> more memory use for very large files (the page tables are not free),

They're... kinda free (in terms of capacity). A PTE or PDE is 64 bits per page. Even with 4kB pages, this is 8/4096 = 0.2% overhead. Churning the page tables and TLB as you walk the file is expensive, or at least historically was expensive (used to be that removing an entry required flushing the entire TLB; I don't think that's true anymore).

If you can use MAP_HUGE_2MB, this drops off to 0.00038% and the TLB impact goes way down.

Yeah, this aspect is really significant. Thanks for mentioning it.
I think a more apt comparison would be monthly mortgage + interest payment divided by price per square ft over time. I suspect it just barely tracks inflation.

Houses have gotten bigger and interest rates have fallen since then.
You sell your house and go back to renting or get a reverse mortgage.

Then you joined big tech at the peak of the pandemic boom, when it was completely fair game to for recruiters to be poaching even foreigners due to the outsized growth outlooks. You should be aware that the economic environment has basically taken a 180 since then, and your experience might be very different from someone joining the workforce today with no work experience.

To counter the "cram LC" thing, the issue is that there are plenty of new grads doing exactly that who don't even get past ATS screening. You just don't hear about it much because places like cscq are echo chambers w/ high degrees of survivorship bias and there's qualitative levels of difference to "cramming leetcode" that can't really be captured in online discussions.

Ultimately the generalization seems to be "don't pigeonhole yourself, set yourself apart in some way", which is, IMHO, not exactly a super insightful revelation. That has always been the "smart" way to play the game.
That's commendable. It's "simple" as in not complicated and easy to understand. It's "difficult" as in it requires an incredible amount of discipline, and potentially time, compared to the alternative.

The mortage payment isn't less than rent, at least for me. IF I got a "3.5% FHA loan" it'd be.. more. I don't know how to check how much mortage insurance would add at the moment.

Interesting to me that when Twitter was ascendant the same predictions of doom were not made so frequently when the fail whale was a regular occurrence.

It's possible Twitter didn't need to be spending all the money they were to be maintaining five nines or whatever, given the shift in product focus (humans and not a general/universal message bus - bots can't @-mention anymore, etc).

Given that they are unprofitable, if I were a shareholder I would be upset if I did not see experiments being run to see how much cost can be cut and where.

> a walkable neighborhood (which you likely need when you retire)

Really don't agree with this -- retiree doesn't mean "decrepit". You're still very capable of driving. My own parents recently retired to a rural area in the US, in a neighborhood with other retirees, where they're a 5 minute drive from the nearest grocery store and a 30 minute drive from the nearest "city" of ~20k people.

It's very walkable in the sense that there are sidewalks and parks, but not in the sense of living in a downtown core with public transit access to essential services.
I do disagree. I am picturing assembly written assembly engines which are should become quite relevant if RISC-V is a success.
What taxes are you talking about? If you're talking about property taxes then you just created a giant hole in every local government's budget. If you're talking about taxes on profits after you sell then that's basically how it works already.

And no, that would not fall under Georgism.
This is a negative way to look at China's history.

As a Chinese-American, whose family and friends all profited greatly from China's rise, I do wonder, how much of that profit was just being lucky enough to support the "winning team," and how much blood was shed on the other side.

I guess the only true mindset is a neutral one.
It was presented in a confusing way, but it is accurate. Rent tends to move with housing prices. If the price of housing goes up, rent also goes up, and vice versa.

In scenario 1, buying cost $1.1 million today and saved $600k, meaning that renting cost $1.7 million.

In scenario 2 the house cost more and renting cost left making them about equal. We aren't given either number.

In scenario 3 the house cost $1.7 million and renting cost $1.3 million.

So you see that more houses = cheaper houses and cheaper rent. Fewer houses = expensive houses and expensive rent. Building housing is a tradeoff between wealth for homeowners and affordability for everyone else. For decades we've chosen wealth for homeowners and this is visible in everything from expensive houses to high rents to a huge homeless problem.

