Sorry, but there's so many things wrong with this...

- nobody cares about "unemployment" - they care about investing decades of their lives and losing their jobs and not being able to replace them quickly at the same level of income and quality of life, including a million photographers, models, makeup artists, etc. who are looking at diffusion model results and wondering who'd pay for their work next year, let alone in 10. "employment" is a made up number that could be 100Ms prospering and optimistic about the future, or 100Ms terrified of the future and millions giving up and disappearing from the employment stats: https://www.google.com/search?q=working+age+men+employment

- nobody cares about average prices by category - they care about what they pay for the goods they buy, and the baskets of goods used for these surveys are comically different from what actual consumers experience. Notably, the "TV" from 20 years ago is not the same "TV" as today, let alone cellphones or even healthcare. Also, healthcare has seen continuous improvement e.g. cancer therapies, while the TV innovations that consumers care about have sometimes zoomed forward (thin displays, larger displays, 4K, HDR) and failed to take hold (3D, long-throw projectors).

- MA is not an expert on employment and neither am I, but I'm not prognosticating.
One weird way to move fast through a crowd that I've found is to keep your hands up. Not sure why, but when I'm doing this, most of the people seem to get out of the way. Works almost every time.
Live View is well integrated with the lightweight process/actor model that is central to Erlang and Elixir, where state and asynchronous events much are easier to code and troubleshoot than other languages.

So while you can replicate Live View everywhere, it's never going to be as convenient or expressive as the real thing.

On the project I am working on I have a Live View dashboard that's getting updated in real time from distributed async events coming from any server in the cluster with less than a dozen lines of code, and using nothing more fancy than standard Phoenix libraries (Phoenix.PubSub) and BEAM primitives (pg2, nodes, mailboxes, etc.). Porting Live View to Go, Python, Rust, Javascript is the easy part. You'll still miss the BEAM dearly.
More accurately for a lot of languages you can’t make them allocation free. Rust put all of the parts of the standard library that allocate in one crate, called alloc, and that crate is optional (but included in std, so opt-out). Platforms that don’t have an allocator don’t have the alloc crate. So you are forced to select dependencies like this one that will compile without it.

Language features like pattern matching are not affected.This is about standard library features. You don’t get Vec or String without the alloc crate.
I would point to a shockingly individualistic mindset where it is unusual to see academics organize in the interest of an academic department (e.g. the kind of PR functions you would see at a national lab which might publish a magazine like Los Alamos Science) never mind the institution as a whole, workers in a field, or any other obvious interest group.
> There's a huge difference, both logically and emotionally, between misgendering someone and simply not making reference to their gender.

Referring to someone as a "they" would be considered misgendering to a lot of people. It is not "not making reference to their gender" because the vast majority of people who want to be referred to as "they" are not cisgender. Referring to someone in this way suggests that you think they are not cisgender.

> I just have not actually encountered any such person outside the class of 'argumentative people on the internet'.

The neighbor who approached me after having been referred to as "they" was not an argumentative person on the internet. She was someone (who lives in a very liberal area, BTW) who was perplexed and offended to have been referred to that way.
thanks. I was very early, but not a founder of the IPOs. If you have access to dealflow and add value (e.g. as staff, investor or adviser), then it's much easier to "pick winners" and let others take the bigger risks and enjoy the billionaire lifestyle. By valley standards, I'm a small but respected player.
I'm tempted to start taking a tablespoon or two of lemon juice in my morning orange juice - should be pleasant enough, as I like tart flavors anyway.
I always found Worf less interesting than some of the other characters from episode-to-episode, but this article shows his journey is best seen from a broader perspective.

I always enjoyed the look at the future in All Good Things where he makes the point that Riker has always known how to manipulate him via his "honour" and Riker counters that's because he believes in it.

A fascinating article; thank you.
Saw something a few days ago where somebody asked ChatGPT to write a country-western song about a truck that repossesses itself and runs away. It was actually pretty good.
I’ve had 7 careers (art teacher, financial advisor, owned an insurance brokerage, marketing director, intrapreneur, product manager, and a venture lead/interim CEO at an AI venture studio).

