Thanks for the pointer. Will check out that direction.

There is not a me problem though. Not in the sense of me being maladjusted to a fucked up world. If by checking out you mean see a therapist to beef me up against the way we live and/or medicate myself out of it then no thanks. That'd be throwing in the towel which if I were to do I wouldn't reach out here and elsewhere. Also tried talking with a few therapists. How to put it kindly? All they cared about is taking my money and ensure that I'm already convinced that they will help me (but it's part of their damned jobs to convince me they are not useless). So, thanks but no thanks. I'll keep looking but the sample so far was subpar.
Your theoretical argument against bikes is actually just a practical argument against cars. Most people hate driving, they do it because they have to. Cities ripped apart streets to satisfy a minority of the people.
Well, what means "AI" here? "AI" as in neural networks in a more general sense have been in use for decades now. OCR aka text recognition uses neutral networks in consumer products since the 90ies, in the broader field of image processing they are in use for years by now, to the point that every more modern smartphone has a dedicated co-processor for "AI" computations for exactly this purpose. So "AI" is not just hype, it is already deeply ingrained in some aspects of our lives.

Ever thought about the stock market? There are big computing centers with "AI" automatically scooping up the next potential trend based on all kinds of information to make trading decisions.

I think it was CNN that did some articles with ChatGPT, but the kicker was that once they opened up about that there was a fine line below it: They've been using something similar for much longer already and even said it is used more widely (i.e. not just CNN).

So, "AI" is already there, going to stay, and will continue to be used in increasingly more places.

Is there hype around "AI"? Definitively, especially by those who have no clue about anything. Is it as unfounded as crypto? No, because crypto was garbage from the start.
There’s duration in the sense of borrowing short and lending long, and there’s duration in the sense of taking on the corresponding interest rate risk. The US model of fixed-rate mortgages is a bit of an oddity — banks will often lend long with adjustable-rate instruments.

If a bank has $100 of deposits and has lent out $90 on a 30-year adjustable rate basis, the bank is exposed to potentially liquidity issues, default risk, and second-order effects like changes in the yield curve. But if the bank lends that $90 as a fixed rate mortgage or buys a 30-year T bond, they are directly exposed to interest rate changes.

(Also, as I understand it, and this is far outside my expertise: banks usually try repackage their debt and sell it to investors. The banks presumably can’t carry those 30 year fixed mortgages on their books without accounting for interest rate risk. Why are T bonds special?)
If your are a year from retirement that’s about the only reason
Things that are possible are frequently not the default condition.
Should municipalities instead be forced to spend tax dollars on more roads? Bike paths are cheaper, more people on bikes leaves more space for cars, and less cars means less traffic deaths.

Lots of people want to bike or would appreciate it once they get used to it, but often the infrastructure simply isn't there. If you build good bike infrastructure (nut just the occasional bike path, but a network of them), it will be used, and will remove a lot of strain from the car infrastructure.

They're categorically different media, it's not just a matter of quantity. You could sum up 1000 pictures of bananas with the word "bananas", or you could spend 1000 different words describing nuances and context in just one of those pictures. Something is lost (and something is gained) either way.
Thanks for the reply!

What did you do instead?
shrug I have the same issue as the blog author faced... I appreciated their perspective on the issue.

Of course, I did think the topic was going to be about laptops, but shrug still was a nice read.
Your intuition is going in the right direction. Workers, and worker aggregates in the form of unions or other entities, are the supply side for labor. They can be a monopoly (indeed, "better wages" and similar demands are expressions of market power).

If there is only one demander (employer) for the labor, it would be a monopsony. Like a coal company in a company town.
It should be simple just offer more to employees who score the lowest in the stacked ranking

Totally agree with that dev experience 5 years ago. I did integrate their DropIn product about 2 years ago and that was much nicer to work with but I always found their docs a little confusing. Stripe is hands down the winner in dev ux.
This is a bit off-topic, but I have always been wondering why cursors in operating systems or games always seem to wear white gloves. Am I just too young? Have gloves been a thing in the eighties?

Edit: Thinking further, is this related to Mickey Mouse? Why does he wear gloves too, anyway? So many questions.

