Free markets are excellent in picking which shoe store ought to succeed and how many are needed in town. Setting by regulation a list of thou shalt and thou shalt not for various industries isn't communism nor authoritarianism its a normal function of government. The fact that you can't tell the difference virtually disqualifies you from further discussion. Nothing incidentally is self regulating.
This is just another one of those reasons I just can't use Debian responsibly.

Backport hacks always come back to bite you in the end when your distro is running unsupported software, and it feels like I see something at least annually about Debian's "ensure everything is old so all bugs are predictable" ends up just causing pain.
Pain research is front and center for many companies. Look at the Nav1.7 programs - many big pharmaceutical companies are working on them.

I disagree 100% it's not a priority. The companies know they could make a ton of money off of an effective, but more safe pain medicine.
No, there was no empathy for them. And I feel there's no real empathy for artists, either.

Before the eeeevil robot came to be, no one gave much of a damn about artists or their opinion. Suddenly we are instrumental to humanity's culture, but people is too busy spreading hatred to listen to any artists that aren't in agreement, what makes me feel it's less about being an artist and more about being emotionally-charged "useful idiots" for anti-AI agendas.

Have you seen AI outputs carefully? I have for the last seven months, and if an artist can be replaced by it, maybe that artist deserves it. I say this as an artist, 36 years of experience.

The worst is that this will be considered a hot take and mean-spirited by the immensely biased HN crowd, but lifeless art can be replaced by lifeless art, and that's the artist's fault for just coasting from check to check without putting much effort, therefore producing empty, emotionless art. We all know this, we all call it out when it happens, but for some reason this entire AI topic is making people forget it's a thing.

This is no different from that lazy guy at the office that just does the bare minimum to not get fired. Getting rid of them may give a more talented and unique but less popular artist a chance to get a job.
Gp said home but the article he links to is talking about houses.
I'm going through the same thing. I spent the last year constantly ill, barely able to get out of bed. Day 5 of probiotics with each meal, and I'm rediscovering my creative enthusiasm.
What do mean "not as effective"? For what?

And I'm not sure what your point is. Acetaminophen is very effective for lots of pain. And it doesn't kill as many people.

Before meds, I could barely shower once every 6 months. I would starve for hours before I was able to get any food for myself. I would sleep 12+ hours each night, and couldn't keep a 24 hour schedule. I dropped out of school, I lost 3 jobs, I would constantly acquire new hobbies only to lose them forever.

I was unhappy. Depressed, anxious, and I felt lazy and bored. I couldn't do the things I wanted, like art practice, because I would get bored and depressed and sad that I wasn't already skilled. I could tell that there was executive dysfunction, but I didn't know what it was called and I didn't know that it was a sign of ADHD.

But once I found the right meds my whole world turned around. Suddenly I feel way better. I feel more in control. I don't feel nearly as dissociated or dysphoric as I used to. I can practice art for hours and end up with things that I can actually be proud of, because I didn't give up. I can sleep 6-8 hours each night without overshooting. I can shower and do chores without much fuss.

It's like my life has been given back to me and I can finally do what I've always been capable of. Like my brain has somehow been unlocked.

But all that goes right back away when I run out of meds each month and have to wait days and days for a pharmacy to get their next shipment.

Can't imagine how much worse it is for people who have to wait months for brand-name Adderall or Vyvanse. I'm lucky to be taking generic "dextroamphetamine sulfate ER" which doesn't seem to be as affected by the shortages.
TSMC’s headquarters are across the street from a rival UMC fab

Anyone know of a good way I can listen to this article?
Perhaps Foucault could make things a bit clearer, which as philosophy goes, the clear is always muddier, muddled with more questions: "I don't say the things I say because they are what I think, I say them as a way to make sure they no longer are what I think. [...] To be really certain that from now on, outside of me, they are going to live or die in such a way that I will not have to recognize myself in them." [1]

One other thing, pertaining to philosophers and learning, is to account for the distinction between "learning" and "training" or even "taming". Learning is something which comes from inside, Plato would call it anamnesis [2], a kind of remembering of innate knowledge, having Socrates show that a slave already knew mathematics in the dialogue Meno. Whereas, training and taming are always outside pressures.