After my last job I wanted to quit tech. I spent 18 months trying a bunch of different things (no-code, podcasting, illustrating, creating info products and courses, E-commerce, and micro-coaching). I now do a variety of things including co-founder for hire where I not only advise but roll up my sleeves to get first customers and put together a data backed go-to-market strategy. The beauty of the co-founder for hire gig is it’s 10 hours a week. I get to focus on the things in tech that I love without the mad hours, politics, and stress.

The thing is, you can always go back to tech. Taking a mid-career gap year/sabbatical is an amazing experience. You’re sure to learn a lot about yourself. Tech isn’t going anywhere.
this is an interesting point, i.e. malloc/free is perhaps one of those things that's great for getting started, but something you replace when going to scale and production.

It's March. Did this actually open?
It would be more credible if they found only bacteria-like formations. I think that bacteria-like is almost inevitable with the right conditions, but every step after that is difficult. But it's far from settled science.

The fungus-like and lichen-like things may be some weird association of bacterias-like.

From the article:

> Scientists believe they have spotted fossilised [...], shrimp, crabs, sea spiders, scorpions and a translucent millipede in photos of the planet

These animals, ... they need a lot of steps to evolve, because they need a hard exoskeleton and a neural system, and probably a blood system and surelly oxygen to burn the food fast enough, so some other thing must have developed photosynthesis before. It's not clear that it's possible to develop muscles or neurons without mitochondria, that are also difficult because it must evolve as an isolated entity, and then the ancient cell must reorganize as a eukariota-like and absorb the mitochondria.

Take a looks at the graph at the top right of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_evolutionary_h...

Those steps are difficult. We are probably lucky. I'd expect to find only bacteria-like in most places.

Try to track which team is publishing each type of finding, and follow only the ones that publish boring stuff like bobs of putty. Just cross out the teams publishing about crabs in Mars, because that unrealistic.
Hmm, my entire education until high-school was entirely cursive. It was something of a revelation that a different method of writing existed, even though I was sort of aware that the letters in book didn’t look like the letters I wrote.
What procedure, and what was a mistake about it? I've had to have a 5mm stone removed endoscopically, and that didn't seem to do me any harm, although I was anesthetized for the procedure - if that's the difference, then say no more, as I'm sure it would have been fairly agonizing if I'd been aware of what was going on at the time.
Indeed it was. Albeit it was a moot robbery as you say, given that every note taken was known to the bank, and the whole class was obsoleted within weeks
Choosing Your Problems
One of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced. I let myself get way too dehydrated while exercising on a very hot summer day, which brought it about (though I was obviously susceptible to them). I started hydrating a lot more and taking
potassium supplements and luckily haven’t had them since. Thankfully I went to a great hospital, and the staff there knew how painful the condition is, so there was only around 15 minutes between when I arrived at the ER and when I had an IV of morphine in my arm.
I thought this was common knowledge. If you google "does everyone dream" you will see about a million articles that say some variation of "we all dream every night but don't remember most of them". It's so common it's like one of those aphorisms or old wives tales you just hear everywhere.
You do realize people can have sex, procreate and raise families without marriage, right? "Sexual liberation" doesn't negate sex, it only negates the proscription of involuntary sex and gender roles through patriarchy.

Also:

>All of them.

All of whom? Surely you can give us specific examples. Your certainty must based on solid archaeological and anthropological evidence, right?
I occasionally open tmux on a remote machine from within a local tmux.

Using c-bb to get to the nested one doesn't seem that bad to me as long as it's only 2-deep.

But why not just change the escape key on each machine's .tmux.conf?
You have to know the words well enough that you don't need to listen and just read directly.

The best blurb I ever read was:

Unless your startup was profitable before you sold it, it could just as well be luck and connections and not skill. It takes a lot more skill to run a “profitable” business.

I wander how many of those “successful” startups will be successful when they can’t spend years living off of VC funding?

HN may take issue with investors, whether large corporations or small mom & pop investors, buying up single-family homes (SFHs) for a few reasons.

investors have the financial resources to buy up properties in bulk and pay cash, which can drive up prices in already expensive housing markets. This can lead to a decrease in affordable rental properties and can make it more challenging for first-time homebuyers to enter the market.

some investors may use SFHs as short-term rental properties, such as Airbnb, which can disrupt the long-term rental market and further exacerbate the affordable housing crisis.

there is a concern that some investors may not have the resources to maintain their properties properly, leading to the deterioration of the homes and the neighborhoods they are in. This can lead to blight and a decrease in property values, which can negatively impact the entire community.

