Switzerland didn't have any "lockdowns" either. Non essential stores were closed, as well as public gatherings, but public transport was still running and you could go wherever and do what you wanted.

And Switzerland ended up having much higher COVID stats than surrounding parts of Europe, despite having a generally wealthy, fit and healthy population. But people's individual lives were much less impacted since they could still do outdoor activities and travel. It's all a trade-off.

I know this is HN, but can we please stop drawing these vague parallels between basic programming concepts and the functioning of the human brain?

No, the brain does not "replace written information with a pointer". I cannot tell you with complete confidence whether writing stuff down improves recall or diminishes it, but I can tell you that you can construct computer analogies in support of either case.

I could posit that writing actually improves your memory, because the minute movements of your arm require more of your brain to compute, therefore creating more neural connections and possibilities of recall.

This is likely just as wrong, but demonstrates that thinking up some vague explanation is insufficient to make a point about a system as complex as the human brain.

> "Much of the Russian military has not been affected negatively by this conflict" [1]

That's not even what he says, quote it properly.

"Much of the Russian military has not be been affected negatively by this conflict, one of those forces is their undersea forces".

Which is 100% true, they haven't lost a single submarine in this entire conflict.

Im not sure what your point is, is it that Russias military is so corrupted and rotting that they have to use T62's without even having significant losses?.

Because we have pictures and videos of Russians losing at least 1190 tanks in this conflict alone.

> What are the Ukrainian losses by the way? Is it above 300k already, as claimed by one of the presidential candidates? [1]

Your appeal to authority is noted and quite admirable but I don't think Robert Kennedy Junior has better estimates than the American intelligence community.

The American intelligence leaks the other week put the losses as.

Russia - 35.5k-43.5k KIA

Ukraine - 16k-17.5k KIA

significant losses for both countries, but no where near the meth induced fever dream of 300k.

Exactly. My compsci prof was forcing us to learn so much by heart, but then it's internalized and you start to think in those terms. Right now I am writing my PhD thesis in management and in the beginning I didn't have all of those papers really in my head. But now slowly that knowledge accumulates and I can think through things I couldn't think before. But on the other hand, I now think, how could I not understand that, it's trivial. And to add, it is the same for literature and poems. If you know a poem by heart, it's not just fancy to recite it, but that you start to really incorporate part of that language.

But, many R tools are already vectorised, so your shift from lapply() to mclapply() is about as fair a comparison as claiming it's "just" a shift from python's builtin map() to pool.map().

You have it reversed: it's not "we want to make a foldable phone, how expensive does it need to be?", it's "we want to ask $1800 for phone, what could we offer to find buyers".

The biggest problem in the market of exceptionally expensive phones is that they don't really look all that different from cheaper ones. Foldable phones solve that.
I think this may also be due to the age of the project. Years ago, I could also create a prototype in a few hours in Vue. But as they get older, these frameworks keep getting more complicated. I'm sure Svelte will become like that too in a couple of years.

I agree and have been having this discussion for decades of people who don’t care and just want their work to help others (Apache/bsd/mit/etc) vs those that want to have a specific ideology furthered (gpl) that all software should be free.

It’s not exactly the same, but I’ve frequently heard “I don’t want someone to take my code and just sell it.” So want to use gpl or some other license that opens but prohibits selling. I don’t think the latter really works out that well, but people seem to ask for it quite a bit.

I do my best to keep the ads on when I'm using services that are ads-sustained, but... Come on YouTube, you're throwing several minutes long ads at me, and if I don't click "skip" because I'm washing the dishes, then instead of compensating me for watching it by going to the video (as you do when I hit "skip"), you throw another ad at me because you know that I'm likely unable to skip that as well.

Also I'm more and more convinced that YouTube listens on my microphone for running water.
> People want to use LLM hammers like screw drivers and are disapointed.

IMHO, the reason people do so is because LLMs are advertised as such.
It's not a mass destruction weapon. But that's not the point. You have to have good guy here. No other options.
It only has to be snappier than Windows, which isn't hard.
On the one hand, very interesting at a technical level. However, on the other, it's cheesy, horribly unoriginal and bland in its output, and that doesn't just apply to just this example. Nothing I've seen from an LLM thus far would be winning any awards or get recommended by a critic.

Structure-wise, the output is generally very formulaic, even with additional descriptors.
Yes it would be better if it didn't have those features in the same way that I would pay more for a Burrito if someone had not taken a shit in it.

