I mean, if it were up to me, I'd add 5 million bedrooms to San Francisco. And if that isn't enough, up it to 10 million.

There's only ~330 million people in the US. If we build enough, eventually supply will outstrip demand. Even for big costal cities.
Nuclear power had the distinct advantage of existing 50 years ago. No renewable can match that! I don't think it's entirely useless to study the mistakes of the past, particularly since the same patterns may repeat themselves in the future — see e.g. the rhetoric comparing battery metal mining to the environmental impact of petrochemical extraction.

I took a pay cut to work at Oxide. Coming up on year 3. No regrets.
Sure, but do these rules really mean anything at all when all th current rules seem to get broken all the time by big players anyways???
I'm thinking in a city environment. Motorcyclists ride in much more varied environments at much higher speeds with the other vehicles at higher speeds. Motorcycling is very dangerous, period.

But in city riding, motorcycles, cars, and bicycles are effectively bound to the same speed limits, such as between 0-45mph. Obviously, bicycles will be slower at the top end, but for the most part in congested city riding, all three vehicles will be within some range of each other.

In my experience and observations, the common motorcyclist will still be far better equipped in safety equipment, including helmets, gloves, jackets, boots, etc. despite having superior protection from the motorcycle itself compared to a bicycle, breaks, and acceleration. And also in my experience, bicyclists are much more willing to break traffic laws in city environments.

Maybe the comparison isn't appropriate or too heavily biased with my own safety approaches and experience, but in my experience with serious motorcyclists, anything less than a full-face helmet is viewed as complete folly. The highest percentage of hit in a motorcycle crash is in the front. (There is a famous safety graphic that shows the percentages of where on the helmet a crash occurs.)

If I decided to start riding bicycles again, on the street or elsewhere, a helmet will absolutely be used, and I would even consider going further than the typical bicycle helmet. My real point is that I find it extremely strange that some bicyclists would choose simply not to ride at all just because a helmet is required.

"US BANKING SYSTEM IN 'VASTLY BETTER POSITION RIGHT NOW' THAN IF FEDERAL ACTIONS HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN" -WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL
I tried Copilot last month and canceled my subscription because of all the small errors in generated functions. It was more painful to debug than write it myself.

Maybe I should have lowered expectations and thought of it as improved code complete. I got spoiled by copy/pasting from ChatGPT. As it stands now I'd rather pay for a subscription to have the latest ChatGPT than for Copilot.
writing code is like 10% of what most people in tech do. this will impact startups the most. but GPT-N can't have a conversation for you.
>Isn't all programming just syntactical tricks?

No. The decorator is really just a syntactic shortcut. There are other facilities in python to do the same thing. The decorator is just a convenient way of doing it. The concept at hand is a function that takes a function and returns a new function. Nothing crazy here.

decorator: Callable[[Callable[[Any]. Any]], Callable[[Any], Any]] = lambda x: (lambda y: x(y)) #does nothing
g: Callable[[Any], Any] = lambda x: x #identity func
decorated_g: Callable[[Any], Any] = decorator(g) #decorator that does nothing to identity returns identity func

You see? You can just call the function and assign the result to a var and that var is a decorated function. The facility exists, the @ symbol is simply a convenience so you can execute it in the declaration step.

>We have a fundamentally different view of these things. Mine is serving me well. Yours isn't challenging mine.

Exactly see. Just because my view is "better" or more "modern" you still function fine within your role which is my point. Someone could have knowledge far superior to a person with 2 years of experience, functionally speaking, it doesn't matter too much. You still do "fine" at your role. Your view serves you well in the capacity of a "senior" engineer" even though your view points are ultimately wrong and inferior they still work well enough.

Also it isn't a viewpoint. Two of the newest languages to hit the mainstream have eschewed inheritance completely from their syntax. Neither Golang or Rust have the concept. Both use interfaces exclusively to promote the concept of similar types. No inheritance anywhere. I have tons of evidence on this even papers, quotations from prominent people. It's a well known fact inheritance is outdated.

