The appeasement policy is still heavily debated today and is in no way a objective truth that it was "wrong"

I encourage you to read the fairly long wikipedia detailing the long debate over this policy.

One of the major highlights here is transfer learning - how learning on one task transfer to another. This was and is hard to achieve - here they show that the model needs to be big enough for this to happen.
My canon printer has tanks that you simply refill with liquid ink. Higher up-front costs but now I have a printer with the majority of DRM eliminated.
What water pump and heater do you use? do you just grab some lame thing off the shelf that's the same as existing machines (at which point, what's the point of building your own if it's just going to be the same), or do you spec out expensive custom hardware with a custom motor that has bespoke winding arrangement that manages to accomplish what you set out to do? and an induction heater that's exactly right for the expected water for? And then, what do the panels and buttons look like? Is it a Janky looking electrician's special with protruding wires and buttons that aren't suitable outside of industrial use, or do you injection mold buttons that are right?

Okay, fine, none of that adds up to Disneyland money, but we're still talking some 6-figures for this project that may never be recouped. Maybe that's an amount of money that you're able to swallow without a corporation's help. Seems a lot easier with help though.

HP printers are dreadful. Six years ago, I switched from my HP to a Brother HL-L2395DW, and I haven't turned back since. Have no more issues printing, jamming, installing bloated drivers, establishing a Wi-Fi connection, or obtaining third-party toner for it. The drum life is still at 98%.

> Is it really better than just using an array, though?

In many cases, absolutely yes it's better. Otherwise you can end up being forced to cram several GB or even 10's of GB of JSON into working memory. Not ideal.

Usually each ndjson file is generated by a single process, so there isn't much concern about invalid formatting making it's way in. It's one of those rare win-wins.

I'd think YEC is a small subset of climate deniers even if most YEC are climate deniers. I can image a climate denier contingency here but I have a hard time believing that YECs bother with HN. I'm not up to date on conspiracy theorists though. Are there any threads you can point to about YEC here?

Regardless, this is also a great way to stifle important scientific discourse. Nobody wants scientific commentary to happen hidden from public view, so more and more happens on preprint servers and social media. But then nobody wants to make even good faith criticisms because they don't want the general public to misinterpret, aided by bad faith spinning by other parties.

Of course you will see criticisms related to e.g. labor conditions, but when it comes to criticism of scientific practice or even in some cases specific results, there are always a bunch of people ready to comment about how most critics are quacks and we need to be careful about extremism. This is awfully convenient for the scientists that are doing subpar work.
I suspect that fiction tends to be opposite of reality.

In the 1950s and 1960s, even though the economy was doing great, there was a lot of darkness in the world. There was the cold war, which was terrifying (you kids think it’s bad now?), we still had World War 2, Korea, and even World War 1 veterans around. We were still coming to grips with The Holocaust, and counterculture was just starting up with The Beats (not the Liverpool moptops). We had mass starvation, race riots, and a lot of fear.

Fiction, in those days, was pretty fluffy and optimistic.

The last couple of decades, before the current one, had seen a lot less of that kind of darkness, and escapism became fairly dark. Dystopian fantasy became en vogue, etc.

Things are getting dark again. I suspect fiction may lighten up.

We’ll see…

Median internet speeds is a terrible metric when comparing infrastructure because it effectively only measures the cheapest to deploy urban populations internet speeds which is basically meaningless now days. 50 Mbps or 500 Mbps all are basically running on the same back haul which is why things fell apart during the pandemic when people tried to actually use their hypothetical home bandwidth.

Meanwhile millions of Americans are stuck with 1.5 Mbps DSL or really expensive Satellite internet.

The example you highlighted as "doing it wrong" is pretty typical for an autosuggest component: Input updates trigger some request, which propagates to some list somewhere else in the dom. As it's loading, a spinner is shown, but when results are retrieved, they're updated again. Throw in apollo to the mix or some other request library, and context is used.

>Read a few times the same data and make sure it'd always be different?

As EvanAnderso and Meic said, yes. Think of it as the Schrodinger's cat of copy protection; as long as the bad sector is in a state of quantum superposition, the game works. It's when the superposition collapses into a definitive state that the game fails to load.

If you still haven't understood that these people are well aware of the risks and don't have a choice, I don't know what to say.

People are dying. And it's not rich people in high rises with the state of the art in fire prevention, it's working class people in old buildings known for horrific deadly outcomes from fires that wouldn't even have made the apartment bulletin board in new construction.

> NYC is completely different because the speed cars travel at is actually 25mph

Unless there's traffic jam, driving speeds in the 4+ lane avenues in Manhattan is certainly higher than 25mph. (Source: used to spend all my weekends in Manhattan so I've done a lot of walking and cycling all over it.)

> Even as a healthy young guy, I feel intimidated walking across 80ft+ of vehicles that can be traveling at high speeds.

You should not be crossing when cars are traveling at any speed other than zero, that's what the pedestrian crossing lights are for.

In any case, you're right in that if you set a personal limitation on what is walkable that excludes nearly every part of the country (including Manhattan), then you won't find any walkable areas.

Personally I don't mind crossing a street (with a red-light protected crossing) so I find suburban areas to very walkable since I can (and do) get to any stores I want within an easy walk.

