> Your analysis is bad

It may be incomplete but your next sentence about inheritance is actually what's poor judgement on your part.

I didn't mention direct inheritance in my previous comment, however it's really hard to make any distinction between this and the fact that being born in the 'right' family means access to professional/educational opportunities due to specific connections almost never easily attainable by the ordinary mortals. And yes, this often means, especially in professional settings, getting away with doing the bare minimum and staying on the job just because the boss was in high school with your shipowner dad.

> What percentage of millionaires inherited their wealth?

This is a really problematic way to address the effect of inheritance has on one's wealth since such percentages are relied on self-reports, which means that effectively all will identify as self-made. I find it entertaining, but also telling about the brainwashing the financially desperate have suffered, people like Elon Musk being cited as self-made when they always happen to come from financially privileged families.
I was interested in checking whether any treaties exist to limit the use of space based lasers.. and surprised to see that there are no rules against using them.

PCs sales aren't tied to GPU sales, though. Gamers switch GPUs way more often than CPUs (which makes sense, since CPUs often aren't the bottleneck).

PCs have simply become fast enough over the past 10 years and there's been no "Windows Vista"-moment that forced users to migrate to new hardware en masse. A 5 year old system will simply feel pretty much the same to the average user as a brand spanking new one. There's only so many video editors and professional gamers/streamers who thirst after the latest hardware.
I bought a high end MBP nearly 10 years ago with discrete GPU, thinking I would use it for numerical physics simulations, graphics development (I used to be a game engine dev), and maybe even games.

Turns out in that nearly 10 years I've hardly used the dGPU at all. The only time I have it enabled is because it's necessary for driving an external display. The things I've run on it in practice just don't use much GPU.

For compute-intensive things I ended up using big, rented servers, which got faster while my laptop aged. For desktop graphics the iGPU has been adequate, and I ended up not really playing games or doing any ML, simulations or video encoding on it. Compiling, editing, filesystem things, code analysis, data storage and indexing, those don't need GPU at all. The browser does but in practice it's so CPU and memory bound, the dGPU vs iGPU difference is not something I've noticed affect browsing.

One game I played for a while, Tux Racer, did work better with dGPU enabled, but that's not enough reason to buy one if it's an optional and expensive feature. However in practice on a MBP you needed the dGPU to get max specs for the other components, which I needed (in fact the RAM was never enough), so it was still a good choice.

Thanks for answering!

I think I just generally dislike change, whether it's for the good or bad.

For instance, maybe the new office will have more noise from cars.

Noise-cancelling headphones make a difference, truly, but they are tough on the ears to use all day every day, and don't entirely block out voices when they are 1-2m away, alas.

From TFA:

> For instance, if you ask it to define "At what tournament did Venus Williams win her eighth grand slam?" it will make up an answer for you, even though Venus Williams has won seven grand slams. She wanted to win her eighth, as many outlets reported, but she didn't. And the model is confusing the two notions of "wanted to win" vs. "won."

I find even this is giving ChatGPT too much credit. You need way less to make it bullshit its way through an answer: when asking it to explain the plot of the videogame "Inside" (as an aside: an amazing game from the makers of "Limbo"), ChatGPT did reasonably well. As expected.

Then I was curious what it thought about the secret alternate ending and... it made something up, completely unrelated to the real ending. This is surprising, since plenty of articles speculate about the meaning of this ending.

Then I told ChatGPT, "now that I think about it, there were 10 endings, could you describe them?"... and it happily produced 10 endings for Inside, all in keeping with the theme of the game, all completely made up.

If you make a mistake and honestly ask ChatGPT to produce the answer to something that doesn't exist, it will happily oblige.

I don't think it's a grey area at all. The first party is responsible for creating the situation, the second for how they deal with it. This happens all the time in cases where the police have to deal with someone who's threatening people.

and isnt it somewhat reasonable that if we do not believe the maintenance explanation, that it MIGHT just be that they are doing it to force the germans to put the stamp on the final opening approval for nord stream 2? there is a reason nord stream 2 was created, even though nord stream 1 exists.
Not sure when you saw the HN post, but the original title was "Why messaging is much better than REST for inter-microservice communications" - @dang / HN changed it.

The article specifically points out that this is for inter-service communication. However, you can also use the same system for synchronous communication out the your end user clients, then using the MatsFuturizer: https://mats3.io/docs/sync-async-bridge/

I received one of these phishing emails, today, and also Namecheap's follow-up/apology. The phony email purported to be from DHL, which really stood out.

Both emails were handled by Sendgrid, passing spf, dkim, and dmarc. They appear to use the same dkim selector, though I suppose that isn't so important--just that the headers were convincing enough.

