Markets measure the tiny fraction of buyers and sellers on a given day and ignore the super majority of holders. It almost feels like length of ownership should be more determinative of price movements than anything else. If long-term holders start selling, it’s concerning.

Ah thanks, that looks rad/red alright.

> this one is 630nm

Are you sure, that really ought to be more around 650 nm. I was checking the datasheet [1] for the W2812 just to see how far they go (since I have hundreds around the apartment and can set them to full red) and even something as cheap as those can apparently go to 620-630 nm according to the spec.

The optimal wavelength listed in various articles seems to be more like 670 nm. I wonder if one could just do a longer exposure with a less accurate diode and get the same results though.

> probably comes on a pad

Comes on a reel apparently. Do they think they're selling to people with industrial PCB robots? haha

Innovate, Don't Replicate
I don’t think that’s correct. They announced a future increase of $40 billion. And I don’t think share repurchases affects net income anyway.
A cheap valve between the hot/cold valves and the bath faucet or showerhead can provide that.

Unfortunately, single-handle mixer valves aren't usually designed to have their output blocked under pessure like that. So that's when it starts getting expensive and specialized. But with traditional separate hot/cold valves, it works fine.

Yes, and for some reason the world is shifting towards megacorporations which enhances this problem across the board. Companies take small but certain steps from producers of goods to some weird authoritarian symbiotic relationship entities with consumers. We’re well on track towards the world of Cyberpunk.
I've not sat down to really work through all the details, but I've had this notion in my head for some time that putting a kind of "developer secretary" on teams, to deal with all various tools developers are expected to navigate directly as part of their job and as just extra junk their employer makes them do (say, learning and using time-off request systems or expense-submission systems), such that the developers only needed to know & context-switch to email and maybe a chat program ("what about Jira?" ideally the secretary could do all that make-work shepherding and tracking down next-tasks, too), in addition to the actual thing they do that makes them so expensive, it could be a net-savings.

I doubt the math works out well for lower-paid employees that are also required to juggle all kinds of tangential shit these days ( sorry :-( ) but I think it might for even mid-pay developers.
Weird way to express it. I work for a US company today, but so do lots of people from other countries. That doesn't mean I'm depriving an American of an opportunity.

Remote jobs that specify a country always seem to be US. Everywhere else has a timezone range where you're expected to work. So if as an American you'd like to work in remote GMT+/-3, you go for it.
It's amazing to me how a couple hundred million people can be so compellingly influenced by such a small group of people, often with totally misaligned goals.

And the people just follow along.

Musk went from a golden boy to a global villain overnight without doing something wrong. He bought a company! God forbid, the new owner made a few changes! It's wild to me how fast it happened. Nobody really needed convinced, they're just predisposed to hate rich people.

Of course. But universities will 100% fire tenured faculty before they kill off a D1 football program or spend down endowment principal. So from the perspective of academic laborers, it's a moot point.

Ask HN: Does the HN commentariat have a reductive view of what a human being is?
I've been very struck during most of the AI discussions recently how little weight comments seem give to the subtlety and rich contextual knowledge that humans bring to even quite simple activities.

I know we often over-estimate the value of our contributions. I know we often find that our functions can ultimately be automated in some respect. But I find in aggregate that the leading comments reflect a very arid conception of being a human connected to other humans.

For example in the discussion about AI Lawyers very little sense of the moral aspect of another human acting on behalf of a human client. In the discussions about the replacement of programming jobs by this kind of technology, not a great deal of confidence in the importance of human judgement in building human-focused systems.

Is this just reflective of our context as people that streamline and automate, or do HN readers just think a human isn't such a complex entity?

For me this is somewhat like the T-Shirt that says "I went outside once, but the graphics were crap"...except nobody's joking.

I mean, you aren't wrong. But most of what they learned was "step debugging is hard in the presence of macros." And step debugging has largely been tossed out of the window in many modern setups. Just look at Java's "stream" apis. I swear they did what they could to replicate the LOOP macro.
Thank you, really appreciate that comment. That's the bracket we see ourselves in, and for the same reasons (as product builders).
> Now that it's been three months, what happened to the dreary prognosis? Where is the continuous downtime? Where is the permanent feature freeze? Where is the imminent collapse we were told about?