While it is true that interest rates play a significant role in the housing market, investors leveraging properties and investing in short-term rentals can lead to market distortions that exacerbate the housing affordability crisis.

it's not necessarily small mom & pop investors that HN takes issue with, but rather the larger trend of investors buying up SFHs without proper consideration for the broader impact on the community and the housing market.
I read stories like this, and all I can think is - how can I try some of this stuff? If it is safe, well-tolerated, and improves muscle building/repair, I would happily enjoy easier muscle improvement without feeling any Puritanical misgivings. They can even pre-abolish me from all professional sports for life.

Didn’t most of those terms change because they evolved into common insults? Disabled is not used as a common insult as far as I know. This case feels more like a dictate from “well meaning” groups vs a reaction to evolving use of language.
I spent hours playing the Windows mobile HMM on my old HTC Apache. I find it crazy that no one has green lit an iOS remake of the series.
How'd you get ChatGPT to respond to that? Mine refuses:

Are you really questioning whether the price of disease care or university in the United States has risen higher than overall inflation rate?
Even if there was a patent nightmare at some point, like you said the hardware ceased to be manufactured 30 years ago. I doubt AmigaOS is still covered under any patents.
I don't know. I remember going into a bookshop somewhere in Australia and most of the books were shrink-wrapped. I saw a few I was interested in, so I wrote the titles down for later investigation.

If I had been able to read a couple of sample pages, as I often do prior to buying a book, I would likely have bought some.
As a native Chinese speaker, I know that many older and less educated people in China do write with errors or using some non-canonical simplified characters, but usually it's not a problem for us. In most cases, the meaning of the word with the character missing or corrupted can be deduced from the context.

For example, it's common to see people in mainland China that cannot write 餐 (can1, meal) correctly, but I never experienced any issue with that in real life.

In addition, I read and write simplified Chinese natively, but I can read traditional Chinese with little difficulty, and even a little bit of Japanese with high kanji density. The characters have evolved significantly, but the remaining similarity is still enough for me to parse the text.

A second screen is a nice asset in a work from home with lots of video calls with screen sharing. I like having a screen where I can do things in the background while following what is presented in the call. When I present I like choosing a separate screen where I'll move windows in and out depending on what I want to show. People in my call don't have to see my other windows/notifications/mails/whatever when I switch from one app window to another. And it is way easier to have a dedicated screen than switching (or forgetting to switxh) the shared window.

Your physics friend might be right that there's some ultrasonic amplification going on. But a physics guy should be able to rig up some equipment to actually measure and prove that hypothesis. I would :) But I don't have either model.

I'm sorry for your problems by the way :(
Even the American Enterprise Institute, where he's getting the chart from, frames it more in terms of globalization, competition, and of course given the source, regulation. Their preferred talking points on it are a little dubious as well: e.g., cars are subject to substantial regulation on all sorts of axes and yet are flat and therefore "blue" on the chart, while college textbooks aren't really meaningfully regulated at all and are one of the worst categories. (AEI's post also without irony points to the influence of open and free textbooks as something sure to bring down prices in the future, brought to you thanks to the free market).

Anyway, regardless of your view on AEI's gloss on those numbers, it's much more reasonable than Andreesen's claim that "technology is banned" in all the red sectors.
right, also we don't like hearing stories about all the entrepreneurs who failed to find success, and slipped into impoverished obscurity. How many kids are sitting in the back seat of the car, lamenting "I could have been a contender" you know? You don't hang out with the ones who failed to keep their heads above water, because you're afraid they're going to drown you too.
Okay, it's true. People can make choices that close doors for them. That part is true.
I got in the habit of using %T for Time (of day), as a shorthand for %H:%M:%S, but I can't recall how portable that is.

