People in developed world (and most of all males) not getting laid, marrying, having sons, is a big problem.

But I see as much bad as a problem the abundance of fearmongering news like that on root, which creates big awe for paranoia, which (in this case because these are heterosexual matters) polarizes discussion, which motivates people like you and archagon to decree that blaming will solve anything. Luckily for my mild contempt of your (and archagon's, and whoever else's in this milieu) comment, a generation of men and women having a million other (in their head) "more important things to do" than fail indefinitely at mating, getting old and die childless and probably alone shall be a problem your sons are going to inherit.
Please watch Beth's video, it's very good.

Most governments aren't super focused on addressing poverty, in part because some don't consider it fair to directly lift people out of poverty, there is a taboo against giving, or because it's not in the common conscience that we should eradicate poverty as soon as we can. Some countries for example in Western Europe or elsewhere do have almost eliminated poverty, but it still persists in often much more grave conditions elsewhere.

The good news is there are several organizations (I give to GiveDirectly, but there are probably others) that track the most poor and needy people worldwide and you can just give them money to get out of poverty. There are many other effective interventions that address poverty, and Effective Altruism[2] is one of the movements looking at attacking them directly (although I'm not a fundamental opponent to governments doing so as well; the problem is that governments act very locally and at least in the west are more focused on education, infrastructure, etc. than charity)

Savings account interest not increasing with rate hikes
This is one reason Eng leaders like flat rate cost infra. You tell your team I’ve allocated N$ of compute for analytics. And if there’s slowdowns from too much traffic the team will reschedule their work around it.

Where-as BQ and its “infinite” scale encourages more and more work. Up until the bill far outweighs the benefit it brought the organization.

Sure you can design around this. But it’s great things like BQ flat rate exist as a middle ground.
I would recommend not to only focus on the things that don't change, but look at how things that do change impact the things that don't.

For example, very few customers have "new" problems. The problems of society have existed for decades or centuries.

Almost everything maps back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, therefore, when looking at the new, it should be viewed in the impact it has on things that don't change.

The author's example of the internet being a Black Swan, I believe, is wrong. Sci-Fi had been writing about such a network for over a century. The thing that didn't change was our desire for knowledge. The internet was the new library initially, and the internet was able to expand into other needs that didn't change.

I feel like it is better to take both a macro view and a micro view.

We work in the neurotech and sleeptech space. From a macro perspective, sleep, and the health impacts have not changed, so we focus on solving that problem. The micro-details is that we now have the technology to serve that need, that is something that does change, and will continue to change.
Polars is a dataframe library, no? That's a quite different use-case.
Have you found that book to be helpful in actually cultivating creativity? I started reading it a week back because I saw it's been massively popular and wondered if it's actually going to be of much help to most of the readers. Perhaps it gets much better after the first short bit I read.

I, in generally, (absent some exceptions like privacy coins) agree with you.

But the assertion wasn't that crypto is private, it's that the crypto threads evoke anti-privacy viewpoints like the need for KYC. KYC is inherently anti-private, it's a warrantless compelled search by the government of your papers for identity. My perception at least is different attitudes on average on those threads, like people are more accepting that privacy needs to be invaded to prevent criminals.
In the Coast Guard and Navy it doesn't matter if the Captain didn't know what was going on, its their job to know what was going on and they're always the ones held responsible one way or another.
I think the key takeaway here is how trivially easy it is to provide GPT with an API that it can use. Having it recursively call itself like in this example is interesting but you could also have it act as a coordinator of multiple GPT models, the markup language with specified roles would make it easier to keep track of the flow of information coming back. If I wasn't already working on another project using GPT I'd start exploring this.

You can use whatever branch name you want.

I think that it is probably not necessary or helpful to rename branches in existing repositories, but you can do that if it is helpful for what you are doing.

If you upload a repository to GitHub, you can use whatever default branch name it already has with no problem. I know because I did upload one that uses "trunk" as the default branch name, and it did not cause any problem. (I used "trunk" as the default branch name because it is a mirror of a fossil repository which uses "trunk" as the default branch name.)

(And, someone does get a minor benefit to call it "main"; it is two letters shorter than "master". Of course, that is minor, but it isn't quite nothing.)

Doesn't seem contradictory to me tbh. If the person in Spain descended from someone who left Sub-Saharan Africa 50k years earlier, they wouldn't necessarily be closely related to a genetically distinct population in North Africa (especially since IIRC there's evidence of people from Eurasia migrating to North Africa, it wasn't a one-way exodus where people left Africa and only expanded outward)

Ask HN: What is the best investment you've ever made?
NPR’s target (or if not their target, the effective target based on their content) is an early/mid gen x or baby boomer centrist/center-left neoliberal democrat who also listens to FM radio. It’s a pretty specific audience. Additionally, they depend on a network of local FM broadcasters paying dues and content fees.

