Investing, whether in real estate or day trading, is inherently based on asymmetry, leading to an extremely uneven distribution where it can appear as if the smart money just dumped the bag at the top on retail.

My concern with your perspective is that it ultimately leads to the conclusion that the only way to prevent these situations is to prohibit retail investors from participating in certain types of investing.

This kind of thinking is what has led to modern America, where individuals are unable to invest in their friend's barbershop unless they meet certain net worth requirements or have worked on Wall Street.

I think it's not so much that there are too many combinations of capabilities, but more that it is hard to express the device/host constraints in a user-friendly way.

Does a 'red' stripe mean my 'green' device will or will not work? Or, confusing things further, work fine but maybe not be able to pull enough power to (fast) charge or have degraded capabilities like full speed data but no display.

IMO this is something that should be handled by the host / software and a clear nomenclature for capabilities. Notify the user if there are missing, required capabilities or performance is degraded and that they need to upgrade the cable to achieve X. As long as the cable meets the minimum USB spec this should be achievable fairly easily.

Where a marking is absolutely needed though is 'charging only' cables with no data lines. These are infuriating.

That sounds like at-least-once delivery with recipient systems tracking known received messages. Which is to say faking exactly-once with the power of idempotency, rather than exactly-once.

This is academic with enough abstraction, but when you're designing a system and implementing the work of processing a message it can be a pretty important distinction. Especially if you're past the point where the list of seen items becomes a chokepoint for synchronization between consumers.

People often don't associate the bad things with the people that caused them. They associate the bad things with the person cleaning up the mess.

Daley didn't raise their taxes. The meters didn't skyrocket in price under his tenure. People rarely look for causes to things. Ah, so he didn't fund pensions so now my taxes are going up? No, it's the newer mayors who are the ones raising my taxes!

Yes, if you look at the situation, he might have caused those problems, but during his tenure people probably felt better. They had more money in their pocket and weren't being told bad news.

When it's to drive out the competition, I think it's called "dumping". (I first heard of this as "chip dumping", as in semiconductor chips.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)

It can also be to build a market, to encourage customers to invest in building atop this.

In any case, I think no customers should be making assumptions about costs too far ahead. (Since the price could go up or the price model change, the supplier could get out of that business, supplier could give your competitor a better deal or just cut you off , near-future tech evolution necessary to be competitive might have very different pricing or availability to you, etc.)

> The evidence for not being a lab leak was just as weak as being a lab leak.

Not at all, because the evidence for a lab leak was non-existent and the people and sources spreading the conspiracy theory often admitted as much.

Tom Cotton, one of the first republicans to push the theory, said himself: "Now, we don’t have evidence that this disease originated there, but because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says"

when the washington times jumped into the game their own article included this admission: "In principle, outward virus infiltration might take place either as leakage or as an indoor unnoticed infection of a person that normally went out of the concerned facility. This could have been the case with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but so far there isn’t evidence or indication for such incident." (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/26/coronavirus...)

Meanwhile the evidence for not a lab leak was actual science like genome analysis. That work was published by scientists in preprints for the world to scrutinize unlike the politicians whose claims were based on suspicion alone. There was no science supporting the lab leak theory in January 2020, just speculation.
Fully agree with your take. CSS should have more straightforward properties that actually do what people intuitively expect it to do without additional dependencies and weird side effects.

Even the supposedly favorable case of having a flexbox container with place-self: center in many cases still does not correctly center the child element. For example, a label inside a button. The label is typography, which means it has its own vertical spacing (line-height, top-cap, bottom margin) that may be unevenly distributed. Fixable, but now you're into the 3rd rabbit hole, just to center something.

Ask HN: Systems level challenges in ML/AI
I have considerable experience in kernel/OS layer and 1 level up/down from it. While ML/AI is quite interesting, I dont enjoy theory behind models and their algorithms :( However, system level challenges excite me such as is there new storage requirement for such machines? What GPU/CPU bottlenecks exists in today's ML pipelines?

Are there any such challenges or a need for breakthrough/redesign at systems level for a highly efficient ML stack?
I wish there were more stories about metro lines being completed "in record time" in the US. Or being completed at all. Can we still build anything besides more highways?
You misunderstand my comment. I'm not afraid of bad things happening. I'm talking about the fact that different cables have different capabilities. That adds complexity where the point of USB was to reduce it, and that is compounded by the fact that you can't even tell what sort of cable you have by looking at it.

In terms of hassle, USB-C is a bit of a step backwards from the prior USB versions.

