The Reality Pro, on the other hand... it can call people, circumstantially. You could listen to music on it, but it's kinda cumbersome and there are less intrusive options even today. You could also browse the internet on it, but it would require context-switching that isn't so intrusive with physical interfaces.

Very confused about this sentiment. Are you saying this all it can do? Even just saying this is all the ways in which it might compete with smartphones seems very uncharitable. I don't see people walking around the streets with these on any time soon, but if they do, there's a LOT more you could do than phone calls, music, and sometimes a browser. Surely you'd agree?

For example, portable XR would bring:

- The ability to work effectively in public without the need for a desk, monitors, or a shield from glare

- The ability to annotate everyday objects in your line of sight. See the reviews of every cafe on the street, historical facts about old buildings, the all-important orwellian social credit score of every individual floating above their head, etc.

- Walking directions that are imposed on your world instead of on a little abstract map. Less walking into things, less NYC tourists getting on the wrong train.

- Crazy immersive gaming experiences; in the short term we'll probably see geo-location based games (niantic vibes), and in the long term we might see crazier stuff like the shooter they showed off in the absurdly over-ambitious google glass announcement trailer.

- Replace real people with the avatars they wish to be seen as, either on body-dysmorphia-vibes or cosplay-vibes (or both).

Off the top of my head :) I'm gonna be honest this comment is more about me being excited than it is a reply to your point as I understand it, as I think you have a strong status-quo bias on this. IMO!
Our culture puts such a strong emphasis on self-reliance that people who experience conditions that are "in their head," or even just poorly understood, are broadly perceived as lazy and dishonest. It's often only when it hits close to home that people are able to overcome this bias.
The fees exist. Crypto handling fees are not small. The market is so inflated that this nonsense happens regardless. Bitcoin doesn't have any more stability despite having ferocious transactions economics.

It's fascinating to see how his responses have changed to be more out-of-touch so dramatically since he did this AMA and now. Not knowing too much about how Reddit has changed over the years, I wonder what the timeline is for his change.
Putting aside the question of if the linked is fake, I don't necessarily fault medical workers for handling their work dryly.

Those doctors and nurses and technicians have to deal with all manners of disgust, biohazards, sadness, and most significantly death each and every single day. I cannot in good faith demand them to treat everyone with empathy, that might as well be psychological torture for the medical workers.

This isn't to say they shouldn't be courteous, professional, and kind to their patients, that should go without saying.
You might have meant to use a word other than "sporadic." That word describes a recurring event that happens at unpredictable intervals, such as snow in a normally hot desert, or a Linux crash caused by a race condition. Other words that fit the sentence better are "unusual," "unexpected," "unjustified," "inappropriate," "surprising," "extreme," "abrupt," or "out of the blue."

(For what it's worth, I'm American, and I disagree with your assessment. We don't know how long the person was given to make progress, and we don't know what was communicated. To conclude that a two-week period without a commit represents the entire period between the start of the poor performance and the termination is, well, a bit out of the blue.)

I had not, good thread!

It seems to come down to that people need to debate on the same level. Some drunk bum is not going to walk out of a bar and into a classroom and debate a professor. But that's what happens on social media.
Here’s a preprint of the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.02878.pdf
Quite simply, you don't. You make your awesome point in one or two posts and then move on. Moderators will flag and rate limit your account if you get chatty. This website is a notional fraud in that it masquerades as a forum of sorts, but cultivates twitter style fire and forget engagement through its poking and prodding of the userbase.
It was completely obvious to me, and I'm not a Linux committer.

Any bug of the form:

Hi, I'm sending this via official channels, but see [external thing].