I might be a weird edge case. I do all the things you say but the recommendations totally suck for me. I only watch videos I like. I watch a lot of videos. If I ever watch something I didn't like I remove it and thumbs down and yet all the recommendations are total garbage.

Edit to add: i get that shorts, mix and music are things some people like. I really don’t and I hate that mix I can’t remove at all and shorts I can remove for 30 days and then it comes back. It feels like google is doing this sort of dark pattern bs more and more.

That said: I have been convinced by people pointing out how much more valuable premium views are to people who make the stuff I watch so have subscribed. Makes me puke just a little bit to say that.
Repitition reinforces the ads, just like in other 'learning', advertisers will always want us to retain their ads, I can't see the 'waterboard them with annoying ads' technique going away in any country that Capitalism manages to keep its talons embedded in.

> the vast majority of them quite the opposite of discrete.

This is the main point IMO. When you have a printed newspaper or magazine you are not annoyed by the ads.

If we had ads that (1) do not move, (2) are not modal/do not pop up, (3) do not track you outside the website, (4) do not take MB's of data I would be willing to tolerate them and they could even be helpful.

Youtube has become unwatchable without ad blockers. It used to be better than TV, now it is worse and you cannot skip them.
I thought the stress would be on the first syllable.

I also thought this means the second syllable should be a short i, consistent with how we pronounce metropolis.

Because police stresses the second syllable, it sounds like ee not a short i. So I didn't readily make the connection between the two words in part because they are spelled different and in part because I don't think they sound alike.
I am afraid that if you think that then there is no help.

Exactly. Have a barebones screen on the front or no screen at all, and make it cheaper. I get that they want it to be premium, but it doesn't need an expensive high-refresh OLED screen for both screens!
What are you talking about? The US has one of the most progressive tax systems, and like 50% of people don't even pay income tax. The government wastes money and the medical establishment is corrupt -- but that has nothing to do with rich people living off of the poor. The poor in America are far richer than the poor in most other countries.
This guy has everything backwards: he doesn't realize it's his insane long wageslave work hours that are the problem, not those extra 3 hours.
> People bidding whatever they can afford is largely a lack-of-supply problem, is it not?

ECON101 thinking. Tokyo is given as an example of enough supply, but something like 25% of the nation lives there, and Tokyo doesn’t have the same pressure of young working age people moving as other countries due to their aging population. Imagine even 10% of the USA moving to New York, and say 20% of all 2x year olds per year. How does NY double or triple the number of residences?

And as you say, status drives prices. In Christchurch we have a desirable suburb Merivale, where people bid rediculous prices because it has money status. The exact same house in another suburb, closer to town, can be a lot cheaper.

In NZ people want their kids to go to high decile schools. A high decile school is one where the parents are in the top 10% of earners. There is natural price discrimination working in the housing market to keep prices just barely affordable at every wage.

In New Zealand and Australia we have major cities where houses are 10x earnings, bigger multiples than most of the USA, and you will be surprised how much more US house prices can go up. New York doesn’t make the top ten list for unaffordability in the world: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/least-affordable-cities-to-...

New Zealand’s major city has 20% of the country’s population, and is also ridiculously expensive compared to household earnings. I wonder how many more houses it needs before prices would drop?

We are building new houses at a fucking insane rate in Christchurch (lag from Earthquakes a decade ago) - yet prices are still chronically hiking.

NY is very dense, yet prices are very high, so it breaks ECON101 assumptions since prices must have gone up as density went up. One theory is that houses are Veblen goods - which totally fucks with supply/demand curves.
Having or not having the money to spend doesn't really seem to be a real factor in whether or not it's spent well.

See: Everything you just talked about and cost-plus contracts. The US demonstrates both.

"Middle Age" Europe is poorly named. It's based on an idea that ancient europe is Greece and Rome. Then, dark/middle ages. Then Renaissance and modernity.

The problem is geography. France, Britain, Germany and such were never part of the ancient world. Rome had colonies there. But, these were (relatively) short lived outposts of civilisation. Civilisation was never a dominant culture in non-Mediterranean "Europe."

In the East, civilisation existed for thousands of years before Rome. They always had roads, kingdoms, bureaucracy, restaurants, banks and such. Even in dark ages, after collapse... these were collapsed civilisations. They didn't revert to tribal, oral societies.

