I've also self studied economy and am jaded with all the examples that go to the root of the economic theory while reality is oftentimes more complicated. Such as in the example with me working for a VC backed company, my friend working for the utility company and GPs consultant working for whoever pays the money.

> The classic question in economics was this - why are diamonds more valuable than water? Without water you're dead. Without diamonds you're mostly no worse off.

Would people pay more for diamonds if they were dying of thirst? People pay more for diamonds vs. water only if the water problem is already handled. The economy is such a complex model of every interaction that I find it disingenuous to base the assumption that market rate == usefulness on pure theory.

> That's how a market works. If your friend quit his team, he would presumably be easy to replace. If you quit your team, it would be harder. That is eventually reflected in your salaries.

In this particular circumstance, no. He's a lot harder to replace in terms of quality and knowledge than I am in my current team. We were lucky to get injected with millions of dollars of capital while he works for a utility company. He is useful for thousands of people. My lines of code have not been used by anyone yet and possibly will never be.

> It's not perfect - since no one has perfect information, a lot of this stuff is based on guesswork and consensus. But you can very clearly see that the principles are correct.

The principles are correct; is it possible that they are correct because they are fundamental, and not the actual reality where politics come into play? If we'd be designing for the real world like we study physics in high school (no friction, perfect spheres...) there'd be a lot of difference between the theory and practice. I'm not sure why people suggest economy is otherwise.

> That's a fair conclusion, but I disagree with it.

Likewise. We can agree to disagree. But taking politics aside, I am glad that at least on some level, one can find a software engineer in a poorly managed country making less than a garbageman in a well managed one. So, somewhere in the world there exists a garbageman that provides more value to society than a software engineer.
This. If I'm paying for it, I'm the customer. Facebook's customers are its advertisers. I'm not shelling out money to be a value added product.
Hindsight is 20-20. I was in a meeting at Activision after the E3 where the PlayStation and the Saturn came out. The conclusion our analysts reached was that the Saturn would win, largely on the strength of Virtua Fighter as compared to Tekken.
> when all constellations are set to shut up when over head

Total off is unreasonable, but a safety mode where chatter is reduced is doable. Particularly with LEO constellations. This could be done by e.g. the FAA, perhaps even solely through rulemaking.
I wish this were true, but is it? One of the most stable societies in human history was ancient Egypt which was ruled by a god-king and remained relatively unchanged for thousands of years. Democracies, on the other hand, tend to be much more volatile. I think equal societies may be more unstable than unequal ones.
on the contrary, its possible there is a common factor for both which may become more obvious if plotted with the rest.

it might also point out things that might corrupt an exceptional person to become net-negative to society.
Sites should really stop using title case for news articles. Seeing the title on HN made me ask "what's an access control language cedar", even though it's "access control language Cedar".
It remains to be seen how large is the market for search that can subtly and confidently lie to you.
There are heavy limitations on union industrial action in Australia that make this sort of thing much more likely to happen. It's a tremendously contrived system and as a result Unions often up very chummy to the employer as elements which may be more amenable to confrontation can get frustrated with the immense complexity and difficulty that brings. Any kind of industrial action used for bargaining is almost impossible to get authorized. I'd say the Australian union system is one of the worst in the world, and most Australian unions are structurally busted.
Unfortunately Nazi and/or extremist right-wing ideologies are a staple in militaristic organisations. But you should acknowledge that the Azov Brigade, an arguably Nazi-infatuated militia is broadly following orders from a Jewish president. That should tell you something about how welcomed the Russian Invasion is in the Ukraine.
- I was just looking to build a database similar to Redis for practice, and thought Elixir's ETS and OTP would be useful.

- Just learning more about databases while building a Redis alternative.

- It appends operations, the same ones you write to the TCP client and when loading them, just runs those one by one. I will still add some optimizations for e.g. repetitive commands.

- I haven't thought much about it yet, feel free to start a discussion in the GitHub repository to further talk about that.

- Probably not crash the server but return more useful errors and use Elixir's OTP features.

