First: I’m sorry about your son’s experience. My impression is that something like a court appearance would be overwhelming for even an autistic individual with lower support needs.

This is pretty much where I left off with social security. Luckily for me, not long after my rejection I found a treatment option that helped me get back to work. The timeline for my first appeal before a judge would’ve been a year or more.
> we are governed by filth who are looting public treasuries for themselves and their buddies.

Hence the conservative ideal of smaller government with limited powers, so that there is both less to loot from as well as a lesser ability for those in power to direct those treasures to themselves.
Not going to comment on the levels of agreement or disagreement with clip. However I would like to point out that Jon Stewart has, in a very genius way, been able to classify himself as a political influencer and pundit with the ultimate escape hatch of being a comedian. He can amplify or ridicule policy and culture and spent hundreds of hours doing so, winning many awards. Then when caught on the wrong side he has the excuse of “why did you listen to me I’m a comedian”. It’s genius the niche he carved out for himself.
Being European I have traveled to plenty of it's cities. I don't think I would want to live in the city centers of any of them. And there is really no need for it. Walkability and public transport is usually exceptionally good.

My observation of Stockholm as a tourist is that it is really easy to get around there on a bike, so I don't see the need to live smack in downtown where the price is going to be the highest (especially when you can't afford it).
Unearthing lessons from 2008: My first Mac apps
I somewhat agree with where you're coming from, but I don't see why you're calling the article a "bad take". The article doesn't really judge causes or solutions of the situation, but rather just describes it. And if you think taking care of aging parent(s) is possible without an emotional toll, then I seriously question whether you've actually ever done it!

My perspective of what compounds the problem:

1. Tiny 1950's ranches intended for a single nuclear family, that don't provide breathing room for multiple generations.

2. The trend of moving far far away for work / lifestyle, which then collapses to provide in-person care.

3. The trend of needing to move into cities for economically lucrative work, which creates an ongoing tension even when you are in the same region.

4. Abjectly terrible healthcare system, that makes it so even professional nurses/therapists have to be managed. (This is a bigger issue that's driving the return to DIY care)

5. As always, the economic treadmill that strips wealth away from the edges, making it so the sheer majority don't have extra cash to hire help. Providing around the clock care is at least two people's worth of full time jobs (it's really at least three, to be sustainable).

6. The expectation of women in the workforce, rather than as homemakers. What supported most historic customs was having one person able to focus on all that informal work required for living, as the other went out and battled to navigate economic society. Now our economic puppetmasters have come to expect two full time workers while the informal tasks get neglected.

By all means, please live out your moral imperative and take care of your elders as they age. But I'm guessing that by doing so, you'll end up empathizing with the article rather than writing it off.
i assume he's saying people who join the military are racist misogynists and because the military can't appeal to this anymore, people don't want to join anymore
Then you likely need more different chips across your line. More different production lines which can stop you. If you standardize on fewer different parts you can buffer some fluctuation in the supply chain.
I have been making music for decades. Not professionally of course, but only for myself.

I think in the rush for fandom we forget that it is quite possible to be the best musician you know.

Music is one of those healing substances that will always work and doesn't require you to invest heavily or be addicted or sign a subscription. It will just heal you.

The fact that this has been industrialized and indeed weaponised in the Western world is a bit of a travesty - but we must never forget that our music schools produce 4 - 5 million new musicians a year.

This is why I say, the only rock and roll industry is the one where the guitars are being made and new instruments designed and fashioned - for us all.

The idols come and go. That old synthesizer will have a lot, lot longer use than the CD rack ..
It was amazing when it first launched. When I first learnt to code you'd be lucky to find a half decent blog with the information you needed.
I also discovered a parallel effect that at least in my case is a bigger issue: if you strain while thinking, you can end up engaging head muscles which can fatigue quickly and become painful. For me, thinking hard hurts and I thought it was a brain thing, but now I think it's primarily strain-related tension headaches, which oddly can feel like a brain thing.

