I wonder how often things we observe are actually farther away than they seem, they're just rapidly moving towards us relative to their surroundings, or vice versa.

Seems like it's totally possible that something could be 4 billion light years away, or 8 billion light years away, and have the same red shift. Maybe sometimes gravitational lensing would help determine if a star is behind or in front of another? I wonder if it's pretty common to observe objects that are more blue shifted than something that is clearly closer to us.
I’m less sure about that for a few reasons. Biggest among them is that (presumably?) in app webviews will still be WKWebView, powered by WebKit. So if you want your page to load inside Facebook’s browser (and you do) you’re still going to have to care about Safari.
Apps get killed when memory runs low so it gets cold starts after a day or less depending on usage.
But isn't this discussion literally about the idiomatic concepts involved? The whole argument of semantics is a "literally vs. figuratively" discussion. Workers were "used" in the way I use a tool to do a job, but potentially not "used" in a colloquial English way that someone tricks someone into doing something for them.

If anything, this is because Americans on HN think too much about the concepts underlying words and don't just take everything literally as defined.

In the absence of a recognition of biological differences in cognitive potential and behavioral tendencies, every disparity in socioeconomic outcomes will be attributed to structural discrimination, leading to "corrective" policies, that are futile in fixing it, leading to policy makers resorting to ever more extreme/desperate measures, like:

* claiming mathematics is "white", and removing calculus from high school curricula

* eliminating standardized testing as the primary criteria for university admission so that the admissions staff can exercise their biases without being exposed.

It's remarkably easy. For some reason it's simply not taught at schools.

1. Psychological security.

2. Crystal Clear targets, planning, goals, written down. To paraphrase this, a top manager will write their ICs an 8-12 week JIRA backlog. Obviously, these goals will iterate. However, the ironclad clarity is essential.

3. Positive, effective, coaching and feedback at the principle skill the IC performs. Aka, coding.

4. Lead by example. Conspicuous, hard, effort, devoting majority of time and energy to managing down and shielding.

The issue is simple. All of the above requires sweat from the manager.

Managers are lazy, and nobody is watching them manage their ICs.

The history of airliner companies in the US is fairly complicated. There's a large governmental aspect of it, in the form of military aviation, and private aspect, the commercial aviation industry. It's intertwined.

One answer is that it is so expensive to develop a new airliner, and so expensive to set up a production line for it (each one is pretty much a "bet the company" thing), and the market for airliners is so limited, that there isn't room for many manufacturers.

As for bailouts, Boeing's competitor Airbus is funded by the European taxpayers.

> Also, while we're on hacker news, is it known how the party hat duplication bug happened?

I don't know for sure but I understand a lot of early bug abuse was due to a failure to perform server side validation. So hypothetically you might enter into a 2 part trade transaction flow where you offer items for trade in the 1st step and then commit that transaction in the 2nd step. Server side validation might be done in the 1st step to make sure you actually own the item you declared an intent to trade, but none is done in the 2nd step. So you could declare an intent to trade a worthless item you possess, but modify the transaction commit packet to give away an item you don't possess.

I was not part of the bug abuse community but I did find one bug in the game that involved multiple actions being done in a single server tick. As I understand it there have been a lot of bugs like this over the years. As a hypothetical example, it might be impossible to teleport while holding a certain item, but if you picked up the item on the same tick as you performed the teleport, the server might process the two actions in such a way that it allowed you to perform both.
This warrants maximum punishment and humiliation:

1. Yuan should immediately terminate himself as CEO, and his salary/bonus should be divvied up among those who were [IMPACTED]. In fact, all 1,300 people should be named co-CEOs and together they shall lead the company to prosperity and avoid such a boneheaded misstep in the future.

2. He should have to give his life savings to those 1,300 people. His family should live in squalor going forward, effective immediately.

3. He should be imprisoned for fraud, for no fewer than 25 years —- or ideally sent to a North Korean prison camp, if such arrangements with DPRK can be secured.

That’s what true accountability looks like.