While lots of people still listen to FM radio, that number falls every year, particularly for younger people. Seems like a grim long-term situation for them.
ChatGPT can pretty easily generate documentation from code though :p

The last time I took a casual glance at studied, it seemed that vitamin D deficiency was correlated with multiple health conditions; however, vitamin D supplementation had not clearly prevented or reversed those conditions. That is, this isn't like scurvy.

A common hypothesis was that vitamin D status was a proxy for sun exposure and not a complete explanation for those health problems.
I mean the lack of escrow isn't the bigger problem here - governments take assets (e.g. taxes) all the time with the threat of literally murdering you if you try to stop them. They will get their money from the company one way or another. The problem is actual accountability and real actions.

Echoing other comments here, I use One Medical and am an extremely happy customer — I pay the yearly subscription out of pocket. Online scheduling + video calls at any time with their staff make it well worth it, and they have offices in many cities and states so I've even seen doctors and gotten bloodwork + vaccinations done while traveling (domestically in the US). My experience with their doctors has generally been top notch as well, including one doctor visually and immediately diagnosing a family hereditary condition that had taken my sister years to get diagnosed through other doctors. And since they have so many offices, I can pretty much always get a next-day appointment in the Bay Area. I've never had to wait a memorable amount of time once I show up, and they can do a lot of labwork immediately onsite if you need or want it without additional scheduling or needing a return trip.

I've traveled and lived abroad, and IMO One Medical clears even the relatively high European-style medical system quality bar.

Happy for them that they got acquired by Amazon, since the scheduling + online stuff is a big part of what makes One Medical great and Amazon is quite good at that.
Companies 10% as big as Amazon probably shouldn't generally be allowed to buy other companies.
I used it, but will transition away. They kept ratcheting down the time a doctor can see with the patient and increasingly make each visit "special" so they can charge $250 for a 25 minute session.

I already didn't like it, I like it even less now.
> The land used for the mining isn't land that we're just getting back--given the costs of making it useful again for anything else, space used for a lithium mine is in almost all cases essentially going to be gone for good. This is of course true for other mines as well, but your notion that lithium is an exception is a curious one.

Solar panels aren't made of lithium.

> Nuclear reactors require relatively small inputs of these metals compared to the metals used in solar panels, and the huge capital invested in making solar panels less resource-intensive could also be applied to nuclear, if we wanted to do so.

[Citation needed] Solar panels don't need tonnes of indium per GW or gadoliunium or an ongoing 100kg of copper per MW per year. Modern panels on a modern racking system have a higher capacity weighted specific power than an EPR and a lower metal fraction. The cells (which are still over 90% silicon) are only about 2% of the total mass of a module and weigh less than the raw uranium for an equal energy output, let alone the rest of the reactor and supply chain.

That last is just more lies. All of the solar panels ever produced could fit in the tailings pit of Husab dug out for a single year of operation. Half of the US dragging their feet doesn't discount the fact that most new PV in the civilized world is recyclable and mandatory to do so.

Do you have anything honest to say or just the same slimy lies?

It helps that the author already had 70k followers to get momentum on a post. The average user wouldn't have gone viral with those same tweets.
EXACT same situation. I’ll never forget the time I felt a murmur and several seconds later I was panicking. This was before I was diagnosed so I legitimately thought I was having a heart attack. I wasn’t even worried about the murmur, in between those seconds I was thinking “huh, that was weird.” And then wam, slammed with adrenaline. I had never even had panic attacks before…

I went to the doc, and he recognized the symptoms as a panic attack. I told the doc “no, you’re not listening. I have zero anxiety in my life right now.” Several dozen attacks later and a doctor that didn’t try to gaslight me into having an anxiety disorder, we found the heart problem.

Fun times.
Thanks!

They are I would not have expected the DB docs to go into that level of conceptual detail
This reminds me of a scene in my favorite movie, "The Big lebowski". IIRC, the dude is complaining about a 'chinaman' peeing on his rug. Walter goes on one of his rants and ends with "By the way, Asian-American is the preferred term". It always struck me as curious that the peeing guy, that Walter is presumably advocating for wasn't even present in the scene.
All this hullabaloo and most times, the affected person isn't even there. Indeed, pronouns are instructions for how people must refer to you when you are not present!

> No it’s not, its the literally the name the government gave those plans.

Please re-read the article and my comment. Neither said anything about who named these plans. The fact is that the name itself is misleading people.

Also, the article gives a few examples how the private insurance companies _tricks_ people to think that MA plans are always better. I worked at one of these big insurance companies, and we implemented products and worded things in a way to ensure that we increase the growth of the Medicare Advantage plans. At the time, I genuinely thought the Medicare Advantage plans were always better but that is not the case. It's actually very difficult to choose which one would be better and the fact that it's really hard to change exacerbates the situation.

You don't have to agree with me. You are one of better people who can understand these plans better. Consider people with less education on this subject and have some empathy. You might think this differently.

> Unless component makers want to get absolutely fleeced by Amazon undercutting it with knock-offs, they need to offer customers an alternative that Amazon can't undercut.

How is a small company supposed to able to sell at a comparable price to Amazon? Or reliably develop uncopyable tech advantages for products that are already commodities?