I remember that. False predictions like this: [0]

Because their false prophesies of the imminent and total collapse of Twitter has not come true, the same pundits are still tweeting on Twitter and are moving goal posts; expecting 1000% uptime. One outage and it is the end of the world.

To those pundits, Twitter now has a new standard of uptime. While the 220M+ users are still using the platform, the so-called competition or 'Twitter-killers' have failed to make a meaningful dent on it's daily active users.

Perhaps too many screaming voices got in the way of the fact that Twitter was actually better for less than 1,000 employees.

> The whole point of math/rand is that it's not cryptographically secure.

Sure, and that's even been in the documentation since before Go 1.0, yet people still make mistakes with it in practice. I've found it worth making the point explicit. Particularly in a case like this, where a casual reader might not notice the distinction between "non-reproducible" and "secure".
Hrm, no. The $40bn they announced is forward-looking guidance for 2023. In 2022 they repurchased $28bn (2021 they repurchased $44bn) [1].

Not sure that I'd call this "admitting defeat on growth" as other people have said elsewhere in this thread, given that they've done buybacks of this magnitude before.

The main issue, it seems, is that they grew expenditures on cost of revenue and R&D (i.e. operations and capex), but revenue (advertising from family of apps, whatever revenue VR yields) did not keep pace -- in fact, it was flat on a YoY basis [2].

IMO, this doc is strong evidence that the layoffs were a bona fide good idea. Will be interesting to compare to Alphabet's tomorrow.

I hitchhiked over 6000 miles in 2014 across Europe and South America. I used hitchwiki.org pretty extensively to find spots to wait at.

Hitchhiking is definitely one of the funnest ways to travel if you have the time - you start every day not really knowing exactly where you will end up.

I was once picked up hitchhiking by a Chilean family and they ended up inviting me on their family roadtrip vacation and I traveled with them for 5+ days
It gets more people to die on ALL sides which is why it's considered a shitty thing to do, even if it's technically a "valid" tactic in some anarchic philosophies. The use of this ruse will cause people to stop accepting surrender which is BAD because it means that the people who die will be the average Joe and average Ivan in different countries who really don't want to kill anyone and just want to go back to their family and their life. These goodhearted people just want to go home and would gladly surrender. Imagine this thought experiment. I'll use your pen name dragonwriter as the name of a hypothetical super-human bandit / assassin / mercenary / gun for hire who sometimes does jobs like assassinations and Mission Impossible style burglaries of royal treasure. Imagine the DragonWriter bandit has no qualms about killing and so anyone who stands in his way gets shot with the intent to kill, AND now there are some rumors that a group of cops had DragonWriter surrounded and so he surrendered to them but then he pulled out a hidden sword and spun in a circle chopping them all in half. Now, any time DragonWriter tries to surrender in the future, his surrender won't be accepted, but what's even worse is: his action that bought him maybe a 5 second advantage (vs a million different other ways he could have won or fled the fight), and this tiny temporary advantage by the ruse has imposed a cost in exchange:

This one infamous sword fight has now poisoned the well with respect to the global norm. Next time there's some other totally unaffiliated hat-wearing super-powered bandit who's stealing the Ark of the Covenant or the royal diamond or something, if THAT bandit tries to surrender, there's a high chance that person might be killed, because their surrender is distrusted since DragonWriter changed the norm and now every fight between supers and cops is now on "shoot to kill, no prisoners, take no quarter" stakes. Imagine how many times a famous super like Batman would have been killed if the authorities never accept a surrender because the surrender norm is ruined. It can be repaired but that might take a decade or more to repair the trust that was broken.

With strong norms about surrender, red cross medics being protected, etc., we can have things like the miracle of the WW1 Christmas Truce which help the war to be a little bit little less of pure hell, for all the pure-hearted or indifferent people dragged into being a soldier, perhaps even drafted or press-ganged, to be the disposable cannon fodder for a bloody and disease and gas drenched war for no good reason more than rich politicians' egos.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce

These people just want to go back home to their wife or their mum and would gladly gladly surrender if given the chance, but that's not possible if someone ruins the norm! It's like, for example even if someone is a super-villain for example, they should really not take human lives of innocent people, or destroy irreplaceable cultural heritage sites, or damage/burn an ecological area like a rain forest, because those, once lost, are forever gone, and leave our world impoverished.

