I don't think that is true at all. A good investment can be one that tracks inflation and simply pays out the labor and capital you put into it.

Owning should be cheaper than renting in the long run for the same reason it is cheaper to cook at home than eating out.

Savings by owning should be commensurate with the risk taken, cost of upkeep, and time value of money.
It is strange that it is easier than ever to move and stay connected yet most people don't.

If you set up your device to spin up a new IPv6 address every hour (or even every minute), how will they track you using IPs?

Freshly baked bread can be hard to obtain in many parts of the US. For me if I wanted fresh baked bread every day and not make it myself, I'd be looking at like 40-60 minutes of extra time per day if I drive there every day. The closest grocery store to me is 1.5 miles away up an extremely steep hill.

Shit, fresh vegetables can be hard to obtain in many parts of the US.

We've got ~20 million people who don't live near a grocery store with fresh food at all.
Seems to be back up now. Both logged in and logged out states are working.

This thread is just an hour old btw, not sure when the issue started.

Seems like a huge reaction from HN for an hour long downtime given that Twitter has gone down for longer in the past.
You're giving "quantum" a lot of categorical definition but "quantum" is just as much a set of tools for modeling intractably probabilistic systems as it is for objectively describing microscopic realms.

And anyhow there's _plenty_ of theoretical justification for modeling things like this with various tools from quantum theory:

oh I don't know about that... coincidentally we got an article about a recovering fish stock very recently.

https://hakaimagazine.com/features/in-cods-shadow-redfish-ri...

While people are clearly happy about the return of this fish, seems clear there's a lot of uncertainty around what to do next and whether fishing for it is a good idea.
It's encouraging they still have a support team, honestly.

Ew. "Consume Content" just sounds gross.

I agree with the thesis of the article, though.
I don't think so. An hour of downtime isn't going to kill twitter (One assumes that twitter has it together enough to pay ASAP once site goes down), and once you do it once to prove you're serious you probably never have to do it again and will get paid on time forever after.
> People should be allowed to work how they want to

I disagree. There is a race to the bottom and a tragedy of the commons. A company could easily exploit this by gamifying the work and hiring workers with addictive tendencies. Most national labor laws and labor contracts set a maximum number of daily and weekly working hours for a reason. Workplace safety is only one of those reasons.

I wish role rotation was a common thing in tech. Learning what our teammates need, what they do, and how they work makes it so much easier to work together and make each others’ lives easier. So many ideas we work on are low ROI and caused by lack of visibility outside of our little silos at the IC level.
The net performance of your system is only as fast as the slowest part.

So, you optimized your C IO loop and it's really fast when there is not much Python...but soon as you add any Python, you'll be bottlenecking in Python and all that fastness wont matter...eg if you do some ORM SQL or any other thing that's more complex than `return data`
The author makes it clear from the first paragraph that they're not trying to argue with the strong case for unsigned integers; they'd rather argue against the novice's case.

I'd say that in this contest betweeen the author and somebody described as literally not understanding the implications of what they are asking for, the author might have eked out a victory. Now they can move on to the winner's bracket and argue against an intermediate-level engineer.

Counterpoint to the carb reduction is fresh baked bread is so delicious and scaling bread recipes is easy so you end up eating twice as much bread compared to store bought.

I haven't really been able to read anything on twitter for a while now as I run noscript by default and haven't deigned to whitelist twitter.

I remain astounded by how much their product has declined (even pre-Musk acquisition) from their glory days of being so light weight that they were used to organize protests when governments would clamp down on internet access.
Uncomfortable truth is it's practically impossible to measure developer productivity vs. peers remotely.

2 days to fix a gennuine bug or 4 day weekend?

For a 300k dev with a team working on tight deadlines that's meaningful.

In person still has the same problem but it gives a quantum of more accountability like helping identify those mooning with multiple remote jobs.
I do think one of the rare things about Alice in the example at the top is that she realizes the change in her incentives in a very self-aware way.

I recall speaking to a Boomer who has owned their own home for decades, whose daughter and son-in-law were both living with her. She seemed genuinely perplexed at why it was considerably harder for her daughter to be able to afford her own place. "Everyone who wanted their home value to increase got what they wanted; housing is more expensive now because you closed the door behind you" was not the response she wanted.

I similarly recall being at a Q&A with a state politician in front of an audience of high school students. He was asked a question about affordability of higher education, and gave some self-righteous up-by-your-bootstraps answer about having waited tables to put himself through school. He didn't seem willing to grapple with the idea that if you want that to be achievable then state school tuition can't increase faster than wages for multiple decades.
I have a feeling that this isn't going to be available on the Series S (or if it is, it'll be like CP2077 on the original PS4/XB1). Oh well.
If it's the same as in the UK, Australia and NZ, then the rates are "fixed" for sub-durations within the overall length of the mortgage/home loan, and at the end of the sub-duration, you negotiate what the "fixed" rate is for the next sub-duration with the bank / mortgage lender.

