I am not fully persuaded there is shortage. People could not get what they want is more about price not availability. That because manufacturers made too many things customers don’t need. Base on Q4 IC companies report, most of product driven companies, like Intel and AMD sales less than last year. However OEM like TMSC actually produces more and had more revenue.
Using electricity uses electricity..
If they limit our ability to block ads in general, I am going to dramatically reduce my Internet usage even more than I am doing now. The Internet is bad enough already as a platform for enabling mass surveillance and social control. Time to start doing more offline things, such as experimenting with AI on my local computer. To you fascists at GCHQ and other government "thought police" agencies, try stopping that now... Especially a mass movement where many people decide to pull the plug, in the name of intellectual freedom.
I have a Lexmark E232 that bought back in 2006. I’ve printed like 90k pages and still works like a charm.
I cringe each time that I hear a foreigner complain about China's Three Gorges Dam as an "environmental damage". The number of people who have died from floods on those rivers in the last 2000 years in mind-boggling. Yes, it generates a lot of electricity, but it is dual purpose to also control flooding.

People can live without electricity, but it's difficult to live without water.

This part is also interesting. While traveling in developing countries in East/South/Southeast Asia, the driest places and always the poorest. The only way to overcome is irrigation. The wealthiest places find a way to move water from wet lands to dry lands.

A broader version of this is only working on a single project for the whole day, or the whole week (if you have multiple projects to work on).

But you don't realize the name of the game in government is to "reasonably sabotage" projects to safeguard the existence of your own position. The costs this leads to are absolutely amazing because you cannot do anything, ever, anywhere. In one position I was baffled, but contacting someone reporting to me ... took a week. And not because he was being hired or on vacation.

This is why the government uses outside contractors in the first place.
This would have happened a bit earlier if the most efficient and long-lasting solar panels, monocrystalline silicon, had been developed by US manufacturers instead of by Chinese ones. All the tariffs applied by state and federal regulators on the import of these panels have been about slowing the rate of solar PV production in the USA on behalf of the fossil fuel and investor-owned utility sectors.

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2018/04/14/the-weekend-read-chin...

Claims that these tariffs have some human rights motivations are nonsensical, would the US block imports of Saudi oil over human rights abuses there? Of course not - but silicon solar panels, oh my!

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/exclusive-us-blocks-more...

It's no surprise that the pushback by politicians owned by investors in fossil fuels and utilities has been so intense - energy is one of the most lucrative investments, and it's rather difficult to control and meter the flow of sunlight to homes, in comparison to natural gas or crude oil.

Notably, the USA has no R & D programs or subsidy programs like the CHIPS act (for semiconductors for computation, not for power production) aimed at rapidly expanding monocrystalline silicon production.
Women are more 'equal' to men in France than in Japan/Korea, and yet we have higher birthrate (even when you count out first and second gen immigrants).

And equality shouldn't be the goal anyway, emancipation is the only way to make life bearable for every woman (not just the top10%).
I am really starting to hate this kind of journalism.

There is a real story here, the gender inequality in South Korea. But it is dressed up into a ridiculous bunch of nonsense and portrayed as some kind of country wide "gender war", trying to evoke intense emotions in the reader.

Why cannot one just be factual and informative instead?
The soundtrack is from the movie, but Breaking the Waves was not a Dogme movie.
It has been implemented to a degree that it is useful for most users. For instance, you can now map Control-I and Tab separately, as well as keys like Control-1, Control-2, Control-;, etc.
> Their eyes were the clue. The pupil initially constricts when participants are shown the two options. The time it takes for the pupil to subsequently dilate reflects the amount of mental exerted. The pupil-dilation times of participants assigned hard tasks fell off significantly as the experiment progressed

Maybe tracking pupil dilation time with your webcam can give you a live reading of how tired you are or how much you're exerting yourself at a given task. I'd pay for this.
Very encouraging!

Including hydro in the renewables column made the math work. Makes it seem like we've made more progress than perhaps we have. Hydro and wind are the biggest chunks in their pie chart. And much of hydro is decades, if not centuries old infrastructure.