Glad to hear that you liked the project!
Mundfish actually faces two problems:

A large part of its development studio is located in Russia, they also plan to sell their game in Russia, so they can't afford to anger Russian authorities (and also some of its Russian staff and some of its Russian audience) by posting anything in support of Ukraine.

The whole glorification/exploration is the other problem. It's easy to vilify Nazism in a setting where Nazism delivered everything it had promised, because the vast supermajority agrees it promised vile things. A game about fully automated luxury space communism has to work harder. Or imagine a game where the Caliphate managed to convert the whole world. You'll get claims that the game is both Islamophobic and a glorification of Islamism.
This is indeed a remarkable number, I read 30m millionaires some place else.

Do they count stocks which are held but not cashed out and do they count houses which are subject to mortgages?

If no, then that is a truly impressive number, I think even Switzerland does not come close by percentage.
The mathematical equivalence of Hamiltonians and path integrals, by itself, doesn't tell us anything about a "multiverse", however.

Since the mid-20th century, many philosophers have come to analyse everyday talk about possibility in terms of "possible worlds" or "possible universes". However, those who invented that language (such as Carnap and Kripke) weren't claiming that all those possible worlds were just as actual as this one – that claim only arose later (David Lewis). Similarly, the originators of the path integral formulation of QM (Dirac and Feynman) weren't claiming that all those paths were "equally real". By contrast, the majority of proponents of "multiverse" theories, are claiming those other "universes" are ultimately just as real as this one, as as opposed to merely being some theoretical construct, a mathematical metaphor.

You can understand these "paths" in two ways – either as just a useful mathematical tool for analysing past observations and experimental results, and predicting future ones, but passing no judgement on their ultimate ontological status; or, as a claim that in some sense, all these paths "really exist". And, if you adopt the later reading, you can then argue whether they are all "equally real", or maybe one of them is "actual" and the others "non-actual", or even just maybe that some are "more actual" than others. Nothing wrong with those debates – but when we start engaging in them, we are no longer doing physics proper, we are doing the philosophy of physics.
> ... but why does, when my X11 (happens in wayland too iirc) system has some kind of bug, one window displays the contents of another (with some graphical corruption)?

> my supposition was that a buffer of one program ending up in a VRAM associated with another program can only happen if there is no MMU, otherwise, what's the point

Because the compositor is running entirely in one GPU user context with access to the different windows. The different applications can't access each other, but the compositor can see all of their final display buffers.

> also: do you happen to know why do Qubes folks think that it's okay for two mutually untrusted programs run on the CPU, but can't accept that two untrusted programs can run on the GPU without eveasdropping on each other? even with IOMMU it seems.

> gives me the impression that safely sharing the GPU is a work in progress / not very secure

Defense in depth from not trusting MMU hardware that slightly changes it's interface to drivers every year and is different for every manufacturer, combined with the lack of documentation on said hardware.

An IOMMU doesn't really address the problem because it doesn't provide a way to split a GPU, only to give it as a whole to another context. So for instance an IOMMU doesn't enable the ability to access the GPU from multiple VMs simultaneously either.
Step 1 is being rich, by the sounds of it.

> Have you heard about the people killed by the ukranian nazis

During WW2, even the German nazis were surprised by how ruthless the Ukrainian nazis were, even they thought the Ukrainian nazis went too far. The Ukrainian nazis are worse than the German nazis.
That's a google-whack. Catchy phrase... it sounded so nice I for sure thought it was from a movie or something.

I'm sure Zuck will find some dumbfucks (his words, not mine) who are up for that.
I assure you, people do. It's certainly not the case for lower-class people who are just scrambling to survive economically, but if you asked around people who are more affluent, they could definitely afford to reduce their workload to better care for their children.

One colleague was arguing that the standard school system was very destructive to children and alternative schools were doing a much better job making them able to think. However, she also said she is sending her children to a standard school because of the cost and complexity. In other conversations, she mentioned that her neighbor complained about the noise of their private pool cleaning system, which is still an ongoing problem, or how going skydiving was a great experience.