Same. Same for a lot of my devices really. I'd pay $100-$200 yearly for another year of Android updates or a viable alternative phone-os altogether.
Ive replaced entire HP printers with Brothers over the last 20 years.

it's not obvious to me how utopian this will feel as the percentage of (quite high powered) ebikes continues to grow. There is a chance that the golden age of city cycling is over.
It's much easier and cheaper not to emit CO2 than to capture already-emitted CO2. The whole idea of carbon capture is a subsidy of current polluters by future generations that will have to bear the costs.
The first program I ever keyed in was the one dimensional lunar lander simulation on my dad's HP calculator. Must have been 6 or 7 years old (by 9 years old I was doing BASIC on an Apple ][ with floating point card and programming intersections of two pipes to make cutting templates). Even back then I got to the 'suicide burn' approach. Made playing the arcade game pretty easy years later.

I've suffered from this dilemma. I've kept an A5 (large?) softcover Moleskine as my main notebook for several years, but I always had this subtle fear about 'committing' something to a perfect-bound notebook, because I knew I wouldn't want to start ripping pages out. On the other hand, a cheap glue-bound or even spiral-bound notepad felt almost TOO disposable - I like to keep archives of notes and sketches in some sort of chronological order.

Recently I found my holy grail which is Muji's system of ring-bound, refillable notebooks and paper refills - https://www.muji.eu/uk/product/cover-for-loose-leaf-paper-a5...

They feel disposable enough (partly the fact they are refillable makes me feel I'm not thinning down the notebook when I rip several pages out at once) but the way you can open the rings and transfer pages means that it's a great system for keeping notes together several years down the line - or even in a more permanent-feeling ring-bound binder. It's an absolute revelation for someone who has obsessed about notebooks!
This could become a self-fulfilling prophecy but also it's a generally very well regarded bank so possibly somebody with deep pockets gets a fantastic deal on a major commercial bank.

Chaining this much is not really recommended in Zig. An idiomatic implementation of that stuff would not allow you to chain this much.

Additionally, in Zig temporaries (which you would be implicitly constructing by chaining) are immutable, meaning that a chain of calls would only compile as long as it doesn't try to mutate any intermediate value (which is a nice protection against footguns).

But really, this is a coding style that's considered fine in Rust, not in Zig.

I think GPT is super useful but can't seem to eke any value out of DAL-E. Yes, it can draw a bear in a business suit on the beach well, which is impressive but I can't think of how to utilize this.

As an example, I've tried to get it to draw architecture diagrams, it draws a few boxes but then places the strangest text on those boxes.
Tip for anyone who enjoyed that particular type of video - scroll through that user decino's videos looking for thumbnails with bright yellow backgrounds. Those are the ones where he digs into tech behind Doom and Doom II, usually with some really nice, simple, visualisations.

My "office" is a warehouse in some little town outside Denver. It's 20 minutes from anywhere, and an hour from where you would buy a house. It has a sparse smattering of desks populated with single monitors and those lowest tier dell mice and keyboards. All the desks are in one room. There's a bathroom. The kitchen is always in some state of dirty and nobody ever makes coffee.

Yeah I'm good in my home, thanks.
As someone who was born at the start of the 70's, I think you really had to live through the 70's and early 80's to realise how bleak it was. And I say this as someone who grew up on mostly free school meals, had their phone cut off for non-payment etc.

I use the Traveler's company notebook. It's just a leather shell and it allows you to put inserts in. You can mix and match up to three or four different types of inserts. The fact I can always put in new inserts allowed me to feel more comfortable writing whatever in the notebook and not feel afraid of wasting it.
It does add up. I went from a place where I had about 20-30 min commute to 2 mins. That is 1 hour per day extra. 5 hours extra per week. ~260 hours per year. That is nearly 32 days extra per year to do stuff.

I have gone back to the 30 min commute. I do not care for the commute part. The office bit is 'nice'/whatever as it is as I tell the people I work with 'toy distraction free'. As all of my cool things I like to mess with are at home.

But honestly they are paying me a decent salary and part of the deal is I do what they pay me for, for a few hours of the day. I am selling my time for money. If they want to pay for that I am fine with it. They want to pay me to 'work from home' I am fine with that too. It is is 'their dime'.
"Market cap" is always a dubious number, even for something like stocks that do represent an actual underlying asset. It's extrapolating the last trade (or last few trades) to the entire set, and that's not realistic. A market capacity can drop millions of billions with just $1 changing hands.

