Since you bring up game theory, the optimal strategy is to defect (withdraw your money) SECRETLY so that the bank has the highest chance of survival and your venture debt loans, relationships, etc all survive. Instead, some VCs PUBLICLY/LOUDLY withdrew their money and created a panic, which doomed the bank to a massive bank run.
That doesn’t buy them back. It allows banks to use them as collateral for a loan. So it provides short term liquidity, but the banks are still on the hook if prices don’t recover. The hope is that eventually prices will recover.
For small businesses and hobbyists it probably makes more sense to compute locally on a real workstation that can run the latest and greatest software without compromises.

For your typical consumer, or even remote worker, they can replace their phone and laptop with an AR device. Wearable computing that merges seamlessly with everyday "real world" experiences just seems to be so obviously the next step.

It would be a dream if all I had to ever carry around was a folding keyboard for "serious" work (in the pocket where the phone used to be), but otherwise hardly ever need to do so and interact with a lightweight pair of unfussy glasses using eye tracking, touch surfaces, motion sensors, etc. For many people this means no more screens of any kind anywhere cluttering up their life except for the ones continuously and unobtrusively projecting onto their eyeballs.

I’ve done my fair share of torrenting and the like. Never once I have been under the illusion that I have some kind of special right to someone else’s unique combinations of bits.

If the internet wasn’t around people would still be copying VHSs and DVDs. Just because the internet makes it easier to copy doesn’t mean you get a special pass.

You didn't do your research. They sold their AFS securities because Moody's was threatening to downgrade them, and they were forced to act. That's why everything happened so quickly, Moody's was going to downgrade them, which forced SVB to make a bunch of deals in order to not only short up their finances but try to get investors to inject liquidity. They didn't have enough time to seal the deal before announcing it, and all the investors pulled out after the reaction to the announcement.

Or having a vision like: replacing/assisting mental health professionals with AI. Imagine doing CBT/DBT with a LLM.
What's the direct to consumer part then?

The place I used to work had inventory on hand and so they could do your service now. Most people dont fix something that isn't broken. Meaning, if their existing system works, they won't replace it just because. So what this also means is that speed and time of delivery is very important. If your heat or cooling has broken and it's necessary, and you want to replace it, you're going to want to do it asap. So it needs to be on hand for contractors to have ready to go. Furnaces don't break in the summer when they're not being used.

If you have contractor deals, you're going to have to provide some incentive for them to use these things. Because contractors are inclined to charge the most amount of money for the thing that's easiest for them to install.

I am biased because I worked at a shop whose selling point was "we'll do it now when everyone else will book you two weeks out" and when you're talking about things like water, heat, and to an extent sewage, the value of time increases significantly.

PR review UI seems very bad to me compared to both github and bit bucket. So it's probably a matter of what you got used to first.

One of its major issues is not displaying merge conflicts in some scenarios, just tells you of the existence of a conflict and you need to figure it out outside the UI.

I just looked this up myself. It was proposed as part of last year's COMPETES act:

https://prospect.org/politics/congress-proposes-500-million-...

I only found articles on this from when the act was still moving through congress. But the act was passed, so I assume this part did as well.

You talk like google pay less in lobbying cash than an individual citizen.

Google could refuse and take that s&^t to the supreme court while funding the opponent of every politician who took them on for it. That's what they do to ensure they're not getting broken up like a monopoly should be, after all. But yeah the latter is their profit, the former is merely the right thing to do. They're motivated to enhance their profit at the expense of the country, which is what out sized market power /is/ and to ignore something where they might improve the country because there's no cash in it for them.

You kind of might want to revisit this part: "if you're an individual US citizen, you have more power to change it than Google does." Because it's clearly ridiculous on every level and comically so.

Did the law really change since these guys signed up with google or did google "overlook it" to sign them, then pull the switch later without any change in law between the two dates?
I’d like to see more examples of modern place names which the author deems inadequate, and some evidence that beautiful names are fading.

Among the places I’ve traveled (which are regretfully not many), it doesn’t quite feel like that nature/geography/person-related place names are largely being replaced by heavily commercial ones. So I need more convincing that is is actually happening.

Remarkable reading through this comments section absolutely excoriating this business proposition.

The usual motte and bailey nonsense. Look back at your words. You said it needs 100% backup and repeatedly affirmed you meant something with 100% of the output and 100% of the average output and that this made solar useless.

You're now trying to gaslight by saying you meant the whole system needs redundancy.

You're also somehow claiming that anyone advocating solar is advocating for zero wind. This is another unhinged lie.

Yeah right - come here and whine at HN about how rich get richer without even knowing anything about the issue at hand; hoping to score some HN points.
*Lego

With that out of the way, it is worth contemplating the different expressiveness of a 3D discrete medium (Lego), vs a 1D discrete medium (code, prose). Counterintuitively, it is actually the 1D medium that is more expressive (i.e. can express a wider range of ideas, in more varied ways). It's as if the extra dimensions become a straight jacket of sorts.

Perhaps we can paraphrase this as 'the unreasonable effectiveness of symbols'. Formal mathematics is just symbols, and yet it completely describes our natural world as far as we know it, and a lot more besides.

(Actually the key thing is we don't have a reduction engine for Lego, so no means to make it 'come alive')

It’s hard to know what to do. Seems to be the nature of the upper middle class rat race; everyone is looking for a leg up, competition is fierce and there’s no end in sight.

It feels depressing to toil for years and end up mid.

On social media all we see are people living extraordinary lives, traveling, looking gorgeous, spending money, being successful entrepreneurs, etc.

Must really suck to think that’s all possible for you but somehow it’s always out of reach.
We’ve already destroyed a third of Earths forests, and most grassland has been converted to agriculture. We didn’t use nets, but the result has been the same.
Absolutely. Inflation is systemic - aging populations pay more to compete for limited labor and services, and every country is aging at the same time.

