Given that staple food likely has fairly low elasticity of demand and food sellers in airports likely have extensive market power, I wouldn’t really make any conclusions about “value.” If sellers increase the price from $10 to $15 and the quantity of sandwiches demanded doesn’t decrease much at all, that’s a pretty good indicator that “value” to the buyer didn’t increase much. If the sellers’ economic profits went up about the same proportion as the price did, that’s another dead giveaway.

Show HN: ConversionWhiz – Structured feedback on any URL using OpenAI
People have been rewarded in the past for being skeptical, and have learned this trick to a detriment to their own intellect.
It is a very easy trap to confuse skepticism with expertise on the internet, and HN is one of the worst about this - most of the comments that feign skepticism barely even understand the topic they are commenting upon anymore, and are simply generating skeptical words because that's what has rewarded them in the past.
There is also unsubstantiated hype, which is not helpful either.

Occasionally someone actually has read a few hundred fundamental papers on ML and can give an actual educated response, but it is quite rare. Typically they don't feign skepticism, but rather notice there are noteworthy improvements provided by metaRL and RLHF, etc.
That's true, but doesn't mean they aren't also jacking up the price because they have the monopoly on selling a sandwich you can have between flights.

This isn’t really a sandwich shop sandwich though. It’s more like something you’d grab off the shelf at CVS or 7-11, where it would be under $10.

OP said "morning coffee ritual", not the coffee maker.

Put yourself in the seat of someone coming to look at your house 1,000+ years after you died. Most things are gone but some things are intact. Our history and language was either wiped out or indiscernible. What would they find?

Well, in my house, here's a few things:

- they'd find that the softwood in my kitchen is much more worn than the rest of my house. We either spent a lot of time there or didn't care about it.

- they'd then find that there's bags of fragrant stuff by this steel machine with a pressurization cup that also has a steam wand.

- they'd find a water reservoir on the back of the machine.

- if I left in a hurry, they'd find cups scattered throughout the house, particularly in what looks like working areas.

- they'd find clean cups near the machine; some are plain but some are decorated!

Even from all this, they'd have to look at coffee beans to find out they're caffeinated, they'd need to determine the presence of sugar, spices, and the various types of milk humans use. The "morning coffee ritual" would still look pretty amalgamous, and lots of context as to what we did around it would be lost, but they'd get an idea around what it all was about.
Yep, like COBOL, or SQL.

But, in fact, I don't know of any language that doesn't. They are just not basic types.

Breaking: Marketing can turn snake oil into gold
Ask HN: How do you rekindle the excitement of tech/startup culture circa '90s?
More accurately: circle late '90s and '00s

I was born in the 80s, built my first computer at age 10, spent my adolescent years rushing home from school to watch ZDTV (later TechTV). I remember when YC first launched in Cambridge. Startups were being built in garages. People were moving into startup houses. There was an electricity, an excitement, a childlike giddiness for new ideas and products.

I don't know if it's due to just age, the usual beatdown of life, or the world at large, but those stomach butterflies have long flown away, and I'd like to recapture them. It seems however that startup culture today has become so industrialized and mainstream. Where are the "weirdos"? Where are the garage hackers? Has tech permeated society so much so that those times are behind us for good? If so, what is the new "tech"?

I want to be that excited 16 year-old again.
Right? Broadly, it's kind of funny how people lump everything involving computer code together as if they are equally difficult.

It's as if we lumped together the creation of everything "made of wood" as similar. Shelf, doll, table, boat, grandfather clock...

Something is accurate in this sense if the "true" value (ignoring any philosophical implications thereof) is contained in the error bounds of the measurement. What you're noting is that a high accuracy measurement will, upon application of statistics, allow you to derive a new measure which is both high-accuracy and high-precision, regardless of the low precision of any inputs. Not all things being described with accuracy and precision are the result of processing large amounts of data though.

Don’t allow a monopoly in the airport.. boom, problem solved
Ok, how about this proposal:

No more get out the vote campaigns. No more encouraging people to vote. The new message is ‘voting is your right, use it wisely.’

‘Vote responsibly.’

Everyone would have the right to vote, but would be encouraged only to vote when they feel educated about the issues and/or candidates.

And encouraged to abstain if and when they are unclear about what they are voting for.