Is going to immediately bitrot. For instance, in stack overflow, for something like 10% of answers, you'll see people saying to explain what a link says instead of just linking.
That’s what I thought. It’s usually missing. Google 12 years ago used to be awesome. I have records of doing 30-40 searches a day. Now I do barely 12.
Money corrupts, I guess?
Crypto exchanges basically are giant bots, based upon massive technical investment over many years, whose purpose is to stay at the cutting-edge of manipulating billions in customer funds in such a way that their own profit is paramount.
If a layperson stops paying rent they may be evicted and indebted for the back rent that they didn't pay.

If a large wealthy person stops paying for rent, the landlord might worry about a long and expensive legal and settle for a lot less than was owed.

The layperson is less likely to have the capital to prolong a legal battle and so is more likely to get stuck with the bill.

There are other economies of scale. If I stop paying for Google cloud my account quickly gets deactivated, but when Twitter stops paying they don't shut off service right away, they try to keep the client around and might offer discounts. If payment continues to be denied they may eventually shut off the service and settle for a portion of the cost of services extended during that time as above.
Moving text is great in vim but being embedded in the terminal means all the powers of the shell are one ! away as well that makes it faster to do things… need a quick syntax check !node -c % , or need to run a command !ruby %

It’s just faster when you are connected shell… and unlike vscode - vim is pushing 30 and the shell environment 40, I see very little reason the shell and vim will substantially change in the next 40 years… but I guarantee vscode will look very different… so learn a tool for life that will be just as powerful tomorrow as it is today

Quite the opposite, in fact!
That's part of the problem. The get out of my sight, go somewhere else mentality, can lead down a very dark and even more evil path.
No, that wouldn't usually happen. I've had surgery a few times. What they do is monitor your brain activity and pulse rate to see if your are coming out of anesthesia for some reason. If you were suffering, at the very least your pulse would go up, and they will notice.
You are just in wishful denial about the technological disruption: ChatGPT will rapidly and dramatically increase productivity by displacing human workers.

ChatGPT will automate 99.9% of what's on the Internet, which is blithering, displacing what most human labor is spent on these days, and leaving humans with no demand for their labor but going back to producing accurate, valuable knowledge.

The halcyon days are over. Post-truth technology has followed the typical maturation cycle, and now is at the point that we can automate it. (HN is dead. This post could be written by ChatGPT or a future LLM.)

Harsh. And also misleading. I hope it comes as no surprise that some countries are easier to migrate to than others. In fact it has been measured.

Title: Where Expats Struggle Most to Get Started

https://www.internations.org/press/press-release/d-40346

Quote from page: "The Expat Essentials Index reveals the 52 destinations that make life abroad easiest and those that make life most challenging for foreign residents. The index is based on data from the Expat Insider 2022 survey by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with over 4.5 million members."

Wanta to guess which country those 4.5 million that expat survey ranked hardest to move to?
Alabama had a ban on interracial marriage in its state constitution. Struck down in the 60s by SCOTUS but still on the books after that. When they put it to a referendum to repeal it from the text of the law - the vote was surprisingly close:

> The amendment was approved with 59.5% voting yes, a 19 percentage point margin, though 25 of Alabama's 67 counties voted against it.

That was in 2000.
His response to the top comment:

> reddit has a lot of cash. Monetization isn't a short-term concern of ours. Yes, we will continue to experiment with different efforts so that when time is right we know what works and what does not.

So it was always about money. Guess their "experiments" have concluded that pissing off your entire user base is a strategy which works.
Those are all great suggestions!

I've been planning an improvement to the randomness by charting out the main themes across feedback that should be represented so there's less overlap.

Even getting random names was a little tedious, I ended up using an RNG to get two letters, and telling the LLM it needed to use those two letters in the name.

Just click the "threads" link instead of going to you user profile.

What makes the conversations good is not so much that you get to engage in good conversations but you get to see and read some very good conversations, from what I have seen few regularly engage in good conversations on HN and when they do it is just a matter of luck, schedules and knowledge line up or it is actually many people each only adding one or two comments at most. There is a wealth of good conversations on the site but the extended back and forth between two people is not common, everyone just joins in where they can or when impulse over rules reason.

