> 80% of Norwegians OWN their primary dwelling

You have to be careful with that statistic. It's not that 80% of Norwegians own their own home, it's that 80% live in a home that is owned someone in the household. So if you have a single parent, who owns a home, with 3 adult children living in one house, that statistic would say those 4 people have a 100% rate of homeownership. All countries measure it this way.

For example, Singapore has a rate of 91%. However, adults tend to live with their parents until they get married. They'd love to move out before that, but rents are sky high in Singapore, so people tend to just live with their parents. It's also pretty common to have multi-generation households.
> Pension, as far as I can tell, is used as in the us - it’s a defined benefit mechanism

My point was to draw a distinction between this and the UK (where the author of the post is). In the UK there's

- state pension (similar to social security in the US) (not the topic of this thread)

- defined benefit pensions - increasingly rare because they're expensive for the employer (some older companies and the National Health Service still have this type)

- defined contribution pensions - similar to a US 401k - you contribute some % of your salary, your employer does too, you can decide what to invest in or transfer to a different provider when you move jobs - this is still called a pension in the UK, it's the most common type of pension and it's the topic of the original post
Mass layoffs aren’t the same as revisiting a personal budget. They are fairly drastic measures.

To use your analogy, a layoff while revenue is growing is like continuing to get raises at work, but when this years raise isn’t as high as you expected, you start pawning off possessions for the cash. If times were dire, perhaps it makes sense. If you are still making money, it seems more prudent to tamp down on new purchases than to try and take back old ones.
Not to my knowledge. Here's a write-up from 2012 that still seems to be accurate today. https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/12/css-baseline-the-go...
If you ever find yourself in New Bedford, I cannot recommend the whaling museum highly enough.

Fun fact: Clifford Ashley of Ashley's Book of Knots (ABOK) was also a painter. The museum has some of his work in their collection.

Also: if you have any interest in whaling and haven't read Moby Dick, you really ought to. People will complain that it's principally a book about whaling with a bit of story mixed in. That's true, but it turns out whaling is fascinating.

Imagine a world without whales. If JK Rowling had written a book about people sailing to the far side of the world to hunt sea creatures whose heads are full of substance that looks suspiciously like semen, nobody would have published it because it would be too unrealistic.
The people I personally know who got over depressions and processed traumatic experiences from their childhood would disagree.
> Why would you want that, rather than just hitting 'r' or whatever?

I think it's more engaging/immersive not because it's more realistic, but rather because it adds nuance to the action and makes it more of a skill to be learned. The lows of the "oh shit" moment of flubbing a reload in the middle of a firefight and the highs of pulling off a perfectly timed John Wick-esque reload in the middle of a firefight are much more intense than just tapping a button.

It's a more embodied version of the "reload bar" mechanic in some games where you can just hit the reload button for a normal reload or hit it twice with good timing to get a better/faster reload, but if you miss the sweet spot you get a worse/slower reload.
Absolutely, but like I mentioned in the prior post, these are local privescs. You basically need to go out and install malicious apps.

If you can use Windows without it getting full of malware, you can handle unpatched Android LPEs too.

If we found signs of extraterrestrial life somewhere in the universe, I think governments would celebrate. The president of the United States would try to be in the meeting where it was announced just so his face would be on every story about it.
i just thought this through building my new PC and house. The bottleneck is always the NIC because the most you can do right now is like 10gbe for conventional motherboards.

After that you also run into cabeling issues. Cat 8 for instance also only does 40gbe max, which means for any more you need to bundle up connections which comes with its own problems.

Another point is that while mining, gpus still are independent and not connected to each other. so each of them are restricted to the max your PCIe port will give you too.

PCIe 4.0 has a maximum data transfer rate of 16 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) per lane, which translates to 2 GB/s (gigabytes per second) per lane. PCIe 4.0 can support up to 16 lanes, which means that it can provide a maximum data transfer rate of 32 GB/s (gigabytes per second) in each direction (upstream and downstream) on a x16 slot.

