Unless I'm mistaken, the purpose of the CHIPS Act is to onshore American chip production. It doesn't make a delineation between American or non-American companies (though I'm sure some companies wouldn't pass). Nor should it.

This is Intel promoting nationalism, imo.
I think the point being made above is that good leaders consistently and forcefully resist the invitation to take personal credit for accomplishments that is inevitably and repeatedly thrust upon them by the public eye.

> Remember: the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference.

This is very wise. I was having a conversation last night where two people were discussing how dejected it can make them feel when someone is critical of the work they put forward. I think it’s easy to let others’ hate consume you and to take it as a bad sign, but the reality is that you’ve engaged someone and an engaged person is far more valuable in the long run than an indifferent one. Relationships are built on engagement not on apathy.
Simplistic Complexity: A Discussion on Psychoanalysis and Chaos Theory (2005)
I think, looking for spots where "climate there will be stable" is limiting, because some spots will actually benefit from the local climate change.

I would also see it as a two-level model. On the global scale, everybody will be negatively affected by the climate change, because its consequences (drought, flooding, but also refuges) will destroy economic cooperation and productivity, so everything will be hard to get and more expensive, and people will be looking for any job.

On the local scale, some land that was cheap and uncomfortable to live before might become wanted and better suitable to live. I think, the places that are barren and/or too cold today might benefit.
I see gamified as structured. A lot of new founders, and those who've yet to succeed, don't know how to get organized. YC is helping with efforts like Startup School.

Not to be the "citation needed" person, but can you point me to the specific legal statute that makes this distinction -- i.e., says that platforms can only blacklist content? Or are you saying that you think this should be the definition and we should pass new laws that enforce limits on what platforms can do?

There's no evidence at all to suggest that this kind of modular, Yahoo Pipes-style website is coming, AI powered or not.

What the author talks about is similar to what Blackberry and Microsoft tried to do on their mobile OSes, which was bringing in all your messages into a single hub. It failed because it relied on the OEM updating the app each time the Facebook Messenger or Gchat API changes broke functionality. Those companies have no incentive to make things easier for Windows Phone users.

The author is suggesting the same, but for all web content. This may be technically feasible, but it won't happen because commercial websites do not want their content piped to a third party with no attribution or ad impressions.

This would be the very first objection a VC would have if you went to them to fund such a thing.

I highly doubt it is injected in the DOM. I assume it is a banner shown directly above the web view. You can see in the screenshot that the scrollbar (on the root web view) is below this banner.
Yeah... I guess, Microsoft couldn't have dreamed about putting their users into such a strict jail as was made possible by the advent of iPhone and later Android. Especially so due to having a free alternative that, if they pushed too hard, might have become more attractive to their users.

They were also sued more than Android have been so far. And the legislation has still to pick up steam to crack on the scam that some of the Android (or iPhone) parts are. Unfortunately, legislation needs to have much more technological sophistication that they currently have to be able to deal with this. :(
I'm aware that you're upset because of shortages in the medicine you need.

I think your beef should be with the pharma company seeking to maximize profits by constraining supply such that they are easily overwhelmed by off-label use, not with people seeking effective medical treatment.

There's a common meme among what I've seen from diabetics complaining about the shortages: that this is a tik-tok thing, or prompted by some celebrity, and the medicine is being take by people trying to lose ten lbs. I don't think any of that is true. Doctors are prescribing this for people who have medical conditions that make them dramatically overweight. My mother found relief from lipedema after decades of pain thanks to mounjaro, and she's facing the same shortages you are. She's done the half-doses and the quarter-doses and stretched them out until the pain came back.

Mounjaro is the best drug for a number of conditions, both the approved diabetes and some number of not-yet-approved conditions. Eli Lilly is maximizing profits in a way that leaves people with Type 2 diabetes and other painful conditions suffering. There's no need to blame social media for Eli Lilly's shortcomings.

Great find!

But a depressing comment from dang is in that thread:

> That's my theory too—there's a cap on interesting content.
I love the idea, but no thanks. I'd prefer to keep a version of this running in my own cluster, without data privacy woes.
> Doubtful. The data just doesn't support it. Having connections and the capability to excel in that environment saw them more likely to be accepted into these schools, maybe.