1. Amazon can source parts and manufacturing services in larger scales, at better prices.

2. Amazon doesn't lose margin to advertising, marketing or sales partners.

3. Amazon can give its products greater visibility than even the highest paying advertiser on their site.

4. Amazon will get customers at greater scale, amortizing fixed costs like design and other overhead across more sales.

5. Amazon can scale production up and down to avoid waste, given their bird's eye view of real time demand.

6. If Amazon wanted to, it could even scale sales up and down so that they only use free slack in its warehouses and logistic systems, essentially eliminating those costs for itself.

There is a reason Amazon is an antitrust target. Their vertical integration tilts everything their way decisively for anything they can decently copy.
I'm familiar with discovery. Generally speaking, it won't work on hosting companies with headquarters outside the US. (American-style civil discovery is frowned-upon in most other nations.) It might not work on companies hosted in other states, for it should be possible to challenge any out-of-state subpoena in local courts. In most situations, this would likely be unsuccessful and not worth attempting, but in this sort of situation, I reckon it might work... for, ultimately, the same reason some states have begun to prohibit out-of-state discovery in abortion-related cases.
That's consistent, but what it's consistent with is monopolies.
I’ve recently thought about iron man movies, where tony stark actually designs stuffs by simply talking to jarvis. I’ve always thought « if only i could have those kind of tools available, i would too be able to design crazy stuffs ».

We didn’t think « damn, tony stark didn’t have to write a line of code, he got rendered obsolete by this damn AI ». That’s how i choose to think about AI tools for developers from now on.
Yeah, I think this is the only one that works. Most of my friends just make new accounts. Customer service basically stonewalls you unless you can prove you exist, which is probably only done by complaining on HN or in person.

I can think of painful examples in REST in my life where I had an endpoint that was being used for something new, and now I had to join with some new data model to solve the new problem which made the old use sub-optimal (or vice-versa).

But when that happened, what it really told me was that it was time to introduce a new endpoint and refactor the code to adapt to the change in use case. Painful? Sure. But so are the downstream consequences of converting everything in your system to an arbitrary query executor.
Fun! Whenever someone asks me which book of his I like best, the answer always seems to be, whichever one I just re-read last. (Well, except for Dodo.)

And I am LGBTQ+ so I get it, I really do. It’s still a little intimidating keeping up with an ever changing landscape of shibboleths. And you can never assume people’s pure intentions either. Being part of a minority group does not mean you can’t play politics. I have absolutely watched these things weaponized in HR complaints and people being branded as biased. We don’t have a culture of teaching and forgiveness but of shaming and reprimand.

I prefer jail time for companies. The entire operation has to shut down for a set period of time. No money going in or out. No one can work. No one can open their laptop. No one can go in the office. No one can discuss business. No new contracts signed.

If corporations have the same rights as humans, make them suffer the same consequences.
I personally just felt a little sadder and lower energy in my first winter in a gloomy climate. The vitamin D just made me slightly more chipper and energetic.

I didn’t do a blood test pre vitamin D but tested recently and my levels look good, so my doc said to just keep on it.

Wouldn’t say the difference is transformative but it’s helpful.

I think I have like $15 of USDT on an exchange that's getting ready to kick Americans off. It's nice to hold when you don't want to deal with volatility. That's assuming you trust it won't go to zero. Also there are stable coin pools. I have some money in a pool of 2 different stable coins and I get paid out in the exchange token.
What exactly about "big" is it that makes you say this? Is it the amount of money they can throw around? Is it the ability to integrate these bought companies in with the rest of their companies? Is it that there aren't enough people at the top of the company?
I was assuming pricing for gold level plans (health plan covers 80% of costs).

https://www.nj.gov/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcrates20...

See Omnia BCBS Gold at $731 per month for age 21 to 24. Omnia BCBS Silver HSA would be $423 per month.

Silver plans cover 70% of expected costs, but at age 64, I assume most would want the lower deductible and oop max of a gold plan. Even the insurance company is calculating it needs to charge $300 more per month for that extra 10% of expected healthcare costs they would have to pick up with a gold plan versus a silver.

As another datapoint, my family of four gold HSA BCBS plan is running around $33k per year in premiums for 2 adults in their 30s and 2 toddlers.
That’s a legal unknown. And it’s also a technical unknown how you would even determine it was descended from the same model in a way that would hold up in court.
Well, you know, even thirty years of experience as the custodians of one of the most successful programming languages is no guarantee of success with every feature, but that's why we have the preview process now that lets us figure out what problems people actually encounter -- which may well be different from the problems they, or we, think they would encounter -- before finalising the feature.

Just remember that you can't pass a string to an API that doesn't take strings, and even with existing APIs, methods that take strings can be deprecated to cause compiler warnings. So sometimes there are stronger ways than just documentation to discourage dangerous code.

The news 8 months ago was that it was agreed that this acquisition would happen, subject to the usual approvals and closing conditions. The news in late February was that the acquisition had finally been completed. Those two stories are not the same but of news.