So from my experience there seems to be a possibility that when you think you are having brain tiredness you're actually having a physical headache.
that's fair. However, I think evil in D&D schema is malevolent and I am not sure that is exactly what Musk is. Careless of people's feelings and impact - perhaps Chaotic Neutral for him, Chaotic Evil for Trump? (even Trump might be described as Chaotic Neutral)

I happen to have an HP inkjet printer which I use every three or so months, and never had the dried ink problem. Always works reliably, including the display ink level function.

I think this "the ink dries up!" mantra is either outdated, doesn't affect HP anymore, or I got extremely lucky with my HP printers since 2014
While what you say is true I didn't do it intentionally. I just used GitHub search to find that line and posted it here without paying much attention.
Unrelated to ISRO's honestly solid step in aerospace but to all the commentators on this thread

I'm Desi American and honestly, HN commentators from both India and the US need to stop being little bitches. It's made HN go to shit.

Boomer American HN commentators - stop being so god damn racist about South Asians. Caste and poverty doesn't define us.

Millennial+Uncle Indian HN commentators - stop using the "school shooting" trope and ultranationalism. Y'all are basically acting like Wumao.

Bring on the downvotes. I'm so sick of all the bullshit on this site
Well of course when I said "it doesn't work" I meant that I found the outcome intolerable. That outcome being a majority of users being vulnerable to malicious attacks with a whole host of real world bad consequences for them.

I think that regular people having unrestricted access to enriched plutonium also to have intolerable outcomes. Even if some people would be able to handle the substance safely (both to themselves and others), the ones that don't or can't will cause intolerable outcomes. And yes, this is a 'think of the children' style argument. I don't want the children (or adults) to get radiation sickness. My hot take here is that it would be bad.
As a middle-aged person with tinnitus, don't do this. If your work environment requires it then find some other work. Damage to your hearing is permanent and can make your life a living hell.

Fascinating. The folks at Google must have been smoking something particularly good when they made the offer...
What an absolute gem! An example of both that there is nothing as permanent as a temporary government program, and a government program whose name only marginally reflects what it actually does.

>For that price we could be paying 3 years of rent on a decent apartment anywhere outside Manhattan. We could be putting a down payment on a house for them & then employ them in some sort of works program at $20/hour. These are things that could actually allow them to start building their life back up.

I'm not sure there is any incentive to solve the problem. And there is no accountability for anyone in government it seems, on either side of the aisle, at any level of government.
Thank you. Sanity restored.
I remember when we had explicit syntax for what MUST and MUST NOT be in the search results.

Now the + and - tokens are just a mild suggestion. Wrapping a word or two in quotes sometimes helps, but more often than not just returns no results.

It's funny, in middle school we had a whole unit on constructing search engine queries. It was really quite powerful back then. But I guess it's less profitable for you to actually find what you want without spending 20 minutes sifting through ads

There is no right answer. Even if you could move your wife and family (and job etc) to where your parents live, that could separate her from her parents.
> Over here the government passed draconian anti-abortion laws, but that didn't have an immediate effect. Other things, like economic uncertainty were the main driver.

That is not comparable to providing starlink.

Nuclear reactors produce plutonium. A world without any nuclear reactors or uranium enrichment facilities, is a world without nuclear weapons.

It's perhaps particularly relevant with Japan; they are the nation probably most often used as an example of a country that could develop nuclear weapons almost overnight, should the political will materialize. They have the know-how, industry, missiles, and because of the nuclear power program, both stockpiles of, and the ability to produce, both enriched uranium and plutonium.

Edit: Did I hit a nerve or something folks?

For the record I personally strongly support nuclear power. Parent asked a question. It's obvious to me why anti-nuclear activists link weapons and power reactors. It's not (necessarily) lack of scientific understanding -- power reactors produce the material for nuclear bombs. Some people think that is unacceptable as a proliferation risk. Don't shoot the messenger? Was just trying to contribute to the discussion positively.
In exchange for essentially worthless assets, no?

