I guess my point was the delta between how unsafe people are and how unsafe they feel. While it's important to build and improve systems like transit in a way that helps people feel comfortable, a whole lot of any given car driving majority that would make an argument against safety are probably some of the same people who'd buy a gun to ward against a hypothetical situation where someone is targeting them with another gun.

I never had these fears, the car I already had was just the easier option, until it broke down. If someone were to consult me about my transit experience (albeit in a very different place) I'd tell them "Ya, sometimes there are panhandlers, sometimes there are super drunk people, but tbh I can't remember any specific examples because they're just random background noise from time to time". Meanwhile there are plenty of times I've almost been killed by cars in relatively mundane situations that I can remember specific examples of, including those I almost caused while driving and making a trivial mistake.

Should people be more concerned about hypothetical discomfort resulting from someone asking for money, or the very predictable consumption of time, energy, money, and every day life altering risk of one wrong move by anyone around them?

The latter doesn't mean I never drive, but for the 2-3 weeks a year I might need one, I just rent it, and then I'm reminded of why I don't want one, but it's nice sometimes.

I can’t believe this has to be said here of all places. GPT-4 is not a search engine of factual knowledge. You can not assume anything it says is true and not just a made up grouping of words that look nice together.
I think that would be a mistake and definitely not what they want to do (from their focus on AR in general the last few years).

I think at $1999 for a "base" model, they'll sell millions. I just think that the tech they need to improve (optics and batteries) are hard to miniaturize. Chips and sensors they're the best in the world (in terms of consumer electronics). Batteries are just tough, and despite how good the iPhone is as a camera, it still is easily trounced by dedicated digicams.
UltraEdit

I never understood why there was so much love for BBEdit on Mac and so little love for UltraEdit on Windows.

They were both released around the same time, selling to the same audience just on different platforms.

This was also during a time where there was many options.
There was free competition here, a while ago. OpenCL was formed by Apple, Khronos et al. to stave off CUDA's dominance. The platform languished from a lack of commitment though, and Apple eventually gave up on open GPU APIs entirely. Nvidia continued funding CUDA and scaling it for industry application, and the rest is history. The landscape of stakeholders is just too bitter to unseat CUDA for what it's used for - your best shot at democratizing AI inferencing acceleration is through something like Microsoft's ONNX[0] runtime.

Clever move since Charity Navigator rates you very highly if you spend almost all your charity money on growing yourself like the Harvard Management Company does. I don't outsource my moral judgment so I can safely conclude that HMC isn't a "good charity" as CN calls it.
"Read" is a particularly unlucky verb for this because its past participle and imperative form are written the same way. Most other English verbs wouldn't have this particular ambiguity.

"Never eaten a Carolina Reaper pepper, but I'm looking forward to my first time."

"Never eat a Carolina Reaper pepper; you'll regret it."

Wiktionary has a few dozen irregular verbs that could produce an ambiguity like this one:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:English_irregular_ve...

"Never miscast Magic Missile ..."

"Never shut a door on someone's finger ..."

"Never preset the thermostat to 90 °F before going on vacation..."

"Never put an irregular verb in a position where readers might interpret it ambiguously..."

("... but there's a first time for everything, I guess" / "... you won't be happy with the results")

Images are like any other web asset and can be protected either by the web server (htpasswd) or the application's logic.

I think you've been brainwashed by modern storage services (S3) where the URL is essentially always public and out of your control. It's trivial to password protect an image when it's on your server. I would assume any medical provider would protect their images by checking the session and not serve them via AWS.

America of the latter 20th century was seen as a place where you can go from rags-to-riches in a generation. It's still like that, but social mobility is falling quickly.

Wallstreet buying houses is a continuation of the on-going wealth entrenchment that betrays the ideal of fluid social mobility.
Licensing deals aren’t the same as starting a burger business. Clearly the partnering institutions aren’t living up to par but he’s just licensing and marketing which is a pretty common arrangement for these sorts of things.

