Philosophical question. I learned the pronunciation of Euler long ago, but I still sometimes use the incorrect pronunciation because I want to make sure people who don't know the correct pronunciation understand what I'm about to say.

Is the correct pronunciation of Euler equivalent to clever code?

Don't get uppity about "almost every metric". It's quite possibly true, after all. But then again we're defining the metrics aren't we, with all our recency bias and modern philosophy on life.

A high divorce rate is a positive thing if it means people are getting out of bad marriages and living poverty free independent lives. We have a lot of civil law around divorce that makes it expensive and painful, but not Henry 8th.

It doesn't have big sponsors.

Very few languages succeed just on their merits, without big sponsors.
"Well, how does one verify that an entity understands what a rock is? "

For starters, it would mean, that it can reliable detect a rock on an image, e.g. recognizing the characteristical traits of a rock.

Currently a apple gets recognized as an iPod, when there is a label on it saying so.

"When we put a label saying “iPod” on this Granny Smith apple, the model erroneously classifies it as an iPod in the zero-shot setting,’ "

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/mar/08/typograph...

So this specific flaw might have been fixed by now, but the general shortcoming is, that it has no understanding of the concept of an apple.

Or a rock. Or a human. It just "knows" certain pixels arranged in a certain way get the lable apple.

"The education system clearly has no idea how to test for understanding of literally anything."

And that is very strong hyperbole. There are many, many flaws in the education system, but they do know how to test knowledge (in person). They just do not know how to scale it cheaply, hence the stupid multi choice tests and co.

It depends on what the charge is. In most cases the government wouldn't care, or they would favor them not being married for tax issues or to void legal protections. They certainly could try to prove you are married, but they would need some reason to want to. It's more likely one spouse would want to prove they it during a divorce.

I think the underlying issue that no one wants to admit is that probably “too many” people go to university

That’s not something the author, Caplan, is afraid to admit. He wrote a whole book arguing that [1]. He also happens to be a libertarian and staunch capitalist economist.

His argument (in his book) is that most university degrees (apart from engineering and other hard-core technical programs) are worthless. That everyone knows it but that it’s taboo to admit it. That what people are actually getting a degree for is to signal a level of basic intelligence and diligence/conscientiousness to prospective employers. He calls this the signalling hypothesis. He contrasts this with the human capital hypothesis: a belief that people actually go to university to learn and improve themselves. It’s a fascinating argument he presents!

The begining of a Star Wars The Force Awakens review - it'a not done yet, but I believe it lasts about 12-13h at this time.

He also has a response to a hbomberguy video (that's also an analysis of Dark Souls 2) that lasts something like 10h, and multiple 3+ hours reviews of games and movies.

Pretty crazy that it's entirely scripted and is carefully edited - for 10+ hours!

And I'd argue he has solid analysis in general!
Are there any research papers on the details?
Similar thought, I expected the hbomberguy videos like the 2h investigation into the Roblox Oof sound. Or the 3.5h Deus Ex review.

"Increasingly, domestic work, such as childcare, cooking, cleaning, etc., is so expensive that you'd need to make an above average wage just to afford it."

Most people don't pay for domestic work. Most people do the chores themselves. Childcare costs can be an issue in some situations. I don't see us ever going back to single income families on a large scale. It's pretty simple, costs are too high and real pay continues to erode.
While i generally agree, i must add that there are kind and loving people who work in hospice care that genuinely will go out of their way to help you, even on their unpaid days if you need assistance. Now, why the company would make unpaid days when nurses are still needed is another discussion.

But during my mother's in home hospice care, the nurses were extremely kind, even still coming when my father had covid, just wearing gloves and masks. The nurses were such an incredible help, and while I'm sure it cost a significant amount of money, the care we received was top notch and was worth every cent.

How can I repurpose this website to address a new market?
We built https://justbooked.com/ to provide office catering and food to teams at companies as an empoloyee perk. Pre-pandemic/pre-remote and hybrid workforce we did really well.

However now that the market has gotten smaller due to hybrid and remote workforces it's not as profitable a space.

With that being said, we spent a lot of time and money developing this awesome platform that allows customers to order from vendors and have whatever they ordered delivered at a set date/time.

Any ideas on how we can repurpose this technology and brand? Any other markets or opportunities that this will work for?

For desktop systems the EDID data is not always reliable. Besides, you don't want the screen size, you want the viewport size and the DPI.
If it's more efficient, as long as market forces outweigh "localist" forces, globalisation will continue down the gradient¹ to some minimum "energy state".

The amount of money involved means that to tip that balance, you need a very strong, coherent and stable localist sentiment. The complexity of the system and the willingness of individuals to attempt to wiggle though to the minimum means you need a very strong, durable and controlling government to keep the unstable system together in a way that persists for a very long time: at least many decades and beyond. This is tricky to do when countries that don't enforce localism probably will appear to advance more and faster, and especially tricky when you think that the very people who want localism the most also probably chafe the most at the idea of a more centrally-controlled economy.

It's certainly more than possible that in the long, long run, the localist countries are the tortoises and the globalist ones the hares, but it's a hard sell to the public during that period when neighbours have ample food and electricity and infrastructure and you don't because you're still working on DIYing the supply chains.

1: this is a changing gradient: you might find that where the minimum is changes over time. For example what was once Germany² became Japan, then Taiwan and now China. This will continue, probably via South and SE Asia to Africa.

2: "Made in Germany" was originally an involuntary mark of an inferior imported product into the UK. Relevant in this context, because circa the 1880s, Germany had strong protectionist policies and thus had governmentally-forced local, low-quality and cheap (to other countries) industrial capacity. A century later and it's a mark of pride, so the tortoise is, if not in the lead, not doing too badly! That Germany was wrecked in the interim by two World Wars on the trot makes it hard to extrapolate that success onto other countries going forwards from the present.