Turning $426B in 2009 into $445B in 2014 comes out to an 0.76% ROI, so not exactly a good deal for anyone but the shareholders who didn't lose their shirts.
No, it sounds arrogant and privileged to make it sound as if only farmers have worked hard for generations. We all have.
Anecdotally I can almost get behind spending extreme amounts of time on HN/online in general being linked to worsening of mental health in some people (like me). I have periods of months of obsessive HN activity (feeling anxiety about missing a day) and during the same time all sorts of other problems and bad habits surface, from obsessive social media checking to completely unrelated stuff. Having one now.

But even for people like me I wouldn't say being online causes those problems, more likely some third factor makes them be super online and also shows up as other issues, though it may be a feedback loop (removing the option of being constantly online could do good for me)
If it were just a defense against "cheating" this would make sense. Imagine changing the word to "extortion" or "ransom" and the issue is obvious-- when you pay people to do bad things, the problem gets bigger.

However, the systems actually are gatekeeping on the basis of desert or merit. That's a more debatable virtue but the only viable alternative is to instead push out aid through local, flexible, discretionary face-to-face interactions between people who know one another well...... like when you helped a personal friend......
don't worry guys, the interest rate increases necessitated by elevated inflation will eliminate a tremendous amount of affluence, and we can all sit together in the mud.

Unemployment is a completely different beast from all of our other social programs in the US. In a relative sense, it’s brainlessly easy to get on unemployment.

Lumping all social programs together and pointing out the one with the biggest fraud issue is disengenious —- e.g. the SSA reports that our disability programs have a fraud rate of less than 1%.
2 sockets can allow a server to hold 32 or more cores, and a 2 socket server uses 1U of space. Going to 4 or more sockets typically requires 2 or even 4 Us of space, so they’re less efficient space-wise.

Most people dealing with hardware don’t refer to “CPUs” anymore, because there’s a lot of confusion around sockets, cores, and hyperthreads, so it’s better to be more specific in any conversation.
This study could be summarized as "the poorest 20% of USA residents have as much money spent addressing their poverty as the average citizen of a European country".

But once you pick through the details you realize they are looking at expenditure , not outcomes.

Considering this, and given the gross corruption and inefficiency of US welfare, most notably healthcare, it might be more accurate to say that "The poorest 20% of USA residents have as much money wasted on a farcical attempt to support them ..."
Your use-case is exactly like mine
Right, this makes sense. Thanks.

> A personal website made of .html and other files in the past would last, literally forever.

Web serving has always had moving parts, and there has always been some maintenance required to keep sites up. I agree that HTTPS increases the burden here, but not from zero.

> at some point that complex stack of software (who's complexity is hidden from the user) will break

Sort of? People definitely screw up their HTTPS configuration from time to time, or run into bugs. But the acme software is very reliable, so this is rare, and if it does happen blowing your existing configuration away and starting fresh will fix it.

> And not only does it make them more fragile but it makes setting up a website for the first time much more complex.

If you want to set up a website with minimal steps you generally get someone else to host, at which point they are dealing with HTTPS. If you want to do it all yourself HTTPS does add a step, but it is small compared to all of the other steps involved in setting up a server.

> The increased centralization will inevitably lead to increased pressures, social, political, and otherwise on LE to censor, revoke permission, or otherwise cancel the accounts of law breaking websites.

The US legal system cannot currently compel Let's Encrypt to refuse service to lawbreaking sites, and even if the law changed here you could get a certificate from a CA in another country.
> Maybe not the devs, but the management that knowingly shipped a defective fake product.

Why not the devs, too? Didn’t they knowingly implement the fraud?
You're right, there's a place for both active leisure and passive leisure. The problem I have is that our jobs rob us of the energy we need for active leisure, so we just end up doing passive leisure 100% of the time which I think is way out of balance.

