Comfy is harder if you've only used gradio, just like Blender's modal interface was "too complicated" if you'd only used Autodesk products.

Don’t ricochet me with downvotes, I’m simply trying to answer that particular question.
Power grids operate like marginal cost markets. Why would I as a consumer buy more expensive nuclear power when abundant renewables are available?

That is why the comment started with, (knowing you are not the same person as GP):

> I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding how power grids work. They are generally not monopolistic markets anymore.

In a monopolistic market what you propose is how it worked. The government/utility decided what power generation it wanted and the customers paid the resulting electricity rates without any choice.

Given the possibility of cheap distributed generation today what will happen if you force nuclear costs on consumers is that they will build local renewable generation and lower their grid utilization. Like we see with rooftop solar, just on a much grander scale.

The end result is again a marginal price market, but now with added inefficiencies.

A spare bedroom tax doesn't change the average space per person, but it does increase the median space, as well as dramatically reducing the cost.

As for tax avoidance, that's a problem, but not insurmountable. For example a similar idea operates for social housing.
I feel the problem with the way the UK builds apartments is just so unsatisfying. The ones built targetting the luxury demographic seem to be habitable and provide ammenities that a commuinity would have. Such as grassland and seperate outdoor space.

Outside of these the rest just don't provide actual living spaces. They seem to be thrown up without any care for quality of living.

Edit: I do agree with you, I just wish living in an apartment didn't feel so reclusive.

There's no Digg-that-was to move back to. Digg in 2023 is only connected to old Digg by a $500k check and domain transfer. They eventually added comments, but it seems sparse.

> I never met anyone who didn't equate "lab leak" with an intentional act by china

You must have a very conspiratorial group of friends / contacts !

I followed the whole covid story pretty closely, and as I recall "lab leak" was taken by almost everyone as "accidental lab leak". Was the lab perhaps doing some type of "gain of function" research that they were not meant to be doing? TBD, but the massive (as it turns out) initial over-reaction to covid in China certainly doesn't look like something they intended to inflict on themselves (as well as eventually the rest of the world).
It's marketing in action, though Chris Lattner's reputation from LLVM and Swift has a lot to do with why it quickly gained a high profile in these circles.

Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. But who do you think has a vested interest in that meme being repeated? Mojo is a commercial, closed source language implementation backed by $30M of investor cash looking to turn a profit.

I wish them luck and watch with interest. Like a lot of people I've had "write a very fast Python and ??? and profit" on my todo list for a while (it remains below "job to pay the bills" though) because there's been obvious user interest for some years, although it's not clear if that translates to much commercial demand. I think if they are successful and if they remain closed source, an open source clone will appear soon after, and within a year or two will match or outperform them on reported performance, but they will still have a business for the same sorts of reasons Red Hat remains profitable.

Reddit is eating itself alive.

You flagged this post (Total Recall: the people who never forget) as a repeat or repost. But the FAQ for reposts allows for reposts that didn't get a lot of attention and/or are older than a year. The duplicate older post you quote didn't get a lot of attention and is older than a year.

I don’t think “I would’ve moved rates a few months earlier or later” is a super compelling counter argument. That seems close enough as to be a rounding error in most scenarios, and indeed in this scenario it seems (again, so far) like it’s playing out pretty okay, all things considered.

I would be very careful of ascribing a motive or singular opinion to “the market.” It’s way too easy to just project your own theses onto it.

Nice article. Fascinating stuff indeed.
Of course the majority of discussions are US-centric when most major websites & apps started in the US, because it is/was the largest economy, and it's the largest primary English-speaking population in the world, and has a pretty high rate of Internet access and usage of those particular kinda of sites & apps.

There's also the fact that what the US is just more important than other countries by virtue of being such a huge chunk of the global economy. What happens in the US has repercussions to people that live in other countries in a way that is much less true of almost every other country in the world.

If the US had a population of 70M and the UK had a population of 340M and the GDPs were reversed - it would be the other way around.
And how many of these 8% are in the top XX millions user subreddit, how many of the 92% are moderators of the infinite list of < 200 users subreddit ?
chat.openai.com has about 2B visitors per month with an average visit duration of 7 minutes (https://www.similarweb.com/website/chat.openai.com/). It is not unreasonable to expect that every visit costs OpenAI about $0.10 dollars; which they pay directly to Microsoft. In effect, this means that Microsoft's revenue is 200 million per month or 2.4B per year if this continues like this. That's already equal to 1% of Microsoft's total revenue of 2022. Note that this is chat.openai.com only but I can imagine that the API also has quite some traffic. Oh and wait, on top of this Microsoft has a 49% ownership of OpenAI and OpenAI is still the best LLM in town, so it's not unreasonable to expect further growth.

> [...], but it's not at all clear that their lead is going to stick long enough to turn it into anything

People are saying that since January, but here we are in July and GPT-4 is still the best model. While everybody is catching up, they have (1) the processes in place to come up with new ideas and get them working (2) a head-start of many months (note that GPT-4 was basically done in Sep 2022).
It seems to me that:

1. Don't send referrers at all because some sites pick up on them.

2. Don't send referrers for specific sites because we know they pick up on them.

Are essentially the same, except that with (1) you're also losing all the benefits.