To truly keep prices within 2% YoY, they'd have to raise rates so high that the assets held by elderly get curb stomped to oblivion, and now you have a whole set of new problems.

The other alternative is a technological revolution that frees everyone up to do the in-person things driving cost hikes, and frees them to plug the holes forming (due to many factors) in the international trade system.

I don't see an alternative where the not-working, elderly, and needy come out ahead here, even best case is a lesser form of bad for them and the services they demand.

You mean `python -m venv`? Because that's literally that with just as little effort, and then you copy requirements.txt, but the whole point is that in 2023, this should not be necessary and the continued insistence by both python and specifically venv maintainers that it somehow needs to be this way, is insane. And telling people that they should just use clone tools is equally insane when we could just...

Second this. In our current era the copyright owners (usually not even the authors themselves) are the ones lobbying for increasing surveillance to encroach on the fundamental rights to speech and information. They are also lobbying for ever-lengthening copyright. By paying, you are sponsoring their actions. We should also reform the political system to make it less susceptible to lobbying, but that's another discussion.

Yes, but it's much harder to have a legally enforceable SLA with your in-house team and much less fun to threaten to sue yourself.

[On the other hand, in-house gives you greater control. If you're good (enough) at alignment and execution, you can optimize your infrastructure for your use case and either save the organization money or enable more money to be made through enhanced capabilities.]

Every now and then I wake up from the kool-aid stupour because I've been using a different programming language and ecosystem for a while and coming back to Python is just an excruciating exercise in "why is this still so shit?"

While writing a book is not particularly profitable, the author could probably earn more by self-publishing rather than working with a publisher, since the author has done most of the marketing anyway.
Interesting, I’ve never seen that. Reading HN since circa 2012, but it feels like delay > 0 should be rare enough. Maybe the author of that app (or is it a mailing list?) would be interested in researching what hn’s js itself does in this case. Maybe delay was just “slapped on top” like we all sometimes do :)

P.s. I edited the comment above somewhat later after tinkering, so if you received a notification and followed it quickly enough, it was expected that I was too slow to post an update. I don’t think there’s another issue here.

Also, just as an idea how it may happen. I was thinking about how you go to comments from this app. If you follow a “context” link, the page may not yet contain the #hash and may simply omit the comment. But if you follow a “reply” link, aka “time ago”, HN itself may have no choice but to show three stars until the delay is over.

That's great. There is also this effort in New Zealand: https://mackwelloco.com/, focusing on "Modern Steam" techniques, with a small engine, targeting areas without easy access to diesel.

A good overview of modern steam techniques is here: http://advanced-steam.org/5at/principles-of-modern-steam/, where they focus on dramatically more efficient and clean burning engines. A fascinating rabbit hole to go down :).

What children do or do not want is an unreliable signal of what is good for their long-term well being.

Being paid changes the dynamic in a deep way from being a hobby. It opens up the floodgates of manipulation and abuse.

How is it at all tertiary? It's the primary point: we don't allow children to work for pay because of the potential for abuse; children get paid to act; many child actors are abused as a result of extracting money from them and their labor.

We make an exception because it is convenient, not well understood by the public, and we all benefit from the resultant entertainment.
LLaMA 7B model on a 4GB RAM Raspberry Pi 4
I don't even see the position you are arguing against recently around here. But I see lots of comments similar to yours, so what do you have to add?

Saying that intelligent machines are impossible because of hand-wavy metaphysical reasons (or vanity as you claim) is completely different from saying that this technique can or can't be improved to do things that it can't now.

Jet turbines definitely can and have been improved to exceed the capabilities of birds, and it surely doesn't violate the laws of physics to build a machine that flies by flapping wings, but one technology doesn't inherently lead to the other.

It's not a choice of either unlimited improvement or an insurmountable obstacle if improvements are going in a different direction that what's being considered.

The great forces of those interested in suppressing the spread of news and those interested in being paid for their stories to be read are pretty much insurmountable but there is a way past this that neither will like: Simply deliver their conclusions, reasoning, mistakes, and an accurate report through Fair Use, &c.

I wouldn't be surprised if the benefactors of this tripe are even more upset about that. Maybe they will take the uphill fight and challenge fair use, and so on and so on. The foundation they stand on will evaporate beneath them over time and they'll rely on lobbying and ever more pretentious foundations than they had before.

We all wonder how the newsrooms and newspapers of yesteryear were so well funded and so able to nail an absolute home run in a time long gone but the answer is right in front of us. So much of the "news" is just a conduit of public relations, from the advertisers and worse, straight to the audience. At the same time, so much news made by actual reporters is not great for advertisers, the government, important people, etal.

There are absolutely answers but nobody wants to pay for them with money or other means.
Sometimes I wonder — is it the internet, or did people overall became much too concerned about minor things in life?

In the comments, I see a thread about hating captchas and closing an AirBnB account for it. I see people bashing Signal for being a walled garden, when they are free not to use it. Some are extrapolating political statements from a choice of a company to offer a centralized service, even if the centralized approach is simply enough for their goals. Another commenter says they'll be moving their family off of Signal because of the blog article.

The author of the text piece connects white cis privilege to a problem caused by an unusual phone, and talks how a centralized service makes them feel hopeless — a very strong emotion! And HN leans into the conversation even though many people on HN probably have some understanding of how edge case support is de-prioritized in products, and that it's just that.

The problems raised by the article and a lot of discussions here feel concerningly neurotic. Have people run out of big problems to address or lost focus? Is it just the internet, or have people in general become more tunnel-visioned on micro-problems and unaware of the broader context? Does this mean that we expect so much comfort in life now that we're becoming deeply affected by such inconsequential inconveniences?