I can tell you're not going to make it past this HN post.
As hhh already said, it was free for a long time. In addition it costs a fortune to run their models. They've mentioned as much on twitter a few times now.

Their compute is provided by Microsoft and they've got investors but even with the new premium plan its extremely unlikely they are making anything close to enough to cover their costs.

Eventually OpenAI will likely be absorbed by Microsoft as they are betting heavily on their tech and have made waves about significant investments followed by a significant ownership stake.

This article covers things fairly well: https://archive.is/qMUPH

For some more (pre GPT-4) cost estimates this article is on the mark: https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-techn...

At $0.0003 per word (will be more with GPT-4 as its a model that requires more resources to run) their costs were over $100K per day back in December. Given how much it's taken off since then we're likely into well over $1 million per day now. The subscription service obviously isnt going to make that much for a long, long time, if ever.

In 2021 they lost over $500 million as well so Microsofts $10bn investment will cover them for a few years but will take some doing to recoup.
>> What is it about teaching that makes people with no training think they can do better than trained professionals?

Teaching one or two students whose home situation supports you 100% is a much much less daunting proposition than trying to teach a class of 30 kids (or several such classes).

The idea that teaching things to your own children (which all humans have done forever) requires specialized training and credentials seems silly. But again, that's a very different job than being a school teacher, I think.

Specific performance is most common in real property disputes because land is inherently non-fungible. But in most US states a court can order it wherever it finds that monetary damages are inadequate to remedy a breach.
I’ve wondered about this, and can’t help but feel that what’s missing are good solid foundations from which webdev and general programming skills could build out everything we’d need to migrate from latex. I would bet the community would move pretty fast if the foundations were there, but I’m not sure there’s anyone with the requisite expertise and will and resources to build it.

The thing is that a crisis like this is inherently deflationary! Or at least has a strong negative impact on the business cycle.

> they allowed enough banks to fail.

There really were not a lot of "bank fails and depositors lose money" events. Ones I can think of were Kaupthing (for some reason a lot of UK local government were keeping their money in an Icelandic bank), and Cyprus (deemed too dodgy to bailout).

There was a lot of fiscal policy tightening ("austerity"), the other lever which people forget about.

On the demo they have previous visits from your fingerprint listed (so you can get an idea of how common the fingerprint is... at least once enough people have tried the demo).

> If they refuse to provide source code, they are not abiding by the terms of the license

This is at best a simplification. The most common case is that a company has two options: Either provide the source code alongside every copy of the program, so that every recipient of the program has the source code already, or, alongside the program, provide a written offer, valid for three years, to provide source code on request. This offer, while required if the company chooses this option, is not part of the license! If a company does not provide source code on request, they have broken the promise provided by the offer, not the license, and can be sued for simply failing to uphold their promise. It then does not matter what the original licence says, or who the copyright holders are.

And, of course, if a company provides neither the source code, nor such an offer of source code, they have already broken the license, and can be sued immediately; there is no need for anyone to request the source code. Doing so is just something many people do as an act of pure courtesy.
The Heatwave of 1995

The study [0] says it's mainly 3 things.

(1) Rising prices in systemically significant upstream sectors due to commodity market dynamics or bottlenecks create
windfall profits and provide an impulse for further price hikes.

(2) To protect profit margins from rising costs, downstream sectors propagate, or in cases of temporary monopolies due to
bottlenecks, amplify price pressures.

(3) Labor responds by trying to fend off real wage declines in the conflict stage.

So they say that the sellers’ inflation generates a general price rise which may be transitory, but can also lead to self-sustaining inflationary spirals under certain conditions.

I see something similar with ChatGPT too... it seems to forget a previous constraints and jumps to the generic. In my example, I was trying to generate an ffmpeg command line that given a source file will, during transcode, generate stereo audio even if the source file had no audio (so basically output a blank audio stream). It kept using 0:a in the complex filter and I would ask it what would happen if there was no audio stream in the input file? It would actually correct itself but something else would break in the fix. I would point out something else was wrong and it would fix that but reintroduce 0:a.
I used to drink with big-shot lawyers a lot[1], and have heard a number of stories.