The european Renaissance (excl Italy) was never a Renaissance. It's the actual birth of civilisation in europe. It's the first time writing became a major thing.
Quick scan.. I'm going to be 100% honest. Screenshots looks like it's a hobby project. While scanning the code I came across folders named "files", "classes", "includes" and "scripts" are big warning signs.
I don’t know what the numbers are right now, but I will eat my own hat if the categories you mention are not the majority once we see widespread adoption.

Everything from email to blogs to podcasts to even discussion forums turned into content mill venues of spam. Any new type of digital medium should absolutely be aware of human incentives, because your intentions don’t matter. People have very limited intuition about game theory type of things, even the smart ones who want to build cool shit.
Am I the only one unimpressed with the quality? The render quality and the buffering is poor, it's not quite photorealistic as they claim, it might be possible to render it nicely such that it is photoreal but that's not what they are showing in their own videos. Stablediffusion and Controlnet exist but what this needs is probably just some better sampling and attention to preloading.

His responsibility?

Due to moral and ethics of course. I can't go to a burger flipper restaurant without a bad feeling if I know that the person working behind the counter is basically a modern slave and also works 40h but doesn't have any rights at all.

It's hard for me to say 'i want worker rights' and ignore everyone around me.

And as a backup mechanism: guess what? It can happen to you. But also your family or friends might be in the position. So it is also beneficial to fight for this for your friends and family.

It's the same shit with equal pay: I would have less strss if my wife would earn similar to me so I don't have the pressure to always work in my job to make it for my family.

The why is answered in the first link, I'll copy paste it for the lazy:

> Pick them carefully, don’t skimp, and make sure they have good support. Because when things go pear-shaped, you really want to be able to actually talk to someone to change your web server or e-mail DNS records (or even DNS servers) to somewhere else.

> Big registrars can’t afford any support costs since they prefer to squeeze the price down as far as possible, and therefore they prefer to simply lose or outright drop any customer in case of any and all problems. Conversely, small registrars may charge more, but have better (i.e. actually existing, and sometimes even dedicated and personal) support for when things go wrong, and have a vested interest in keeping you as a customer.

> A small registrar might also be so small as to know you personally, which will help monumentally against any social engineering attacks.

FWIW: There are a bunch of ways to "do" php execution, and a lot of them are wrong. That's not exactly PHP's fault, just that there's been a lot of blind-leading-the-blind.

Assuming that you're not spinning up and tearing down a container for every request, you want to be sure you're running php with a php-fpm configuration (preferably talking over a unix socket) -- this is the fastcgi process manager, which maintains a pool of "hot" php interpreters for you that are immediately ready to execute code for an inbound request. This is usually good enough for most applications without going into the weeds on things like opcode caching, but that's all available as options too.

I'd be happy to help troubleshoot this with you if you're interested. I've also got a fully automated build script that works pretty well. You can find my contact info via the link in my profile. I promise it doesn't have to take anywhere near 300ms for php to reply to a request.
I see couple singletons calls in those examples. Is it considered a good practice in PHP now, or was it made to simplify the demoed code?
> I know this is HN, but can we please stop drawing these vague parallels between basic programming concepts and the functioning of the human brain?

No, because I literally don't remember my to do list after writing to my EDC notebook. The only thing I know is, it's in the notebook. So I only know the address of my to do list. I'm a literal sitting duck if I leave my notebook at home.

> I cannot tell you with complete confidence whether writing stuff down improves recall or diminishes it ...

I can tell you because I observe myself over 5+ years since I started to write my daily plans consistently to my notebook.

> I could posit that writing actually improves your memory, because the minute movements of your arm require more of your brain to compute, therefore creating more neural connections and possibilities of recall.

What it improves is not the "verbatim memory", but the concepts you work on. Working on something slowly, and with a reflection medium (i.e. pen & paper) allows your brain to refine the thing you're working on better and store it as a concept, rather than memorized string.

> This is likely just as wrong, but demonstrates that thinking up some vague explanation is insufficient to make a point about a system as complex as the human brain.

Some time ago I found an interesting PDF about graph layout algorithms in general [0]. Nothing groundbreaking, but it also covers approaches for orthogonal layouts (aka only horizontal/vertical edge paths like in your fourth condition) and I liked how straightforward it is.

To meet all these criteria would indeed be amazing. For 5) you may get semi-reliable results by doing the layout deterministically and optimize for things like short edge length, so adding new nodes would just push around the rest a little bit. But good luck avoiding crossings at the same time.
