Apple has a way for zero copy since they have one memory pool for both GPU and cpu.

This behaviour can end up being pathological and counterproductive.

It drives my wife INSANE that... I have nice brand new pair of shoes from 5 years ago I never ever wear, because I refuse to put wear on them and instead use the cheap shoes from 8 years ago. Same with shirts and sweaters - the nice ones she bought me over last few years are waiting in the closet until my old shirts and sweaters die - and some are getting close to 20yo.

Nothing wrong with it, as such. But it's not always rational behaviour either - more of a left-over compulsion from leaner time (I come from eastern europe and then 2 years of civil war).

As for people repairing anything - much as I love his writing, I disagree with Heinlein's "specialization is for insects". I can help a friend with computer or fix our network. There's weird things I can do like watches and whatnots. There's any number of things I can do well. But I'm probably better off doing the thing I do well, getting paid for it, and then in turn paying plumber or electrician or mechanic for things they do well.

If fixing a car or your washing machine makes sense or is your hobby / pasttime, brilliant. But sometimes it doesn't, and it's OK to keep the circle of life/economy going :).
interesting - who would you compare against?
Right. My question is closer to this: why do we need exclusive moderators? If posts & comments are our dataset, what is the purpose of only allowing one, singular curated view into that dataset?

There are removals for ToS/legal reasons, which can be fairly universally applied. I see that as traditional moderation.

However, there are also community-specific removal paradigms based on what a moderator team sees as the vision for a space. This is much more "curation" than it is moderation.

So, assuming we will always need category 1 moderation, why do we marry only one set of category 2 moderation (curation) to a dataset of user-submitted posts and comments? What's the harm in allowing me a moderated but uncurated feed, and allowing me to apply my own filters? This would allow topic-specific items to congregate in one place with different curation paradigms present based on what users want. This solves many of the problems I see in the federated-reddit world.
I checked my profile by visiting old.reddit.com/user/[username]/comments.

Then I used shreddit to edit/delete my comments, and kept viewing that page to confirm comments were being removed. I also picked a handful of comments and confirmed they appeared as “deleted/removed” in the threads in which they appeared.

When shreddit was done, I checked my profile comments list to confirm it was empty. I double checked 1 and 12 hours later in case there was some cacheing.

Please do not take advice on cognitive science, personal health, finance or relationships from renowned experts who have found immense success in entirely different fields of knowledge.

John Carmack is a very intelligent person who can teach you a lot about many extremely complex engineering-related matters.

Applying his advice on health and work-life balance without a full understanding of the many variables that skew his perspective and his own daily life is probably a bad idea.

Expertise is not automatically domain-transferable. Anyone claiming otherwise is suffering from hubris, or star-struck.
Are you claiming that Reddit staff rather than r/programming mods did this? Why?
Yep, I just commented the same thing before I read this. I'd say it's both Dart and Material Design. Dart doesn't seem bad (I've only glanced), it's just not very compelling or interesting.
The BSD kernels (Net, Open, and Free). So many interlocking layers of C macros and typedefs, so many layers of "security features"(1) that are copy-pasted all over the codebase (such that a very simple syscall might be two lines of actual code and 200 lines of boilerplate copy-pasted security features). But I got my tasks done, and swore to never touch kernel dev again.

(1) - Actually, what I'm calling actual security features, plus jails and zones and Linux compat layers and performance counters and debug systems and obscure compile options and features that haven't been used by a soul since 2004.
Anyone can create a community. It's up to the community owners to decide the mod teams and moderation rules they want their community to abide by. We are looking at leveraging AI to assist the communities moderators.

Here's a list of the core community features:

1. Customizable discussion boards. Community owners can setup threaded discussion boards for different topics related to their niche. Say a user creates a community for a niche like "Cars", under that community they could create different discussion boards for sub categories like "Car-mods", "Car-photos", "Car-sales", etc. This is different from Reddit where typically you only have a singular discussion board per community.

