And likewise to all the downvotes who figured my experience was false lol.

No one is saying your specific experience was false, but: what happened to the taxicab industry is simply not something that happens to businesses that even bother to go through the motions of customer service. People were so eager to ditch taxis that they flocked to a largely-illegal, unregulated service that literally involved getting into strangers' private cars.

If your business loses out a model like that, you're doing it wrong. The taxi cartel and their captive regulators were doing it wrong.
This. It works very well on Cemu, except for the parts where you need gyro input.

Because it looks like two decade old game. No one is arguing that it can be fun, but it looks awful.
It’s not the first time we’ve been here , either, with AI although t this time it’s a bit more in the public , ie retail sphere. There are people who will confidently tell you that LLM are the next transistor level invention, and people who will tell you it’s more incremental, like eg an electric pressure cooker - improvement in some ways over what came before, got lots of people using them, but not fundamental. I’m sure there is a better example.

Anyway, the truth is nobody actually knows at this point .

The era of mob control over the unions was pretty bad -- I remember living through it. The unions needed their backs broken to get cleaned up.

Naturally a certain political party seized the moment and tried to eradicate unions all together, sadly with some success. I hope the tide is turning away from that.

Am I informed right that chiplets tend to live not very long in comparison to single chips? I have a friend who uses to repair computers and he claims that "combines" (that is how he calls chiplets) tend to break chip vs plate connections and he can not repair this, all what he can is to replace the whole BGA thing.
Yeah, the QuickJS interpreter is less than a megabyte compare to Node/Deno's >60MB or more install. My use-case was that I wanted something lightweight that I can run on lower-end hardware or in a CI pipeline to generate my site. At first I looked at bash, but I find bash gets unwieldy for more complex operations. I like JS as a scripting language, and QuickJS seemed to fit my YAGNI approach.

Indeed, React the library is generally stable. But React the ecosystem is not; best practices change every 6 months. Libraries gain popularity and then are abandoned, or people just realize the cost of using them. SSR vs SPAs? Wait you're telling me CRA is basically deprecated now? etc etc.
>Unlike openai they dont appear to be focused on fud and replacement.

I do not have a clue what you are talking about. What happened?
It's not just him and is more of a general issue with frontend "thought leadership". Most of them went into it when they were relatively early in their career. There's no 1:1 relationship between years of experience and skill/knowledge of course, but if you pick any random FE influencer on Twitter, chances are they have less experience in the field than the staff engineer in your team. Unfortunately, it shows.

They do have a lot of good advice, and I don't want to throw the baby with the bathwater. But they do get it wrong pretty often, and it does waste hundreds or thousands of hours having to go internally in an engineering org telling people "No, it's not because you read it on the internet that it's true".

A much older equivalent example was how back in the days in the Microsoft world everyone would say you HAD to use stored procedures for performance and security, ignoring prepared statements, so a lot of big companies had internal onboarding classes that always started with debunking it. Kent added a ton of confusion and did a lot of disservice to the unit testing space (the library is good, the philosophy lacks a lot of nuance), some other folks are creating a lot of chaos around SPAs/client vs SSR (they started adding nuance to that more recently), and so on and so forth.

It's part of why the JS ecosystem keeps restarting from scratch over and over instead of building on top and creating vertical innovation. We get there eventually, but it's so much slower than it needs to be.

Is this a joke or trolling attempt?

You seem to be stuck in some weird neocon "they're going to take YOUR stuff from YOUR personal backyard!!!111" fear mindset.

Permaculture is about creating sustainable food supplies in a distributed manner. Those students and high skill workers will be able to gather this food themselves, because it will be ubiquitous, freely available, and local.

>If it's all a community garden, hope you won't mind the IRS coming to take 30%~100%.

Fine by me if the IRS wants to run a garden-to-doorstep program, putting zucchini in a basket and walking it down the block. It's free for the taking anyway, because the idea is creating abundance for all. Seems like a lot of work to provide a relatively useless service IMHO.