Exactly. But you get to decide how to spend your own weekend.

Depends on the exact escalation instructions, of course. Once upon a time I could be reasonably sure that if anything breaks in production and I'm on call, no one else would get called.

> The ADI9801 and the Xilinx RF-SOC are multi-gigasample per second converters and so you can (in theory) just grab all the spectrum and then pull out any signals you want with DSP. Works great on paper but wow is it difficult to design hardware and pipelines for that stuff.

What is the dynamic range on these converters? I suspect that if you want to pull out a signal that is 120dB below the strongest signal in the spectrum, you're going to have a bad time.
Ah, but who is going to pay those assistants? To hear the company tell it, they're already struggling to pay their current workers what they call a "competitive wage".

Just look at Intel, who recently slashed salaries so they could afford to pay a larger dividend. How do you think they'd react if you asked them to provide every engineering manager with a full-time assistant?
There is hardly any, if you are hosting static dirs. It's literally one file, the nginx.conf.
Extract graph description

"Academic funding is all controlled by government bureaucrats and corporate executives...."

This is not really true in the US. For example, NSF review processes are basically determined by peers, panels of PhDs who are experts in the field. While their expertise may vary, they generally do a reasonable and fair and scientifically meaningful review. To claim this is all "controlled by government burearcrats" is lazy and mostly wrong.
This case is very likely of model "too large to fail".

Last time it used, when appear high probability of recession, and govt prints money and feed them to larges financial companies, to keep them alive.

Opposite to print money, usually, to suffer huge losses of popularity, because without these measures, could close large chain of connected to subjects companies, will need to spend money to pay for unemployment.

So I think, Carter's decisions where because it was easy solution for him, and less fear than to close.

Examples of brave side politics are very rare, one of them Thatcher, decided to close mining companies, which decades fed by govt subsidies, which costed her very expensive.
Close but not exactly, there is no esoteric HTC stuff for example.

It seems small for any sort of directed energy weapon with a useful power output. There wouldn't be enough capacity for a big generator and heat radiators.
No one could have predicted they’d buy back such a ridiculous amount of their own stock.
Costs went up a lot, primarily from increased payroll. That's why they did a big layoff, although I believe they still have more employees than end of 2021 even after that.
I also maintain a large python codebase at work, typing makes things simpler. For example using pydantic 90% of serialization code just goes away. Mypy eliminates a large number of bugs. Also when working with multiple people in the same codebase typing makes intent so much clearer. The type system itself is not perfect but it's a clear improvement of not having it at all.
Which, in the second place, most ads fucking suck at "personalization" anyways.
> But while it is present almost everywhere, it is not pervasive everywhere.

"Present almost everywhere" is in fact what pervasive means :)

The thesaurus lists these words as some synonyms of pervasive:

Widespread, prevalent, common, present, popular, majority, predominant.[0]

Just because the culture isn't accepted by every single person on planet earth doesn't mean it's not pervasive. There were plenty of pockets of communities in the early 20th century and late 19th century that didn't follow the traditional norms of Christianity that existed in the west. But I think we would both agree that Christianity/catholicism was pervasive in the west in those time periods.

After all, Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Darwin, Marx, Bertrand Russell and more were popular with different communities at the time, even though they were definitely counter to the pervasive culture of Christianity/catholicism then.

And I agree with you about how it's surprising that even at a Christian university, the traditional values of Christianity aren't taught! The example I gave was just one of the things I thought of off the top of my head. There were several other examples that gave me the feeling that the majority of the students weren't interested in traditional values. Chapel was a running joke among the students, nobody really cared and just went since the credit was required. People in positions of leadership that didn't align with the trendy culture slowly got replaced throughout my time there. We routinely got lectured on diversity and equity and how the university was devoted to it. I have friends who are gay that let me know how widespread the lgbt+ community at the university was (among professors and students).

I could go on, but my point was that even in the rural south, plenty of people are afraid to go against the trendy culture. My experience was simply some anecdata to your presumption that the rural South does not have a significant majority of people also following the trends of liberal cities. It's definitely less pronounced, but it's also definitely pervasive.

That's one of the main differences between being "contractor" and "full time employee". As contractor you can sub-contract your work (unless contract clearly specifies otherwise, maybe not enforceable in some jurisdictions?), as employee you can't.