If you have NNTP, then that will help. You can read/write any message. There is not voting, but to me that is an advantage to not have voting; I think chronological will be better. Also if you have NNTP, you can more easily to compose and read already downloaded messages even if you are not connected to the internet (or if the server is down), only needing internet to send/receive. Scoring files can be used if you want to customize which messages should be displayed, and possibly other things if you use a client program that can use scoring files for other purposes. Another idea is global scoring files that can be optionally installed if the user intends to do, maybe. A protocol extension for search could be used if it is desirable to be able to search, maybe.
A browser from an Ad company and … I don’t know what Mozilla is these days. Doesn’t sound very reassuring. I hope they’d at least try to address memory and performance issues from their desktop counterparts. One amazing (and unmatched) feature of Safari on any platform it runs on is how smooth and battery friendly it is.

Kagi’s been fantastic. I started using them out on principle, but it’s a legitimately good search engine. I almost never find myself going back to google, and when I do, Google’s usually not finding anything either.

I mean, I definitely end a fair number of days thinking "I may quit" at various points in my career. I'm happy for the ability to do that.

I'm not arguing that layoffs don't suck for those involved, but if offered a contract where I couldn't be laid off or quit for N years, I probably wouldn't take it. Layoffs already have some legal protection in most places that require severance and other things that quitting or firing for cause don't.
You'd be getting the ability to choose which rendering issues you went to experience for any given website, which is actually quite useful.
Negotiation goes both ways, you want to be able to demonstrate your value and sometimes that comes by showing people that you can be paid more elsewhere. The game here is positive sum, not zero, you want to know and show what you add to the equation.

I've met everyone above me on the org chart. It's not that impressive because we're smaller, but we're also not doing layoffs and I can talk to people who make human decisions, rather than folks who are trying to cut 10% of expenses off of a spreadsheet by firing "resources."

So I don't think it's quite the same.

What worked for me:

1) Look up a TDEE calculator online. The number it spit out for me (1900 to 2100 calories per day) was very accurate. This is the amount of calories burned per day just being alive. (This can be tested by tracking calories and see if you gain, lose or maintain weight depending on how close to that number you eat)

2) Subtract 500 calories from that number and eat that many calories per day. So in my case, I ate ~1500 calories a day.

3) Weightloss

I lost about 60lbs in the course of a couple of months
> Imagine a pill with this long list of benefits. We’d all be clamoring for it.

GLP-1 agonists are the future of weight loss really. It is the only solution that is not too expensive in terms of time, mental energy, and suffering to succeed long term.

Of course. Anyone who agrees that the AGI is conscious, and answers no is advocating for slavery.

To answer the question of whether it's conscious or not, I would think of it in terms of John Rawl's veil of ignorance[1]: you can set any test, or heuristic that you want to determine consciousness, with the only condition being that you will also be subjected to the same tests, and suffer the same consequences.

So I'm okay with setting the bar for consciousness really, really low.

You'll know what you're reading is propaganda if they're comparing salary increases to productivity increases.

Don't overlook that the primary customer of the WSJ is not conservatives, but businessmen who are looking for accurate business information that will help them make money. If the WSJ just delivered pro-business propaganda, that would not serve their customers' needs.

I subscribed to the NYT for a while, and finally gave it up. Their business news was all propaganda, and of little use for things like picking a good company to buy stock in.

This would be nice if the CEO was not the founder, but in this case, he's the founder and his net worth is $3.8B.
Personally I exercise every day, and the more noticeable direct effects is I have an athletic physique when I don't prevent its visibility by eating too much shitty foods.

But there's a second-order effect of the exercise, since it's mostly calisthenics; when my weight goes up, my performance immediately deteriorates. That mental negative feedback usually corrects my eating misbehavior within a day. It's far more weight-affecting than the calories burned, by changing my eating.

The fact is though, generally speaking, you're not going to outrun a bad diet with exercise...

> Is this why OPEC exists?

OPEC has had a constant problem with cheaters selling oil under the table.

> Is that why in 2010 Department Of Justice had to step in to break up a wage suppression cartel between Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay

Yes, it was a cartel, and the companies were cheating on it. Remember when Jobs complained to Google that Google was cheating on it? There was nothing holding that cartel together.

> If it wasn't fpr the force of law, they would happily cooperate to drive you into poverty.

