I do get your point, but for the record it should never be 1000kg.

In metric we use the word tonne to disambiguate from the myriad weird, whacky, and deprecated tons used by ~ 5% of the population.
> To your point, rich people in the west have prime access to world class care, and if it's not an emergency they'll fly to wherever they need to get the best clinics they can afford. People flying to Korea for plastic surgery is a thing.

I feel like a lot of such medical tourism has more to do with cost than quality of care.
With all due respect, Apple’s size is why these things happen. More replacements means a statistically higher chance of defective ones

I think being on support for 3 hours without them doing anything is the bigger issue. You’re entitled to a working replacement, you should be able to get a working replacement without putting in unreasonable effort.

The only moat Reddit has is the critical mass of users. Numerous clones exist (such as Hacker News), and a new minimum viable product could be built in a couple of weeks. But once you have the users, it is pretty easy to keep them... unless you make them turn against you.

I’m not sure I’m remembering the same thing. I recall quite a bit of infrastructure spending under Obama [1]. It was smaller than needed but Republicans came out heavily against it and then generated the Tea Party wave in the 2010 midterms effectively ending any infrastructure expansion making Obama a lame duck even in his second term (and then followed by the Trump years).

I think that’s a symptom not the disease. Society tends to have a lag between needs changing and the adjustment happening.

Pre-revolutionary France didn’t have too many petit nobles because they were dumb — those folks were a legacy of a bygone era. Today technology is rendering while swaths of products, business and industry irrelevant.

Populist movements at their core are driven by fear. What are they afraid of? They know that what do they and where they live is redundant. We won’t see change until there’s a calamity.
Depends on their friends. I was for all intents and purposes banned from virtually all the pop-culture my friends were into as a kid, it essentially forced me to sit quiet at the lunch table and I was left out of a lot of stuff because I wasn't allowed to participate (what happens on the latest episode of X, movies, concerts, game nights, etc). It sucked.

I fully intend to give my kids the tools and access they need to relate to other kids, with the understanding that I don't always get to decide what that is. I might draw the line at something particularly egregious, like an R rated movie when they're 9 or something, but if my kid and their friends want to watch Power Rangers Mega-Samurai-Viking-Cosmic-Super-Force, I'm not going to ban it because I find it mildly annoying and eye-rolly.
The average user doing ~300 api calls per day would do about 9000 calls per month and at $0.24/1k calls would be $2/user

Apollo also does polling of the message box for each user for push notifications ( https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend/blob/main/i... ) which currently has a rate of 1/minute/user. This is another 1.4k calls per day and changes the price that would be paid.

YouTube search is officially trash. It doesn’t even support excluding terms using “-“.

I was trying to find video essays on Cyberpunk, the worthless search kept giving videos of the stupid Cyberpunk 2077 video game. I had to use Google search to find what I needed.

Also YouTube search likes recommend me unrelated stuff too nowadays. For heaven sakes, can we have a search that just do its damn job.
Speaking as a subscriber to Fusion: Do-it-all software is nearly always inferior to special purpose software. I don't use the built-in Eagle functionality in Fusion even though I've paid for it.
I asked Google this very question earlier today, and got a great answer.

With the electric motor, when you "step on it" you get a loud droning sound that does not rise with the speed as a driver would expect. This really messes up their perception of the actual acceleration taking place. The progressive nature feels like you're being launched from an elastic band.

By skipping degrees to emulate gear shifting, you get that scooping sound one expects when accelerating.

As for the "roar" part... that's a different topic that probably plays more into nostalgia. Hopefully that's only through the inside speakers, and not audible outside...
I don't use twitter but I sincerely doubt nazis outnumber regular users on twitter and I don't think you have real data to back up that claim. Remember, ragebait works by finding the most egregious instances of things and misrepresenting them as typical occurrences.
Many have. Many more will. They aren't going to announce it, that's gauche.

There is a sentiment of, 'Whelp, was fun while it lasted. Remember, digg, haha. See on the next go around.'
I personally think your particular scenario is the easier one: such "client" will ignore any license requirement or "moral pressure" anyway, as soon as they can acquire the software in some way. There shouldn't be moral burden on the devs. You do more good (way more) than harm. Otherwise I doubt Linus can sleep at night. I'd say this is no difference from, say, a knife manufacturer when it comes to the harm the knives do.

Commercial use is something devs are more torn because they feel they're being exploited while the client is not doing anything wrong inherently (doing business).

And in that case, you have to adjust your expectation to be exactly the same as the license you put in to resolve such cognitive dissonance.

Hierarchies are better because they form a natural hypertext.

I'm in my documents folder. I see a list of all the categories of stuff I have. Whatever I'm looking for, it's in one of them. I go into a folder, and I see all the categories in that folder and none of the stuff outside of it. I've narrowed my focus and increased my depth. I can browse.

Sure, tags are more flexible, but (1) I find I almost never actually need them, because in most cases a hierarchy is good enough, and (2) tags don't function as a hypertext and won't let me explore. A big list of tags is much harder to dig through than nested folders.