Doing back of napkin math (using the numbers I can find) it doesn't seem like nuclear power is expensive to construct - at least compared to solar and wind. Nothing is cost competitive with natural gas and coal - but that's the problem we are trying to solve.

Solar:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topaz_Solar_Farm

The Topaz Solar Farm in the US has a capacity of 550MW and a construction cost of $2.5b US billion.

That puts it at a cost of $4.5 million per MW capacity (550MW / 2.5b) (adjusted for inflation that's $3.2b USD or $5.8m per MW). It is used at 26% of its capacity which I assume is due to the non dispatchable nature of solar (would likely change if batteries were added - increasing cost).

Assuming a 10 year loan at 3% adds $500m bringing it to $6.7m per MW capacity

Nuclear:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_...

The Palo Verde nuclear plant has a capacity of 3937MW and a construction cost of $12.6b USD adjusted for inflation. That puts it at a cost of $3.2m per MW capacity and it was used at 82% of its capacity over its lifetime.

Interest at 3% over 10 years adds 2b to the figure making it $3.7m per MW capacity

Limitations:

This doesn't consider running costs, maintenance or factor how usage capacity affects cost.

Maybe I am missing something, perhaps the running costs of nuclear eclipse the total cost of solar + batteries over 50 years? Maybe the loans granted for nuclear are at a much higher interest rate than those granted for other power projects? Is insurance a factor?

Show HN: SplitMyExpenses – Modern bill splitting app w/AI + Bank/CC connections
Hey HN I'm Brad, the creator of SplitMyExpenses (SME)!

I've always dreaded splitting expenses with friends after meals, so I'd usually do it as a batch process after a few weeks. I always dreamed of a tool that fit that workflow seamlessly and couldn't find it, so I did the thing most software tinkerers do, build your own tool!

It has evolved substantially over the past few years, from a side project that almost never made it out the graveyard, to a polished web app with powerful API integrations and even AI!

Splitting expenses sounded simple up front, but a few challenges worth calling out:
- Import expenses via file uploads (.csv, .excel, .txt) 500 different styles and patterns/behaviors (column names, $ positive negative, date styles, etc.) across different financial institutions <-- a massive project within itself!
- Money split logic: I wanted to ensure you get all your money back and dividing payments "evenly" turns out to be uneven! I had to pull in a frontend and backend library to do calculations on this (IE: $5 divided by 3 people is: $1.67, $1.67, $1.66)
- Charging on payment services: Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, and Zelle all have their own URL/deeplink formats to link into and some don't even allow you to! A big of digging / reverse engineering here to figure this out, but mashing it all together so you don't have to saves a ton of time!
- Split logic: Dependent state where all bill splits need to be calculated "together". If you have $10 bill, split between 4 people it will be $2.50 each. Sweet! But if you add one more person, that will change the previously saved splits per person, so you have to save the splits all together.
^ I originally built this as a save per split, but this did not scale well at all and didn't make sense

A few cool callouts:
- Clean up your expense names automatically: AI summarization / extraction of useful text describing your expenses as you do a file import
- Receipt itemization: Using Amazon's fantastic receipt APIs, can extract line items and subtotal + tax + tip, so no more typing that all out
- Charts for your effective spending: see how much you are spending AFTER you split your expenses

Tech stack: Laravel (PHP), Vue.js, and Inertia.js

I'm super pumped to get it out the door last week during my Product Hunt launch, excited to share it with the technical folks on HN who can appreciate some of the challenges here :)

Let me know if you have any feedback! Any and all comments are welcome
Summary: You don't.