Cartels have never managed to do that, unless they were (ironically) enforced by law.
KDE is the only window manager in existence that I think is better than Windows 10. I'm a fan of KDE for 20 years. Linux desktop was completely unberable to me until I started using KDE. Some KDE programs like kdiff3 or konsole are still the best ones I've used in their category. Kate was my favorite coding editor until VSCode took over. Ability to open files and directories through ftp or sftp as if they were local files was absolutely wonderful in my PHP days.

I agree that intelligence in a specific area is unevenly distributed. But I think that the word "intelligence" really only gains significance with the context that you're measuring it in.

That's really slow going on a treadmill then. A mile is about 120 calories depending on your weight. A decent jogging pace should be at least 3-4 miles per hour. So adding a bit of incline it shouldn't be hard to hit 400 calories in an hour on a treadmill.

I get about 200 per 20 minutes on the elliptical with a fairly relaxed pace and low resistance.

This is a case where people's expectations really need to catch up. We're being recorded in so many ways in so many situations that "helping someone remember your name" is really the least of your concerns.

Unfortunately, that's also why "auto-name-tagging" is never going to happen. It doesn't help the gigantocorps who are already tracking us through wifi and IR and seismic patterns in public places. They've had data that could make the individual experience immeasurably better for nearly 15 years now, but they conveniently use "privacy concerns" to avoid having to acknowledge it in public. As long as there is a modicum of suspension of disbelief, they can continue to collect all the data they want for their own purposes and to hell with anyone who wants to use their own data for their own purposes.
Kagi. Been paying for 5-ish months or so. The ROI is huuuge.

Between personal and work use, I do 500-700 searches/month and I find what I need very quickly about 90% of the time.

Also benefits my cow-orkers as they don’t have to listen to my incessant bitching about “suggestion engines” and other nonsense that the likes of Google & friends have become.

Beside the lack of ads and tracking, other features like pin/rank/block of sites are super useful at streamlining results.
As a general rule of thumb, WASM (and therefor Rust) will perform:

- better for compute heavy workloads which don’t need to interop with JS and JS-only APIs

- roughly the same or worse for mixed workloads with highly optimized interop

- worse for JS heavy workloads, no matter how much you optimize

Partly this is because interop has a steep cost that negates the perf benefits in such workloads. Mostly it’s because JS runtimes have very good performance characteristics, beating that is a big feat.

There are certainly performance focused mixed native/JS projects with great potential. Almost all of them are either very light on interop or very heavy on deep understanding of both the native language’s performance advantages and that of the JS runtime (which is often itself very runtime specific).

If you have a lucky workload that doesn’t need to cross interop boundaries much, the world is your oyster. If you have any other workload, you’re probably better off working with whatever you feel most comfortable to deliver and optimize for your use case.

Did every tech company CEO have the same brain fart that the 2020-2021 artificial growth created by COVID was going to last a decade or more? I don't think so -- because if they did they'd all be pretty stupid, and I don't think they're that stupid. But I guess it's a convenient excuse and sounds better than "we always knew we'd have to get rid of you when the music stopped".
The article stresses that discipline over diet is easier to achieve than discipline over exercise.

It may be true that it’s easier to skip an extra soda in favor of walking for 30 minutes, but what the article doesn’t touch on is healthy lifestyle changes. Burning 500 calories is as effortless as saying no to a soft drink with the right lifestyle change.

The problem isn’t that exercise is too hard, it’s that our relationship with it has changed. You’re not fat because exercise doesn’t burn calories, you’re fat because you’re sedentary.

Cycle to work. Play with your kids. Start a hobby that doesn’t involve programming something in rust. Moving your body should not and cannot be viewed as something that happens only in a gym or in 30 minute increments.

GPT-3 generally uses the same sources as search. Does GPT-3 using CommonCrawl have some way to exclude all the SEO garbage that is in the crawl data.

The difference with ChatGPT is there is no way to know that the output has been constructed from SEO garbage. Arguably that's even worse than SEO URLs that one can easily identify and avoid.

The comment about the press loving these projects is spot on. "Tech" employees love to criticise "mass media", except when mass media is promoting their (money-losing) projects.
Weegee and W. Eugene Smith were my primary influences back when I was shooting as a hobbyist and, later, as a professional.