But still! Lots of progress.
Ironically most renewables are far more distributed and local than something like gas plants. Instead of maintaining continent-spanning supply chains you can just put your panels up and leave them for a decade or two.

Only bad or new software developers update software. Pin your dependencies, don't use new protocols, Snow Leopard was the last good macOS version. Library doesn't work on the newest Node or Python version? Who cares, it's only been out for half a year who's even using it yet? Some people spent hundreds of hours making something better, why would you want to use the result?
The net number (669 million) looks wrong. India's population is around 1.4 billion, so this would mean a data leak of nearly 1 in 2 Indians. If we further remove children below 14 (30% of India) who are unlikely to have data of their own and others who are completely off any of the data leak sources, the number given here would mean everyone in India has had their data leaked!

The data distribution given in the article seems to add to approximately 7 crores (70 million). I think there is a misplaced decimal somewhere. In all probability it is 6.69 crores (66.9 million). Still very significant, though.

I have a hard time believing a VC pretended to be altruistic. When did they pretend to have a selfless concern for others (altruism)?
Japan is strongly monocultural which is used both by its government and its corporate culture to exploit the population so I'm not sure your argument passes the smell test.
It measures runtime, but not reliably, multiple runs of the same code can report very different runtimes. My impression is the focus is mostly on getting the time complexity right.
> BEAM doesn't support mutation, the JVM does. that's a big plus in the BEAMs corner.

The JVM supports languages with mutation or without. That x86 supports mutation doesn't hinder, say, Haskell from being efficiently compiled to it.

> Also when two BEAM VM speak to each other its as if they are just one machine. no serialization de serialization of data, no protobufs, etc. It's all just primitives being sent between processes regardless of their location.

There is no need for that protocol to be built into the VM . The JVM is a lower-level VM than BEAM (parts of the runtime, like the thread scheduler and even one of the JITs are written in Java).

I have the utmost respect for Erlang's design, and have borrowed inspiration from it. It is truly a towering achievement. But BEAM simply doesn't have anywhere near the level of investment required to be a leading platform. I wish there was more demand for it, but there isn't.
Yeah, SoftRAM 95 was possibly the first instance of what is now known as app store spam: a heavily-advertised app that does literally nothing, but comes with significant side-effects to the stability of your system.

Despite leading Windows internals experts calling this already when the product came out (e.g. SoftRAM95: "False and Misleading": https://ftp.st.ryukoku.ac.jp/pub/published/oreilly/windows/w...), many hobbyist pundits continued to insist this was actually a valuable product. No idea if they were paid or not, but I'm sort-of afraid they really weren't.

Another instance in this category of vaporware is SpinRite. When MFM disk controllers were a thing, this tool could actually fix errors (by physically rewriting sectors) and optimize performance (by changing sector interleave). However, once IDE came along, that was all practically impossible: yet, recommendations to "fix your problem by running SpinRite" persisted pretty much into the next decade.
My website also ended up in Safe Browsing list for some reason, and instead of registering on Google, I started to make an example of it to my friends to disable that Safe Browsing feature in their browser.

Because culture is not determined by governments and election outcomes do not mean women want oppression to continue.

The condition would be the same no matter if liberals or conservatives are in power.
What is conscious choice for you? I really interested in your opinion, is it like few days spent with some other OS, few weeks, few months?

Few weeks doing different tasks, or few months watching video on youtube on each OS?

Few days reading technical info about how OS works on low level, or reading articles about OS philosophy and general direction?

This is actually a really great point. Practically speaking, the internet "lives" on Earth and the communication latency grows the further away from it you travel.

24 minutes between Earth and Mars isn't horrible (although that is a 48 minute round trip to get an answer) but if people were living in a colony then even the current generation of LLM AIs could significantly improve daily life.
Please don't give advice like this. Everything people publish on hackernews stays online forever and it's not that hard to associate with real people.

GPT5 or 6 can just get this data with a simple question in the near future.
“Single mothers are stigmatized, doctors refuse to give IVF to women without a male partner—even though it’s not illegal—and out-of-wedlock births represent only 2% of the total, compared to the average of 41% for women in the OECD. Marriage and childbirth are closely intertwined; women are pressured to sacrifice their career once they have a child or get married."