HN is not designed for real-time conversations, and trying to use it for that is discouraged. If you want real-time conversations - then find a site which is designed for and encourages them.
Wow, this is fascinating to hear. Other than the standard baseline of not touching the arrow keys, I use vim pretty differently:

- 'j' and 'k' to move up and down, with '{' or '}' or even something like '20j' to move quickly

- 'w' and '$' and '0' to move horizontally, with things like '5w' to move quickly

I also rely heavily on 'v' and ctrl+'v' to select arbitrary shapes of text for yanking/deleting. I'm not sure what the exact takeaway is from comparing our styles, but it's interesting to realize about how much of coding comes down to just navigating up/down/left/right.

I agree with your last couple paragraphs almost verbatim though! That StackOverflow answer is exactly the reason I decided to try vim and stuck with it.

The verb/noun nature of vim makes it so easy to enter a flow state. The text editor fades into muscle memory, and you can surf waves of code with no bottleneck between mind and machine. (To write this comment, I actually had to open a random file and navigate around it while watching my hands — it's been years since I've thought about it!)
I could understand other parts charging for more, or basically what they would be accounted as parts divided surface retail price. Earning the same profits as they would.

But Battery, and $238, is just ridiculous.

equivalent information will become public again.

I'm not so hopeful, because it seems to have become common for companies to replace information with open source code, which amounts to nothing more than "put this constant in this register" with no detailed explanation of the why. I'd much rather they publish actual documentation than OSS.
I think Ted sort of missed the point.

The Long Tail is a way of saying: "There's a ton of tiny markets out there that you can go and serve, and make a decent, if small, living off of."

That's your shot at your own little 80/20 microcosm, if you do it right.

So, wouldn't the proper protest be to instead...just quit? Let the subreddits get overrun by all of this spam and extreme posts and then the admins would appreciate their influence, no?

And, as a nice side benefit, maybe we'll finally get to prune the cabal of super-moderators that have been abusing their influence for over a decade now.
This is about a feature flag. It should be safe to flip it on and off, otherwise rollouts and rollbacks won't work.
I think reddit has run its course for me, and I don't think they're losing anything of value when I stop browsing. I've been using old. for years, and always been pretty strict about blocking ads. In the past few years, it's been getting less and less enjoyable for me, and since I stopped visiting on Monday, I've been feeling better, and I don't think I'll be going back.

Reddit is saving a little on bandwidth since I stopped, and I've gained some time and energy. Seems like a win-win.
> Monetization isn't a short-term concern of ours

To be fair, we're not in the short-term horizon of 2015.
I mean money is money and its all a negotiation tactic.

For example I've never had deferred comp til my previous firm.

Every time I moved I asked for a signing bonus and they told me to get out.

This time I mention "Well I have some deferred comp I'd be foregoing".. verbally give them a number, and now they are offering me a sign on bonus, cash, in first paycheck 33% above what I was losing in deferred.

Hilariously they didn't even ask for documentation..

Another place sounded like they were going to to through the documentation on prevFirm deferral and put me in some form of deferred comp equivalent with a worse vesting schedule, but again, money I have never had anyone offer me before.
Dealing with caches, memory ordering, and memory barriers can be truly mind-warping stuff, even for those who have spent years dealing with basic cache coherency before. If you want a challenge, try to absorb all this in one sitting.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/memory-barriers.txt

I kept an earlier version of this close to hand at all times a couple of jobs ago where we were using our own chips with a very weak memory ordering. The implementation team had mostly come from Alpha, which had the weakest memory ordering ever, and in the intervening years a lot of bugs related to missing memory barriers had crept into the kernel because nobody was using anything nearly as weak. I specifically remember at least one in NBD, at least one in NFS, and many in Lustre. Pain in the ass to debug, because by the time you can look at anything the values have "settled" and seem correct.

For extra fun, as weak as the memory ordering was, the first run of chips didn't even get that right. LL/SC wouldn't work reliably unless the LL was issued twice, so we actually modified compilers to do that. Ew.
If I may -- what does putting a pebble in your shoe before going grocery shopping do? Is the intent to change the way you walk to defeat some sort of gait analysis based surveillance? (you'd imagine facial recognition was far more effective!).