I have many friends in Brandenburg (the state, not the city) and internet speeds tend to actually be great out there from what Ive heard (still in the towns/cities not literally in the middle of nowhere, but there are loads of small to mid sized towns). In fact I believe it may be better than in Berlin!

I wonder if it was because it was easier to upgrade/replace the East German infrastructure & as such it's relatively new/good? Sorta like how nice a lot of the highway network in Poland is, because it was mostly only built in the last couple decades.

BTW Pankow is considered a very nice and desirable (and expensive) part of Berlin to raise a family in :)
> We should build enough normal houses in areas people want to live such that 90%+ can afford them, make owning and operating a car affordable, and make raising a family affordable.

That hasn’t really worked anywhere: popular places attract so many people that you literally can’t put supply into synch with demand. San Francisco is already a dense city, would it be as cheap as Manhattan if it had Manhattan like density? Maybe, but Manhattan isn’t cheap.

It might be better to focus more on better intercity and intracity transport like they do in Japan, or allow for smaller cheaper places to live like they do in Tokyo (incidentally, aggressively deprecating the value of structures like they do in Japan might help as well).

Woops, just saw I replied to a higher comment in this tree instead of to you as the asker of the original question.

FWIW, my thoughts are basically that it's a question of sequencing the lessons and framing the overall purpose: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35411405
I can understand your and other's people's view that any form of business-doing with Saudi Arabia means that you are immoral (I think this is what you're insinuating). In other words, a very binary world view.

But I think that in practice it is much more nuanced and complex than that and jumping on one's high horse will likely get you thrown off that horse in due course.
> how is that any different from Texas not wanting to be a part of Mexico?

Ok but to complete the scenario, the US would have needed to annex all of Mexico to be comparable right? That's what Russia is trying to do.

There's some reasonable demand for the lower density, more robust chips that were made in "paid off fabs".

Largely, I've read, those fabs were turned off -- they were in a legacy / sustaining engineering mode before covid. Lots of things, when you turn them off, for any reason, they're very difficult to turn back on; I suspect fabs are like this.

So -- the age of $0.50 parts made in a fab that was state of the art in 1997 is over. We must make new parts, on new processes, that are substantially different from those original parts, or we must make a 1997 fab. If you can't source all the 1997 machine tools to make the 1997 fab, that fab is likely a $200 billion dollars to build the first one and many tens of billions for each added 1997 fab. So those $0.50 parts are likely going to be $80 parts for the first 8 years of that "1997" fab's lifecycle.

Likely not going to happen.
Dynamic high quality text rendering with support for all the random fonts we throw at it is actually very hard and nuanced with a distinct lack of hw acceleration techniques. There’s been some advances to use GPU acceleration but those are still research and haven’t yet seem mainstream adoption afaik. Also using gpu acceleration can decrease battery life (usually ok these days because if I recall correctly the gpu is mostly on anyway for modern compositing.

Fundamentally games are actually very different problems amenable to very different kinds of optimization (3d being easier to render than 2d). That’s why all the text you see in 3d games are static menus that are hyper optimized for the limited specific content the ever show in a single font. And the 3d itself has a massive accelerator coprocessor that you need to run at high frame rates. And that accelerator one really works well for extremely parallelizable work which font rendering (and 2D in general) tends not to be (although like I said, there’s research work on making 2d run on GPUs).
And yet, we get the short end of the stick when you get a job at a company that applies a location factor, where even living in a rural backwater in Washington pays more than living in downtown Vancouver, BC.
That's interesting.

I show my students that cognitive abilities declined significantly with lack of oxygen. I have them do jumping jacks while reciting the alphabet backwards. There is often a 50% decrease in speed when they are working out.

I can recite the reverse alphabet almost as fast as forward without the added stress. While working out I can do it with a10% decrease. This leads me to believe that the additional stress can be compensated through drilling.
Back in the day, having taken some kind of statistical signal processing course would have been common before getting into neural networks. That would likely have covered a lot of intuitions.