There is a lack of self awareness in how "doing like normal people do" is influential to most people. People work for shit they don't need, and don't really think what is going to bring them happiness.
Read some about Kadyrov and his henchmen, also called Kadyrovites. Quite interesting and terrifying from the perspective of a somewhat healthy democracy.

Yes. Cryptomator is better in this regard.

For someone who knows nothing about self-hosting, where should I start? I'm a self-taught junior dev but haven't had a chance to dabble with any aspect of deployment yet... willing to learn though.
Anomaly-based talent often implies that there persons sacrificed their lives, often their health, their family, to get an edge. A lot of high-achievers are suicidal, like Churchill, who only succeeded at plane dogfights because he’s the only outlier that didn’t die performing those crazy stunts. A lot of those who try and don’t succeed are very suicidal.

I’m all for meritocracy, but we should strive so that most people can succeed in parallel to a good family life. So that the children are balanced and loved, and we have a second generation who’s even better.
Broadcast-type announcements can be a little weird to announce in a group chat though. A very basic example, but let’s say you’re in a group chat mainly for gaming together. Are you going to be the first to make a big personal announcement, like “I just bought a house”? You could, but it almost feels weird in that you’re specifically putting the spotlight on yourself and also soliciting direct responses (some of which might just be a token “congrats!”). Whereas if you post a similar announcement on Facebook, Instagram Stories, etc, nobody feels compelled to respond unless they really want to.

You could say “if you don’t think people care, only tell your close family and friends”. But broadcast announcements can cause more spontaneous reactions from people, and I often find myself reconnecting, even if only in a short conversation, with people I don’t generally talk to otherwise. It’s a better way for staying connected with old friends, who you might not have reason to talk to frequently (e.g. via group chat), but would happily spend a day catching up with if you were in the same city.
Huh, interesting fact - eCos is also used as the operating system on Sinar emotion series of digital backs, which use Intel’s ill fated xscale processor. It was used much later than 2002 as well
I bet someone else has that link at hand where someone does parallel processing in shell with a fracture of the memory and CPU
Over centuries the real books will still be much more valuable. Paper, even if it's dusty and half rotten will be there and somewhat readable even if we forget about it. Some old file format, on ancient hardware, probably not... unless we actively keep it alive.
Which means you'd need a IBM mainframe, since IBM mainframes require enterprise storage arrays which come with special software for emulating the old mainframe hard disks (ECKD), and if you are going to buy one of those, you'd need a mainframe to drive it.
That’s a deep y-axis! But yeah, essentially!
You mean they can actually use the things in the Fast and the Furious!?!?!?!!

I have heard through the grapevine that a lot of companies in SF/SV were hoarding employees they did not need to prevent competitors from getting them. Elon Era Twitter seems like a confirmation of that (or at least a data point).

A lot of people thought Twitter would collapse immediately due to all the cuts. Granted, as you wrote, it isn't as good as it was, so he probably cut too much.

Sounds like the gallery is 100% responsible and negligent for putting it on such a precarious setting.

If a little foot tap at the base of the stand could do that, and they allowed feet to be near the base of the stand, then it could hardly have been worse if they just left it out front on the sidewalk.

Ah, other comments are illuminating. The thing was mass produced and of little value despite the price tag.

So now the worst job being done is not the gallery for failing to protect something of little value, but Zoe Sottie or CNN for publishing a non-story.
This is a horrible take. Do you know if they are rich, and how they got rich? And why would you demonise the children of people who went from nothing to doing really well?

As a professional developer that only works on Java I hated the fact that Oracle bought Sun. I was rooting for IBM or Google. If you use the Oracle JDK; yes you MIGHT need to pay money depending on what you use of it. There are around 10 (?) different providers of Java Software Developer Kits available all the others are free. I know no Java developer that actually uses the one from Oracle; and since I am a consultant that works on contract bases at different companies I have spoken quite a few of them.
English frequently uses they to refer to a singular person.

It's been common place all my life and that's going on six decades now.

'Merkin English, however, likely has prescriptive rails and a lingering shrinking horror stemming from the inappropriate touch of Webster.

> those old paper books are more accurate guides to how people use it than their ideologically-driven on-line counterparts.

