I've been thinking about this same thing recently - looks like Youtube has an API that returns transcripts for videos, and can feed this into ChatGPT API to produce a summary. Still just been stuck at idea stage though.
That’s assuming gold keeps its value in that sort of event! Not that I think that’s unlikely, since we have a long history of lusting after gold and generally appreciating shiny things… but given the metal itself has relatively little utility, it’s like an other currency in that it ultimately relies on people perceiving it as valuable for it to actually be, well, valuable!
Both can still be valid.

Mental health days are good, and burn out is a real phenomenon.

It's a shame that blue collar workers don't have access to these facilities, and yes office workers are by and large 'softer' than blue collar workers. But we should fight corporations and organisations to provide those facilities for everyone, and not pick sides in a working class debate (not that you did that).

All paid workers real enemy is the capital class, and we should never forget that.
It’s all very well turning these off but they’ll get reset at some point when there’s an update anyway.
Absolutely agree. However that’s for the rule creator. I think that infinity in this context sounds slightly poetic.
In my experience it's the poorly implemented abstractions on top of your ORM of choice that make graphql a bad time. It itself is really a great way to do things imo
> I've been told to "google it" more times than I could ever count and not once have I perceived a condescending intent.

Personally, when someone answers "google it", I read it as "fuck off". If you don't want to help me, just don't; no need to explicitly say you won't.

However, it's totally different if you say "you should read about concepts X, Y, Z", because that gives me keywords to search for.

> If I turn to my coworker and ask [...]

Well that's a bit different than asking a question to strangers online. Of course sometimes it makes sense to ask a coworker, though a quick search beforehand never hurts.
You can have n-ary relationships. Relational databases are built on that.
I can’t speak to what the original poster experienced in college, but your heated response implies a resistance to at least some forms on inquiry as unacceptable or inappropriate or at a minimum worthy of disparagement, which I think undermines your argument a bit.
I’ve gotten much better at load the pizza into my pizza oven stress-free. I’ve moved away from cornmeal; it works great, but I never liked the gritty texture it gives the pizza.

My technique is to use a wooden pizza peel and liberally flour it before starting to form the dough-ball into a pie shape. I form the pie using my fists, so I have a chance to shake the extra flour off the crust before I start putting the sauce and toppings on it. I’ll also give the peel a good shake before I start saucing, just to make sure the dough isn’t sticking.

Doing all of the above, I haven’t accidentally turned a pizza into a ripped-up calzone for at least a few years.
If they are talking about treating employees and customers good regardless of their pronouns, dress attire, quirks, etc... then I'm on board. If it's anything beyond that it is a waste of time.
He has a kids book about pizza (Every Night is Pizza Night), so I suspect he did some serious research for that.

I love C and Rust - I’ve been using rust full time for the past couple of years.

But if I wanted to let loose these days and write some code without worrying about the safety that rust has to offer, I’d reach for Zig. It seems to solve a lot of C’s problems while being a much cleaner, well thought through language for low level code. Im a fan!

The US is in the same situation, except that it is not a personal dictatorship. It has a two-party dictatorship, and what unites them is the unwavering support for the foreign imperialism. Any party/candidate that breaks with the foreign imperialism will be labeled an enemy of the state. In this sense, democracy is dead in America too since the cold war.

I think you may need to be more clear in your communications.

Unless I've completely misread what you just said, under the logic you just followed you are saying if you speak out at all in public its a malign influence campaign.

I stuck mostly with what's been well documented, if you have a counterpoint feel free to insert that but if you haven't noticed, features in technology for reliable communications have been being removed relatively silently, and social credit systems currently in existence do just what I said they do. Its inspired both the "Last Generation", and the "Let It Rot" movements and saying otherwise lacks credibility.

As for that ideology that you put forth, that is completely irrational.

You can't have free thought without being rational, and free speech is fundamentally linked to freedom of thought, you can't have one without the other. There have been a number of studies that culminated in the formalization of the Whorfian Hypothesis which clarifies this link.

If you can't critically consider an alternate perspective and take what works, do you really have free thought? I don't mean just you, but in general any living cohort.

You casually point the finger at US companies, but are they really?

Sure they might be registered there initially but what of the people behind them with controlling interest.

If you look at the people behind the curtain, most companies have been sold from their initial startup phases, and the people who currently run them, I wonder how did they continue making their money after that, and their continued operation what is it dependent on? What policies are these people putting forward at their meetings like at Davos.

In almost all cases its dependent on cheap surplus labor. There's only really been one competitive option for the past few decades which appears largely by design, though is now changing.

