> Data centers are one of the best demographics […]

Hardly. Data centers are a dying breed, and their number has been rapidly dwindling in recent years. DC (and the mythical «on-prem» by extension) has effectively become a dirty word in contemporary times. The most brutal lift-and-shift approach (without discussing the merits of doing so) is most common: create a backup, spin up a cloud «VM», restore from the backup and turn the server in the DC off forever. No-one is going to even remotely consider a new hardware architecture, not even in the cloud.

Moreover, since servers do not exist in a vacuum and either run business apps or do something at least remotely useful, that entails the software migration to adopt the new platform. And the adoption has to be force-pushed onto the app developers otherwise they won't bother, and for them to convert/migrate the app onto a new architecture, they need desktops/laptops that run on the new ISA, and no viable server and desktop hardware exists in June 2023 – it will come along later with «later» not having a clear definition. Talking open source is a moot point as most businesses out there run commercially procured business apps.
I don't think Trump invented this playbook if that is what you're saying - the power hungry have done this forever, but we can now just see it all in real time.
“If God meant to interfere in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so by now? Wolves cull themselves, man. What other creature could? And is the race of man not more predacious yet? The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day.”
The defendant would be better off if they had robbed a physical store. They’d almost certainly be not facing any consequences. Even if they were, they’d be significantly less severe than what’s possible in these cases.
The key thing for me was the stainless pot. Every other electric pressure cooker has a Teflon-coated pot that will get scratched, flake, discolour, go sticky and generally poison you after a couple of years. I guarded my old Moulinex pot like a mother bear her cubs and it still went weird. A Tefal rice cooker pan is still perfect, though, so I can do it, it's just pressure cooking seems too much hard work for Teflon to withstand.
Understanding the sunk cost fallacy and having an opinion like the authors are not mutually exclusive. It doesn’t always apply and shouldn’t be used as an excuse to abandon whatever one feels like without guilt.
It's inherited from Japan, where 180ml is one gō, the standard measure for a portion of rice.

Even more confusingly, this originates from a Chinese unit which was standardized differently in modern China.

Sure... but if you look at recent history, this is a counter-movement to the plastic-y, corpo-speaky, flowery language and stab you in the back (or allow you to rot in the background) type of leadership.

There's a lot of people who prefer, or at least respect, an openly arrogant or dishonest leader. At least you know where you stand then, and are visible. The alternative, a lot of the time, is a leader who pays lipservice to equality, but has the same underlying disrespect.

The dream is being treated as a capable individual, but if a leader isn't willing to see you like that, it's pick your poison.
I used to think I might be the only one who does this and was beginning to wonder if I am overly reliant on reddit for my search results. Looks like I was not the only one.
I'd love to see some data from Europe. The American education system is very limited and seems to reward obedience above all else. College graduation rates for graduates of all boys high schools would also be interesting to compare and contrast. 'Redshirt'ed boys is another demographic to look at.
I've done this in hardware design, presented a design for review with a problem that had already been discovered and had a fix in progress. It was a red herring that gave the customer something to latch onto and feel like they were contributing to the success of the project. Somewhat dishonest, yes, but very effective in getting customers to work with you rather than be adversarial.

> speed is about 2 things: more smaller iterations, confirming you're working toward a desired outcome.

Well put. Too many managers and execs use the word "speed" but never define it for others to make actionable.

Scenarios in real life:

Coder: "what's important while we're working?"
Exec: "Speed." _feeling_cool_
Coder: "I authored features a,b,c,e,..x,y,z ~ already working fast, gimme a raise!"
Exec: _realizes none of those features were desired objectives_ ...

Er, you can send the emails via whatever backend service you want. React merely acts as a templating language and when compiled down to HTML, you can then send the resultant file with Python, NodeJS, etc.
Fair enough. For my purposes I only really need a single subreddit-equivalent for my own (prospective) instance; my worry's more around making sure my Brutalinks instance can make sense of the various multi-interest instances/services out there.
Gah, this is so encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to say so! I put _so_ much into that and I'm glad to hear it's been helpful for you. Organizing the content was actually a really big struggle for me, so this is particularly meaningful.
You’ve either done no reading on the subject or are trolling/arguing in bad faith.