There's lots of additives in processed food, because the food processing machines require them. I guess a lot of food processing innovation is about finding new additives that makes the food sludge go through the machines a bit faster, or makes the machines clog less or require less cleaning and downtime. The food itself doesn't require those additives, and probably makes it worse in many ways.

There might be a way to prepare food without additives at scale. Basically, prepare food traditionally like a human cook but use robotics. Pick and place in parallel instead of pushing food through pipes. Not sure if viable, but I'd be more willing to eat such food even if it'd be more expensive.

> especially the 20% needed so as to not need to get mortgage insurance

The mortgage insurance isn't nothing, but it's not a big enough cost to warrant waiting until you have 20% down if that's still a long way off. You can also very easily remove the mortgage insurance once you get to 20% equity, so it's not like it sticks around throughout the entire mortgage if you can't scrape enough together at the beginning.
I use a script that identifies modified files in my working copies, runs pyflakes on them, and after that pylint -E.

By the time pylint finishes, I'll have already fixed most of the low-hanging fruit that pyflakes found, and then I look through the pylint messages to see if there's anything additional.

There's very little waiting for pylint that way.
> the Pacific near Japan would be entirely devoid of life.

I can't see why. Sealife does not work like that.

Ecosystems "collapse" only to rebuild in a different direction. All those cods vanished are now lobsters. To remove all the life in the ocean we would need a really extreme event. Not even an atomic bomb could do it in Bikini Atoll

And we need to stop lying to ourselves pretending that we have enough data about the Oceans. Some very serious troubles in the ecosystems can be spotted only by an expert, after a lot of hard work, and their effects will happen later and in a different continent.

What I can see is a list, that is getting longer and longer each year, about massive die-offs in the Pacific. Sometimes is El Niño, other is "the bird flu" or the "yellow flubmarine". Who knows? The fact is that --nobody knows-- exactly why this famished dolphins showing the ribs decided to strand here to die, and most of the corpses will be too decomposed after floating for three weeks before arriving to the coast.
Ae you familiar with "thought experiments"?
The article might be based on the US market, but actually it has some fallacies, as seen in European cities:

- house prices go really up in in-demand cities (Lisbon, Berlin, Milan among others)

- rents do go up as well, you don't have fixed rent for 30 years, but, instead, you get an increase of 1.5-3% every year (so is seen in Berlin), sometimes you get contracts where rent is adjusted based on inflation as well

- you can still buy an house, use and enjoy it and decide to sell it when you want to move somewhere else. You don't loose all the money (if you are lucky, you might earn actually ). With rent, all the money paid is lost forever.
But just like at state parks, tread lightly.

I've gotten in trouble before while exploring and then being accused of putting my nose where it shouldn't be. It can look like you're wasting your time looking for distractions, or trying to dig up dirt. Not everyone in all parts of your company is going to like you poking around. You also risk picking up new responsibilities if people catch wind that you might be offering help. This can be the start to a promotion and also a good way to just make your days longer for no additional compensation. Not all managers will respond to the leverage of cross department work you took on yourself, though they probably should.

That said, if you do it well, which is an art of it's own. I agree, the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
also, economics isn't a hard science.

We as a society can define how our economy looks like, it is not some hard defined concept like the speed of light or the very basic principles of mathematics.

Economics is a soft science, and we should treat it is suchs.

The raw numbers don't say much, expect the result of how we have shaped our economy.
There is very little preventing us from changing the way the housing market is structured in a real, hard fact kind of sense.

You might need to define a “bad” wage. According to BLS, the median wage for a plumber is slightly above the median wage in the US as a whole.

I do think some of the inflated values of some jobs is they are somewhat opaque, while the stuff of jobs like plumbing is easier to at least conceptualize, even if the work itself still requires skill and care. It’s easier for a BS job to inflate its importance if people don’t know exactly how it works.

Google Identity Services API Post to Callback with Origin: Null
Beyond just that, the ability for passengers to "route" themselves (Take airplane from CityA -> CityB, then rail from CityB -> CityC, then bus from CityC to CityD... and back) is the bigger, more important effect of the CargoDist feature.