‘I voted’ would no longer be a point of pride. Voting would be messaged as something to be done carefully, and anything resembling ballot harvesting would be totally illegal. In the broadest possible terms. People would need to care enough to actually figure when and how to vote.
> It's 2023: I'm still surprised that so many new languages/platforms […] still lack built-in, runtime-provided, nor even standard-library-provided rational types

Because numerators and denominators can blow up easily, rational types effectively require storing them as bigints. That makes them bad from a performance viewpoint.

Assuming your application will work fine with fixed-size rationals (which, IMO, is highly unlikely), the natural way to store rationals in fixed-size storage wastes lots of room.

For example, in a (int32 nominator, int32 denominator) pair, there are about 2³² ways to encode ‘1’ that way, 2³¹ to encode ½, etc. I also think such a fixed-size rational type isn’t very natural to work with

Rationals also require regularly computing a gcd when you add (1/3 + 1/6 isn’t 9/18 but 1/2) or multiply (10/21 × 7/5 isn’t 70/105 but 2/3) them, slowing down things more (you can use heuristics to avoid some of those simplifications, but not doing one when that’s possible may mean your rationals keep huge numerators and denominators, slowing down operations)
You do realize there are thousands of regulations, related to everything from seat-belts to what chemical to use in hair coloring products. To say that "almost all regulation" comes from companies attempting "regulatory capture" seems simplified at best.

Lot of them surely come from pushes by companies, but if "almost all" is to believed, you're gonna have to cite something that shows this.

When your whole political system depends on donations from large corporations, the government becomes in service of capitalism.
Sure a failure of government but when you have built every incentives to promote those behaviours, the opposite would be surprising.

Many countries ban donations from companies, doesn't let companies pay for politicians ads, etc. Doesn't mean it's perfect, government rely on jobs from companies to make their citizens happy, but it does help to make the politician a bit more independent from corporate interest.

The value is no higher at the airport than anywhere else. The difference is who is able to capture the surplus value.

At the airport, the vendor captures most of the surplus value due to their monopoly. Elsewhere, the consumer captures a lot of the surplus value due to robust competition between different vendors.

I'd focus on your own marketing rather than worrying about whether other people are lying. You don't need to call yourself an AI company, just say you "utilise AI to xyz" or something if you want in on the AI marketing. Same keywords, no lies, sorted.

While I respect the contrast you're highlighting I disagree that they're therefore fundamentally different. In both cases its a form of social coercion to shape user behaviour to misrepresent the collective sentiment.
But the thing being concluded is that it's not very bumpy, and for that conclusion to hold water the data needs to be both accurate and precise within some very small bound. Spitting out precise measures of electron bumpiness isn't very hard without that accuracy. Right this second I used the "gut feeling" measurement device to conclude that the electron is round within 1024 bits of precision, and yet the authors have a publication and I don't. Is their conclusion over-blown?
Starting sometime in the mid-'00s it became common practice to prevent players from gratuitously killing child NPCs. As I understand it, this was to comply with ratings boards. A good example of the change is Fallout. Fallout 2 had child NPCs with no invincibility, and in the German release they just made the children invisible and untargetable. This caused some issues. In Fallout 3 children can't be damaged by the player, but you can cause their offscreen deaths (with a nuclear bomb, even). Similarly, I think Crusader Kings can get away with it because there's no visual depiction.

As an aside, while I understand the motivation for this kind of thing, I remember finding a child's body after a firefight in Deus Ex and having a moment of moral anxiety as I wondered whether it had been one of my stray bullets or someone else's (or even unrelated to the fight).
Yeah, that as well.

WebUSB was actually useful to me not long ago. I installed Home Assistant and its ESPHome[1] companion, and ESPHome had support for using WebUSB to upload the firmware to a blank ESP8266 I had. I didn't have to install or set up anything on my Windows machine, and the whole process was very quick and convenient.

It seems clear to me that the main issue here is that a lot of programs aren't closely tied to the hardware or the OS. Building them to be so is an annoyance for both users and developers. As Scott McNealy said, you don't need to know how to operate a nuclear power plant to turn on the lights, and most users just want to get stuff done.

That we have three major operating systems still going relatively strong is evidence that there are differences that matters to people. But for a lot of applications those differences don't. The WebXYZ stuff thus increases usability a lot by simultaneously solving the cross-platform compatibility issues and distribution.

In my ESPHome example above literally opened the website, plugged in the USB cable to my device, clicked a button on the web page and the job was done.

So while I don't really like that the same web browser is used to surf other web sites, given that these WebXYZ components present additional security risks and fingerprinting opportunities, I can't deny that they're useful.