This is one of the reasons why Plato hated sophists, or if he could, despised the self-help literature of today: help, knowledge, learning can only come from inside [3]. This is also why Plato would say "machine learning" is a misnomer, the machine doesn't learn from an inside, but it is forced by us, the outside, to learn, even in unsupervised learning, it's actually "machine training". [4]

Hence why Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard (and even Heidegger) advise against thinking that one can learn to be from someone else: authenticity is a process, not a fact.

[1] From minute 14, but the whole interview is interesting, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzoOhhh4aJg

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamnesis_(philosophy)

[3] An example of this in micro would be a transistor (or a voltage-gated ion channel): once they establish their form, being able to switch states between 0 and 1, suddenly they have access to an entire new realm, the truth table, which was always there, somewhere (Plato would call this ἰδέα, form, idea [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%B0%CE%B4%CE%AD%CE%B1]).

[4] Just to get political for a second: this is also why "police training" and "military training" will only produce sociopathic, murderous, PTSD-stricken shells of a human being: an external force, the state, the tradition, sociopathic leaders, sociopathic societies, is obliterating any sense of internal learning, from empathic de-escalation to removal of the preconditions of violence altogether.

>> The result will be that mediocrity takes over because the AI will be in charge of the boilerplate, which is often the foundation for the rest of your code.

Your take is interesting, but I'll provide an alternate point of view from my experience.

I have spent my career working in a low-code environment. There's a boiler plate framework into which people add code.

Since most of all programs are similar (data in, data stored, data processed, data out etc) this allows for high productivity because almost all time is spent on things that are unique to the domain space, not programming the common stuff. It means individual programmers, and very small teams, have written and maintain huge systems.

But what's interesting to me is the boilerplate code. My career has been spent improving the underlying boilerplate, and extending it to new feature areas. This turns out to be a great lever. Improve the boiler-plate and _existing_ programs get better, with minimal effort. Sometimes no effort.

It's kinda like the way I get TLS 1.3 support simply by upgrading my OpenSSL libraries. But at a source level. Which is then retro-applied to existing source code.

Instead of being mediocrity the goal is to always keep improving the boilerplate because that in turn improves a lot of programs.

I say this not to tell you nothing will change. It will change. But change in programming is fun. It stretches the mind, and opens up new horizons. The AI can write code, but that just becomes the next tool, like IDEs were, like code complete, online help or Stackoverflow. I didn't have any of those things growing up, but their introductions allow me to dream bigger, be better, make more.

AI is an opportunity for those with eyes to see.
> but one issue could be that I might loose the ability to be highly opinionated about the evolution of the product

I hate to be that person, but you're pitching an app for authors, developed by yourself who is a self-described author, and you're mixing up 'loose' and 'lose' :-(

In any other context, this wouldn't matter, and with actual typos it wouldn't matter, but in this context with this particular word, it does reflect negatively.

> I think in this space where there are already a ton of "do a lot of things halfway decently" products, being opinionated about what Lunette is and is not could be key to its success.

You're quite correct. Having a narrow focus on the goal is better than trying to be all things to all people, otherwise sooner or later you're going to be fielding requests from people who used it to write the business docs and need non-book related features.

I am also doing something similar (am not really an author, made a few hundred dollars with self-published books and short stories a decade ago and then moved on), and I have an even narrower focus than you do.
> The rule of thumb with acetaminophen is to know the rules.

You should not expect everyone to be as chemistry-inclined as you.

My friend recently recommended a Walgreens med. It was generic Zyrtec. I told him that I had been using Zyrtec. He told me it wasn't zyrtec, and when I discussed the active ingredient with him, he just said the Walgreens bottle one works better, because he is ignorant and chemical names are meaningless to him.

Your comment is blatantly obtuse. People don't know the rules, they're not nerds, they don't know the difference between Advil, Tylenol, aspirin, Aleve, etc. Not everyone enjoys memorizing chemical names, and knows that Tylenol=Acetaminophen=Paracetamol=whatever.

You can't buy Nyquil, Robitussin, or Mucinex without getting acetaminophen in it. Recently sick, I scoured a pharmacy for Guaifenesin WITHOUT acetaminophen and was unable to find it, in fact Mucinex nighttime is literally tylenol and a random antihistamine... Mucinex has abandoned its main ingredient for acetaminophen.