Which data doesn’t support it? The data that we’re talking about that shows that 35% of the richest people went to one of these 8 schools? Or is there some data that you have that shows similarly gifted students that come from similarly “helpful” backgrounds but went to average-or-worse universities, end up at least as wealthy as these students on average?

I get and also believe that these schools probably get more credit than what they actually provide, but I don’t agree that they provide no added value compared to average universities.

> It (university) also doesn't have to have any impact. It can just be a thing off to the side that someone does as a hobby. Just because it costs money doesn't mean it produces economic value. 35% of these people likely also own some kind of exotic sports car, but is the car the reason for their position? Not likely.

At this point I’d like to ask you if you truly think that you are furthering some understanding or if you are just trying to be “right”? I’m not sure how to respond to someone that thinks they’re making a point by saying that owning an exotic car might have the same affect on overall life productively as going to an elite university. :/

It’s nasty stuff sure, but you’re not consuming PFAS every time you cook with Teflon pans. Your pans are fine. In fact, it is actually very difficult to consume PFAS consistently in a way that will actually do long term harm. In the end you’re more likely to die of cardiac arrest from the fatty foods you cook than from PFAS cancer. Saturated fats used for non-stick cooking will clog your arteries with plaque and kill you off eventually, guaranteed.

My advice, don’t worry about it and live your life.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD:

> One of the issues was that Blu-ray Disc companies wanted to use a Java-based platform for interactivity (BD-J based on Sun Microsystems' Java TV standards), while HD DVD companies wanted to use Microsoft's "iHD" (which became HDi).[20]

Microsoft had a direct interest in HD-DVD succeeding as it could sell iHD dev kits and licenses.

Edit ... maybe not, as I read on the article looks like Microsoft didn't actually provide tools so ... not sure then.
One of the frequent critiques of older science fiction works is that they failed to predict the future, or that they seem unrealistic in light of what we now know. I think that misunderstands the point of science fiction.

The hard way - I looked up the average price for the procedure and pestered them for up front pricing. When they told me what they were going to charge I walked out of the facility without another word and went to the local clinic.

I also let my doctor know that I was extremely displeased about his referral to that facility when there were cheaper alternatives.

For a period much earlier in my career (think early 00's) I seriously desired to work in Common Lisp professionally. Through a series of life decisions and other opportunities, that never really happened. But I continued to work on Lisp projects on my own and use it for various things. I don't consider it a "superpower," and I don't think it makes me 10x more productive or anything like that. Most modern languages have stolen most of the thunder from Lisp (other than macros) so I would be hard-pressed to recommend it for greenfield development.

That said, I love working in it. I don't have any illusions that it will make a "comeback" or that I will ever make money writing it (I long ago switched to looking for job opportunities based on the problem domain rather than the toolset), but I continue to use it personally because it makes me happier than any other language.

I dimly recall the Carter Admin was also dealing with the aftermath of OPEC oil embargo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis

The environmental efforts of the time were also framed in terms of energy independence, economic growth, etc.

Also a huge motivator for promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.

Everyone has probably seen https://wtfhappenedin1971.com, a graph that shows the point in time when wages where decoupled from productivity.

Apparently, Vaclav Smil argues that deflection point is because of the rising cost of oil. I'm willing to be persuaded.

However, I agree with u/pessimizer (upthread) that "Carter was the bridge from the New Deal to Clintonism" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34902957

Here's a hot-take from the right that I find agreeable: https://redstate.com/laborunionreport/2011/01/13/the-decline...

Another broader analysis from the left. TLDR: Labor's nadir was the '70s, inclusion of minorities (due to civil rights era reforms) undermined unity, foreign competition devalued domestic labor, and just plain old exhaustion. https://jacobin.com/2021/01/1970s-decade-strike-workers-labo...

I believe that the concentration of the solution they were suspended in was 80 uM, but the concentration in their blood isn't mentioned (and probably wasn't measured) in their work.

Ah - perhaps therein lies a solution! We all get a personal AI bot. Mine would sound like me, would be able to imitate my voice and my writing style, and would be able to distinguish bots from humans better than me. It would screen my calls and messages.

It doesn't work for all games, but I was a big fan of Dark Soul's method of dealing with cheaters.

If your character or account was flagged for cheating, you were put into a public multiplayer pool/jail with all the other cheaters and would only match games other cheater.

It's clever because you never actually know what you did to get caught or if you have even been caught.