If you have the raw sequence, services like yfull.com can help provide more detailed information. At this point, new haplotypes are being called every month. When I sequenced my own haplotype about 20 years ago (I was in the Indian lab partner of the Genographic Project at the time), the best we could do was call a few handfuls of mutations by hand (I used to run the gels myself) and my own haplotype was characterized out to maybe 3 mutations - the current haplotype is perhaps out to 20?

They replaced all the meters with the boxes and made an app. They also pay for all the meter maids even though the ticket revenue goes to the city. So there are definitely some expenses, but yea margins are surely crazy.
> If a lot of functions is a code smell, then the problem is with the language.

Let me kindly disagree :). You do not use a build system to write a complex program, you use it to call a compiler.

You could run your compiler manually, but it doesn't scale. You could write a shell/python/lua/etc script that scales better, but nobody else will know it (and chances are that nobody will want to learn about it).

By using a build system (autotools, cmake, meson, gradle, ...), you agree to use a standardized API to call your compiler. It doesn't really matter what API it is; what matters is that it is standardized: once you know it, you can build all the projects that use it.

Now it is true that CMake projects are often a mess. Either because it's used incorrectly, or because it's doing a lot of magic with custom functions (and therefore it looks more like a custom shell script than a CMake project).

Do I mean that CMake is perfect? Certainly not. But it doesn't suck either. And I see a whole lot of criticism coming from people who write messy CMakeLists. For a criticism to be constructive, it has to be informed.

I would argue maybe that the author's premise depends on some faulty prompts.

With some gentle rephrasing, ChatGPT correctly interprets and manipulates the stack problem. I've observed ChatGPT may have some issues with non-standard sentence structure involving, especially with colons.

> Imagine a stack of items (from bottom to top) with a cat, laptop, television, and apple. The apple is moved between the laptop and the television. Which item is on top of the stack afterwards?

The author seems also to have misinterpreted that Stable Diffusion is the same sequence-sensitive model as Transformer LLMs, which it is not. While it is generative it has minimal capacity for abstraction, since the focus would rather be minimizing the "kernel" representation of each word in the weights.

DALL-E has a bit more luck, but requires much more verbose description to get anything like a screen on top of a cat, but that's presumably more due to the bias in the data set of things being displayed on screens, or cats getting on top of things.

Something like

Hmm, I guess there could have been a mechanism by which a boot manager would, as the very first thing it does, extend a PCR with its own version number, and other later things that want to require a specific or newer version could check that PCR. Then at least old versions could be reliably distrusted without actually being revoked and thus rendered unable to boot.

> Services can often be run more efficiently in private hands

Hard disagree. Business optimized for the value it can capture in the short term. It will be more efficient at that.

Services such as electricity benefit from long-term investment, and create much hard to capture value. In theory, a government will be efficient at allocating resources for that.

We HAVE to stop thinking that business is always more efficient at everything. Business is great, I've started a few and see what they've done to lift people out of poverty-- but it is built on the back of responsible government.
As someone who doesn't know about USB-IF but has used all kinds of cheap Amazon USB-C cables: this issue is stupid and overblown.

99% of the time, all I need from the cable is <60W of power capacity. I don't need data, and I wouldn't even notice if the cable was 1Gbps or 40Gbps.

I've literally never had a problem with _that_ use case.

Even when I need the cable for data transmission, all of the ones I have are either from my phone, laptop, dock, etc., etc. and follow standards, or are from no-name Amazon brands but _still_ seem to follow the spec completely fine.

Sure there are exceptions like the Nintendo Switch, but virtually all devices at that price point can handle bad cables.

Sounds like an excellent case for nationalization to me.
Contracts are only as good as the enforcement mechanism and in this case, the fact that it’s critical infrastructure only works in their favor. Just nationalize it, pay the existing owners some “fair value” amount for their trouble and resign to fighting a WTO lawsuit.
Do you still have to pay it? If it’s a private meter my first thought is that non-payment becomes a civil matter and in that case you likely can get away without paying.

I get “civil speeding tickets” (traffic cameras) all the time in my state. I simply throw them away without repercussion because the cost of suing to collect from every individual who hasn’t paid just isn’t worth it. Not sure if it applies in this case but in my state these also cannot legally be reported to credit agencies or insurance companies.

If this is not the case and the city is criminally prosecuting people (with taxpayer resources) to enforce private debts owed to the meter company, there’s a good chance a court would find the practice to be illegal. At least I hope that’s how it would turn out…
In theory - and as has happened in history - governments can repatriate (nationalize) critical assets. So as long as a nationstate has meaningful independence, even the threat of that emergency lever can prevent the worst abuse.

If such meaningful independence doesn’t exist, it arguably doesn’t make much of a difference who’s name plate is on the ownership?