Why would the IRS be in charge of food distribution logistics, anyway? You'd think this would be rolled into USDA duties like WIC, etc.
> I’ve long since mentally tagged “timezone handling”, in any language, as a slow zone: let’s stop and really think this through.

I will second you ok that: date & Time handling across timezones was one of the 2 hardest things I've ever worked on that are deceptively simple on the surface. The other was adding localization/making an app translatable to any language after shipping the first version with hard-coded text.
I think this is exactly the right profile for him to have hired. She led advertising (sales) at a top 3 media publisher. This is probably Elon's greatest area of weakness, and she's particularly good at it.

I imagine this will be a bit like SpaceX where Sales and Ops is done by someone very good at that, and engineering is done by Elon.

It takes a realistic, self-aware person to hire someone who's better than them at their weaknesses, and is harder done than said.

I think there's two separate issues. The first which is your main complaint is the poor performance on modern systems of games. Totally agree, it's a combo of laziness, customer acceptance, and schedule/priorities that leads to it. I'm right with you on the frustration.

Tying into that is why I don't do a blanket 60fps in all cases, which is respecting the player's resources. If I was making a tetris clone, where the block falls at a set step every x milliseconds, all I'm doing is wasting their battery with double the frames.
This isn't about warrantys, which are promises to the consumer. This legislation creates a liability to the state, a third party.

> people who are really buying status

Yes, this is a huge area of value, which is why I was careful to write "functional value", because there are different kinds of value.

There are non-functional value which are tangibly important beyond pure function though. e.g As humans aesthetic is important to us, it affects our every day experience, and at a certain point that can even cross over into art. I will admit for some products I will make a choice based on form, and materials, but it's useful to recognise when you are doing this because even on a personal level it doesn't always make sense.

I particularly dislike "status" though, this is a hollow invention of consumerism that intentionally confuses quality and functional value with branding.

I'm not at all an expert in hardware, but I have experience using chiplet-based chips in production and optimizing for them. Those chips are better from a performance per $ point of view, but they don't necessarily achieve the highest absolute performance. The main limiting factor appears to be latency for communication between chiplets. If you write anything with shared mutable memory you are affected by this. Simple atomic operations like compare-exchange is much slower if the threads run on different chiplets.

However I fully expect this to be the future. The performance per $ is what really matters to the bean counters, and us software engineers will just have to write better software to work around it, perhaps with something like NUMA-aware scheduling that understands chiplets.

But that doesn't make any sense. You're in some residential area, it's rush hour, you need to get into the downtown where the action is, and so does everybody else. There isn't one person who also wants to go where you're going? Unlikely.

Ironically, it's demands for minimum compensation that make efficiencies like that go away. Maybe there is some demand for that but not a ton, and only at low prices. Low is better than none when you're making the trip either way. But if you're prohibited from working for less than a threshold amount of money, then you get nothing.
> The proper term is Immunological memory, and is a complicated subject I don't fully grasp.

It’s very obvious. You’re citing a popsci video while accusing others of falling prey to urban legends, and declining to offer references to the people asking for them.

Let me be unequivocal: all the points you’ve made are inaccurate (except #2), because you lack this fundamental understanding of the difference between adaptive and innate immunity, and the value of paratope diversity.

“Getting sick” (i.e. an infection reaching the point where it causes clinical symptoms) is crucial for the development of the adaptive immune response, whereby the body tries “randomized” antibody structures until it develops new ones that can bind to an antigen. Having a broad range of antibodies developed through this process, called somatic hypermutation, is important because your body uses prior antibodies it’s developed as starting points for developing targets against new antigens, so even for rapidly evolving targets like the flu, exposure to previous strains still can help stack the odds in the body’s favor.

Ditch the youtube, and instead find a good literature review on immunology (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2010.07.022). Please stop blowing uninformed hot air.

A few caveats with online inference
Reminds me of the discovery that a group of people with tricked-out cars would gather at the parking lot at the mall on Sunday mornings and sometimes you'd see a pair of them talk and then drive off together, unless it was some other form of "cruising", I'm pretty sure they would go off to race somewhere.
My assumption is that we shouldn’t underestimate the volume of nonsense that a person can tolerate when their attention span has been reduced to banana skin fiber over the course of their lifetime. Combine that with the addictive qualities of the platforms and a desire to harvest maximum stimulation with minimal effort.