We can agree to disagree, but it's like agreeing to disagree with a child who doesn't know any better. Sure.
What about the SRA or Genbank? Those are pretty readily collected DNA databases. You can get curation from uniprot or embl or pdb or kegg or rhea.
Copilots positioned to optimise what i call "Google developer" flow. These are commadonity devs every workplace has who dont really know how to code, but rather know how to ask google questions to get the code they can slap together to meet a AC.

On the other side you have devs who have AI in their head. They often use tools to optimise their flow. Ive always used resharper as a developer and think autocomplete is certainly a developer efficiency improver. 99% of the suggestions resharper makes, i checkin. Thats why i use it, it has less fuzz because it doesnt try to be everything.

Pressing alt+tab and scrolling through some search results isnt something that adds overhead to my flow - after 30yrs im pretty good filtering content.

I do alot of PoCs though, so if i wanted to write in a language i didnt understand, i think copilot can improve my flow somewhat to get me to serach terms that will benifit me quicker.

Overall im still a few years away from relying on AI to help me code. Its going to be great for retirement though, if i had a family and kids it would allow me to checkout of self-paced learning while still maintaining my edge.
My mind is blown right now. I have noticed differences between the two, but I thought they were just visual/UI differences. Is there somewhere I could learn more about how Google Workspace does not have parity with a free Gmail account?
> but the FDIC always makes depositors whole somehow.

This lie keeps getting repeated, but while it usually manages to do that (by facilitating a buyout, often before or over a business day – sometimes longer in calendar time because of a weekend – when the bank is closed), it doesn’t always, even when it facilitates a buyout rather than being forced to create a takeover bank.

When it does takeover without facilitating a buyout, it never protects uninsured deposits without invoking the systemic risk exemption.

> Otherwise the banking system would collapse.

Well it does where the banking system would collapse, that’s literally the point of the systemic risk exception.

The material difference is one of scale, not complexity.

Your rules have lookback = 1, while the Othello rules have lookback <= 63 and if you, say, are trying to play A1, you need to determine the current color of all squares on A1-A8, A1-H1, and A1-H8 (which is lookback <= 62) and then determine if one of 21 specific patterns exists.

Both can be technically be modeled with a lookup table, but for Othello that table would be size 3^63.
Between this and the rumors that the headset is being rushed, it paints a picture of a company on their back foot.

Ask HN: I'm depressed because my ideas suck. Why am I so stupid?
I've been trying to enter the entrepreneurship game for about a year or two but I seem to be hitting roadblocks at each step.

I feel like my pitch are just terrible, because everyone I've pitched my ideas to says that they're too difficult/risky or cannot be done because it works X way right now and its too hard to compete with some of the players in the space.

Maybe I am naive but I've been trying to approach problems I have in my own life, seeing if others have these same experiences, and then trying to break down the problem into the smallest atomic bits so I can then figure out a "better way" in my mind. Side stepping a lot of the existing players by trying different things.

However, it seems that the people I want feedback or investment from aren't willing to entertain alternative ways to do something. I feel like in many cases, the reason innovation is difficult or hard to do is because people try to go after the small gaps in the process, but eventually that leads to more gaps because they're just patching solutions in place. I don't see the point in patches upon patches, it just means the whole thing is inefficient and sucks.

Sometimes, isn't it better to re-imagine a way to do something? Its not like I'm just coming up with ideas fresh off a mushroom trip. I've talked to people and come up with figures that are realistic and seem possible.

Maybe its hard to do X today because of many entrenched players in the space who have walled gardens. Okay. But if we have a problem in mind, and we break down the problem into as many sub-problems as possible, we can find a way around these entrenched players who are too busy defending their rathole.

