> > "Suicides among post-9/11 veterans are four times as high as combat deaths, a new study finds."

I wonder if this is a factor of more effort spent to keep soldiers alive (e.g. just bomb the shit out of something, kill all the people in the house, instead of taking the risk that one of them is an insurgent). Which then eventually doesn’t matter since they still have to deal with the aftermath, and kill themselves as a result.

I know, oddly specific, and I don’t think I have any solid facts to base it on.
> Angel: I want 50%.

Sounds like some real time-wasters. I’ve looked at angel funding a little from both sides (founder and investor) in New Zealand, and it is a real shitshow, because there is a lack of money and a huge lack of experience. You will probably run into similar issues with too many crappy Angels and too few worthwhile ones (and fishing for Angels is hard - great Angels test your soft skills by making it difficult e.g. need intro).

> YC is highly biased depending on countries

They really want to fund to other countries, but they find it difficult to find appropriate founders/businesses. Just write a fucking application! Spend an hour on it - your cost is low and your potential return is high. The next application window is open https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/ “remote-friendly options”,
“submit your application online by 8 pm PT on April 7”. Ideally convince a developer cofounder to join you for equity (they like that - good litmus test for relevant skills).

Also read one relevant essay a day from here: http://paulgraham.com/articles.html (I suggest you avoid his more philosophical musings - fun but mostly irrelevant). One a day so you can change your own thinking - I would be surprised if you got much value from reading many at once. http://paulgraham.com/convince.html is relevant to your original question, but probably applies most to sophisticated angel investors in the US.

Good luck!
It's a lot easier for me to believe maybe there's an intelligence where everyone just agrees. Like maybe they have full knowledge and things just... Are.
As a large language model enjoyer I've been amazed how they are steadily reducing the number of bits needed to represent the next token in the sequence on average. There is some irreducible amount of uncertainty they will reach eventually, but the trend isn't slowing down. The bonus is that as they have been reducing this number of bits with the models, they have been unlocking all of these amazing abilities of the LLMs like theory of mind and getting near human level on all these standardized tests. It's amazing to watch even if it eventually stops unlocking new powers.

Avoiding HTTP/3 (for a while) as a pragmatic default
For the younger greenhorns among us: Once upon a time, we used to declare what version of HTML a page was written in with the doctype tag at the very top of the file.

Certain versions of HTML thus declared, incorrectly formed doctypes, or more often the absence of the doctype declaration altogether, would tell most rendering engines to enter Quirks Mode and render the page with backwards compatibility as the highest priority.
Bugs are UB-like in a sense (what's the code going to do? well, you'll have to think about it, or try it and see), but UB is strictly worse than bugs (different compilers, even different versions of the same compiler, can do radically different things way beyond the scope of the bug).
>If you admit to ever using LSD or psychedelics, even one time, you will be automatically disqualified from serving in the military or law enforcement (go figure).

Interesting footage of US soldiers doing drills on LSD. It's really strange that someone learned about LSD and decided to see how well people can march in a parking lot while under the influence. Whoever designed the experiment really didn't understand LSD.

I wonder how much of it is secular. With populations weighted towards older workers demand for investment goods is high vs consumption goods where demand is low. As older workers are saving for retirement. As investment goods are not included in inflation measures like CPI. Low demand for consumption goods is causing low measures of inflation, causing central banks to keep rates low. While low interest rates and high demand for investment property is driving the value of dwellings up rapidly. I'd favour including property in CPI and increasing the deposit requirements...

It is difficult to afford raising more than two children on your own as a married couple. You have to enlist outside help. If you don't have a family to fall back on you have to purchase help. At some point one of the married couple needs to stop working instead of paying for childcare as the cost of childcare will exceed the income of one of the partners. Both partners want to maintain careers in the western world which applies further strain to the arrangement. I would have ten children if I had affordable childcare and additional help around the house. It is clear to me.
Please keep in mind that some of your coworkers might hate talking to you and only do so to avoid conflict.

Hell, I'd be happy with most banks, credit card companies, etc, supporting (or forcing) Yubikeys or, at the very least a TOTP Authenticator.

My bank can sync into Mint, but there's not an API that I could just authenticate against and pull data natively into spreadsheets for example. It would be nice, I agree.
Hot take: The people you mentioned are hired to bring big-name cred to the organization. None of them stuck around (correct me if I'm wrong, I've only done a cursory glance just now), they all left. Eg, they're the "top tier engineering" part of the companies, and other employees (and I've dealt with these employees at Tesla in a past life, so I can attest to their terrible attitude) are the "mediocre build quality".
How did you go hard red in the last two years?

