Or, like many things, the labor intensive parts will be automated by ever more autonomous farm devices allowing more biologic processes to grow food and less chemical intervention. The cost an autonomous drone that uses electricity to zap pests and weeds, charged off panels in the fields, over time will be significantly less than applying mass amounts of synthetic chemicals over a large surface area. The biological processes that yield soil are very efficient and essentially free at extreme scales, so long as the labor isn’t so expensive. And I think most people are wagering on automation taking over an awful lot of tasks. There have been plenty of HN postings of companies proving the basic techniques out, which work but are too expensive today. That will change. I think this is more likely than vertical farming or that we can continue to blast the environment with chemicals that interfere with fundamental biological processes at extreme scales.

What I'm saying is that, Bible parables notwithstanding, it's not the individual ant that achieves these incredible things. The bulk of computational/cognitive work is done by the colony as a system. This means that there's little sense in comparing brainpower of an ant with that of a human. A more informative comparison is that between an ant colony and human society - here, humans may come out badly, but that's arguably because our societies are overcomplicated in order to compensate for individual humans having too much brainpower :).
My suggestion to you would be to focus on your long term strategic goals. Job hopping optimizes near term but will leave you without a solid network of allies and no big base of trusted lieutenants to draw from when you are trying to build a team.

That last one matters a lot when you find yourself at 40 and needing to staff your startup with people you trust that you know are good because you've worked long enough with them to know their work ethic and that they can do the job and will stick it out all the way to shipping v2.

Your career is more than comp.

> From an economic standpoint, there is no sense in small scale farming.

So long as there is residual value in the "hand-me-down" equipment, there will be economic value in operating it. At the same time it is not economically sensible for large scale farming to continue to operate old and outdated equipment, so the smaller scale farm actually fills a useful role in the economy.

> What do studies show about bullying? In particular, I’m curious about bullying in the context of age segregated schools as compared to age-grouped schools.

Here is one output from ChatGPT 4 to consider:

> Bullying is a complex issue that affects individuals across various age groups and contexts, including schools. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to address bullying, research provides some insights into the dynamics of bullying in different educational settings.

> In age-segregated schools, where students are grouped according to their age or grade, studies have shown that bullying is quite prevalent. Factors such as peer pressure, social hierarchies, and competition can contribute to the development of bullying behavior. Older or more dominant students may bully younger or less dominant students as a means of establishing social dominance.

> Age-grouped schools, also known as multi-age or mixed-age classrooms, involve grouping students of different ages together for learning. In this context, research has suggested that bullying may be less common, as the social dynamics are different from those in age-segregated settings. In age-grouped schools, students have more opportunities to interact with a diverse range of peers, fostering a sense of community and reducing the likelihood of bullying.

> However, it's important to note that no school setting is immune to bullying, and the effectiveness of any approach depends on multiple factors, such as the school's culture, values, and the implementation of anti-bullying policies and programs. Efforts to prevent and address bullying should be comprehensive and involve the entire school community, including students, teachers, and parents

The biggest fertilizer is ammonia. It's made from nitrogen that comes from the air and hydrogen that comes from methane. Conveniently, methane can be burnt to create the high temperature environment in which the reaction must take place. The other major fertilizer is potash. It is mined, but can also be extracted from underground brines, both natural and those produced from water pumped into deep wells and brought back up.

If you took away the methane, you could heat the reactor electrically and produce hydrogen from water. It would be more expensive and use more energy, but it would work. Although potassium is a nonrenewable resource it is not likely to run out any time soon.
That’s bad enough, but it is not the problem with defining an “epsilon”, it’s a problem.

Another one is that you would lose transitivity on equality. With a 1% epsilon, you would have

1.000 == 1.005
1.005 == 1.010
1.010 == 1.015

but

1.000 != 1.015

You also would have to be careful on how to define that 1% error range. the naive "x is equal to all numbers between 0.99x and 1.01x" would mean 1.0 would be considered equal to 0.99, but 0.99 would not be considered equal to 1.0 (1.01 times 0.99 is less than 1.0)

You also lose that, if a == b and c == d it follows that a + c == b + d.

The behavior around zero also will go against intuition. If you consider 0.99 and 1.0 to be equal, do you really want 1.0E-100 and -1.0E-100 be different?
OK but there are a lot of IQs. One is your traditional Academic IQ. Another one is your Social IQ like your rizz level. Another one is your Financial IQ which is the number of your net worth. Finally, there is your Height IQ which is your number of feet and inches or meters of tallness.

I don't know. I don't find it difficult to believe capitalism can gradually morph into something else in say 500 or 1000 years, so that you could point at one end (let's say early 20th century) and say "this was capitalism" and at the other end 1000 years from now and say "this isn't capitalism by any reasonable meaning of the word" (I mean, not "future capitalism" but something that supersedes it and has a different shape). And it could also reasonably be believed by future historians that there was an era called "late stage capitalism" just like they now call a period of history the late middle ages.