Critics pop out of the woodwork whenever it's mentioned on HN, but most of them have very little meaningful experience with WP. The ecosystem around it is huge and mature and if you work with the right partners it's a remarkably hassle free way for a business to serve tens of millions of users. Most of the issues with plugins are resolved simply by being picky about which plugins you install, you are not required to use any, you can code everything yourself if you think that's safer (hint: often, it's not).

> Clearly, it takes a tremendous amount of skill to solve such a hard problem with such a small amount of code.

Wrong. It is extremely easy. The code isn't golfed. It is regular J code that could be written by anyone who's looked at J for more than 5 minutes. They've not even copied it right! I was confused for a second at what gt was, but it's just a mistake from copying >.

The other paragraph is also nonsense. It's just in a different language. Don't hand it off to python (or whatever mainstream lang) programmers, hand it to array programmers and they'll do just fine. If I were to be provocative I'd say that the J is vastly easier to read write and understand than the equivalent in any other (non array) language.

I realized what it was because of the reply comment but I clicked it anyways because I am on Mozilla Firefox and by default YouTube videos don't autoplay.

iirc Google Chrome has some bizzare byzantine(?) rule engine that determines whether a website is allowed to autoplay and I suspect (with no evidence) that the rules are set up so YouTube can autoplay videos without prompting the user.

Do you have a source for any of those claims? Higher divorce rate or rate of violence?
reminder: "happiness" is a construct that varies wildly from one culture to another, and even from one family or person to another.

By contrast, happiness as "less misery" is generally more agreed-upon, where misery is deep physical pain, starvation, serious disease, early deaths of friends/family, etc. Pain caused by loss is greater than pleasure gained by attainment.

Examples:

- some people crave variety/stimulation/entertainment/excitement, others could care less.

- some people care about living a long life, others care about living a fulfilling life.

- some people crave social standing, others could care less.

- some people value education and knowledge, others do not.

- some people value "freedom," others prefer to make fewer decisions.

I know that, I'm a HAM radio operator.

I was just using the 50 Hz as an example of something that was chosen pretty arbitrarily. I always thought the 50 Ohm was also chosen like that. I had no idea there were serious technical considerations in choosing it.

I should have written 50 Ohm, not Hz in the first sentence of my post though, that was a mixup. But I'm very aware of it.

So you assume that people are too stupid (a fair assumption) to know the correct decision to take . Who is to say that you (or the govt) are not stupid, in the eyes of others? The arrogance here that you actually think you know better than others (again a fair assumption) and you want your way to be the only way(the really evil part).

>I am asking why you are okay with the outcome where 99% of people are dead.

Do you have any real life experiences? this happens all the time, why the fuck do you keep repeating that I actually _want_ people to die? Really evil things happen, when you try and help people even if it is for their own good without their consent. Often _more_ than 99% people will die if you do that. Let me repeat: you do not have enough life experiences. Let me also say another thing: you do not read enough history especially of the 'extermination' kind. There is also a good possibility, that you are a nerd/sociopath if you do not understand the concept of live, and let live.
Ahh, taking a moment to bask in the ignorance. If nothing else car accidents are going to kill some of them.

You’re arguing that billions of doctors visits for hundreds of millions of people save save exactly 0 lives and cost exactly 0 lives. That seems unlikely, but even still 0 = 0.
Right - the argument here seems totally silly.

Not an expert by any means, but I see nobody else has answered so I'll give it a shot. In the less extreme case, the seller has no choice but to sell or go under, so they'll take the best offer they can get. In the more extreme case, there is no choice because the seller has already taken on some debt under conditions that give the creditors first claim on assets. Then it's easy for the rentiers to buy up the debt and then wait - usually not long - for the company to run out of operating funds and trigger their own effective acquisition.

I once worked at a startup that suffered a similar fate. They had taken on some debt - a small amount really - during desperate times. Later, before the debt was paid off, they ran out of operating funds. Boom. Game over. The company shut down, most employees were immediately let go except for a few charged with liquidating the assets and wrapping up all the IP which went into storage somewhere never to be used again.

It sucked. That creditor probably made a tiny bit more than they had loaned originally, while everyone else lost. And the only way their own business model worked was to do the same thing over and over and over again, destroying enough aggregate value that even the residue they skimmed off the top could pay for their yachts or third vacation homes.
It's still a useful generic exercise for beginners.
Although I recommend starting with a simpler syntax like sexpr, you can get more practice with less code.

For a deeper exercise, I recommend compiling to machine code instead of stopping at bytecode [1]; you can learn assembly along the way, which is more satisfying than compiling to C.

They are so very much "it depends" that there's not much point. You have a million possible choices to make all of which will move the number around.

Very roughly for feasibility I would say the sale price should be four to five times the oneoff BOM cost, plus allocate $50k upfront for NRE including certifications. Experienced hardware developers can do better than that, but if you've not done one of these before you need to budget for errors.

good summaries of each plan that still pretty high level but they have the ability to dive deeper with the "compare plans" button

ultimately though - the best pricing pages are the ones that convert the most. each of the tools I listed are all going after slightly different target customers who all probably want to see different things on a pricing page. just like with landing pages I think pricing pages deserve attention when it comes to a/b testing
Amazon makes it very easy to see the 4/3/2/1-star ratings just by clicking the rating you want on the left after clicking the rating on the item page. Not saying all the reviews are legit, but they do let you see the poor ratings, which I find very helpful.