That's very true. I see other programming languages trying to add/enhance types now (ruby, python, go to some extent), and not having a beast like Anders on the team must make it tough to ship an amazing type system.
> By the time the pipeline was bombed, it was clear that the EU wasn’t going to cave into Russian demands to stop supporting Ukraine.

it is clear that the ruling class didnt want to, but there was increasing pressure from the people of germany and also other parts of EU to approve nord stream 2.

And the US simply couldnt accept that the possibility that they would cave to pressure from the people(the horror). Its probably entirely possible that the germany/EU regime asked the US to do it, just to remove the possibility of them having to be accountable to their own citizens.
heh, funny quote I heard from an American tour group at Versailles: "This place makes George Washington's house look like a small apartment"
The Vinyl Chloride Monomer is often referred to as VCM.

It is a gas which is liquefied under pressure in a similar way to propane, so tanks and rail cars must be completely airtight at all times.

Otherwise the entire liquid cargo will rapidly be expelled under pressure as a liquid from any opening on the bottom of the vessel, or the entire liquid cargo will still evaporate quite rapidly and eventually all escape as a gas stream through defects or open valves on the top part of the vessel.

Any VCM liquid spilled will act like propane and rapidly turn into a gas which will disperse much wider through the air much more rapidly.

Not much is going to soak into the soil or be carried away by water drainage channels.

If it was an acetone spill or something like that it wouldn't evaporate nearly as fast, nor present as widespread an atmospheric content downwind, and you would have to get a lot closer to the spill to detect the vapors or smell it yourself even for a briskly evaporating liquid like acetone.

But the VCM is not only flammable, it is actually a highly toxic gas.

VCM smells exactly like most brand-new PVC shower curtains, because VCM's exactly what you're smelling in very small concentrations, as any residual monomer often outgasses strongly the first few days after hanging the curtain.

In an unventilated bathroom I would think that's often beyond the recognized working VCM levels allowed in industrial facilities.
I find it crazy that you improve the readability so much and say readability hasn't improved that much.

The order things happen in *this++ is not obvious unless you know a bunch of C-specific rules, while the ordering of multiple statements is obvious even to someone who doesn't know C. Perhaps C programmers should find this obvious, but it seems to me more like cognitive overhead which has a non zero chance of confusing someone at some point.

Almost everything I know about Chernobyl came from a TV series I watched. How much of that series is a faithful representation of reality? I've not done any research myself. Could I trust what is on Wikipedia when half of the references are in books I'll never read? I could go to Ukraine but the reactor is sealed off, and I don't speak Russian.

My point is, ChatGPT is just another step in a process which has been going on for decades. The simulation of reality it creates is just another step removed from what we're used to, but what we've become accustomed to wasn't reality anyway, even if it seems like a faithful copy of it.

The people use things uncritically all the time. Many people don’t even read past a headline. Someone who won’t check their source on a search headline won’t check the source on anything else they read on the internet either, which is rife with incorrect information (either accidentally or intentionally).
I forget the name of the TV series but there was a great show where aliens had occupied earth and the drones were just completely lethal and unstoppable. It was very realistic, the machines would just show up and instantly frag everyone in sight. The story was about a cop who ended up working for the alien occupiers, I wish I could remember the name of the show.

>> 3. It encourages a ton of code churn with very low signal.

> 3) “Code churn” is a very uncharitable description of day-to-day maintenance of an active codebase.

Also implicit in the discussion is the fact that Google and other big tech companies performance review based on "impact" rather than arbitrary metrics like "number of PRs/LOCs per month". This provides a check on spending too much engineer time on maintenance PRs, since they have no (or very little) impact on your performance rating.

Not enough acronyms in your comment.

EDIT: judging from your post history, I wonder if you're a ChatGPT bot trained on US military documents. You do love the lingo and unnecessary acronyms.
I'm a huge fan of it personally. To me, relative to Node the way this handles feels, broadly, closer to a browser -- by leaning on Web standards there's a variety of knowledge transfer between client-side work and server-side for things like packaging, API calls, and various other functionality; and it builds in enough basic tooling that I don't have to find or install or develop opinions on external libraries for handling anything from watching files to using environment variables to running tests (if I necessarily cared to do that with personal projects).