The 'tyrant-techno-or-industry-kings', as you put it, for the most part want socialism, but they'll never say so publicly but that does not change the fact that they do so because its structurally advantageous for 'them' and only them.

They can make more profit, have less competitors, keep more of their gains, consolidate, concentrate, and accumulate more power and influence government as a form of un-elected shadow government. These are the benefits, the only benefit to not pushing for that is solidarity in the fact that they are principled people, and stability in the long view (which doesn't make a profit).

I think its worth clarifying upfront, they cease to be free-market capitalists the moment they seek undue influence over the market such as towards monopoly or oligopoly.

> The "Republic" of America ...

You're mistaken about that.

America was founded on upholding property rights, unconstrained trade, division of labor, freedom of thought, communication, and agency, and as a means to an end unseating any bastards that represent an existential threat.

We have only started having systemic troubles after changes were made that constrained, degraded, or corrupted each of those areas.
It's a very common pattern to memset to zero structs with pointers to initialize them. What happend now with this new "feature"?
I think that's a cultural thing.

In Australia, trade workers are very highly paid and generally very well respected in society (even day labourers).

In fact many envy 'tradies' as they're called, because they can outearn white-collar workers pretty easily.
Or: parts of the internets are salty, because Google didn't get the message that nowadays it is mandatory to support their shiny toy in Google's product.

Well, Chrome doesn't support bunch of things, and the world didn't end. The usual topic is, that is supports too many things actually, more than it should.
Sure, but there's no deep secrets. Take away the partisan criticisms and smarter-than-though HN commentary, and there are few surprises (unless you go deep into news coverage). Newspapers are generally best - much more scale and room than TV or other options, and the most well-regarded have reputations for good reasons. (The trick is to ingnore the opinion pages, which are often no better than long HN comments.)

* NY Times: Attacked from all sides by those in power, and for a good reason.

* Washington Post: Smaller, and if I had to say, maybe not quite up to the NY Times

* Financial Times: Expensive, but on par IMHO with the other two.

* The Guardian can be excellent, but signal-to-noise (consequential-to-not) ratio isn't as strong as the others, IMHO.

* The Economist: Free-market ideologues, but if you have to read one thing, they are most efficient. Not really journalism (they don't go out and dig up information, nor report their factual basis transparently with quotes, etc.; but short, efficient, sophisticated, very wide-ranging analysital pieces.

* Poltico: I'm not sure what I think of them; I don't trust their ownership entirely [0], but they are seriously competing with the others, at least in national/international political news.

The Wall Street Journal seems serious, but it's run by Rupert Murdoch. If people trusted the WSJ before, I don't know how they do now after the Dominion case revealed Murdoch openly manipulating reporting to favor Trump and others.

Another good options is curated news summaries. I'd look up Just Security's, for example. Politico also has some newsletters like NatSec Daily. Memeorandum can be great, if you skip over the less important stories.

The CIA has a school for intelligence analysts.[1]

"At the beginning of 2002, the courses were as following: during the first week, an introduction to intelligence topics included the history, mission and values of the CIA, as well as a unit on the history of intelligence an literature taught by the Center for The Study of Intelligence’s (CSI’s). Next, during the following five weeks, analysts are introduced to a variety of skills including analytic thinking, writing and self-editing, briefing, data analysis techniques and teamwork exercises, these representing the basic skills for a CIA analyst. After these five weeks in the classroom, the students go on a four-week interim assignment meant to help them understand how the DI relates to other CIA components, making them better understand their future role. Then, they return to the classroom for another four weeks of training in more advanced topics: writing and editing longer papers and topical modules addressing issues like denial, deceptions, indicators and warnings. These special kinds of analysis require advanced and sophisticated tradecraft skills. Afterwards, they go away again, for a second four-week interim assignment and when they return, after another four weeks in the classroom (when they deal with even more advanced topics), a task force exercise awaits them: a two days terrorist crisis simulation outside the classroom. This is an opportunity to show what they’ve learned and to see how they react in a situation that they might come across in real life."

That's a real "critical thinking" course. What they're trying to do is teach people how to
extracts facts from contradictory, incomplete, and deliberately false information.

Some of the concepts are generally useful.
Here's an overview of the subject, from the U.S. Army.[2] "The critical thinking material has been used with permission from The Foundation for Critical Thinking,

I've actually been trying to find the source about the percentage of people and may be misremembering the specifics, tbh. Listen to the podcast link I provided, it might be there. This will no doubt disproportionately impact people in rural areas and people already impacted by food deserts.