Recently I noticed how overwhelming some posts on HN can appear. 400-500 comments, the top rated comment alone splinters into 78 sub-narratives and criticisms. Contrarily I feel like parsing this takes a lot more effort than Twitter. People put a lot more effort in their HN comments compared to a Tweet, and we are held to a different standard here in terms as what we say and how we say it. Also consider the fact that Twitter offers a variety of content while HN offers one primary form (text; I’m purposely excluding what links that are shared offer and am discussing primarily the core of the HN experience which is the conversation on the actual site).

I say all of this to say, how do people have the time in their day to even scroll here? When you follow nobody (unless you subscribe to some users comments with an RSS reader, an option I’m becoming more fond of) and you actually have to do a lot of reading and thinking as compared to a deluge of Tweets that can be grasped in a matter of seconds.

On one hand, this is what makes HN an exceptional website in a way. On the other hand, what makes Twitter appealing to others is what makes it exceptional compared to other websites and why it’s doubtful that the majority of its user base will leave, unless the layout changes.

Overall, I think topics like literacy, intellectual curiosity, taste…and a lack thereof, contribute to why Twitter is either appealing and unappealing (I don’t tweet).

> I think both of these views can be true at the same time: ChatGPT (or, LLMs really) are revolutionary and they won't revolutionize the world the way technologists/researchers say.

This is pretty much what I've seen. ChatGPT (that's 3.5, right? GPT3 was interesting but still pretty laughable) was a massive step forward, and incredibly exciting to witness and interact with. But it still does have limitations, especially if you try to separate hype (which comes from an ecosystem of people who have incentives to hype it) from reality.

Emulated Switch games run fluently on a Steam Deck.....

In difference to previous Nindendo consoles the graphics API of the switch is very similar to "normal" PC/Console graphics APIs. Sure somewhat older ones but you can run many "switch old" PC games on modern hardware, if there are problems they often come from areas like DRM. But most switch games don't have DRM additional to what the switch provides...

I mean this similarity is one of the major reasons why there are so many 3rd party games from smaller studios one the Switch. (Through due to the switch hardware being incredibly slow for modern standards this is increasingly no longer the case as it requires small studios to better optimize their games, and while many of this optimizations are not switch specific at all they still are costly for a small studio).

Through there are some problems, one is that there was no (usable) successor for the chip they used.

My guess is:

They originally wanted to bring out a bit faster "switch pro" but due to a combination of there being no (usable) successor to the chip they have in the Switch and COVID and chip shortage and the CPU market stalling wrt. improvements (when the decision was made), and crypto mining making Nvidea not care about making a Chip for Nintendo they decided to skip it and bring out instead just the OLED upgrade. I.e. they skipped the next console directly went to developing the follow up maybe with the hope of bringing it out a year or so earlier.

But now on one hand the generational improvements in the CPU marked stopped stalling on the other hand maybe their follow up has delays due to technical challenges.

But in the end it's probably a financially good decision to just stretch out the life of the Switch. The only risk is that people will stop buying the switch or switch games because it being so slow that it isn't fun anymore. But given that people will still buy the new Zelda and the amount of money they made with the Switch and saved by cutting the development of the hypothetical direct successor that rally doesn't matter to them. It still sucks for the gamer anyway.

How is "womanizing" a concept that makes sense, or has any meaning in modern times?

If I understand correctly, it describes a man that only has casual relationships with women. The implication being that all woman only want long term committed relationships, and any man doing this must be somehow exploiting or tricking the woman.

Nowadays, it is widely accepted that preferring casual relationships is within the range of normal preferences for both men and women- some people prefer it, others don't. If both women and men can choose and prefer consenting casual relationships, the concept that a man can be a "womanizer" seems to be paternalistic and infantizing to women. It also implies some sort of old fashioned 'duty' on the part of a man to essentially marry anyone he dates, even if they realize they are incompatible, and neither has a desire to stay together.