2. Voice chatrooms. Community owners can setup Discord style voice chat rooms where users can communicate via voice.

3. Real-time text chatrooms. Currently we only have a singular chatroom for the whole community however we are looking at adding the ability to create multiple rooms per community.

3. Synchronized YouTube/Vimeo player. Community owners can create a playlist of YouTube/Vimeo videos. Their community's player cycles through the playlist and synchronizes the playback so people within the community can watch the same video at the same time.

4. Baked in monetization. Community owners can offer tiered monthly membership subscriptions that allows the members to support the admins and mods. Owners can also link their PayPal to receive donations. Also adding paid post bumps and comment awards that users can purchase where the revenue is shared with the community owner.
> NHTSA added that "open access to vehicle manufacturers’ telematics offerings with the ability to remotely send commands allows for manipulation of systems on a vehicle, including safety-critical functions such as steering, acceleration, or braking."

If this is accurate:

1. Manufacturers have created systems wherein they can murder their customers remotely. (I expect this to be true, at least to a degree, for Tesla, but other manufacturers should know better than to introduce something as insane as OTA brake control.)

2. What the fucking FUCK is NHTSA doing allowing manufacturers to create systems for remote steering, braking, and acceleration?

Then you’ve become the jaded HN poster stereotype. Congrats?

Plenty of people dream of doing these sinful, consumerist—not manly, Hacker News-productive—things because they are the rewind from work pasttimes; they’re the off-time-from-work things that many people just plain need in order to be able to must the energy for another workday. But the fallacy here is to assume that a reality without work is the same. It clearly isn’t though if these things are used to recuperate from work. What if there was no work to recuperate from? I don’t know if they would do manly HN things like implement yet another JS framework, but they would probably do other things than whatever they do in order to recreate themselves right now.
Since about iOS 6, iOS exploits have started with a sandbox escape exploit, since the attack surface is so large with native code running on the device (only one since then, the Checkm8 exploit, used a USB exploit instead). Getting native code on a user's device for "free fortnite vbucks" is step one to silently jailbreaking phones and running adware/malware/spyware.

That's already a problem with the spaces we have today. Even so, subreddits have moderator teams that keep them running. What would be the issue with allowing a B-team, maybe with a lighter touch, and allowing users to choose between one of those teams to curate their view of what is otherwise the same space?
When Elon's wealth peaked at $300 billion (at least on paper), I calculated that with $3 million being an extremely comfortable retirement, he could retire 100,000 times. It's an absolutely obscene inequality. And billionaires crow about taxes.

The original point I was trying to make is that you don't need to be an experienced teacher to create a useful educational product.

Like I said, my product is not really made for schools, and it's also not my main focus. But plenty of teachers and students seem to get value out of it. I just have to trust their word on that of course.

Calling someone arrogant because they want to create an educational product with only 2 years of experience is really weird for me.
I think it's likely that at least some of the reason they don't add more mods is that it's hard to find and vet good mods, so there's an element of risk in adding more mods.
The interesting thing is, I've seen a pervasive view on HN of high-income people doing this, and being proud of it. Trading their money for time (sounds backwards, I know), but by having the most mundane aspects of life done by others, they get to do more meaningful things with their time.

I personally am of the low-income, do-as-much-myself-as-possible and pinch every penny crowd. But HN has always seemed to me to be the opposite, given it's well over average income skew.

> Who cares how much the Apple battery pack costs?

Since I wrote this, I have seen a screenshot that implies that a USB-C dongle might exist (in box? Who knows), which would allow plugging in normal batteries with a normal cable, but I can explain good reasons to get upset about this kind of thing:

When they use a proprietary connector on the top end and hardwire it to the battery on the other end, that creates a ton of problems:

1. Fraying cable? Chuck the good Li-ion battery in the trash and buy a new $200 one! Apple loves the Earth so much :)

2. The proprietary connectors are probably patent-encumbered, meaning the only ones available third-party are either overpriced because they're paying a steep MFi royalty, or they're made by fly-by-night Chinese companies with no quality control. This is the entire history of the Lightning (and Dock) connectors. With those, they added on DRM chips IN the cables too. That useless increased complexity makes the 3rd-party alternatives worse and unreliable because they have to reverse-engineer the standard. Everybody who has ever bought a 3rd-party Lightning cable has experienced this failure mode. So, many consumers absolutely do pay $20 a pop for Apple-branded cables, or they (absurdly, in my opinion) carry around the single, delicate Apple cable from their device box from place to place until it fails, and then buy another one.