The limitations that stick out most to me personally are that there's still no ARM support, and that, while the Node compat is getting a lot better, it's still hard to get a clear sense of where it is for individual packages -- what runs natively/is isomorphic, vs what'll run under a compat layer, vs what just won't run at all.
That's the go-to lie of people trying to start civil wars and scare people into taking their side. "If you're not with us, you're against us". "Not taking side is just supporting status quo, which is taking a side". War is peace.
Seems like the hackers also had access to at least some customer data. Several people I know who were also Namecheap clients, including me, received those emails. Whether that data was also stored with the upstream provider remains to be seen. Might be an even bigger deal.
> If your queue is the bottle neck (yes it happens) how do you know there are more nodes getting added to it? How do you rebalance the topic over multiple new nodes in the queue?

In a message queuing system, there is no rebalancing - you just add nodes, which then also get messages, typically in a round-robin fashion. This is not Kafka.

But of course, you can max out your message broker. As you can with a network switch for that matter.

> oh look i got an error and retried a few seconds later

So now you need a retrying mechanism. Which is provided as a basic feature of a messaging system. And with the transactionality, you do not get the problem of wondering whether the first attempt went halfway through, or not.

With all due respect, speaking as someone not in New Hampshire, your (and the article's) request to me and others like myself is a subversion of democracy.

This New Hampshire state bill is being deliberated in the New Hampshire state legislature, to be eventually voted on by New Hampshire state legislators voted in by and representing the people of the state of New Hampshire.

As a strictly state matter, any influence from outside the state of New Hampshire is a subversion of democracy in the state.

Ooft. Although TypeScript does have a bit of a learning curve, and a lot of gotchas, I still have to say it's my favorite language to use. If you combine the delicious syntax-sugar of ES6 (and beyond) with a sprinkling of tasteful types, the language leaves you full and energized without feeling bloated.

I use a 4k 28inch as my primary monitor for code at home (laptop screen has email and slack). I run i3wm and typically code with 4 terminals windows next splitting the monitor into 4 equal sub windows, each having 1080p and running vim. It's very nice and whenever I have to visit the office and is stuck with their 1080p monitors I find my self severely limited because I'm so used to my home setup.

Wow that's the most blatantly misleading chart I've seen out of these types of outfits in a long time!

I'm sorry this is kind of long, but I really had to make sure I wasn't missing something with how obvious there were about it.

The complaint people have is that they're not matching up hardware realistically... so they take a ~$350 Intel CPU and pit it against a ~$250 AMD CPU, instead of the ~$350 AMD sibling it launched alongside of to artificially induce a larger gap!

How much do you want to bet the same graph with a 2700x would have given a much less convincing gap?

-

Now you might be thinking I'm just being uncharitable... but they actually tested the correct SKUs specifically for future proofing, twice over the last few years! Talk about a smoking gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11GvlWamF2E

And no surprise, it took using a $1000 GPU at 1080p to shake out half the gap shown for a similarly priced GPU in the video!

And even worse, if you actually go and look at the individual titles, unlike the graphs shown here, at no point was the difference enough to affect your ability to hit a playable refresh rate! The largest differences were in games where they were both getting over 300 FPS since again, they're using a $1000 GPU for 1080p!

-

And if you're still not convinced it's an intentional attempt to push a misleading point, I mentioned they've done this comparison twice... the last time the entire point of the video was to not base your choice on future proofing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZkJ_-vfQa8

They actually concluded by saying there was no meaningful difference, gaming is largely GPU limited, and specifically replied to people claiming that you can just wait for the difference to appear:

I wouldn't hold your breath, I expect you'll upgrade your [CPU] platform once or twice before those extra cores for gaming matter

I don't know how much more blatant you can get than that...
The reason to try it that I took away was that it's easy to install and then you get all these niceties - LSP, formatter, scripts, with no extra effort! I love that!!!

You’re describing bad habits as if they’re a forgone conclusion. Repository-level separation between code makes certain bad habits impossible so a sloppy team will be more effective with many-repos because they physically can’t perform an entire class of fuck-ups but there’s lots of organisations where these fuck-ups… just don’t happen, and so the co-locating code in a monorepo isn’t a concern.

If your organisation can’t work effectively within a monorepo then you should absolutely address the problem, either by fixing the problematic behaviour or by switching away from a monorepo. The problem isn’t monorepos, the problem is monorepos in your organisation.

This seems like a bad faith twisting of the original question and response.

The original question was about a balloon filled with a dangerous substance, not civilian air traffic.

Civilian air traffic is regulated by the Chicago convention, and shooting it down would be undoubtedly be the responsibility of the nation shooting it down.

The difference is largely one of consent. Nations have the right to control what happens in their air space. But if they consent to civilian air traffic, then shoot down an aircraft that nation is responsible.

If they consent to a balloon filled with dangerous substances in their air space and then shoot it down, then the nation is responsible.

If they *do not* consent to the balloon filled with dangerous substances and shoot it down, then the originating party is responsible.