It's just that in the span of some generations you wouldn't be able to recognize the phenomenon slowly unfolding.

I'm reminded of how the Roman Empire at the time of its big split wasn't acknowledged by its citizens as "Western" or "Eastern", and its slowly unfolding undoing wasn't recognized either. Had you asked a Roman citizen, he/she would have been surprised by the question: there was only one Roman Empire. And they believed it would last forever.

I know there is a fair bit of division on this point but I've always liked type mixing, in languages where this is available, to handle signal values and preferred separate variables where it is not. I'd prefer to `if (v IS NULL)` a nullable float compared to checking a constant value - or else to use a guard value to test the validity i.e. `if x = FREQUENCY_SET // enter logic involving the frequency stored in v` - that approach is even better if you can use tuples/structs to glue the status and value fields together.

I am a quickly crustifying developer who was an enthusiatic value packer in their younger years but I've changed my tune to be less afraid of using more variables if they are clearer - even if that comes at a cost to data efficiency (and like, an extremely negligible cost in most situations). Though I don't have any objections to value packing for serialization - that's a fundamentally different domain.

The post alleges Bluesky pull based, which would imply it's like RSS but with signatures:

I was hoping they would employ both: push and pull. Some scenarios I could imagine pull being more efficient, and sometimes push. For instance if I run my own server I don't need to be pushed all content when I sleep. However when I return it could do pulls and then continue pushing. It doesn't look like it's clever like that.

Here's what I find funny: many of the people who extoll the virtues of capitalism also bemoan the death of small businesses and family farms. Or at least they pay it lip service.

Why is this funny? Because small businesses and family farms are inherently more socialist than capitalist. Why? Because it is closer to owning the means of production and capturing the excess value of labor by those who are, well, laboring. These are socialist principles.

Many (including in these comments) will repeat the propaganda that small farms (or businesses) can't survive. Yet farmer's markets, which many people like, can offer better prices and products than those that come out of agribusiness and go through distribution chains to end up on supermarket shelves. Again, the value has simply shifted to many layers of capital owners instead of the farmers.

This is a myth because it's been artificially created. Agribusiness is predatory in nature. Things like seeds are now a subscriptio model. Modern farm equipment often can't be repaired. It requires another predatory subscription. Yet, those large agricultural conglomerates also operate their own farms and don't have to pay those predatory prices.

This farm is in Harvard MA - e.g the exurbs of Boston. Harvard is one of these communities that has large minimum lot sizes and restrictions on commercial property so it retains its rural feel. It's pretty, possibly not the best use of property in Boston these days, kinda snooty, and is certainly not a cheap place to run a family farm.

A couple towns south where I live there are many active small farms. They either specialize in CSAs or have farmstands that sell a mix of their own produce and imported (e.g California) produce. It certainly is possible to farm - but you have to adapt to the times I guess.

My family also has a large commercial dairy farm in upstate NY. Very different farm then when I was growing up. Went from milking 70 cows to 1100+. From what my cousin's say - the only way is to go big or go home.
It has felt this way to me for years now, really. Somewhere in the last decade or so the top X of almost any genre I enjoy (which spans a large range of fiction) has been... lackluster. Not just in the hipster contrarian sense of "popular therefore bad" but also the lists of books touted as "critics adore this obscure gem" and crowd-sourced "most read/reviewed" and all in between. Certainly a few standouts here and there.

For me the primary issue has been the words, the lexicon, the cadence; it's flat. Seems like writers have learned to write and learned what's right, they've been writing and not reading. There's not much exploration of the form, it's all so grammatically correct. Maybe it's the fault of the editors or typesetters, if those still exist. It's boring, either way.

Secondly it's the themes. Struggle and oppression have always been plot drivers, but it seems like a vast majority of works published in the last decade are just slight variations on "oppressed person struggles to exist within the System, then finds a way to overcome; The End." The Hero's Journey highly compressed, lossily.

Luckily there are hundreds of years and countless intriguing novels written before all this, more than I could ever hope to read in my lifetime. Maybe this is what it is like to age: to recognize truly that nothing is new under the sun; so, go forth by going back, seek that which was once new in its time.

> Floating point numbers lose precision because binary arithmetic doesn't represent decimal in all cases.

That’s not the reason. A counterexample is decimal arithmetic. That represents decimal in all cases, yet loses precision when doing calculations. Once you start doing division that applies even to arbitrarily sized decimal numbers.

The correct reason is because the subset of the reals that is representable as IEEE float isn’t closed under the operations people want to perform on them, including the basic ones of addition, multiplication and division.