You’re comparing decades of productivity going to capital to debt incurred within the last half decade (“Here's where the money went”).

The US does have a lot of sovereign debt, no doubt, but that’s not why Labor isn’t seeing a greater share of the productivity gains since the 70s. A loss of collective labor power and 10% of the country owning 89% of public equities gets us here.

To arrived at an improved end state, one would need more unions and labor organizing, as well as perhaps ratcheting down the work week to 4 days.

lol to the guy accusing floppy disks of being "plastic waste." As if SSDs encased in 90% hollow plastic/metal, or USB drives encased in varying amounts of unnecessary plastic are somehow less "wasteful" than floppy disks were.

On a more serious note, wouldn't most of these machines be well served by floppy disk emulators? Or is the barrier to entry there the modicum of technical know-how needed to interface with those properly.
For example, which video conferencing solution would you choose: the one that always works for everyone you invite, or the one that works only for 90% of the people you invite, because the other 10% are on an ISP that blocks it? You'd be under a lot of pressure to choose the solution that you know will just work for everyone.

The ISP doesn't need to be anything close to a monopoly to get leverage for extortion and (in the process) mess up competition at the application layer.

Yes, we need more competition, but we still need net neutrality rules.

Competition improves prices and service. Net neutrality rules protect competition at the application layer, and they ensure that ISPs are really competing on how good they are at moving data, not just on how good they can get at shaking down the application layer.

Tangentially related but one of my favorite stories is that the earliest derivatives contract we have recorded was based on astrology:

> A story, with different versions, recounts how Thales achieved riches from an olive harvest by prediction of the weather. In one version, he bought all the olive presses in Miletus after predicting the weather and a good harvest for a particular year. Another version of the story has Aristotle explain that Thales had reserved presses in advance, at a discount, and could rent them out at a high price when demand peaked, following his prediction of a particularly good harvest. This first version of the story would constitute the first historically known creation and use of futures, whereas the second version would be the first historically known creation and use of options.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales_of_Miletus

Aristotle clarifies that Thales supposedly predicted the weather by using astrology:

> Thales, so the story goes, because of his poverty was taunted with the uselessness of philosophy; but from his knowledge of astronomy he had observed while it was still winter that there was going to be a large crop of olives....

And it's fine, because the regulator forces them to take the risk. As soon as the risk for having to own unauthorized transaction becomes to much for their current auth schema, you'd find it replaced faster than you can say CFPB.
It really depends what sorts of compiler bugs you're referring to. I think you're thinking of codegen bugs, which are indeed rare. But on the front-end/parsing side for something like C++, it's really not uncommon to encounter buggy compiler behavior. This isn't an indictment of their developers though - the spec is just super complicated and confusing with weird corner cases and ambiguities.

I'm sure Europe won't be something like Sri Lanka, but I feel the anti-business sentiment (businesses are greedy) all the time (especially when I visit US where the opposite is far too much, I see how much big companies captured the country).

Also in US people are fat and die much sooner than Western-Europeans (health is the most important thing a country can provide in my opinion).

With AI coming tech is really taking over from oil in importance (especially long term), so I'm not that worried about it as much as the incompetency and mismanaged EU money that should just go to the venture funds instead of how its distributed.
Im very into the idea of the state competing to create accessible affordable baselines, and letting everyone else compete openly in trying to make money.

If government wants to do that by contacting out a bunch of the effort, ok!

Government trying to insure good baselines, not just regulatorily, but actually doing the work & owning the system (again even if contacted) feels like it's ever more necessary step to keep a healthy society.

>You should not be crossing when cars are traveling at any speed other than zero, that's what the pedestrian crossing lights are for.

You would never finish crossing then. Lots of times there are cars traveling in the lanes that are approaching the intersection, and you have no way of knowing if they are paying attention or not to the traffic lights.

At low speeds, you can eyeball them sufficiently decreasing their speed and confirm they are stopping, but at high speeds, it is impossible to tell.
>Net neutrality went away and as far as I can tell, nothing changed.

It was always a scam. Revoking a mandate in 2017 that had been imposed in [drum roll, please] 2015 was never going to Destroy the Internet(TM), contrary to the claims by all those Reddit subreddits that "went dark" in protest.

authoritarians and dictators are how we got here. Why are you so dismissive of them?

Spot on. For context: 60fps gives you ~17ms of wiggle room before you start dropping/delaying frames. With 96kHz audio you have 0.01ms between samples. Drift above 0.05ms and you'll start introducing time domain issues in the human hearing range.

In other words, 'realtime' audio processing needs to happen 1700x faster that 'realtime' image work. Bandwidth isn't limiting factor, deterministic and uniform latency is that challenge for any signal as the sample rate goes up.

You are both right. React components should render based on state that is managed by React, such that the
rendered output changes only if the state changes.

The complicated bit is the handling of events and changing the state. Hence why you get Redux for state but there is no “Redux for views”
Maybe I am missing it, but I would love to see more details about how the handle the "embedding" of text and image into the same space. Does anyone have a link that goes into more detail?

If you ask a therapist who specializes in addiction, they will likely say that gambling addictions are the hardest to treat. The reasoning is that when one gambles, one actually wins sometimes, even after many years of gambling. It’s that occasional reward that makes it difficult to treat.
