I'm saying that even if it does, electing the people who caused it gives the people what they want and deserve.

Repubicans do not play fair and they do not care about anything but their own power. You have two options: play their game, which means they win, or refuse to play their game and call them out on their bullshit, which means they might win, but if they do then it will be because the public has been shown the truth and just doesn't care.

Obama made the mistake of playing their game a lot in his first term: assuming that republicans actually give a shit about the country and pre-emptively offering reasonable compromise. The republicans, of course, refused to compromise at all and still claimed he was a socialist tyrant.

What I'm saying is, do not negotiate with terrorists.
Have you spent much time with people who deeply ruminate over their online persona? Not only is it a thing but very alarmingly people quickly go sideways into weird places. In a way I feel that less immediate suffering around us has led us to simply displace that bucket of pain into other areas of our lives. So better in a sense yes but the perceived improvement ... I"m not sure that many people are emotionally reaping the benefits.

Maybe because we don't buy that many?

The procurement for 2023 [1, p. 73] was 383 missiles (all AIM-9X) for a total of $171 MM. That's for both the USAF and the US Navy. This allows for about 1 missile per day for fire practice. Which means the vast majority of the pilots don't get to actually shoot one (there are about 20000 active pilots in the USAF and USN together).

Interesting choices. How about we talk about other countries that get away with various bits of blatant authoritarianism, sexism and racism each with their own unique take: Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Germany, etc.
> 2) you get people who have seen how a lot of other companies have done things.

And the result of this at companies I've worked at that had management consultants change process was to just bolt on some processes with adaptations to the business, selling it as "BigCorp™ does it this way and you should too" which eventually backfired when these reorgs and processes don't pan out because they were made for the needs of BigCorp™, not the business they are consulting in.

There is loads of cargo culting from management consultancies.
I liked how the GNOME community dealt with their patent troll. IIRC the patent is no longer allowed to be enforced.
The implication of getting that phone call is that there's a gap between what the client's asking for and what the client needs, which has led them to bring in an outsider.

That's the apparent answer. Underneath it, the real answer is someone in the org, most likely whoever approved spend hiring the consultant, knows the answer but needs insulation from the political fallout from saying it out loud.
Yeah I was suggesting both do it :) Big-4 do plenty of what would get classed as consultancy in areas like IT Security/Compliance, amongst others.
The idea is that dataclasses are for when you just want to store some data in a pre-structured format. It is almost the same thing as a named tuple.

It trades away the flexibility of processing the incoming data in __init__ to make defining the class simpler.

I agree that the name is confusing, I think maybe @autoinit would have been better.
Always amazed at the order of magnitude jumps in that chart. Why are mammograms 20x stronger than chest x-rays? Who would guess how much safer the nuclear energy stuff is than so many common activities? And brick/stone house doses are kind of astounding.

Even after examining that chart every few years, my intuition still isn't tuned to reality.
There are quite a lot of businesses that need to hire consultants to implement the opinions of what to do from their employees. Management to employee communication has broken down to such an extent that the only way to bridge that gap is consultancy. Working out what to do and how to make progress is something consultancy is genuinely good at. The annoying part which only drives a deeper wedge is managements response to this is to have the consultancy implement what they found which just ensures future engagement will be a nightmare.

Its such a common theme in modern businesses.

Taxation is very much used to incentivize certain behaviors and penalize others.

Hence why we have tax efficient retirement savings, why certain expenses are tax deductible whilst others aren’t and why certain goods such as tobacco and alcohol might have additional taxes levied on them.

What black magic is this? Is the article just glossing over the cost of a copy or does Haskell do something weird here to avoid the copy while retaining both versions?
SBF has 2 options:

1: Admit to himself that he was incompetent, stupid and greedy. Admit he wasted a huge opportunity. Admit he may well spend the rest of his life in jail. Admit others tried to stop/warn him and he ignored them. Accept that the buck ultimately stops with him. Accept that almost everyone now has to testify against him.

2: Keep pretending nothing happened and everything was overblown and pretend people will eventually realise this despite all evidence and logic.

I see a surprising number of people pick option 2 in this case. And it often works: people get bailed out. Everyone loves an underdog. I don't think it will happen for SBF. But it's a weird mix of flawed and brazen logic and group and individual Psychology and politics...

It's not a choice that's guaranteed to suit your use case, but storing a time series as a large set of rows is not performant. Perhaps I should have mentioned that our time series data is "write once": we record and store it, but it doesn't get altered. And the time series are all sent to the browser, which does the displaying, filtering and analyzing, so there's no point in processing (our particular) time series in SQL, if that were even feasible. So, basically, because it is good enough, and better than the available alternatives.

> People waking up to the fact that the West and the East are equally bad

You probably want to define what "East" is in this context. If East is Russia + China, it's trivially easy to prove that the West is better for its own citizens.

1. Economic levels in the West.

2. Respect for citizens' lives in the West.

I'm from a country that used to be in the Eastern Bloc, and let me tell you, nobody respects its citizens' lives like the collective West. Yes, the West is still horrible for many groups for human dignity, and yes, they don't always respect their citizens' lives, but boy, are they an improvement over most of the rest of the world.