I don't know what you're expecting? It's good advice. Obvious, but maybe not to everyone? People are idiots.
I don’t know why you’re trying to naturalize private equity behaviour. It’s not some immutable law of nature, it’s a shitty consequence of our current set of laws and economic system. Our society could be better.
It's probably really good for Nvidia, and those versed in the dark arts of LLMs. Not as much good for the run if the mill general software engineer.
I don't see how 'hidden' inflation could be fixed by higher interest. A favorite example (a widespread tactic, don't mean to single out the industry) is keeping the price of groceries down by putting less product in a nearly identical package, with the 'new' weight nearly invisible ... or slowly substituting cheaper ingredients (hence quality) which the long-time customer is less unlikely to notice. I'd bet most of us could name names.

> In the end I'd say the US's broken legislative system has forced the fed to make some really tough decisions.

But don't the fed and congress serve the same master? Congress is 'broken' for a reason.

> The board of the fed saw congress's failure and figured "if this country can't execute fiscal policy well at least we can step in with expansionary monetary policy".

No. The idea of using monetary policy over fiscal policy has been in use for decades. It's simpler, quicker and politically easier.

> Came to kick them in the ass when covid rolled around

That's when we had the expansionary fiscal policy. Where's the praise for congress?

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FGEXPND

> but it was also arguably responsible for one the best decades of economic growth in human history.

It was responsible for the biggest asset price increases ( stocks, housing prices, etc ) along with extreme wealth disparity, stagnant wages, low socio-economic advancement and the political chaos of obama-trump-biden.

Crazy to see someone praise a bunch of unaccountable international bankers for their monetary policy especially when the monetary policy causes the economic problems in the first place. And then put down elected politicians for their lack of fiscal policy and ignore their expansionary fiscal policy during covid. Comment reads like FED PR.
Monopolization effects from social networks is so powerful. I really wish decentralization would take off again, but it's a vicious cycle.

Search incentives SEO hacking. SEO hacking causes searches engines to stick to weigh reputation scores more. Reputation scores favor large social media platforms that have strong moderation practices. Quora, reddit, and other platforms become more valuable than SEO hacked blog spam.
How would you make branded emails without CSS?
The problem for me is emergency care is where I’ve easily spent the most healthcare dollars.

Providers already treat you with disdain and the back office in most doctors offices can hardly function as it is. When you ask how much something will cost, you will get somewhere between a blank look - if you’re lucky - to outright disgust that you could ask such a pedestrian question. You wouldn’t understand how complex medicine is and what could happen, you pleb. So how could we do something like give you a dollar amount?

Well, there will still be some anti-spam tools, right?

If there's a detailed argument saying that basic moderation (eg. obvious spam removal and not "I want to ban everyone who's ever said anything nice about Trump") will take say an order of magnitude more human effort without 3rd party tools I'd be curious to see it. If there's a persuasive claim along these lines I'd shift my beliefs, but I haven't seen it so far.
>hope Reddit realizes the gold mine it’s sitting on but I doubt it.

They do now and the first thing they want to do is to sell their content to AI labs for millions/year.
If Google search goes away I can at least use Bing or DuckDuckGo or something. I could also get really far just by searching other sites directly.

Also, I know this isn't true for most people, but there are a handful of Subreddits that are basically essential for my real life. For example, there is a subreddit for the neighborhood I live in. It has 50k+ people in there. It's better than any local news outlet. Getting all those people to gather at some other site would be extremely difficult if not impossible. If it disappeared our local community would be severely harmed.
As an athlete, this happens all the time if you’re injured or if you get in an accident. Any sort of injury really.
Which is surprising since jsonformer exists and the same approach works with the text-completion API just fine.

