views. If we talked to each other more, I think we'd find we agree about more than we disagree. (Then again, the things we do openly talk about seem to be highly polarising topics; I know not what causes what.)

I agree, and have often said the same thing. As the old saying goes, people tend to judge others by their actions, and themselves by their intentions. What the vast majority of us really want is happiness and health for ourselves, our families, and our communities. It's easy to have a civil disagreement with somebody when you keep in mind that they really do mean the best, but cynicism has taken over a lot of peoples' mental images of each other.
Midjourney has kind of replaced Pinterest (and, honestly, some forms of reading) for me. I use it daily to generate concept art for whatever writing projects I'm working on, which keeps me inspired and working, even if the generated images never see the light of day.
yeah we had people join with different person interviewing for them. We now have a policy to take a screenshot of person's face during interview and compare them to person who joins. We've busted a bunch but a whole lot have slipped through the cracks.

Hmm, I'm in the UK, and the variance in currerncy exchange we see is usually 2.4% in the bank's favour, usually with an additional fixed fee of £20. 5% sounds like madness!

I'm including variance from HMRC's published rates as well, so that can be a few percent on its own if the USDGBP shifted. We do find that some customers are worse than others though. I suspect some use local banks and are eating fees along the route and it all adds up. With some customers we get every single penny expected. Wire transfers seem to be quite messy and unpredictable compared to card payments.
You missed the point: if I’m planning lunch with my friends and they want to go to barbecue on Friday, I’m going to be suggesting an alternative so I can get something to eat too. Just like we had to plan lunches around my Jain, Jewish and Muslim coworkers dietary restrictions.

So, in fact, some people will have to do something different to include me in some of their activities.

Interesting! but I'm not sure I follow. The GP, for example, connected PG's writing style with his "position as a wealthy VC". Pointing out that the writing style predates that seems relevant. No?

If people just dislike wealth, that's one thing, but nowadays they bring that up while criticizing his writing. I don't think those two things are connected, and it seems weird to conflate them.

Its not just 15W SBC, but also ~5W screen (assuming 7" screen). So it'd be closer to 20W worst case.

Jim Simons is a great example. Has made 28 billion from algorithmic trading, has Chern–Simons form named after him in math but has said he sucks at computer programming because he can't remember syntax well enough.

Einstein would be a data entry clerk trying to get a job writing javascript.

I suspect with so many more educated people we have so many more true genius level minds than a 100 years ago but we have narrowed economically useful intellectual life to such a degree that 99% of them are doing well paid sub-optimal bullshit with their genius unexpressed.

The act of writing notes with pencil and paper is a ritual that loads information into my brain.

+1 for Mint, our 8yo son finds his way around nicely with it. I definitely had a "Maybe I'm actually a pretty cool dad" moment when I noticed him checking wifi availability on his own via 1) clicking the terminal icon and 2) typing "ping google.com" as if he had been doing this stuff for years.

Mint + Pico 8 or TIC-80 for explorative gaming has been a fairly good formula for us. I'm thinking of writing an oldschool text adventure on TIC-80 with him, so he'd 1) learn command line input and 2) develop language and grammar skills at the same time. Computers are not all that bad, yknow.

Prior to the current combo, I was thinking of some FreeDOS based system, because of its simplicity, and since cheesy Intel machines are available for nothing. I also considered this homebrew Z80 computer with BASIC -- for wich we, on all those romantic Father And Son Evenings, would build extra-primitive, ultra-distraction-free text adventures: https://rc2014.co.uk/

But, eventually, I realized that First-Graders These Days are already socializing online, so it is (unfortunately) fairly impossible to avoid something like Discord etc. For that, a machine with only DOS, some Forth or BASIC obviously won't do, but oh well. Now our son is playing a lot of Minecraft, including on servers, but his online behavior seems surprisingly mature or careful. Our household rule still states that he must not spend more than 1 hour on gaming every day, but, obviously, he is fairly creative in finding ways to "show Dad that Minecraft castle, but, uh, hey, I just noticed it needs 15 minutes of improvements, hold on".

Overall, I have found that our son seems to naturally prefer games with low-res graphics. He doesn't like ultra-realistic stuff. Really happy to notice this -- it's kind of like reading a book or drawing where the "realistic movie" is running only in your head. This is great for thinking, I guess.
everything is clickbait if every headline was entirely milquetoast, nobody would know where to click anymore.

Apple refurbished is not even close to selling used by say an eBay seller. They basically remanufacture the product outer components and batteries.
Now, like January 2023 numbers, you can get a brand new mini micro PC from a no-name brand with twice the memory and a large SATA drive and vastly faster CPU and probably a pirated win10 or win11 installation for 10% to 20% lower price than a ARM SBC supplied without storage, and usually the slightly higher electrical power is more like double.

Although, if you have twice the ram and a huge SATA and huge amount more CPU power, that just means it spends a higher percentage of time in sleep mode, so its probably about same total energy consumption, just higher peak power consumption.

Its worth pointing out that prices have gone up somewhat but "generally" "away from overinflated areas" you pay a bit more than a buck for a watt-year of wall outlet power, so trying to spend an extra $50 upfront to go ARM and save four watts will take a VERY long time to pay off, perhaps infinity depending on inflation and interest rates, if you're plugged into a wall; battery applications have stranger financials of course.

SEEKING WORK | UK - Cambridge/London / Remote

I'm a software engineer with coming up for two decades of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."

I've worked on a very wide variety of web-based projects, as well as React Native, and other platforms, so I will be able to hit the ground running on most projects. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that could still suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devised novel algorithms.

I am productive in every commercial programming language I've tried. In the last 5 years I've done commercial projects in (at least):

Typescript/Javascript (React Native, browser, and Node.js), Ruby, Java, C#, Python, and Go. I'm trying to find someone to pay me to do some Rust.

As well as building things, I am also good at talking to people to help figure out what we should be building. I enjoy working with other developers and helping the team learn. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

Part of that, in turn, is the slow death of the American working class. This is a much harsher society economically. That is why you step over bodies in San Francisco's Tenderloin. It wasn't like that when I moved here (early 80's).

But why are you surprised? The hippies pushed free love and drug use. The inevitable end result was more children without stable families and drug addiction. When you step over those bodies you are stepping over the fruits of the hippy ideal.

I don't think every meeting needs notes, but there are three levels that I've found useful (as a dev). I don't take all of these at every meeting, but I make at least one of them at most.

- An email to the group summarizing my action items, which I also add to my own to-do list. This way, if someone thinks I'm supposed to be doing something, they'll usually reply to the email to let me know. This also doesn't need to be recorded during the meeting; it can happen shortly thereafter (but it's often more efficient to write it during).

- A list of useful bits of information that came up. "X is a thing; I should read more about it", "This person is working on Y; that's who to go to with questions", that sort of thing.

- An outline of substantial discussions and key decisions.
I don't need to write down every word of a twenty minute discussion of what color to make the button, but it's handy to have a reminder that "There was an extensive discussion of the color of the button. The agreement was that it should be red." If I'm asked to take notes for a group, this is what I generally produce; I've never had any complaints.