Pandemania pushed stocks to insanely high levels, unless you literally started investing in 2021 you should be good.

It's an interesting phenomenon which is perfectly fine for intellectual curiosity, and there are plenty of comments in this thread relating to it that way. And of course there are also plenty of commenters bashing each other with partisan clubs. In that sense you are right. You're exaggerating the bias in the thread, though. For example the top subthread says "looks like a weak case" and was heavily upvoted.
In a 10,000+ person org you’re likely to have a huge variation in personalities, then you have pseudonymous internet commenters who may have an axe to grind or other agenda and be happy to cherry-pick one way or the other.
Ok, i loved this, from the linked Bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1797272

STR:

1. Start with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on Ubuntu 22.04.
2. Open a session with 2000 tabs.
3. Pin at least one tab.
4. Drag a tab to different positions in the toolbar at various speeds.
The previously smooth tab dragging has become janky and gets progressively worse with increasing number of tabs. It is much more severe on Linux Wayland than XWayland/X11 and can make the entire browser unresponsive for some time.

Seems someone is still doing deep work there even if management is busily doing everything else.

I so wish someone could get the priorities straight and correct in Mozilla.

A human being can pass a math test that is multiple choice without knowing the math.

Everybody can understand the difference between getting the answers right by paying attention to patterns in a sloppily made test versus learning the material.

A student who avoids learning the material will not be able to use what they didn't learn - no question, no subjectivity, no philosophical mystery.

When we see AI operating like such a student, why give it credit for understanding that nobody would give a human being?
Might be generally true, but there are some major exceptions. Gwynne Shotwell for example.
XULRunner was a great idea. It allowed us to create good-looking desktop applications with a native look&feel with an option to embed HTML and SVG content with only a simple server application.

Before it was killed, I created two technologies based on it. Phobos for Pharo and Squeak (see the screenshots):
https://github.com/pavel-krivanek/phobos-framework

The second one was Seaside inspired XULJet for JavaScript:

At that time, it looked like a good idea to let the hard work of making a platform-independent UI browser on Mozilla and focus on the applications. Unfortunately, it wasn't.

>consumers quite literally don't know and don't care about security or privacy.

Which is why it's so important that the operating system is built to be secure without requiring the user to secure it themselves. If the user's bank login is stored on the device it's important that other applications on it can't steal it. Consumers don't care about security, but the operating system can still protect them (and the bank).

>when was the last time you had to dive into the terminal in Android?

Today. I ssh into production and released a new update today from my phone. If you mean a shell on the phone itself, then yesterday. I used am to send some test broadcasts to an app I'm working on.

>Android is one of the best Linux distros for the common user because Android actually cares about usability and practicality.

I agree. I didn't mean to imply that the security and privacy benefits of Android were the only benefits that consumers get from it. And I wasn't explaining why it is popular. When I said best I said so with comparisons other operating systems like steamos which are user friendly and work well from the user's perspective.

>Meanwhile, the rest of the Linux world continues to argue...

I agree.

I'm not sure I'm convinced it's not. I will say ChatGPT is well on its way to replacing Google in terms of my everyday usage of the thing, as in "every day there's a new search for which ChatGPT gives me a better answer than Google."

Yesterday I had a totally reasonable conversation with it about the bugs I found in my flat... and the day before that I was pair programming with it on the best TypeScript interface for the library I'm building... nothing like this existed six months ago and to be honest it's pretty mind blowing. It makes me excited for the future, and even though I know the same demonstration of skill makes some people existentially worried for the future, I can't help but optimistically look forward to what we're all going to build with this thing...
It's all a facade.
>Looks like a bunch of antisemites and racists found the video and hit it with their comments at once.

Not too sure about that. Seems like a positive sign that people are not putting up with all the BS surrounding Israel anymore. This is what gives me a shred of hope: that thanks to the internet, people are questioning existing alliances and asking why? In the distant future as terrible states such as Israel and Saudi Arabia continue to fail to rehabilitate their image my hope is that the tides will change in Western leadership in how they tolerate these states. They clearly do not practice western ideals so it makes no sense to waste, money, lives, and political reputation on them.