You can only suspect when you notice nearly everyone else you play with also cheats.

And good luck trying to add data to it without corrupting some other data it has encoded.
And what would your different shell do with a command that just returned plain text. You have the same parsing problem. Powershell gives you a standard object system to work with that if you lift stuff into are then available to everything else. With text shells everyone ends up writing a different parser each time for each small script.
Yeah, a while back I was looking at booking a train for a decent distance and you could only get connections that had ~5 min or ~5 hours in padding, and nothing in between.

It's a real planning train wreck (ha) and god forbid you need an international connection.
The point of that section was that those commands work the same everywhere. You can type both cd and Set-Location on both Linux and Windows and it will work.
They say they use LangChain, so it's going to be structurally similar to this MVP side-project: https://thundergolfer.com/infinite-ama.

General-purpose hardware can never be as efficient as special-purpose hardware, unfortunately. All computation has a structure to it that is defined by the way the data flows into the operations, which in turn suggests some optimal physical organization. So you first perform the computation on the general purpose hardware you already have, until you have to do it so often it becomes advantageous to design and build a more optimized structure for it.

If you're looking at deep learning, the end game is probably hardware a bit like the brain: a hundred billion of specialized, low-clocked coprocessors crammed in a small space with only local communication to their neighbours.

I don't even bother with iOS/iPadOS/tvOS games anymore unless it's part of Apple Arcade. Plenty of great games in there for the amount of time I have to "waste" on games, and I know I'm not going to have deal with ads or gem/coin pay-to-win tactics.
When reading a shell script, it's way clearer for me to understand what `$file.LastWriteTime` does, compared to extracting a column by numerical index from the text output of `ls` with cut or awk.

Yes, writing powershell tends to be more verbose. But reading scripts is so much better, and from my experience larger scripts are much more maintainable. Powershell can enfore types in function arguments, for example.
Literally billions of lives have been lifted out of poverty due to fossil fuels providing cheap energy. As long as we continue to have an abundance of energy, the effects of climate change will be successfully mitigated.

People love to harp on fossil fuels but don't seem to want to admit that without it, everyone on the planet would still be suffering pre-industrial living standards and there would be vastly fewer of us.
> You can't stop people from eating what they want,

You can certainly stop advertising junk food to kids, that would be a good start. You can also regulate things you know, like not having your entire daily sugar requirement in a single can of soda

Btw if you still eat the same garbage you'll still absolutely wreck your body, obese or not, you'll need a diabetes pill, a cardiovascular disease pill, a blood pressure pill, a kidney boosting pill, &c. You are what you eat, quite literally.
I am at a point where I do not believe I could outsource the net code for the kinds of games that I'd like to develop anymore. By extension, this sort of ruins my ability to use any commercial product like UE5/Unity/et. al.

Networking is very fundamental to some types of games and the expected player experience. Grabbing a generic "this is multiplayer :D" box off the shelf and cramming it into your concept will likely fail miserably if you are seeking a high-quality outcome.

Certain flavors of net code cut extremely deeply into the game engine concerns. Rollback net code is a pretty big dragon in that it suggests your simulation must remain deterministic at all times. Ideally, if you are planning time traveling style net code, you would first have this problem cooking before you send a single byte across the wire.
Inside a company setting, you might consider the current common human-to-human processes getting hijacked. Password recovery, onboarding. A lot of smart people won’t be surprised if AI is asking them to follow janky links during those.

I played Brawl Stars for months without ever spending on the game and I unlocked everything non-cosmetic that was available. The option is there but it isn't required, if you pay to advance your level faster it just means you will be put against better players and hit your "skill ceiling" faster so I never saw the point. (caveat that this was a few years ago and these games always tend to get more predatory over time)

It's a very fun game, although the fast paced "just one more game" loop was definitely addictive.

Because after Tsar there was a very good change for Russia to become a normal country with real human rights and freedoms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Provisional_Government

Bolsheviks destroyed this, they also destroyed the change for Ukraine and Belarus and made all of it a murderous genocidal shit hole that lasted well until the death of Stalin during what they invaded and murdered even more nations.

No risk of unemployment? Just the great opportunity being forced to work without pay in the collective farm - from serfdom into slavery, have Russians ever been free?

It is like glorifying Nazis because they built the autobahn. Well done!