Pascal evolved into Modula-2 and Oberon, which both live on, in significant chunks, fused into the highly successful Go language.
Provided we're all talking about our own preferences, the ergonomic argument is I think pushed too far and kinda idealized.

For instance looking at the Lamy 2000 mentionned in the article, it's 25g for the plastic version, 54g for the metal version [0].

A Pilot G2 weights 11g, that's half to a quarter of matter to move around. [1]

From personal experience the G2 is also extremely smooth, and while I never bothered buying premium fountain pens, it was way lighter and smoother than any fountain pen I've used as a student.

Then when we try to go further on the form factor, needing an ink cartridge limits the minimal size of a fountain pen. I recently switched to much thinner triangular shaped pens, they were more comfortable for my current writing style (and I almost don't write much anymore), but it's just not an option outside of ballpoint.

So yes fountain pen can be great, but if ergonomics is the primary concern, there will be many other (potentially way better) choices out there on the market.

It is a gamble. I am a Reddit power user in part because of the superb unobtrusive experience of old.reddit and Apollo. If you shove it full of ads, it’s no longer the experience I got addicted to. At that point I’d rather leave.
It's a pretty far-fetched argument that the federal government doesn't have the power to create a central bank. Who are you to argue against John Marshall?
Only sometimes.

Certain skills interfere with each other. For instance playing chess makes you worse at go, and playing go makes you worse at chess. Certain pairs of languages are likewise hard to learn together - my son found that he could not study both Russian and Chinese at the same time.

But in general you just develop more and better memories.
This is a bit of an extreme take... have you never heard of a beta release?

How does functions work? Is it basically calling plugins?
If you're referring to the domains, it's by submission count. Presumably only one Show HN was linked to substack.com.
One of the most lucrative aspects is to sell AI tools, models, training to the government and the military. Microsoft is in prime position to do this. Microsoft's CEO has no shame in targeting government agencies and the military. It's great if you own the stock. Maybe not if you're concerned about the morality of providing these technologies to people who can weaponize it.
Agreed. I will be trying to get a coded bill beforehand but most places will tell you "everything we do is an estimate". Which is so bullshit, but brings me back to my original point: they know they can fuck you, and they enjoy doing it.
Been in ER in the UK, Aus and NZ. Never paid a cent. And that's included overnight stays, drugs, ICU, 2 weeks ward stay, cardioversions and more. Yay for free healthcare.
Humans may train on human-generated data, but humans have many other ways of gaining knowledge about the world than reading. This means that human-generated data may be rich with information not present in the writings or recordings of previous humans. Current LLMs are only trained on existing text for the moment (video and images and sounds soon), but aren’t given access to raw natural input.
I don’t believe him when he says he uses Bing Chat.

Bing chat sucks now. All it does is generate SERPs instead of encapsulating information.
The price of building software is going to go down a lot. Of course, the demand will increase and also the output of any given engineer. Nevertheless, the trend towards remote work and mature AI tools should lead to software engineer salaries (esp. in the US) decreasing. Even if just due to being insanely inflated right now.
If you had the online data of what was being ordered of Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, and a handful of grocers, you'd know exactly how much to produce. .

The myth that a planned economy is inefficient comes from a time when not everything was computerized.
Near 100% of my food come from producers not one of the 7.
I live in Los Angeles, so that might be a good explanation. But then, how would you economically produce and distribute food to people in more rural locales, if not for some consolidation? The question of course is what is a reasonable number - is it 7? Or 20? There's no objective answer etched into a tablet somewhere. Instead, dynamic social forces produce an outcome.

… and fully managed cloud services (serverless databases, API gateways, messaging components, supplementary services etc etc). Which is where the hardware replacement is likely most frantic but impossible to glean into without having the insider knowledge. And since the fully managed services are charged on the usage basis, it is possible to utilise the hardware more efficiently under the hood and completely transparently to the end user (if properly architected) as opposed to spinning up cloud VM's.
Those "incredibly bespoke communities" are almost entirely people posting images of a professional/elaborate project, and then asking for feedback in the form of "hey you guys this is the first thing I've ever made please give me some feedback but go easy on me OK?"