And we have the numbers, check out military casualties for each side in various wars. The West has by far fewer military casualties than China or Russia have.

And that mentality permeates everywhere. Because if you don't care if your troops die in a war, you won't care if they die in a mine or an office building.

Before you reply, keep in mind I'm talking about statistics.

Ask HN: What shovel skills are needed for running ChatGPT models?
Hi experts, so apparently I have zero knowledge about how ChatGPT (and similar models) work except that they need a lot of GPU. What kind of shovel skills I can learn at home at low cost? Let's say I'm not exactly interested in learning AI itself but just the supporting technologies.

I know vector database is one of them, what else? I think deploying models on top of GPU cluster is important, but from what I see on the market, an entry level GPU cluster machine costs in the north of 10K USD. Anything else?

That’s not what people mean or intend when they call them children. They’re referring to how he has no idea what he’s doing and isn’t making adult decisions.

Putin has to destroy a brighter future for the people of Ukraine to prevent his own populace seeing that future as a possibility for themselves.

There is a lot of truth in that as well. I'm sure its a major driving force for him and others around him. They are a vestigial legacy that will cease to exist in any meaningful manor once most of the dictatorships and faux democracies fall.
I'd guess that depends on the consultancy, but I think one of the complaints customers have is that the "data crunchers" hourly rates is often quite high, sometimes higher than you'd pay for an actual expert in the field working as an independent.
Quite a few of Rust's features were borrowed from or inspired by ones in Haskell - albeit often modified to be more suitable for systems programming (and systems programmers!).

Most Haskellers I know are quite fond of Rust :)
> Letting russia and china on the internet was a massive security mistake we should rectify.

Internet is decentralized in nature. Even if you tried to undo that, what's stopping anyone from bridging a non-CN/RU Intranet to CN/RU-Intranet.

More importantly: who is to decide that? Should now a US-based organization dictate who EU/JP/Africa can communicate with? Applying such decisions at such a low level will only result in the balkanization of the Internet.

And I totally agree with your approach, cost-reward of CN/RU links don't make sense for 99% of people. But blocking should *still* be optional (opt-in vs opt-out is another debate), becase for some (e.g. hardware, financial firms), the benefits of being able to communicate with China and Russia might outweigh the constant spam/attacks.

On a general note, why do people constantly try to impose their perspective on others? "This is bad for me/most, therefore should be banned for all."
They so like cloaking themselves as noble crusaders against censorship, but their crusades never go further than their ideological doorstep.

Sadly that's true for almost everyone on both ends of the political spectrum. The loudest voices are rarely raised in defense of expression they despise. Most people espouse whatever set of principles most benefits their own desires, and will abandon them the moment they don't.
This is addressed in the paper. They say a straight line is faster, but much lower odds of success. Overall a worse strategy for survival.
I did an MBA at a school which was basically a conveyer belt to get people into consulting (I didn't, couldn't stand it and I went into PM and engineering). The main thing they teach you is to "identify the hidden customer" i.e. the person who hired you to do a project will have a boss they're trying to please, figure out what *they* want. If you create a proposal which pleases them, you've done well. Note that none of this has any relation to whether what you're proposing makes sense or is a good solution.
They definitely chose their words poorly in that sentence.
The cost of capital didn’t go up due to war.
Buying property in Russia right now is insanely bad investment. Quality of life includes access to customer goods (which are mostly imported, thus largely sanctioned) and medical care (which is heavily import-dependent too, and also prone to rapid brain drain).

I was actually wondering about that yesterday.

It seems like the West, and the US more specifically, isn't capable anymore of physically reproducing/replacing its technocratic elites, which in this day and age mostly means its tech elites. Which made me wonder what would happen in case of a direct US vs China war when in some companies 20% to 30% to even 50% of the engineers have some close family connections on the Mainland. Will those engineers and tech people be ok with seeing China losing and their close family back home physically hurting?

What would happen if the US starts playing it rough with India? When you've got the CEOs of some of the biggest US tech companies being of Indian descent themselves, not to mention the large percentage of Indian engineers active in the Valley and not only.

It was way easier to set up the Manhattan project when many of the people involved had escaped physical annihilation here in Europe (against them and against their close family), but will the US be able to reproduce a future Manhattan project (let's say in AI) using and employing people whose families back home (in China, most probably, in India, as a possibility) would be directly and life-threatening affected by their work? I have my doubts.
The point is that it DOESN’T make you a bad person. You’ve just argued the other side. A country is not its government, especially in oppressive undemocratic regimes like Russia. This is basic shit. I am utterly truly sorry for the unimaginable horrors which you are going through. I genuinely couldn’t begin to understand how this must be for you. I hope I never do. This doesn’t give you a blank cheque to jump online and foster divisiveness between two groups of people just because one of them has a fucked up government that can’t possibly be argued to be representing them.