It is incredibly naïve to assume that women generally have no agency except in the West.

Ok, I'll take your request at face value. Here's how I read the last comment you posted before we banned you (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34852986):

> Kindly take your gaslighting and passive aggression somewhere else

That's aggressive name-calling and flamebait.

> I'm allowed to "yell" and write how I like. I haven't taken any personal shots at anyone - unlike yourself.

That's flamewar fodder which adds no information.

> Even if shrill is "gendered" (The Google says it "hints" at gendered language, btw), *so fucking what*.

"So fucking what" is gratuitous, aggressive flamebait.

> The implication in GPs comment is that this justifies Newspeak-ification... It doesn't.

That's an on-topic statement! but a shallow one. This part could have been the kernel of a good comment if you had expanded on your argument instead of just saying "It doesn't."

> And neither does referencing less "agreeable" authors, such as Joseph Conrad.

That's fine, but again would have been much better with more information.

> I mean, wow dude. Talk about the worst possible takes.

That's more name-calling and flamebait.

I don't know how to read that comment except as exactly the sort of flamewar that we don't want on HN. And you broke the site guidelines repeatedly in other comments in that same thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34854019

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34852816

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34852697

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34852642

I re-read tptacek's comments in the same thread and your comments were far, far more aggressive and flamewarrish than his. It's not close. I realize it doesn't feel this way because it always feels like the other person started it and did 10x worse. But this is an illusion we all suffer from when we get into those sorts of conflicts. (The solution is to cultivate the habit of responding less in kind, not more; if one does that enough, it can partially correct for that bias.)

All that said, I could probably have warned you rather than banned you at that point. I don't understand why I wrote "we just asked you to stop" - assuming you weren't using multiple accounts to post, it's possible I simply mistook you for someone else that I had recently scolded, and if so, that could have tipped me in the direction of banning you.

If you want to commit to editing out flamebait and name-calling from your posts and not being aggressive in HN comments in the future, I'd be happy to unban you. Please make sure you're up on the guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html because those set the parameters of how we interpret these things.
Spent way too long trying to work out what a dangerous shart might do.
Yeah I chose “mostly unnoticed” very purposefully. I used Camino (even when it was Chimera!) because I wanted the native UI it offered. At the time, the vast majority of Mac software was either Cocoa, or ported to Carbon from classic Mac OS, or some Java monstrosity. The tech crowd either didn’t know or didn’t care that Mozilla/Firefox used XUL/web tech to implement its UI, and my preference for the native interface was outlandish to most of my tech peers at the time.
So does the private sector what? Did you only read and respond to the first sentence of my comment? I can't figure out what you're responding to.

I am starting to think of this more in the sense that 'not many people write in assembly anymore' or 'some people write C - sure - but writing in Nim can be a nicer experience and can take care of some of the details for me' and it has been helpful for me to come to terms with the direction things are moving. Granted, this is a big step to higher level "programming" (and those quotes are now bigger than ever) but, as pointed out, these LLMs are even better when you know how to use the linguistic interface like a senior dev rather than a person off the street.
Effectively, now devs can now work to make decisions closer to the C-suite by framing the problem and constraints, and spend less time on the frustrating errors while developing.
I think the decade long wars in the middle east are a huge part PR wise, but theres more to it.

The military is a shitshow. The messaging alienated it's core recruitment base, namely white and black teenagers and young men. It alienates young American men in general, but those demographics in particular are historically the core of America's fighting force. Having to balance domestic recruitment PR to be politically correct while also wanting to reach tough young men and entice them is an impossible task.

It's a giant jobs program. People in the military can tell you, it's devolved from just being rules/procedures based chain of command, to being a full blown Brazil-esque (the movie) busybody bureaucracy.
Not a good criticism of this paper in particular.

They really don't want it to blow up on the launch pad. They've put a lot of work into the ground service equipment, and depending on how bad the damage is, blowing up on the pad could set them back months. It also isn't clear if they will have completely finished all the protections on the launch equipment (cladding, deluge, etc) before this test flight, so blowing up on the pad this time around might actually be worse than if it happened in some future test instead.

Once it is well-clear of the pad – blowing up is a lot less bad. But still, ideally they want it to make at as far through the flight plan as possible. If it blows up early in the flight, there's a lot of stuff that happens later they won't even get the chance to test this time around. Sure, they'll get the chance to test it next time around – but that'll be another delay in an already delayed project.