It's a massive circle jerk and echo chamber of regurgitated opinions. So in other words: exactly like the rest of Reddit.
So Microsoft is buying OpenAI, right? Because if you’re getting the farm on something you don’t even own… yikes
It's not very consistent with the data: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1Pik

Corporate profits last quarter were around 10% of GDP, which is roughly the same as in 2006.

Anyway, corporations ultimately distribution profits to individuals either directly (dividends, share buybacks) or indirectly (investment). It's silly to think that corporate profits are somehow "evil", they are a key part of a successful economy.
You're probably right employee owned businesses are better for customers, but I'm worried there may be an unfortunate truth that PE is better for investors
> many would have made the same amount of money if they struck out on their own, opening a small boutique firm

Surely this it the same in tech. Most employees of FAANG companies could do something in a small company but the big company is just more prestigious and less risky. Every small business is like this now, doctors offices, restaurants, stores are all chains.
It passes arguments back to the application to call the function.

This means that it’s the applications choice to actually call the function or not. It’s not OpenAIs problem if the json does something terrible.

I have seen someone who know absolutely nothing about a language and barely able to write a script using Python managed to build a full automation pipeline for data analysis including a GUI using ChatGPT in that language. So while I agree that some of the hype are overblown, there is clear and irrefutable proof of the value and power of AI right now. Unlike crypto...

>So mechanically your cities are car centric, which isn't qui the cities I'd like to build.

It's a city builder, not a fantasy sandbox.

You are basically complaining that you can't build a machine gun before you build a musket in a gun making game and that you hate the smell of musket powder.

It may shock you to realise just how much infrastructure goes into growing a city. Maybe put your emotion down for a little while...
Not many people have a high balance, and those who are, are getting the short end of the stick.

Contrary to what common wisdom would lead you to believe, rich people don't usually hold a high balance. In fact, rich people are often highly indebted and hoard wealth through other means. They're good at using debt to accrue wealth, and reducing having to repay debts (just see our government).

Rich people are like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0HX4a5P8eE

We're a nation of bail outs and tax breaks for people in debt (ie bailouts for the rich!).

They're selling to Wall Street. Just another hype cycle.
Until they ruin it with ads and defects, as Microsoft usually does with its products.
This doesn't really matter for inflation. Let's say there is a "cheese monopoly" and they increase the price of cheese 10x. But everyone must have their cheese, so they keep buying it. Now they have less $ to buy other things, so they will either substitute with cheaper goods or the producers will have to lower the price to maintain sales. Thus you see that one seller or industry raising prices does not inherently cause inflation.

Nope. I was basing what I said entirely on the article. Based on my extensive experience in open source projects, I think that's entirely reasonable. If a tech blogger thinks the experience is 'rough'— which includes a whole lot more than user flows in sign up and resource discovery— you can be quite sure it's going to look a whole lot worse to your average person.
Hahah I always love the useless appointments where it would be better care to talk with a nurse on Telehealth. I wonder if MDs realize their actions are losing them the war.

I used to think it was dumb that NPs are gaining further ability to treat patients, but my last few experiences with MDs has been so poor that I am no longer "rooting" for them. If that makes sense.
Indeed, we have to let the price level adjust to the new higher baseline given the increase in money supply. However, raising interest rates has decreased it modestly, about 5% in the past year. So that's something.
I learned OCaml, which made programming "click" for me, partly by doing these exercises. Compared to the root comment's "building interesting things", it's definitely more abstract than concrete.

I do see your point though. In the algebra class, I couldn't grok groups from the axioms, without first seeing some concrete examples. But the thing is, math people's "concrete" is already several layers of abstractions removed from reality.
It isn't like it isn't coming. The writing was on the wall in 2014/15 when BRICS set up their own reserve and loaning systems. It was only accelerated when Russia was cut off after invading Ukraine. Sounds like they're going to have serious talks about a common currency in their 2023 summit.