I read it some time between ages 18 and 23. No, not as a class assignment. And there wasn't a show out at the time. And I'm a dude.

It's totally the kind of thing I'd have read in high school if I'd known about it then.
I'm just shocked at the reaction from the HN crowd in this post. The guy lives in the west but returns to Russia, then blames Ukraine for being invaded, actually kills a teen girl and writes shit about her in the very same post added to HN, and blames everyone around him for his situation. Yet HN loves him because he wrote a cool Javascript library. Blows my mind.

And the person you replied to said "only".
It is laughable hubris to think there's a class of people who can come into an industry, learn it in a few months better than the people who have done it for decades, and fix/improve things.

Only a C suite or a mgmt consulting firm could possibly believe that.

There's a reason nothing ever permanently changes after mgmt consultants prescribe it.
I don't know why (maybe someone can explain?) but frontend developers seem very happy to frequently move between languages and frameworks. I don't think that's true for the places where C++ is popular.

> Do India has the issue of "strict laws which are enforced selectively"?

Yes, we do.
Between India and China you're looking at roughly a 1/4 of the world population. This makes it hard to use sanctions in ways that work better against smaller, less critical countries (like Iran, Myanmar). Even Russia, which doesn't hold quite the same level has been painful for Europe to sanction.

It's also problematic having to fight battles on all fronts at once (and at home for the US, which isn't exactly at the height of democracy itself)[0].

It's also worth being aware that much of the world sees the other side of the US, meddling and not really doing so in the best interests of the local population (not to mention UK colonial history).

We're in this funny place where the US often dictates globally but the protections that are in place with it's own laws only extend as far as citizens. Which is where you end up with all the 5-eyes spying on each other and sharing intel, thereby avoiding the protections put in place to prevent the domestic use of those capabilities[1].

If we only allow "tinkering" to mean fixing things that should work, sure: Stuff works better today. But I include hardware tuning and software modding in that too, and both are vastly more powerful and present than they were in the 90s.

My experience ~30 years ago involves a 386, big-box computer, Window 3.1 pre-installed. My options for tinkering (outside the battle for HIMEM) were pressing a turbo button and hex-editing File Manager to File Mangler. There was no hardware modding scene at that level, just a choice of massively expensive storage and RAM. I'm sure there was more that you could describe as maintenance but I don't consider myself any less of a hacker because I don't have to run "hdsit" before I shut down.

Did I do more stuff? Sure. I didn't have a huge number of games so writing your own, playing with tools was pretty much your only option, and I would agree with a characterisation that people fiddle with computers less because they have less contact time with an actual desktop environment outside of the browser. We are spoilt for choice.

But PC gamers still tinker. The have hardware options unimaginable in the 90s and the scale of game modding scenes for things like The Witcher 3, GTA5, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Minecraft, Souls and Rimworld eclipse those efforts in the 90s, many times over. Shader beautifiers weren't even possible. Is it niche? Probably, but PC gaming has always been niche.
Yes, I disagree with the professor. I think you will get very little dioxin contamination from burning vinyl chloride monomer in atmospheric conditions.
I understand it must be frustrating to have massive companies using your code without paying, while you struggle to make ends meet.

But that is the reality of open source. The very reason that all those BigCo’s are using your code is _because_ you offered it to them for free.

If you actually want payment for your code, but you’re not being up-front about it, then people are going to be annoyed with you when you show up asking for money, because they feel you’re pulling a “bait and switch” on them – because you kinda are.

The reality is that every one of us are relying on thousands of open source projects on a daily basis. Everything from glibc to our web browser itself are mostly if not completely open source. The number of open source projects involved in me writing this comment likely number in the thousands. I can’t practically support all of them directly.

Hard as it may be to hear, your open source project is not special. It’s just another among hundreds or thousands like it in the dependency stack. Only a tiny minority of the people who use it will even know it’s there, much less care that it exists. If you can’t accept that, you should probably get out of the open source business.

Incentives shape human action, but can't force us to break the laws of physics. When a certain type of person rejects emergence in economics as cruel right-wing ideology, but embrace it for promoting scientific progress, the tribal blinders become laughably clear. "The Black Plague was good because it lead to the Renaissance!" See? Anyone can retroactively find a way to justify or defend the merits of an event. It's not clever and (speaking personally) I find it to be an antihuman elitist view that can only be taken by those who see themselves as outside of or above history.
Keep in mind that Maui in December is insanely expensive. The flight would be skewed older and richer, therefore less social media.

I don't know about Haskell particularly but the underlying implementation of data structures in pure languages is sometimes more complicated to enable this sort of thing. For example, the new updated copy of the map may refer to the "old" map for most of its data, thereby making it cheap to have both.
The analogy would be of Logitech would’ve released a keyboard that types for you and that keyboard then decided to type incorrect and possibly liable statements and not only that but that keyboard also decided to publish it.

For Microsoft to be liable all you need to prove is that when asking a question without any guiding prompts the output contains libel.

And this is the problem because Microsoft isn’t just pointing you to incorrect or libel information but they actively creating and promoting it.