The number isn't completely worthless. Most of the time, you're not thinking about liquidating the entire thing all at once. The actual total number isn't all that important, but the way it changes is informative -- it accurately captures what happens at the margins.

Crypto is weird in that the entire thing genuinely can collapse at a moment's notice. Unlike a stock, there's no real-world asset anywhere, just the consensual agreement. Even a fiat currency at least has the force of a government collecting taxes and paying wages.

The market cap is a useful number so long as nobody expects to actually realize it. When you actually could realize it, like a currency collapsing, you have to unpack the full meaning of it and realize that it's very different.
i do share the feeling.

you should be specific, especially when marketing to developers. So, I’d rather write the product is "used by X developers or Y companies."

in a past experience at an early-stage company that was starting its sales motion, we highlighted a testimonial from a customer in the headline as a workaround. Another option could be adding a short description of the use case, too.

I think "dirtbag communists" is referring to the hosts of the podcast, not the 17th century English (although the Ranters and Diggers might fit the bill).
Sure, but that doesn't help against the springs mechanically wearing out, or mechanical damage bending the hollow part of the USB-C connector.

Looking at all of my USB-C keys, most of them get visibly bent inwards after a couple of years of carrying them in a pocket on a keychain with other keys.

It's hard to imagine a USB-A key breaking in the same way. The only thing that could conceivably break it is the PCB itself snapping, or possibly static electricity (but I don't know how much better USB-C keys would fare in that regard).

So given that I can buy 2-3 A-to-C adapters for the price difference between a USB-A and a USB-C key, why take the additional risk?
I used cheap notebooks for years but recently switched to an e-ink tablet (supernote) and love it and I feel better about saving a few trees.

Now [...] Cochrane [...] says the way it summarized the review [as previously posted on HN] was unclear and imprecise, and that the way some people interpreted it was wrong.

“Many commentators have claimed that a recently updated Cochrane Review shows that ‘masks don’t work’, which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Karla Soares-Weiser, the editor in chief of The Cochrane Library, said in a statement.

So the evidence is relatively straightforward: Consistently wearing a mask, preferably a high-quality, well-fitting one, provides protection against the coronavirus.
We did typed racket in school[1]. It helps me wrap my brain around the concept. In if then statements, both branches must return the same type, and the whole statement is typed to that type, for example. It is pretty limiting, but hey, lisp is the programming language you can use to make other programming languages. I do agree though; common lisp and its `declare` statements hit the sweet spot for me.

My take here is that remote first is great for a new company where you can build and hire with the specific knowledge that everything will be remote. But porting everything to remote, some folks will not cope at all.
The GP comment’s proposal is not incompatible with what you (and typical users) want.

Moderation is very different from censorship.

I want strong moderation and “banning” for myself. I would ideally like this to be as automatic as possible, perhaps via default blocklists that update on an ongoing basis, that I can still opt out of if I really cared to do so.

On the other hand, I don’t believe that I have any kind of entitlement to prevent other people from seeing content once it’s been permanently hidden from my own view. I don’t really care if other people are able to see content that I don’t wish to see.

This article describes the distinction in a pretty clear and concise way: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/moderation-is-differen...

As an example, suppose I come in to your business, flash the gun in my waistband, and offer you a subscription to my protection service. You gulp nervously and pay. Has value been demonstrated?

Suppose I as a software developer create tools for ransomware gangs, who pay me handsomely for each new version. Have I created value?
I go a different route with my Todo journal. I make my own paper out of recycled paper I get from junk mail. I cut them to my preferred size and then I do a quick binding with thread from a sewing kit. I then back it with a spine of duck tape (based off another hacker news post). I like making deeply personal objects and doing it this way makes me excited to use them.

I’ve also recently started to make linoleum stamps to mark the cover of each notebook

*EDIT*

For those that are curious, I make paper similar to the process outlined here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xrWrKIVBgo

For my materials it's pretty much what the video shows. I'd recommend starting slowly. Don't try to buy everything all at once. I built up what I had slowly and worked around what I didn't have. Thankfully a lot of these materials you already probably have around the house!