I think the discomfort comes from a deep, pretty much unconscious understanding we all have about how capitalism, taken to it logical extremes, will always perpetuate inequality to the extreme degree, and how gross inequality donned up in the guise of philanthropy is still gross inequality.

His content is a direct display of our economic system at the limit, at which point it becomes absurd. When you recognize that this is quite literally the system under which the majority of the world's economics are organized it becomes deeply serious and deeply uncomfortable.

There's also the plain psychological elements surrounding the fact that the content takes something that used to be valued for its moral goodness (generosity, charity) and transforms it into something valued strictly for its economic fruitfulness (means for generating capital) but this is capitalism's totalizing effect at work: because money is such a pure abstraction it's possible to monetize anything thereby killing off the more humane and traditional values that used to make certain pursuits meaningful to humans.
Does pulumi let you write a state reader, so you can add schemas or some kind of validation?
the main thing about LLM's in my opinion is the tokenization part, words are already clustered and converted into numbers(vectors) it's already a big deal. we are using learned weights,
the attention part feels like a brute force approach to learn how those vectors are likely used together (if you add positional encoding as an additional information).

statistics on large amount of amount of data just seems to work after all.
While the book is awesome. And I guess there is a story some where that a programmer working with Aho even build CAD software with awk. Its often not an effort for the faint hearted, even to maintain. Without unit tests, exceptions, and myriad other features, you are doing too much of 'building universe to make apple pie' sort of work to get anywhere.

Same with shell. You begin to give on it for non trivial work.
Anchor Steam was my goto beer for a long time. I really miss Anchor Porter - I found a 6-pack of it back in 2003 while living in Helsinki (I was missing home/California). I ponied up the 18 euros (then) for the 6 pack and drank it like it was a rare gift - it was the last one they had.
Reading this story, you're subjected to the winner's bias. There's another guy out there somewhere who also threw away his career, wife and home, but never replaced it all, never found whatever he assumed was out there, and never wrote a blog patting himself on the back and spewing life advice.
Is there a clear winner between pulumi and cdktf for new projects?
Some of the younger readers might not realize that Anchor was at the forefront of the American craft brewing renaissance. Back then Canadians would laugh at USA beer as all tasting like water. Only Europe had craft brew. Fast forward to now and the market is saturated. There are more craft breweries per capita in the USA than in Germany. We’re beyond peak craft brew.

This may be unpopular, but maybe there’s something to be said for devaluing money and hard work? “Hard Work” is an inherited ethic from Puritanism in the western world. It is often implied that hard work will reap benefits, but the benefits are hit or miss and the rewards are sometimes promised salvation or riches in an afterlife. While I won’t comment on the latter, I think the ethic of hard work is often oversold, and benefits those in power rather than those who issue the effort.

And before someone cries wolf here, this isn’t advocating for laziness or hedonism. I think humans need work. We need to put effort into something whether that’s tilling a field, painting a canvas, or writing a program for a computer. I think everybody needs to experience real challenges to their understanding of life and how other people live. But I don’t think there’s an obvious measuring stick for what that looks like.

As for devaluing money, people need to know how to manage a household, but I think fewer worshippers at the alter of money is a net win.
$2000 I could see, but I do think more people are overspending on CPU for gaming PCs by probably double. Maybe not overspending if you're getting a tangible productive value out of it, but I suppose they didn't specify gaming. For gaming specifically I'd probably try and balance the useful GPU power I need with the minimum necessary CPU to prevent bottlenecking.

Part of the reason I haven't upgraded my intel macbook pro, is just because I think the cost all-in seems outrageous, even for someone who exclusively works on mac. I can't rationalize $500/16gb of ram or w/e. I haven't upgraded my gaming PC much, because the cost of GPUs very quickly overwhelms the performance improvement I'd get value out of compared to my severely out of date gear that I found by the roadside.

> E.g. if A patents X and some large company B wants to use X and A refuses, then B cannot use X even if they offer millions.