Unfortunately I've only ever worked at bigger companies. At my previous job we were doing something the same way for almost 10 years (patches upon patches) to the point that customers were not interested in that feature and the company was fine letting it stagnate. I thought that if we could re-build that feature using off the shelf solutions to begin with, we could generate so many tie-ins into our existing product. Thankfully my manager believed in me and let me build a proof of concept, which was then demo'ed to higher ups in product and we ended up going all in. Today, that thing generates millions of dollars (100s I think) and brings a ton of value to customers and the business. But for almost 10 years, nobody cared or thought of doing it in a way that would actually work and fulfill its true potential.

I know I am naive but I can't help but think that people just don't want to think outside the box. I've encountered this in my career and now I'm encountering it in the entrepreneurship world. What am I doing wrong? Why am I so dumb to think I can just take something apart to its smallest bits and put it together in a better way?

Please help me because otherwise I'm just going to quit and go work at USPS or something like that and never think to innovate again. I feel so depressed and defeated.
Amazon targets 2024 launch of first Kuiper internet satellites
On paper, only SVB.

In practice, we just saw that the US government will gladly retroactively change the rules to insure any amount of money. For all practical purposes, trillions of dollars in deposits became insured by US tax payers this week.

And that's on top of the totally-not-QE BTFP facility they conjured up. That is available to all insured banks who have any underwater asset that they wish to move to the Fed's balance sheet at par for a mere ~5% per year.
> Our way of life, as it stands today, will not survive. That's not bad, just different.

What do you mean by way of life?

Even if we are only talking about supposedly purely subjective things (like fashion) or seemingly arbitrary things (like 60 hertz power), or social agreements (like driving on the right side of the road), almost everything has implications.

I reject the notion that people should punt on value judgments.

Even if you subscribe some kind of moral relativism, it is wiser to reserve judgment until you see what happens.

I don't subscribe to moral relativism. Some value systems work better than others in specific contexts.
Oh boy, you're in for a surprise, specially if you already know that there are people that buy golden toilets.
IMO this is lowering the barrier of entry to newbies. I work in this space and often users coming out of boot camps that want to set up their own labs for learning have a steep learning curve. Such is the difficulty with entering cybersecurity without an IT background, for better or worse.
This is some extremely muddled thinking. If, at some point, we run out of a mineral to mine, it's not like all our existing turbines stop working. They keep on working! And as they age out, critical materials can be recycled, because they don't consume fuel.

As for copper mining being dirty, you has best stop participating in any part of modern society if a dirty mine means a tech isn't acceptable, because guess what your entire life is built upon? Which is your choice, please check out and join a commune if you prefer to! But the damage there is not permanent destruction of species, it's a transformation of some finite amount of land, excluding native species, which is what communes and suburban homes and cities also do.

There is no free lunch, but there are economics lunches and there are wasteful lunches, and we should at least think clearly about these things rather than trying to make up arguments against choosing a cheaper lunch.
"Overlooking" is not an affordance one should hand to a machine. At minimum, it should bail and ask for correction.

That it doesn't, that relentless stupid overconfidence, is why trusting this with anything of note is terrifying.
This is done mainly to strip off meta/EXIF/GPS Data, and mitigate other format violations often used to cause "trouble". Resampling/transcoding also tends to corrupt steganography utilities, thrash user hardware thumbprints, and standardize the web experience by excluding unsafe formats in favor of well-tested efficient traditional codecs.

Specifics preclude the multifaceted nature of the policy.

Neither of those are true, there is EHR software that can export anonymous data. Lawyers can do the same thing. But the real reason not to do it is that it makes up incorrect information. It's pretty good for short responses where you can then verify the information. For something sufficiently complex though the time chasing down the inconsistencies and errors would be onerous.
This whole discussion strikes me as pure insanity.
I feel like brain injury or death is also pretty inconvenient.

Many motorcyclists employ helmet locks. I used to use one quite regularly. Why not do the same on a bicycle? In both cases, a thief could easily steal the helmet but only by cutting the straps, but that renders the helmets useless.