Granted, it doesn't stop at tags or hierarchy. You can use both—on top of which, there are hierarchical tags, soft links, hard links, and even textual hyperlinks. But out of all of these, I find hierarchy to be the most important one. Given the choice among all of them, I always start with hierarchy and I typically find I don't need anything else.
Commercial software vendors may not finish their products (what even is "finished" when it comes to software?) but they do ship them. How many unfinished hobby projects meet the same fate?

Aaron, thank you for this course! I started watching it about a week ago, and I love your teaching style.

I've been using relational databases for years, but my conceptual understanding was never that strong. I hadn't touched MySQL in particular for several years. Your course not only got me back up to speed, but I learned a lot of things I'd never known before.

I love how you organize your lessons, how you make sure to answer the right questions at the right times, and how you prioritize helping the learner build a strong mental model.

I hope you make more content like this in the future.

> the free API never enabled a moderation tool that automatically detected and removed gore or child porn

I have no idea what subreddits are using these days, but I'm familiar with spambot, that compared any submitted image against blacklists. For anyone managing a NSFW subreddit, such a tool is an absolute necessity to avoid getting sent to the penalty box by Reddit admins.

https://github.com/4pr0n/spambot

I don't know what's being used now, but when I was familiar with it, spambot was monitoring dozens of NSFW subreddits that had tens of thousands of subscribers. This is only one of thousands of such customized moderation bots that use the free API.
We're going to see a lot more clones in the coming weeks/months, which arguably also prevents most of them from doing their intended job as a replacement. Eventually, one will form when the dust settles.

It's a slow process, but an inevitable one. Twitter has demonstrated this, where it isn't this instant switch, but a slow burn. We're only now getting Meta's take on such a replacement for example. Same will happen with Reddit now people are aware how fragile it really is. I just don't see direct replacements happening this year.

Anecdotally I do see far more aggressive displacement on Reddit than I did with Twitter however, perhaps due to how impersonal Reddit is where most feel they can abandon it much easier than a Twitter account with many professional colleagues attached.

They were being archived by pushshift.io until Reddit cut off their API access. Pushshift's API stopped returning results around that time.

It looks like Reddit is going to let them resume, but with access restricted to Reddit moderators:

Other sites, like archive.org and Google, scrape and archive Reddit pages, but coverage is spotty at best.
It really depends on your workload. Prefix sum is pretty important, but you can also work around the missing barrier by doing extra dispatches. You'll want to do that if your goal is portable code. Metal also has some nice things, including real pointers (available in Vulkan 1.3 but not earlier versions, and not in HLSL).
Good point. Backtracking is certainly possible but it is probably tricky to parallelize at scale if you're trying to coalesce and slam through a bunch of concurrent (unrelated) requests with minimal pre-emption.
I just search on Google with site:YouTube.com
I'm right there with you. It was definitely a difficult read and I often found myself going back a few pages and re-reading sections. Many times.
Ask HN: Citizen “Temporary Service Interruption”
"Temporary Service Disruption
Citizen is temporarily reducing coverage in your area. You will still receive notifications for major safety-related incidents happening in your city and can speak to a trained Safety Agent 24/7 with Citizen Premium."

I still remembered when Duolingo came out and it is just struggling small startup that wants to succeed in a competitive space. Now even Duolingo English Test, the artificial test they created even became a thing that other people build a product or company to help people prepare for it. Amazing.
> At least investing has some economic forces that cause people to conserve resources and allocate them better than prior.

That's a really whitewashed way of saying "layoffs, benefit reductions, and no more pay raises or bonuses". Far too often, "economic inefficiency" translates to "workers are too highly paid", you see this all time now with companies complaining about a labor shortage while there are tons of people ready to work for respectable wages.
Is this an allegory?
Not sure. Ten years ago, maybe ?

Mind you, I didn't think it was samey or cliched, I don't remember thinking "there are too many of these already". What I thought was that it was poorly written and uninteresting, and that it seemed like bleakness for its own sake.
>> The tax rates are also substantially higher.

We here in the US also pay "tax" for healthcare, it just inst called tax. It is called {co-pay, co-insurance, deductible, balance bill, annual employee premium, annual employer premium}

Lets not kid ourselves, we pay dearly in the US.
Or It’s an impossible problem

You can’t win 100% of the time, so you’ll miss some and people will be rightfully mad you missed

You also can’t talk about most wins or - more frequently - events prevented/mitigated

Finally, it only takes a few bad actors in the govt to destroy long term public trust and we’ve had decades of lackluster at best leadership

So add all that up and there’s never going to be positive news about the IC

Your phrasing could be misconstrued by those not familiar with the history. Shopify hasn't been developing TruffleRuby for 10 years. The entire TruffleRuby project is 10 years old, including the first 12 - 18 months where it was a humble intern project. TruffleRuby (previously called JRuby+Truffle) was initially a research project for testing out optimizations, not a production-quality implementation suitable for deployment. I think it's now a viable deployment target, but that wasn't true 10 years ago.