A desperate night at the pharmacy will show you that acetaminophen is everywhere. People are not interested in reading chemical names that mean nothing to them, and we should be more interested in health outcomes than saying that someone who can't keep track of chemical formulas deserves liver damage.
I once wrote a command called trickle-rm, which was designed to be an i/o constrained rm, this the exact opposite of this article. I needed trickle-rm because after extensive analysis, I'd found that the i/o load of a diagnostic data cleanup job was interfering with the very tight latency requirements of the main app on the server. My first effort was "nice rm -rf $oldLogs". When I'm feeling a bit evil I will ask an interview candidate why that didn't work.

Always something interesting to learn at the margins
Very impressive. I wondered how this could possibly work, but it actually only does fixed circular orbits by dead reckoning
I watch my son play Roblox sometimes. The chat is heavily censored.

He also learned most countries, their capitals, and their flags. And that was just a few servers with "country balls".

I find the YouTube videos involving those far more insidious, because children don't really understand biting sarcasm and satire as well as adults, and I'll often make him switch videos.

But I haven't noticed anything necessarily harmful about Roblox.

Then again, don't they make like a billion dollars a year?

I'm more upset that they screw content creators so badly that the "bullying and peer pressure" seems to be necessary.

Roblox is one of those things that seems impossible on a technical level. And with a billion dollars, they could hire social workers, moderators, etc.

If you are in Germany and are complaining about the cashless options, you're in the wrong place. That is a cultural thing for them. [Less so since in the last few years]

Also, it's hard to complain that the difficultly for getting DeutscheKabel, DT, or 1&1 off their rear ins is a mark against the country.

Yes, I use this trick at work to remove the generated build directory.

It’s pretty unusual that we have people approach residential real estate in this hyper-financialized way. It’s a weird 1930s way to inject liquidity, and we have better tools now.

An individual is fucked if something happens to crater the price of their house. Nobody hedges, really. It’s a toxic system.

I was convinced federal courts wouldn't allow states to collect sales tax on out-of-state purchases (or at least say states can't enforce it), that seems to be ok.
Demand for homes may exceed supply but ask what that demand really is.

A big chunk of that demand is for 2nd or 3rd or even 4th properties as investment rental properties. Can’t afford a house in the sf Bay Area, no problem, go buy 4 investment properties in the Midwest! I know people who’ve done that.

Also look what houses are built, they aren’t starter homes in many areas. They are “luxury” (luxury per home marketers, sq ft, and price, I won’t go down the rabbit hole of what I personally think).
I dunno, many of the best authors burn out writing long stories and will even mention time/personal issues.

An LLM doesn't have to write it for them, it can just speed things up.
IA doesn't want to destroy its own books, because it warehouses them in climate-controlled spaces so that it can re-scan them with improved technology in the future. That should hardly preclude (controlled) lending of scans of its own physical books that nobody is using, even under current draconian copyright law.

FTFY
Techically, you're right but it's often grouped with them. I like to view it living in no-man's-land as a cast off from NSAIDs as its chemical origins are so similar to the former. Little wonder the confusion.

I'd add that confusion is only compounded when it's mixed with NSAIDs such aspirin and ibuprofen. Such mixtures are pretty popular.
> When you put out new hardware and a new operating system and multiple pieces of software don't work that's hardly the developer's fault.

Again, software bugs are only ever the developer's responsibility. It is not ever ever possible in any universe for a hardware manufacturer and os vendor to fix any developers' bugs. Apple is responsible for their hw working, and their os working. These work fine and continue to work fine even if an application crashes. Any application that chokes on Mac and/or macOS, or any hardware or any OS, can only be remedied by the developer of that application, namely, by fixing their bugs.
Some people love being controlled
in the other hand this will enable developers without art skills to produce their indie games with a professional-looking art on their own.
Remember the time Facebook blocked news in Australia?
TTP/Global Entry sort of fixes this. What really fixes it is flying private. Unfortunately, that's doesn't do much to help the carbon problem.

The real difference now is that flying is too affordable. It used to be, only the rich could fly.

What we need to do is make air travel much, much more expensive, out of the reach of most people except on special occasions, and we can go back to having (1) less unnecessary carbon emissions from people flying to Disneyland or whatever shitty resort they spend their vacations at, and (2) very short waits at the airport for people who need to get somewhere in a hurry and can afford it.

Environmental and efficiency problem solved.
if we’re talking passenger miles per gallon then commercial planes are often more efficient than vehicular transport, especially when considering vehicles with only 1 or 2 passengers
Redis does fairly well single-threaded - iirc it does better than Milvus. The problem is, once you move to larger applications and want higher performance, its architectural limitations make it impossible to scale.
If you have a second home at 3% that means your first home is paid off. You wouldn’t get that rate for an income property.