That means you can form "Hub and Spokes" for passenger traffic, and the individual passengers are smart enough to figure out how to route themselves to their ultimate destinations.

------------

Its the most "realistic feeling" traffic mod I've found of any of these games, honestly. Even Cities Skylines seems rather basic in comparison.

-----------

I play on Passengers/Mail as CargoDist, and then all other traffic (Coal, Wood, Cargo, Oil, etc. etc.) as default / original rules.

I also set the "symmetry" of CargoDist to 80%. That is, 20% of traffic is one-way, which seems to be correct in my opinion? I think it defaults to 100%, but it doesn't make sense for _ALL_ traffic to be bidirectional (ie: for all agents to make a return trip each time).

EDIT: I do think that a "big mod" to OpenTTD under a new name would be beneficial to the project. Something that redefines OpenTTD's sizes (each square is supposed to be a square km, but it doesn't "feel" like it. Roads aren't a square km wide after all...). I think that if each square were 10m x 10m nominal, and then for all other parts of the game to be redesigned off of that (scaling up docks, rail depos, cities, etc. etc. as appropriate to this new size), would be really all that OpenTTD needs. Plus CargoDist Passengers/Mail by default.

Are you worried about your infosec with ChatGPT, or other AI apps?
TLDR:

1. Are you worried about sensitive or restricted data making it to AI providers from employee errors or integration mistakes?

2. If so, how are you stopping sensitive data from reaching your AI providers?

We’ve heard concerns at two levels of seriousness:

1. Legally controlled data:

- PHI (i.e. health information), SSNs, anything Attorney Client privileged, etc. Here, no matter how good the MSA you have in place is or how reputable the AI provider, you legally cannot share that data.

2. Sensitive/Restricted Internal data:

- Strategic planning documents, financials, customer records, trade secrets, meeting transcripts for sensitive meetings e.t.c. Here, with the right agreements in place with the provider, it’s probably ok to share, but only if all usage is going through a centralized account with firm agreements in place, and even then, you want to be careful.

Now it’s easy to have a rule that says “Don’t put this into AI”, but with employees everywhere using AI for things like meeting notes summarization, a user can just paste an hour long meeting transcript, not realize it has sensitive data in, and then worst case scenario when the provider retrains their model, it puts that information in the hands of other customers/users.

If you have any legally controlled data, or your employees use tools like Chat GPT on personal accounts that haven’t opted out of model training, this seems to be a serious risk.

For example: one of our prospects was using Vowel.com, whose terms of service state they can train models on top of your meeting recordings, with practically 0 restrictions. This could easily end up creating ‘completions’ that regurgitated customer names, strategies, even financials to other companies. Vowel don’t have to be malicious to do this - at scaled usage of AI across many vendors: we think this is inevitable. That’s why security conscious companies like [REDACTED] turned off Chat GPT today.

Curious how HN is thinking about maintaining infosec in the new scary world of AI!?

> there's definitely some value in having the tooling be explorable and comprehensible to the line programmers.

I think part of the reason Rust has been so popular in this niche is that it is pretty comprehensible to JavaScript/TypeScript/Python programmers. It's in any case much more approachable than C/C++ which would be the other alternative. The Rust build system also helps a lot too.

(obviously performance is the main driver)

Have you tried buying a "starter house" around Western MA recently? Builder specials start around 200 kUSD, something that is actually move-in ready is at least 50 kUSD more. (Yes, you can try gentrifying McKnight or Upper Hill in Springfield, MA if you want to pay less, lovely Victorians, free bullet holes from the regular shootings included. You go first!)

The advice is completely out of touch because there is a generic undersupply of housing in the US, especially of entry-level housing in areas where the jobs are. What starter houses exist have reached the end of their serviceable lifespan. My starter house in the Midwest (affordable because construction is happening around town, would have preferred staying in MA) has a roof issue and in the medium term 80 feet of sewage pipe will have to be replaced. I was discussing these issues with a builder, and at some point it stops being economical. But meanwhile you need a roof over the head, especially when you own a large dog.

I'm actually angry at the unserviceable advice from people. Please field-test first before opening mouth.