As you might imagine, there's a lot more to production deployments than simple Ruby compatibility. At Shopify, we've recently modified our CI system to support TruffleRuby and are actively running projects against TruffleRuby in CI now [1]. The TruffleRuby 23.0.0 release coming out in the next day or so includes quite a few compatibility issues we've worked out getting a large Rails app booting. That project is on the order of months, not decades.

YARP will make adoption of TruffleRuby easier. Absent a language specification, implementations like JRuby and TruffleRuby have to match what CRuby is shipping and that by necessity means they lag after CRuby releases. Parser changes are amongst the hardest things to port over. YARP eliminates most of the challenges there.

Ranked choice voting has led to a stable two party system everywhere it's been tried. Wrong solution if thats the problem you're tying to solve. (Giving third party candidates a chance)

It does tend to reduce polarization of the platforms and drive them to more moderate positions though.

If you want more parties you need a proportional representation system.
For anyone insterested in reading Crowley, I was told Liber four is the most straightforward writing of his.

His collection of poems "White Stains" is just amazing as well - mostly speaking about human secretions of all kinds and ingesting them.

Edit:"White Stains, a collection of Crowley's poetry praised by W.B. Yeats, published in paperback for the first time, has been called 'the filthiest book of verse ever written' and of the first edition of 100 numbered copies, 83 were pulped and burned by Her Majesty's Customs in 1924."

Ted Chiang predicted this in The New Yorker [1] in February in an article that shaped my thinking about what LLMs are capable of achieving in the near future. Chiang compared the summaries LLMs synthesize to a lossy compression algorithm for the internet.

"There is very little information available about OpenAI’s forthcoming successor to ChatGPT, GPT-4. But I’m going to make a prediction: when assembling the vast amount of text used to train GPT-4, the people at OpenAI will have made every effort to exclude material generated by ChatGPT or any other large language model. If this turns out to be the case, it will serve as unintentional confirmation that the analogy between large language models and lossy compression is useful. Repeatedly resaving a jpeg creates more compression artifacts, because more information is lost every time. It’s the digital equivalent of repeatedly making photocopies of photocopies in the old days. The image quality only gets worse.

Indeed, a useful criterion for gauging a large language model’s quality might be the willingness of a company to use the text that it generates as training material for a new model. If the output of ChatGPT isn’t good enough for GPT-4, we might take that as an indicator that it’s not good enough for us, either. Conversely, if a model starts generating text so good that it can be used to train new models, then that should give us confidence in the quality of that text. (I suspect that such an outcome would require a major breakthrough in the techniques used to build these models.) If and when we start seeing models producing output that’s as good as their input, then the analogy of lossy compression will no longer be applicable."

I don't understand, WTF is this even referring to? Is this some random app or service or company called "Citizen" somewhere in the world?

Alternately, who are these Temporary Service Interruption Citizens, and what makes them different from regular people? It almost sounds like someone fell asleep reading a dystopian corporatocracy cyberpunk novel, and then while still half-awake blurted a question to some kind of voice-assistant device that posted it to HN...
Digg was a social bookmarking site like Reddit. It originally ran on user submission of links, user voting, and then user comments on those links. It had a separate slew of problems than Reddit does today but it did have a similarity in laughably myopic and user despising management.

Digg decided that taking user submissions didn't make them enough money so they changed the model to letting sites pay to submit links. Digg basically turned into PRWire with a comment section.

This and other issues pissed off a lot of users. Then there was a massive protest where all the submissions and comments said go over to Reddit. Reddit's user base ballooned with former Digg users. Digg went forward with its stupid submission changes and a significant percentage of users stayed on Reddit and Digg became a ghost town of PR submissions and astroturf comments.

Like Reddit the value of Digg existed almost entirely in its user base. Once the users left there was no utility left in the site. It was a darling of "crowd sourced" content so without the crowd there was no content.
>> $100 in the ER? Where, for what?

It is $100 for just the co-pay. Depending on your state, there are the balance bills, mystery bills, lab bills, xray bills, random radiologist bills from affiliated practices, and a host of other things that come in the mail ~6wks later.

But back in reality, of course we all know that the commercial real estate market is by and large looking at a world of hurt. But I think by and large they’re going to muddle through. Some developers will lose their buildings, equity is definitely taking a hit and there will surely be some losses on loans. But on balance, I think the banks will be fine (and some fulcrum security holders somewhere in the capital stack will find themselves owners of, in some cases, VERY nice new buildings).

I worry less about the debt lended to finance these building than I do about the many, many pensions, retirement systems and insurance companies that rely on a structured equity return to meet their long term financing needs.
You’re not wrong! I for one am very excited about the potential benefits these Transparency in Coverage have for patients. Just the ability to shop the best rates for common procedures can save thousands per year for some.

Sadly, I’ve noticed most businesses utilizing this price transparency data are primarily selling to hospitals/providers so they can negotiate better contracted rates with insurance plans.
The US currently spends more public money per capita on healthcare than Australia. It's not a problem of lack of public money.