There are several good reasons for selling it, mostly emergency or retirement reasons. I would keep it and rent it. Inflation is more than double that 3%, “officially”.

What a great problem to have.

Anecdotal data, regarding value drops. I’m in a 30 fixed at 3% in Arkansas. Houses I was looking at in a new subdivision were around $410 when I was looking, this time 2020. They are now in the $700s, and that’s with the current interest rate. So 3 years of mortgage payments, down payments, you’re looking at an outstanding balance on the loan of… around $300k?

The value drop people think needs to happen probably won’t ever happen. Especially since the USD is turning into Monopoly money due to terrible fiscal policy.
And to be totally, ridiculously pedantic (this is HN after all) mv is a single atomic metadata operation in the filesystem, which will almost certainly go into the filesystem log without any wait on i/o. A big rm is going to generate enough metadata churn that the filesystem log will need to be synced to hardware at least once, and then you've got 2 or 3 orders of magnitude more time to wait (per sync).
HN commiserating kids killing themselves due to social media last week

HN complaining about a state doing something about it this week
Mind-blowing. Really let's one imagine the possibilities in the future or even now.
+1. As an Indian kid growing up in a very conservative family/neighborhood I can attest that what I have learned and have helped me in becoming successful was all through my peers and books (mostly fiction). If I had no access to those and had purely followed what my parents prescribed, I would have been a very different individual and most likely, would not have pursued computer science. More than anything, succees or otherwise, peer learning and learning on my own was and still continues to be the emblem of freedom.

There surely is a downside to this, that this self learning can veer you off in a sub optimal direction of laziness, procrastination, lost concentration etc, as experienced in today's social media. However, it's better to bet the odds on freedom of individuals than on oversight.
Another explanation is that the average new house costs more than it used to. Housebuilders have chosen to build bigger homes at a higher finish level because there's more profit in it. New affordable housing is becoming rarer.
„npm enterprise“

You can run an in-house npm repository with that sold by Npm Inc.

I don’t know how sustainable it is but that’s probably one of their cash cows.
No one else does.

When I shutdown I would like a shutdown sig to be sent to my database and then continue once it gets a successful response. No one wants that to just be killed because that would cause data loss.

When I shutdown I want my filesystem synced so things mid-write don't experience data loss.

The problem is badly written scripts that keeps sending a "one more min" response. But you could override that if you actually cared instead of just whining.
If you say you're a pianist, and others ask you to play, and turns out you can't play a single song properly -- chances are, some of them will now look at you as a bit of a poor judgement fool.

If one is fine with that, then yes, call oneself a pianist I guess?

Personally I'd say I was "learning to play the piano".

Or what about someone says: "I'm a Software Engineer" ... but then can't write the first characters in a FizzBuzz solution and wonders "what's a for loop?"
You’re correct but you’re also missing the point. If law enforcement outright says that they won’t show up to enforce a law, there isn’t a difference between following that law and breaking it. You face the same consequences.
One of the museums has one of the early aircraft based mechanical inertial guidance systems on display. Seems it was two or three or four times larger than this. It would be interesting to find a similarly detailed analysis of how those things operated.
That makes zero sense. Do you think those rental units disappear off the market? There isnone unified housing market, rent and buy. People can still rent if they can’t buy.

Building more will inevitably fix the housing market, even if one investor owns every single new house.
> Mucinex nighttime is literally tylenol and a random antihistamine... Mucinex has abandoned its main ingredient for acetaminophen

Ummm? Looks like Dextromethorphan is still a listed active ingredient. Sure it has an added antihistamine and Acetaminophen, but that’s hardly “abandoning its main ingredient”.

My educated guess based on science I've read:

A combination of a probiotic juice containing postbiotic metabolites(they're what maintains a healthy microbiome) with a high dose(billions of CFU) freeze dried one might be optimal. I strongly suspect that taking them with each meal to give them a competitive advantage in colonizing food during transit and subsequently deposition onto colon walls is beneficial.

Response to individual strains is highly dependent on your existing microbiome, so just try whatever contains a decent variety of at least lactobacillus and bifidobacter strains. I've had luck with JoyDay probiotic juice concentrate plus Swanson's Ultimate 16 strain one.