What an incredibly, idiotically reductionist interpretation of cherry-picked data this is. First of all, he selected a fairly random, non-representative set of goods and services. I can immediately think of a glaringly obvious counter-example that his dataset excludes: energy. It's one of the most highly regulated industries in the US and yet energy inflation has been barely positive over the last 20 years (https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/energy-inflation), completely contradicting Andreesen's hypothesis. So basically all of his conclusions are unsubstantiated and likely false on that basis alone. But there's more stupidity here.

He also does not define "heavily regulated" or how one can measure the level of regulation applicable to a given good or service in a way that allows for apples-to-apples comparisons to other goods and services. But even just taking a colloquial understanding of what the term means, car manufacturing is incredibly highly regulated. Perhaps not so much as medical services, but certainly far more than household furnishings or clothing. And yet the inflation curves for those goods are nearly identical to the one for new cars. If regulation is the sole explanation for the differing inflation trajectories between each of these goods and services, then why is such a highly regulated good performing identically to substantially less regulated goods?

There are many more flaws in his thinking but I won't bother digging into it because this is a childishly stupid article that would never have made it to the front page of HN if it weren't written by an especially wealthy idiot.
I find the quality of my non-cursive writing increases by leaps and bounds if I can just manage to make myself slow down enough.
The chance of the average CS grad - well at least until this year - of being able to “grind leetcode and working for a FAANG” (c) r/cscareerquestions and ending up with over 1 million dollars of before tax “profits” in four years is much greater than your average “startup founder” that’s not even counting the risk premium.

And yes I’m far away from a new college grad.
The problem is much deeper unfortunately.

If they banned IMSI catchers it just makes the job marginally harder. When I mean marginally I truly mean MARGINALLY. Right now a police officer can fire up some software, draw a selector box around a region, and pull everyone who was in that region inside some timeframe. They don't need an IMSI catcher for that. Cell phone data from advertisers is often enough. It's real minority report pre-crime level shit. This of course all ignoring the fact that IMSI leaking happens with EM emissions which can be argued are incidentally picked up anyway and therefore information that doesnt require a warrant. Like a license plate for your car.

We need much, much stronger privacy laws. But first we need to get people into congress that actually care.
I had to wait 10s for that list to load :/
When my kids were young, both my wife and I taught them cursive. When the kids each got into school, despite their pretty good or excellent penmanships, they were all told by teachers not to use cursive.

The teachers each said they were unable to read cursive.
I'm talking about finding your first long-term therapist, to try out several.

Not about jumping therapists every three or six months.

Also, people who can't face the hard issues generally just quit therapy altogether. They don't usually jump therapists. Switching therapists really is usually because it's not working, and more of the same therapist isn't going to help.
It's also classic game programming method.

Just start a new process between every room, level, and so on. Let the OS do the memory management.
Two fun facts about kidney stones:

1) Roller coasters help dislodge and pass kidney stones because of their high-intensity jerky motions.

2) Although calcium supplements increase the risk of kidney stones, dietary calcium seems to reduce it.
Look no further than the US constitution, particularly its second amendment, to see how much a single punctuation mark can matter.

Also sentences like: "the Google party featured two strippers, Larry and Sergei." Are the founders of Google the two aforementioned strippers or VIP guests?
That the term is probably more than 30 years old, and probably unheard of nowadays. Googling for it, in fact, yields more stuff in English than in Japanese.

Blah blah blah government law and regulations bad give back my laissez faire slaves - this is what I hear.

Some industries are more regulated than others - a simple fact. What are the reasons behind these regulations?

To discuss which of these reasons no longer hold might be a better argument. But no, the writer would rather cry 'muh entry barrier communists gov' on the webs. What is the purpose here, to go viral or actually improve the world we live on?

For the case in point: innovation historically changes which professions are required for production of value. In the 19th century, if you were skilled in iron smelting and forging you would put food on your families table. Nowadays, I'd advise against running a coal furnace in your apartment kitchen.

The fear of ai caused unemployment is very real for people who are too old to learn and apply an entire new skillset. If it's hard to understand this, put yourself in the shoes of a newspaper journalist. He or she might have worked 15 years at the news, and he listen to sales people commenting that sales are dropping like a cannonball. Anxiety and fear overload. Maybe he gets a new job at the newer and hotter online webpage that seems to be hiring good writers. Maybe not.