Having taken a number of certifications myself, I can say this is not surprising. Certifications have long been used as a means of keeping the labor pool concentrated, and in the interest of limiting those who should be qualified to receive it (based on knowledge) to those that pay the most, there are often structural issues that make certifications as a whole useless to an employer.

The employer is paying a higher price, for no real benefit.

As an example, I've helped IT staff prepare for certification on email systems and have over 5 years of direct experience specializing in that area. They received their certifications no issues, but they paid the high priced business class which included the test. I paid for just the test when I went to test, and I was failed. It wasn't a matter of not knowing the material, there were structural issues that appeared intentional, and there is no incentive to fix those issues. When I say structural, I'm talking about system's theory properties such as determinism not being present (a property any valid test should have).

In fact measures that normal businesses enact to maintain accountability to avoid lawsuits that every business has, they've removed because they are legally shielded with no real due process. They'll string you along for 3 months before giving you a credit, when you can prove they misrepresented many things, and that they made many errors that directly impacted the outcome, while refusing to make right (i.e. you may be limited by the number of times you can test, and errors on their part, by policy, won't be adjusted).

They have such legal protection that you either pay the toll, or you don't get a temporary qualification to work. Its sad, but this interference in employer-employee relations for profit at your expense is common, and unavoidable due to monopoly/oligopoly and lack of oversight.

If I were a CTO involved in hiring, knowing what I know, I would not hire based on certifications. It only shows that you either have persistence or paid more money upfront, nothing more. The marketing being pushed for certifications towards business is fraudulent in many cases, and is not representative of skills.

Disciminated Union Proposal for C#
What are you talking about?

I don't know anyone who uses it for this; specifically tests are really bad if they're subtly wrong.

Maybe to scaffold the test function, but the actual test if completely useless if you don't trust it.

So like... generate code and have robust tests, or write robust code... but, it's really really daft to generate tests that might hallucinate some random crap (and copilot really does sometimes).

Other people have said this, but copilot is auto complete.

You use it every time you press tab.

Do you accept an auto-complete suggestion 40% of the time? ...mmmm, yes, well, guess why 40% of code is generated by copilot.

It's not because people are generating tests with it.
Most of the "real" truths psychedelics reveal are about ourselves, and they do it the exact same way a therapist does - by showing us there's a different way to think, exploring the results, comparing those results to what you thought was reality, and arrive at a hopefully more accurate end result.

Agreed with this. The story written from Alex's perspective would probably be: "how I blew a once in a lifetime shot to be the best business banker in America but I took the opportunity for granted."
Have there been any tried cases of this happening yet, or is everyone still waiting for the legal precedent to be set for this situation?
That’s why I asked meaningful in what way.

Meaningful to me is something that improves quality of life for majority of people like vaccines, cure for terminal decease, better public transport etc. Making a $1000 phone sadly does not fall into same category.

Apple did push the industry with personal computers in 80s and better smartphones in 2007 but since then it’s been very incremental improvements.

No, it's not the "SV" part of the name, it's residual anger from bailing out large banks in 2008, along with the billionaires publicly lobbying for depositors to be made while. All those depositors, every single one, knew they were uninsured above $250k. The anger comes from bailing out the rich, uninsured depositors. The wealthy get better treatment than the average person and this just rubs everyone's nose on it.
I'm curious what I could expect to earn as a Senior Developer with 18 years of experience? I've worked my way into manager/director positions at a couple of companies, but I'm a developer at heart. Always worked for private companies with in-house tech teams, some offering traditional services, some SAAS, some physical goods.

I started in 2005 with no degree at $10/hr. Many years later, a handful of job changes, and I'm north of $200k total compensation when you include salary, insurance and ESOP. That's a huge leap from where I started, but when I see people nearly 1/2 my age hitting $200k on salary alone, it makes me wonder...