So for a twenty year "fixed" mortgage, you could end up splitting that into "fixed" rate chunks of 3 years, 3 years, 5 years, 3 years, 1 year, 3 years, years, 2 years.

So the rate is "fixed" for what's often called the "fixed period" (sub-duration), giving you a bit of stability, but over the longer term of the overall mortgage, things can track interest rates more generally as you renew the rate.

Counter argument:

Law AI will be used for case defense prep, argument creation, research, analysis (essentially what law graduates and non-partner style attorneys do) as cost savings / ROI enhancement. Attorneys will have to specialize in mostly customer facing / court facing roles. This will cut the staff needed to perform those duties.

Real Law AI change will have to be consumer driven.

Medical AI.... with so much malpractice & liability, AI will reduce those risks for practicioners, increase ROI to practiciioners (less payments to insurance), and also require back office practicioners to become more customer facing. Maybe instead of 10 radiologists, you can use 1.

Medical AI will be used on low tier ailments (eg: urgent care headaches, etc) to help nurses see more cases, etc - initially replacing the low end work. Doctors can then have a more normal schedule, but feed a collective AI model to where 1 doctor can then oversee 50...200 cases. Those models will first be rolled out to developing countries until a generation of doctors in the US are dwindled except in emergency care situations.
Well, it's pretty popular in America.

Guess what, the small and lower cost place you bought 10 years ago went up in price too. So you have equity and you've been in the rising market.

100% untrue. Buying a house in the place they feel they deserve to live is. You can buy a home that is a 30m commute by train or bus to NYC for <= $400k.
Also, unless you are eating only salted, what is in the spices and how are those processed. Is there some agents or additives involved?
Our labor market is probably robust enough for the time being that the felons and immigrants will find other work.

Not sure about the natives. Their way of life was wrecked by western influence and fishing even on a modern vessel is about the closest thing they have to continuing their way of life while making some income near their home. I have no idea what they would shift to if they moved.

In any case USA's highly regulated Bering Sea fishing industry is shared with Russia. Even if we eliminated/downsized our fishing it'd have to be done in concert with Russia to get the desired outcome, otherwise we'd just be handing the lions share of our catch to Russian fisherman.

Before you go smashing things, you could do some of the basics like electing pro-housing people, show up at public hearings to say 'yes!' to housing, write letters to the editor and all that kind of thing.

It's pretty effective.
Things might have changed since then, but from what I recall while we had some options on what to pick, for example I could eliminate red meat entirely, there was no option to get meat and not get salmon. So pretty much every week at least one of the meals was salmon.

This is also, IMO, part of the problem. As you “move up” more and more undiversified wealth is tied up in your illiquid “investment” leading to overly protectionist policies.

Imagine if 70% of Americans invested their wealth in, I dunno, IBM. Don’t you think that’s going to incentivize some crony policies?

I don't see what the problem with Sabine's analysis is? I thought it was great.

Does your local government provide a breakdown of property taxes? If they do, it's well worth checking, because it can become one of those things where you don't like the total amount, but you find each element of it to be reasonable.

Just looking at my latest report on my property tax bill (which was about $3k USD for 2022):

- about 45% of the amount went to local city administration, which includes civic services like police, fire, etc.; the city had a nearly balanced budget for the year (<$1k US away from balanced)

- about 55% of the amount went to the local school board (who are directly voted on by the city's populace and can directly levy property taxes) for teachers, administrators, building maintenance, etc.; the school board did not have a balanced budget on account of bond issues for new construction in anticipation of ongoing new housing construction

- 3% went to the local library (whose board is partially appointed by the mayor and partially self-selected), which had a small budget surplus

I like to think of MBTI-style types as describing as describing the baseline at which your personality started before it was influenced by life experience such as working in sales for several years. That will have changed your personality but it doesn't affect your type.

If you expect an MBTI type to describe your personality as-is then you're going to be disappointed. This is also why the questionnaires are so inaccurate because they tend to ask about behavioural patterns which are influenced by life experience. You can get a much more accurate typing if you ask about why you act in a certain way, but that's hard (impossible) to do with a fixed set of questions.

A hypothesis I have is that it is much more difficult to keep in line with the good alignment than to do evil. In the limited context window of an LLM, one wrong move would make the model evil, no matter how many good tokens it generates.

Setting aside the difference between Human intelligence and LLM, we can tentatively attribute the mostly good human behavior to a life time of context length, within which we trained ourselves to do good, while the RLHF for a limited context length LLM lack such continuous reinforcement within a big context.

Things fail slower then faster than people expect.

Lots of people were waiting with baited breath for Twitter to fail the first week Musk bought it, but most of the failure conditions had been automated away...

Instead the reliability loss creep happened more slowly. The people that understood the edge conditions in the system were fired. Then new changes need implemented and the old, now not understood systems, were ripped out and new pieces put in. And lo and behold they have tons of failure conditions and edge cases that can knock out the system.