Exactly - see the full OED (Oxford English Dictionary) entry on the long historic use of 'they' over seven centuries and the many ways in which it has been (and continuous to be) used contemporaneously both as singular and plural.
when the paper started the classic "I have no clue what typedef's actually are in C and what their interpretation is" I was like hmmm... glad this explains why it is just a terrible, biased article

Well, it depends on what you mean by "two systems". If they are described by one Hamiltonian the result is one path integral. In a relativistic quantum field theory, for example, one may describe systems of any number of particles. The path integral captures all the interference effects.
> it was seen as somehow "less than" symbolic solutions

This reminds me of an old prof during my PhD studies (physics) who was always telling how immature and simple minded computer users were.

I told him once that using a computer requires intelligence and aptitudes that some people who criticize indeed lack.

It did not go well.

People seem okay with annotating everything.
Why are gazillions of parameters needed in the first place? From an information perspective it feels that there might be some fundamentally inefficient use of parametric freedom. A brute force approach to combinatorial explosion so to speak. Are there any research efforts that look into how to reduce model complexity (without substantially sacrificing performance obviously).
It's pointless to ask China to help curb the chemicals supplied to Mexico's drug cartels. The cartels will just buy the chemicals from somewhere else, maybe pay a little bit extra, or even make their own.

I think the only solution is to press Mexico for allowing its drug cartels to operate. First it was weed, then cocaine, now fentanyl which is the worst.

Let the US send in its army to put a lid on the cartels.
Literally to put their money where their mouth is.

You can with the $ syntax. Never seen it used though. Maybe it isn't very portable.

Indeed. Embarrassing! I consciously avoid using "intra" or "inter" in English for this reason, and when I do because of someone else's jargon I also say what I mean to disambiguate. Unfortunately we can't deprecate english to avoid these mistakes... but maybe we can design a system of macros we can insert into our posts to statically check if our usage is correct.
It's true that somehow C++ programmers rationalise completely new programming languages with incompatible syntax every three years as "stable" and Rust's stability as "unstable" but turns out that the people actually developing it don't agree with you that just changing everything would somehow make it "settle".
(mostly a joke)

In the good old days a scientist was a hard thinker and published each year a paper and it was hard to gather data. (Einstein thinking about general relativity publishing after how man years?)

Nowadays a scientist scraps data from the web and hacks p-values.

In the future LLMs will feed each other their generated papers.
I'm new to webdev (literally started learning some front-end two month ago), and this was probably the website who taught me the most, as I kinda knew xml and was already proficient in language ES6-adjascent.

Yeah mine is publicly accessible, I should have probably added.
I'm sorry if I'm being ignorant and I undestand that especially for minimum wage workers layoffs are a tragedy. But working in tech, you want to work among the best people. So how can you improve quality of teams without laying off those who are worst performing? This is sincere question, laying off people one by one seem to be creating more drama and psychological baggage for those fired.

Of course I don't know how good are corpos at deciding who's contributing the least. Probably pretty bad. But that to me is a completely separate story.
Honestly it's really amusing, after a few years of reading things like "say nothing on exit interview, that's only problem", "HR is not on your side", "you owe nothing to your employer, you are the most important", "it's not my employer concern that I have two jobs" etc.

Suddenly, when other side plays the same card half of HN calls for blood :-)
THANK YOU. I heard about this on This American Life in 1999, but couldn't remember the name of the zine or find the episode in their archives when it recently surfaced in my mind.

What a nice knowledge base you have! I'm kinda jealous.

The point of the txt thing (at first) was to show a friend that you can start a blog right away with only some txt files (he wanted to start a blog, but he started right away to worry about the time to setup something). In the end I used this txt thing to share posts to a broad audience without clogging my connection too much.
Personally, I would think that some people are destined to be happy, just as some are destined to be a "genius".

I understand the sentiment that chasing happiness without "purpose" or consideration to the world around you might make someone vain and hedonistic but I don't think that applies to being career driven. I do think a strong career drive (esp. external) will not make you happy, and may even be a source of discontentment.