How does this situation improve in any way if X is a trade secret? Under what circumstance would company A be willing to accept payment to make X open, but not willing to license X as a protected patent?

It sounds like you'd be in exactly the same situation except that there would be a massive collective action problem trying to figure out how much the world should pay A to make the invention open and who should pay it, and also A and B would have multi-million-dollar incentives to engage in corporate espionage and counter-espionage that achieves no progress.

> The fact that the sec let Coinbase last this long is proof the system is over complicated and cannot be maintained efficiently.

There are numerous other possible reasons it took this long for the SEC to take action, other than the system being overly complicated or inefficient (lack of workers, bigger fish to fry [prioritization], the evolution of Coinbase into less of a commodities trader and more of a securities trader). Complications and inefficiencies usually require additional time and effort, but additional time and effort is not an absolute indication that something is complicated or inefficient.
I know quite a bit about Anchor, who used to be an SF institution. After the new Giants baseball park was built in 2000 Anchor as an independent local company were going to build an additional brewery there in 2013.
https://www.sfgate.com/business/bottomline/article/Anchor-Br...

Sadly this never came to fruition due to the big beer bust a few years later. Lagunitas sold out to Heineken, Anchor to Sapporo etc - there was a big drop off in sales due to all the endless 6 month lifespan craft IPAs that split the market (many of these went bust too).

Lagunitas and Anchor are now a shadow of their former selves after cost cutting etc. Keith Greggor's innovations when he was running Anchor are now a distant memory. The recent mediocre rebranding of Anchor is an indicator of how out of touch Sapporo are with the market.
Their Christmas ale is different every year. I coincidentally just went on the tour of the Anchor Brewery last weekend. They already had a preview of what this year's Christmas ale will be, but they only sample it there.
No. I had momentarily put up a comment asking for someone to vouch the post, but this is against the rules.
Modern disappearing scrollbars in Linux are an awful design:

- as scrollbar in browser disappears, I cannot see the position on the page and whether it is scrollable at all

- as scrollbar handle is very narrow, it is difficult to drag it

You might ask, why drag the scrollbar handle? Well, when you have tens thousands of lines in the terminal, it will take a long time to scroll it using touchpad or mouse wheel.
I read an article in a craft brewing mag (might’ve been “Celebrator” circa 2003) that pointed out how the craft brewers association kept revising upward the number of barrels/year production that still qualified as “craft” so that it continued to accommodate Sam Adams.

In this case they are straight-forwardly reporting on an investigation by the Times, so trashing the source doesn't seem relevant or necessary.
I'd love someone in one of the "strategy" arms in one of these funds to explain what they think the end result of this is at it's extent?

Do they believe that eventually these will be sold back to single families to build equity?

Do they think that, the primary asset which has driven middle class wealth growth for ~100 years is now perfect for liquidating into - what?

Is the goal to make everyone a renter forever?
They made a lot of sales. Why does that have to be the death of the company? Just keep making good products. Everything doesn’t have to go up forever. I know this paints me as naive but growth above all else is eating us alive. How much growth is their bankruptcy?

Such as? I use zoom just fine on Linux. Never noticed any caveats. I don't use Discord so not sure what's missing.

> And hardware peripherals are always questionable with Linux

Not a problem with most PCs. Unless you have a really special hardware, Linux will work just fine. Sometimes brand new hardware takes time to receive kernel updates but most hardware is absolutely fine.

> Also, random other users are probably better off with Ubuntu than Zorin purely because that's what more people use and you can actually Google how to do stuff in it

I disagree because Zorin comes with its own support desk. Not only do they provide official installation support (that Ubuntu doesn't), they also have more specific resources than something compared to Ubuntu. Besides, any problems that you run into, you can just search for the same problem for Ubuntu and the fix will work.

With Ubuntu, you have no installation support, no nvidia drivers, no helpful prompts for new Linux users (like WINE), no flathub, no familiar UI for people coming from other operating systems. Ubuntu is imho a worse choice for any new Linux user.