Basically, there are a lot of situations in which lawyers will create a “do not fire” list. The lists generally have an expiration date, but not always.

In this particular case, it could be that state/local laws make it legally problematic to fire someone before they start work. So you have to let them work for a few weeks or months before letting them go. And if the people tracking this list get let go, it could be months or maybe years before they get it all sorted out and let the person go.

One of the posts in that Reddit thread talks about a guy at a manufacturing company who is apparently paid to sit at a desk and do nothing. Well, in some places, you can’t successfully pursue a workers comp claim if the company gives you a desk job at the same salary. So it’s possible that guy got hurt on the factory floor years ago and is now paid his hourly factory worker salary until he retires, and all he has to do is be nice and not sexually harass anyone.

[1] law partners like to “buy” entire tables at charity events, and then expect the associates to fill the chairs. But at the same time, give them so much work they can’t go. I managed to get on a list of people that could show up to events downtown in a nice tuxedo with an hour or two notice, and not be embarrassing.

I can’t remember clearly, but I think the prior version of the touch screen may have used Windows CE. I’m not sure why Deere pivoted to Linux, but it may have had better support for their custom boards or they might have seen the writing on the wall for Windows CE (according to Wikipedia, its final release was in 2013 while the new touch screen debuted in 2014 if memory serves).

Deere is a big Windows shop and it was not fun trying to develop for Linux in a VMWare VM, and corporate IT seemed to have special prejudice for our unit for deviating from the standard Windows suite.

The author is actually underselling CSS for rendering PDF layouts. Of course, if you just do a static book, you are probably better off with software like InDesign. But if you need PDFs with dynamic and complex content (e.g. info documents with graphs, tables, dynamic text) then HTML/CSS is actually pretty great.

As he mentions, unfortunately the CSS3 Paged Media spec is not very well-supported by major browsers, though other tools do implement it.

I actually started to love CSS much more when I had to use another code-based solution: LaTeX. LaTeX is great for equations and automatic bibliography, but not for much else. If you ever tried to merely style a minimally complex table in LaTeX, you know what I mean. You actually see in major research papers that people sometimes just give up and include a screenshot of their table. LaTeX has no inherent distinction between structure and design, like HTML+CSS, which generates incredibly inelegant bloat code, like writing and styling a website in pure HTML without any CSS. Moreover, there often is no consistent syntax in LaTeX, and most everything can only be achieved with some sort of hackish package someone put together years ago without proper documentation. HTML and CSS are a breeze in comparison. CSS features like Flexbox or Grid let you do complex dynamic layouts in a few minutes, which are so difficult in LaTeX that most users would just throw the towel.

The local council estimates we can only add 0.29% to the population YoY
Hmm if I'm understanding this correctly, (and recalling correctly,) there was a chapter at the end of Kleppner & Kolenkow that dealt with this in the n=2 case: Basically assume the solution is a power series and truncate it past x^2. Well, you know how to solve diffeq's like this, so do it and see the solutions. This was offered as a reason why so many things display periodic or seemingly periodic behavior. If the perturbations (x) are small enough to ignore the terms above x^3, then it's just like the spring equations with dampening/forcing.

I was wondering the same. I might be misremembering, but I think early versions of the touch screen used Windows CE, and development on the new touchscreen (the only instance of Linux I’m aware of in John Deere’s ag lineup) started sometime around 2010 (depending on when you measure “started”), so Windows CE was still alive, but maybe there was some writing on the wall that it was being shuttered?
I recall back in 1990 when PBS aired, “The KGB, the Computer, and Me”. I was a freshman in high school and immediately fell in love with the documentary. I recorded it on VHS and watched it numerous times. I was already into computers, we had an IBM PC jr and I was fascinated by it. This story made me want to learn more and dive into technology even more.

I recently, within last few years finally picked up the book and read it. It is just a great story. I feel like everything Cliff said, in certain aspects, we still deal with today. I highly recommend the book and watching the documentary.