For example, I live within a few minutes drive of a QFC (Kroger) and an Albertsons, and a Safeway. If they merge, there will be 0 competition outside of a Walmart and you know how that goes...

If you get into who owns the products we consume it's even worse, this is a study that looks at a bit of both the distribution at grocery stores as well as who owns and manufacturers the food products we consume: https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11...

It's always seemed to me that dual-booting sucks because Microsoft ensure it sucks. Basically every one who wants to have a Linux distro and Windows on the same box has to work around MS being a dick. Their hope is that you give up and stick with Windows, presumably. It just makes me more keen not to use Windows.
> Lack of universal healthcare in the US isn't that big a deal to the upper-class/upper-middle class people

It's not an issue for poor people either, since they have Medicaid. Or old people, who have Medicare. Or veterans who have Tricare.

A lot of CS students need to be told this as well. If you take the bare minimum CS so that you can double major in business, don't come crying on here that CS didn't teach you anything about programming lol.
That was not the issue here though. Whether one is finitist or a Cantorian or agnostic doesn't play a role in applied math precisely because applied math doesn't require any transfinite set theory.

I haven't created Redis itself but a Redis client library. It all started with a chat server I wanted to write on top of Boost.Beast (and by consequence Boost.Asio) and at the time none of the clients available would fill my needs and wishes

- Be asynchronous and based on Boost.Asio.

- Perform automatic command pipelining [1]. All C++ libraries I looked at the time would open new connections for that, which results in unacceptable performance losses.

- Parse Redis responses directly in their final data structures avoiding extra copies. This is useful for example to store json strings in Redis and read them back efficiently.

With time I built more performance features

- Full duplex communication.

- Support for RESP3 and server pushes on the same connection that is being used for request/response.

- Event demultiplexing: It can server thousands of requests (e.g. websocket sessions) on a single connection to Redis with back pressure. This is important to keep the number of connections to Redis low and avoid latency introduced by countermeasures like [3].

This client was proposed and accepted in Boost (but not yet integrated), interested readers can find links to the review here [2].

If you bought $10 USD of it "at the time", you'd have a giant pile of USD. Who is stupid in that lack of purchase?

Also, if the colleges give out a certain amount of grants to students who can't afford the artificially high tuition, they become non-profits and can bank all that cash into their endowments. That's really the why of tuition hikes. Greed. Thanks MIT who took this to the supreme court in 91 and fucked all future generations!

Ya but for many cases there is a simpler way with less moving pieces.

React just isn't KISS by nature, or maybe it is KISS for a certain style of problems but not others.

It takes too long and has too many steps to do simple things. If all you are doing is simple things using React isn't KISS.

Yeah, I thought this conversation was open and shut many years ago and the business model of cloud provider is very clear.
Kenji, I noticed you show up once every few years on HN when your article is posted. How does that happen? Do you set up alerts? Does your publisher let you know or ask you to engage with the comments? Do you read HN any other time? Thanks.
Yeah. Also, learning C is still probably the best way to learn how raw pointers work. And pointers underpin everything - even if you spend your life in Python or Java.

When I was teaching programming, it was always a rite of passage for my students to implement a linked list in C. Once it clicked for them, the world of programming opened up.

C is also still the universal glue language for FFI. Wanna call Swift from Rust? You can always reach for C.

> but your heated response implies a resistance to at least some forms on inquiry as unacceptable or inappropriate or at a minimum worthy of disparagement

I'm trying to engage reasonably by assuming some things here, specifically that the OP has peripheral knowledge of some courses (since they haven't actually attended college recently) and they are categorizing the relatively detached nature of those courses as "a priori admiration".

I guess I could also respond by simply asking for specific examples of "a priori admiration" that the OP has seen in college courses recently. I doubt I will get any, but am open to changing my mind if I do.

I’ve been online since ‘94, don’t worry about me. I’ll figure it out eventually.
I'm interested what the format of this will be (if it ever happens).

There's never just "an algorithm", there might be a model, there might be a bunch of feature extraction code, there might be a server that runs it all, but none of these would be that useful in isolation, it's likely that all would be needed to be able to get an accurate idea of the behaviour of the system. But, as Musk says – no one really understands it all, so even then is that really useful?

What may be more useful is releasing a set of policies, or product decisions about recommendations. Not necessarily code that implements them, but the ideas and values of the system and the people building it. The code would likely only be an approximation of that, but the policies/decisions are really the part most people can or will engage with.

It's also disappointing for a video codec released in 2018. For context, in 2019 Sony released an 16k screen. Granted, that was a home cinema screen, and 16k displays will be a niche product for the forseeable future, but it's also not something unimaginably large.