Or maybe HN just shouldn't muck about with referrers at all. IMHO the entire thing seems petty and childish from the Asahi people (and also jwz and others), but they have a right to be that. Then again, you'll end up with lots of confusion in the comments and the work-arounds are trivial (see: all the archive links to bypass paywalls).

The Lobsters "compromise solution" will result in links working for some and then not for others, which would be very confusing.

I don't envy your position, but but adding noreferrer to everything seems like the worst option.

That's a weird way to defend censorship of lab leak theory. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

> At the time the US had a president that routinely used race-baiting as a divisive political technique

What exactly did the US President, at that time, say specifically that exacerbated attacks on Asians, after breakout of COVID, and more importantly could be used as a justification for Worldwide censorship of lab leak theory? Don't forget that the lab leak theory was being suppressed on behest of the US Government by Big Tech and that suppression of information was not limited to just the US but entire World. As far as I remember, Trump was only the President of USA. He wasn't the President of the World. So you can't blame Trump if Big Tech is doing a Worldwide censorship of lab leak theory. I don't buy that argument at all.

Given how people are reacting here, they could literally release it at the same time as mass vaccinating their own population with pre-stockpiled vaccine, assert that it was simply the massive superiority of Chinese science that allowed it and western governments/media would immediately swallow this story whole.

The evidence about what was happening is not only overwhelming but notice how not a single government is going to lift a finger about it. The NIH just refunded this work and the Biden admin doesn't give a shit. They're all deep in denial at this point and will never even admit to what has happened, let alone start WW3 over it.
> I think that's why you get Australians who seem to care more about the US election than our own, and every second conversation seems to have an American controversy slipped into it here.

My guess is, in that context, the US is a neutral target which everyone can have a grab without too much risk of ...say... awkwardness.

Plus, as the world's most powerful nation, the US did many talkable things. It's like a gift that keeps giving, and as soon as you think the topic is finished, the US just stands up and tosses you more.

But I don't think talk == care, though.
What's more pervasive is the predominantly American views and values that get amplified through these discussion sites, HN included. Almost any discussed topic will attract a majority of US commenters, projecting their utilitarian and outwardly-expressive worldview on worldly matters.
A bit of irony is that the internet was first designed as a concept for a network that might survive a nuclear attack.

The title is "An America-Less Internet", and then the user attempts to browse... all American companies' websites.

I really like the idea of switching my internet experience to all non-American companies/websites. Next to Russia and China, America is the most extreme global superpower. I like the idea of getting content and services from less-controversial countries, with [presumably] less controversial businesses and communities.

On the GeoIP side, I see what's causing confusion. Using iplocation.net to look up one of Fastmail's CDN IPs (103.168.172.42), different databases register it as either Melbourne, Australia, or New Jersy, USA. If you check ARIN, the IP block is registered in South Brisbane, Australia, and APNIC has it registered to FastMail in Melbourne, Australia. Personally I would go with the Internet Registry listings before a geolocation database, as that's more likely to be where that IP is terminated (according to its IP block registration).
Ahh, most of the cost is RAM. Then GPU then CPU.

Look at it as if it's using unused parts of the signal spectrum to fit in another signal instead. Sometimes less error resilience in exchange for more data is a worth while trade, see for instance 256-QAM compared to 4-QAM (although not quite the same, I admit).

I get what you mean, it's a misuse of the underlying technology and a crude hack in some ways, but if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid.
The US has the largest cultural blocks on the western internet, but I don't think they quite form the majority, just a plurality.
There's a lot of internet out there, but usually it's easiest (for consumers, and for content creators) to focus on the overall "biggest" things, which is often-times the US-thing.

My name is Burhanuddin Rashid, and I am a software engineer with 8+ years of experience in developing mobile applications. I am an open-source enthusiast and a Google Developer Expert in Dart and Flutter.

I owe most of my career to the open-source community. I got exposed to this when I open-sourced my first Android PhotoEditor library, which reached around 3.8K stars and is still active. This led me to an opportunity to speak at Droidcon Berlin 2021, sharing my open-source learnings.

Work-wise, currently, I am working remotely from SFO for a startup called Rock, which is a chat plus task management app. We are a remote-first company and building a product that allows users to work remotely in an asynchronous manner with fewer meetings.

My biggest contribution so far in the product was to improve code and app quality by introducing testing to the team.

Before that, I was the Android tech lead to build an offline-first app to manage package delivery with real-time location tracking, collaborating with a remote team. Apart from this, I've also worked on web and backend technologies like React and Spring Boot, which gives me additional knowledge of how the system works end-to-end.

Also, in my free time, I learn and share my knowledge by writing blogs, newsletters, Youtube videos, or speaking at conferences.

I don't see how that has any relation to Mojo which seems to be a compiled, lowish-level language on the same vein as Rust/C++/Swift?

Maybe because it has a Python "fallback"? I don't find Python particularly "smalltalky" beyond its dynamism.

That hasn't stopped families from getting multiple cars thus far, so why should that change?

"And owning a self-driving car is likely to be even more expensive."

I sincerely doubt that. Just think of all the potential for selling services and preload deals on what is basically a rolling networked computer with the user literally captured inside.