Also NASA is a former of it's self, funding wise.

This would ideally fit a crook, and he could then mine the system from the inside I would assume.
> it seems no one has come to identifying the cause of wage gap.

That's because there is no discernible wage gap. There is an earnings differential that has been pretty much fully explained.

For example here, fairly comprehensively: "both men and women unconsciously make trade-offs that affect how much they earn. Farrell clearly defines the 25 different workplace choices that affect women's and men's incomes -- including putting in more hours at work, taking riskier jobs or more hazardous assignments, being willing to change location, and training for technical jobs that involve less people contact -- and provides readers with specific, research-supported ways for women to earn higher pay."

https://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Earn-More-Startling/dp/154275...

But there are many other sources. One example was a study of wages at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which has completely codified/rigid pay structure and still managed to "discriminate" against women, pretty much at the same rate as the national "gender pay gap". How? The men did more overtime, more shifts at inconvenient times etc.

In fact, given all the evidence, as far as I can tell it is overexplained.

Alas, this doesn't fit The Narrative™.

In Russian, the word "биллион" is mainly of historic interest: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B8...

Since Russia uses a short-scale system, the word is no longer in use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
I don't necessarily disagree, but this kind of cynical energy is literally not helping much. It's too easy to piss on personal pet peeves in the tech world while claiming it's a zero sum game with monumentally complex social problems that almost everyone would love to "solve" if they could. It's quite possible to help ease the suffering of others while also being excited about a new JS framework, machine learning, etc.
It’s a tough problem and the fact that in 2023 there is no defacto solutions is a good indicator. Certainly there are contenders and they’ll be commented here. In my experience selling a cross platform shareware app around 2010 (when that was still a thing) the best practice if you wanted a consistent user experience was to use the platform native framework and make the application code as modular and independent as possible. My sense is that is mostly the same today.
In America, driving is far and away the best UX. You go where you want when you want with up to four passengers even in a very small starter car. With the exception of Manhattan and a few other big cities, cost per mile is far lower than transit. Obviously traffic sucks. Nobody likes traffic. I refuse to sit in traffic unless I am picking someone up from the airport.

Even in the UK, it's often cheaper to drive. The other day I drove into Central London (!) from Cambridge in a VW Polo. I calculated the cost per mile, including the car depreciation and the onerous and ever-increasing vehicle tax, and it was STILL a far better deal than the train.

Not to mention the non-negligible chance of an encounter with a risky, mentally ill passenger on transit. My wife was harassed by a man with piss-soaked sweatpants on the SF Bart and nearly missed her flight because she had to get off early. And that ticket was not cheap. I've been called homophobic and racial slurs on the London tube, for wearing short shorts on the way to go play squash. OF COURSE these events are few and far between but in my car they never happen.

Despite this, the subway is still a better UX in Manhattan and London. When I'm in these places I don't drive (obviously). In the Randstad, I also never drive. Because the UX is great. When I'm in my home in North Carolina, I drive everywhere. It's great. Everything is 10 minutes away. There's always parking. Massive boost to quality of life.

Cars are not some revelations-esque phenomenon and parking lots do not "eat" anything. They can always be converted to decks, as they literally always are when the demand is there. There is nothing wrong with that.
I think the supply shortage was not at the high end but the much larger volume & lower priced parts.

from the article:

> For three consecutive years, the country has had the lowest fertility rate in the world, with an average of 0.78 children per woman. [...] The country is on alert, since an average of 2.1 children per woman is estimated to be necessary to keep the population stable. In 2020, the number of deaths exceeded the number of births in South Korea. Many cities are at risk of disappearing in the coming years.

you're going to have more of a problem writing that one off as "basically nothing."
I've been coming to terms with the reality of this recently. I had a concussion and post-concussion syndrome last year which meant my brain got tired extremely quickly for a few months. In order to get work done, I had to pay close attention to what kinds of cognitive tasks would end up being debilitating and make sure to take lots of breaks.

I'm mostly recovered now, but I'm more self aware about cognitive fatigue and how to structure my workdays to avoid it. It's decreased my general level of stress measurably.
Wow, that is impressive. Norway is surely advanced in humanities.