Another perfect example of this is the Watch. Apple chose to make that a closed proprietary standard instead of using USB or publishing specs. They offer a couple models of crappy first-party chargers, one of which costs a fortune. I bought third-party Watch + phone combo chargers years ago. When Apple switched to USB-C Watch chargers, the watches in that generation and after will only charge incredibly slowly over the course of about 8 hours using any USB-A Apple charger, or any third-party charger -- chargers which worked quickly on the old watches. It's impossible to tell now which third-party Watch charger sold today might use the "newer" standard, or even really to know what changed! The only solution is to re-buy a bunch of first-party obnoxious pucks-with-a-cable-hardwired for $25 a piece.

You conveniently ignored the part that modern work is not only about coding, it is a lot about collaborating, politics, reviewing and writing bunch of non-sense paperwork, policies, manuals etc.

I wouldn't mind to work long hours if that would mean purely coding.

But no, employers prefer to throw bunch of non-coding tasks at engineers and introduce politics, the more higher up the chain you go and the more impact you want to make.

If you let me code and get stuff done, I will happy do it.

However if you require me to create dumb paperwork, track JIRA tickets, create reports about reports, demand using the latest TPS REPORT cover on all my deliverables - you will get 9-to-5 PERIOD

Base 10 is certainly the default. Decibels are base 10; more specifically a Bel is 1 factor of 10, and a decibel is 1 tenth of that, ie 10^0.1.
This problem is mostly a problem of social sciences. In physics it is important to have a theoretic explanation, if there is no explanation then physicists become excited and start to dig really hard. They value theoretic explanations not correlations. In contrast social sciences lack a good theory, they substitute quality of a theory with a quantity of theories. So it is even important correlations often impossible to explain without resorting to ad hoc theories.

You can see in this article that authors already suggest a theoretic explanation, and I do not doubt that we'll see follow up studies trying to clarify situation.
I agree that the limiting factor is more about hours per day. Than days per week.

So when working 8 hours instead of 6, there are 2 additional hours where you accomplish nothing? What are you doing? Also consider that even if you aren’t accomplishing anything it doesnt mean you’re getting less work done.

Like I said I recognize there are diminishing returns. But it doesnt make sense to claim you’re actually getting less done.

> "It's funny that instead of admitting that the UN chief made a troubling statement, you're blaming a third party"

Oh I fully admit that the UN chief made a troubling statement. I found the statement very troubling, which is why I looked into it and it's why we are having this charming online discussion. What I found was that the UN chief was successfully rhetorically baited by the oil industry executive who is scheduled to lead the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference, and the AP wrote the headline like the UN chief just woke up in the morning with the plan to lie to the press about climate change. It's not like I don't blame the UN chief. I wish the UN chief was not so easily baited. It seems like that should be one of the job requirements for being UN chief.

> "The idea that fossil fuels are a problem, period, is stupid, and it's troubling that someone with political power believes it."

According to that article what he said was: “The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions,” Guterres said, a nod to recent comments made by Sultan al-Jaber, the United Arab Emirates official who will lead the next U.N. climate summit. “It’s fossil fuels - period.”

It was taken from the context of a rhetorical engagement with someone who was trolling him, and the AP reported it uncritically. The oil ceo said something like 'fossil fuels aren't a problem, only burning them and not capturing all of their emissions is a problem :trollface:' and then in response the UN chief said "It's fossil fuels - period." because they both knew that the extracted fossil fuels would be burned and their emissions would not be fully captured.