Even if your programming team wrote immaculate documentation on all these edge conditions, it can take an immense amount of time to both read them, and then fully understand them, and when you have a micromanager breathing down your neck for changes 10 minutes ago this is what happens.
you identify device each day, identity is X, daughter of Y on iPad. Once identified via data broker all its traffic is identifiable including torrents for example and porn websites, etc (say X goes to facebook with new address it now has real name)

Once identity is known for address X you know its traffic for the day, including past traffic for the day.

once address changes you do the whole identification again.

All these logs where address is identified goes to bucket X.

On addresses where you couldnt identify that day you put them in unknown bucket.

Once you have a profile of the network, you can do exclusion (Only 4 people in household, 3 active with known addresses, not X, one unknown address, you can assume its X)

I spent most of my career on the “enterprise dev” side of the bimodal distribution of tech compensation. I only landed on the BigTech side by doing a slight pivot (cloud consulting).

I don’t see the day coming anytime soon that the divide narrows where it does make sense to be on the “enterprise dev” side (where most developers are) over the $BigTech side.

I’m objectively good enough at all of the areas that the article lists - I have to be to succeed in true “consulting” (as opposed to staff augmentation). But that wouldn’t have mattered unless I jumped ship to the $BigTech side.

Most outside consulting companies aren’t paying their top employees what I make as a mid level employee at my current job.

I have one or two connections I could probably leverage on the enterprise dev side that would allow me to make more if I jumped ship. But that’s only because I have $BigTech experience on my resume.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Even before working at $BigTech, I could throw my resume up in the air and get a job as a developer without doing the leetCode monkey dance because I had the skills you listed and I spoke directly to CxOs and Directors at small companies based on my network.

I haven’t done a coding interview in over a decade.
Generous of you to explain.
> However much I'd like to alter my diet to be more healthy, including flavored nuts or bread as ultraprocessed means I have nearly zero chance avoiding a sizable portion of what academic scientists label as ultraprocessed.

How so? I eat organic veggies, organic meat, nothing with added sugars, from time to time I drink a glass of organic wine. It's absolutely not difficult to avoid anything "ultra-processed" (I dislike this term which is ehnancing something not strictly defined) or even store-bought "processed".

In fact, the only, in any way, "processed" food I eat are things I make myself: veggies baked with turkey, chicken and beef, blended, portioned and frozen. No preservatives other than fat and reasonably small amounts of salt (and with sodium, I also ingest potassium). Eating healthy is fairly easy (although more expensive) and avoiding shitty food is really not hard to achieve.

School districts are connected to housing. As long as schools are “locally funded”, you will always have a rush for houses in the better schools.

The problem with housing is lack of public transport as well. You could get houses farther away from the city. But the lack it public transport makes commutes terrible.

If you want a great school district things get really pricey. But if you’re single or don’t have kids I’m not sure if you want to pay the taxes.

More than anything if we need to improve housing I would focus on public transport more than anything else.
this is true, but it doesn't make it right.

Basically correct - fixed is fixed over the 5 years, variable changes within those 5 years.
Insignificant penalty?! Maybe if all you think about is your monthly payment and not the total payment amount over time.

You should check the amortization schedule of a typical 30 year fixed rate loan. You are paying nearly nothing but interest for about 10 years, THEN you start paying down the principal balance significantly more. The first ten years you are basically renting your property from the bank. When you refinance the property the amortization schedule starts all over again where you are barely paying down your principal balance. The banks always need their cut before you are allowed to build equity.
Correct, but there are several things to consider.

Due to byte/short/char being promoted to int for any arithmetic, any time you do an operation like char+char→int, you'll still come into contact with signed types and need to continually cast back to char. This problem also occurs in C/C++, and you can typically find that uint16_t * uint16_t → signed int.

Using char to represent numbers (e.g. 16-bit channel values for pixels) instead of text is semantically incorrect. There's no problem if you're just working within Java, but once you get into comparing or porting code across languages, this is a code smell. Just as an example, the range for char in Rust is [0x000000, 0x10FFFF], and this is checked at run time when converting to char; this would be seen as weird from the lens of C/C++/Java where char is just a sequence of bits where all values are allowed.
"Buying small" is often no longer possible due to the insane increase in housing cost relative to wages, making that advice out of touch. Going on to blame this on the youth and their nightlives doesn't exactly reverse this impression.
I only eat homemade bread. I slice unused bread and put in the freezer after a day or two. Thaw it out with a toaster. It will easily keep a few weeks.
And even if they don't, if it happens early in the mortgage, it can pretty easily make it impossible for someone to be able to move.
While I agree with the sentiment of your comment, I would need proof of this:

> You can buy a home that is a 30m commute by train or bus to NYC for <= $400k.

Even a door to door commute from Secaucus, NJ station, one stop from Midtown is 20min+. I would say 60min is at least the commute you would need for housing at $400k.