So, why not publicise the performance metrics of the employees as well? Not public at least accessible like what you mentioned on salary. I'm not questioning why Norway isn't doing it but in general why not?

Such access to performance can also serve as a driver in the employment industry. Along with the engineering blogs, one can display links to the portal with company attested achievements and stats, it will at least reduce false claims in LinkedIn.
you are correct in that Elon has made it the whole value. Before he got hold of Twitter, based on the decline in value as measured by the writing-down of loan value by creditors, 3/4 of the value was in advertising by large brands.

That, in turn, reflects the value of a user base that likes having Catturd2 show up in their feed.
it could be both.
The most coherent answer I've had when asking this before is it basically comes down to capitalist theory.

SpaceX want (and need) to deliver the best viable product to market as soon as possible, everyone involved is focused on this singular vision.

NASA will have its funding cut or expanded on a 4-8 year basis. Politicians, agencies, states and other companies will lobby to get investment in their preferred areas. Even scientists/departments/entire universities will lobby to get their personal pet projects on to a mission to further their own agendas.

Frankly im unsure how a public space program can even operate most the time.
If anybody is actually reading this thread, it looks like twitter is using "author_is_democrat" and "author_is_republican" to evaluate "Community Notes."

As with all of the media outlets that elevate these two private clubs into the arbiters of truth, votes for Community Notes have to be relatively balanced between the two parties. Bipartisanship is a trash metric for determining truth, but absolutely none of the people raging at Musk in this thread would disagree with it.
Though I’m interested in such studies as well, assuming they exist, I have to ask why you are interested.

If not purely for knowledge, if you are aiming to prepare some educational material for others, possibly even the example provided, I would suggest you at least not worry about cognitive overhead to quote this degree. If that is what is happening, awareness of it and the desire to reduce it is far more than most educators / mentors / etc have. And that a lot is contextual.

In your example, the burden of being a teenager in high school is far more cognitive overhead to the learner than if the educator is using singular or plural when describing a new concept.

Again, I would be interested in such research as well, and there are applications outside of the classroom. Probably stronger ones.
Conversely- I put together a list of all the Space industry startups that YC funded over the last few years[1], thinking it would be entirely "ex-SpaceX" founders. But it turned out to have a pretty distributed mix:

For covered care anyway.

Labs that don't have a clear medical justification are probably easy to end up paying for out of pocket without getting the amount counted against the out of pocket insurance limit.

Would expect that to be clearly delineated on the bills though.
Its just the lasers though. I had a brother inkjet and it was a short lived disaster. I don't print much and the heads dried up a bit and then in 'cleaning mode' it blasts out most of the ink of the cartridges, but doesn't fix the problem. Other inkjets have the print heads on the catridges so you get new ones when they are replaced. Brother inkjet heads are part of the printer which means they can be a better quality head, but if there is a problem then its much harder to fix. In the end the printer didn't last a year because it heads got fouled and couldn't easily be cleaned/replaced.
It is briefly mentioned in this post, but this work is based on a proposal by Paul Evans [1] (creator of libtickit and libvterm, among others).

Kovid deserves credit for addressing some of the issues in the original proposal, and for documenting it well. But Evans deserves credit as well for formulating the original idea.

Note also that this is not the only solution to this problem. Xterm has had its own solution for a long time called modifyOtherKeys [2] which has been supported by Vim and iTerm2 for quite some time (I believe foot supports it as well, perhaps others). Of course people have different opinions on which approach is “better”, though empirically it seems like the CSIu/“fixterms”/kitty approach has a lot more momentum at present.

Yeah, that too. However, the actual magazine itself makes you feel that you are in indeed in the 80s. It is like going to a newsstand as a young computer kid and getting the latest copy of the magazine
a16z has become a joke in the VC industry. They invested upwards of $10 billion in "web3" startups, and are unlikely to see a single dollar of it back. And they keep doubling down on the idiocy, for example dumping $350M into Adam Neumann's new company (which not even he can actually describe).

A decade ago they had their fingers in every big tech exit. Today hardly any name in their portfolio is recognizable.

No wonder they are desperate for the cash.