I've always recommended Zorin to family and friends and not a single one has complained about stuff breaking or not working for them. The store has the biggest apps library compared to any other distro, windows application installation support for users who really need it, familiar and one of the most polished UIs in any distro and proprietary drivers that most other distros don't ship with.
This has nothing to do with capitalism, it does have to do with the power dynamic though when one person can easily have a significant impact on another person’s life though.

Meanwhile people discussing the topic question if the book is improved. This has nothing to do with the topic. Assuming we've change your words, have you say something else, should there be a discussion pondering if we've improved you?
>moderation quality goes down enough that being on the site is no longer fun.

I'd say that Reddit (and really the internet as a whole) hit that years ago. Another user said this on a different thread, but Reddit has this deep depression inside it that isn't really noticeable until you leave. Like, you don't ever really see happy people on there anymore, just people with varying levels of misery. I don't think that's really unwanted by Spez and Co, either. If there's something that the internet has taught me, it's that it's easier to retain audiences by keeping them miserable and afraid than it is by keeping them happy.

This is great news, if it holds up. There hasn't been a lot of remarkable advancement in physics since the Standard Model.

"Another topic that comes up is simplicity. According to Feynman, nature is usually much simpler than our thoughts. Therefore, when trying to explain phenomena, we tend to overcomplicate things. Often, in the end, reality can be explained by much simpler terms. We just need to look at it from another point of view."

I’ve been pretty happy with Pulumi but have learned that state management can be a pain.

I got myself into a situation recently that I could only get out of by using the CLI interactively. I wound up with multiple copies of each resource, which shared a URN, so when I tried to delete them from the CLI it would always prompt me for which instance of that URN to delete. I ended up spending much of a day writing a program to call their CLI and then interact with it programmatically because I had hundreds of resources to delete.

Since then I’ve been doing more with CloudFormation directly and am tempted to switch.
I admire the commitment to your opinions lol. Never really sure what motivates someone to tell the world what they aren't interested in using. My snark was aimed at highlighting the weirdness of how important you thought it was for us to know what you hate.

It's almost as though you're explaining why current and previous VR goggles haven't done very well. David Smith, among others, have had some experience with the device and are really excited. That excitement also includes several VR specific reporters.

I have yet to hear any complaints about screen sharpness. The most upvoted comment is from someone that worked on it and he also thinks the screen Rez isn't a problem. Foveated rendering is probably the reason it looks good. That same guy also said that the active cooling prevented it from getting hot on the face. We'll see how it works IRL.

Some have complained about the weight. I'm not all that concerned since this is the first version. I'm excited by the potential, especially since developers are excited about it.
> Is there any tech-oriented forum that isn't largely cynical and negative

Maybe no? I only know of two (not including subreddits): HN and Slashdot. And of the two, Slashdot is far, far, more negative, with the weird addition of American style republican political views. Which, as a European reader, makes it feel like a very right wing place.

Are there any other forums I'm not aware of?

All their beers taste like one beer with some kind of flavor packets added to them to get the different varieties. I don't know if that's what they do—surely it's not?—but damn is it ever what it tastes like. I've never encountered another brewery that gives me that vibe.
An empty and self-congratulatory comment is all you need to convince yourself that the UK (and/or Sunak in particular) is friendly to tech? He's an outspoken supporter[0] of the Online Safety Bill, which would effectively outlaw end-to-end encryption and mandate backdoors to "protect the children." A more accurate description of A16Z's move here is that they don't care about invasive and oppressive regulations as long as those regulations don't impact their bottom line, but I suppose "let us keep dodging taxes and privacy regulations and we'll help you spy on your citizens" doesn't have quite the same ring.

Hey, just wanted to follow up and say the site is working normally on my Windows Firefox! It looks good!

My only question/quibble is that I'd like to know if there's a setting to make the site full-width. I'm used to old reddit and hackernews being heavily text-focused and I hate seeing my webpages letterboxed into the center 1/3rd of my monitor.

Other than that, I'm a big fan! Hope it takes off. Just made an account and a community!!
