You are correct the low price is the kickstart it. The first 100 customers are beta customers. It is one dollar. They will help us iterate, they will help us get the inventory started much faster. We are frugal and we think it is smarter to benefit our customers than an advertising agency. Time will tell if it is a good decision. Good observation and thanks for sharing it.

Every input into the nuclear reactor is just coming out the other side in a very controlled way. There is no dispersal of anything into the environment (except potentially heat).

> It was first explained in the Old (2000 published) Game Programming Gems book in the chapter titled: "A Generic Handle-Based Resource Manager".

It's much older than that. The capability-secure operating system EROS from the early 90s [1] used this technique in its capabilities. Capabilities were kernel-protected 64-bit numbers that mapped to system objects, and they carried a 16-bit generation index that was used to revoke the capability (basically a free operation). It might have even been used in its predecessor KeyKOS from the 80s, I don't recall at this point.

The thing is, this white lie is what keeps confidence levels high, which is what prevents the run.

By merely suggesting that a bank can fail, and that the FDIC is not going to bail out high depositors, they paradoxically _cause_ the run. After all, the people who took the money out just merely redeposited it back elsewhere (that they trusted more).

The white lie is better than a loss of trust which lead to an actual problem. And the FDIC could actually lie without lying by putting in vague words and misdirect people - such as saying things like "if necessary". In fact, people in society today believe plenty of white lies already - what's one more?
> "spending time worrying about false rape accusations in the present environment is demented."

I'm sorry, but not being concerned that some statistically significant portion of rape accusations against fullly innocent individuals often utterly destroys their lives just as much as being raped often destroys that person's life is demented. Both are absolute vile tragedies and should not occur in a truly civilized society. There's something deeply wrong and broken with the people who commit either of those acts.
Glad to know my instincts are in the right place!
Carmack falls into the old fallacy of "This is my experience so it must be everyone elses experience too". Just because obsession is fulfilling for him and he manages to make it work, it doesn't mean it's fulfilling to others. And yes a lot of people don't care about their work, that is the reality of the world. Most people aren't priviledged enough to have the opportunity to work on their passions. The average person needs more free time to themselves, to recharge, to self actualize, it's not about being "lazy", different people have different values and society would be better off respecting that fact. It's easy to give your life to work if you have ownership of that work like Carmack does...
What you’re indirectly highlighting is that the dominant asymmetry is the difference between the risk of having not thought about it and the cost of having thought about it and found no problem.

The average person - the median - has little cost in asking this question - but for the minority it applies to, it has a very large cost if not asked.

Imagine a helpful insurance policy. “Most” people wouldn’t benefit from it. Fine. Those that do would make up for it on intensity of bentit.
> way too many not so good agents

This is exactly my experience. In shopping for my first house, I had a clear idea of what I wanted and a budget that matched that and the first four agents I worked with were nearly useless. (This was before web-MLS was a thing.) The fifth was a breath of fresh air and I would happily use them again.
You can try creating a worker cooperative, then you are an owner, but you don't exploit anyone.
No, it's the same category, but the specific values makes all the difference. The logic depends on the probability of error, the predictability of error, and the social acceptability of error.

By analogy it's socially more acceptable to have an outage because AWS is down than because insert_nich_provider is down even if insert_nich_provider has fewer outages. If insert_nich_provider has more outages it's even worse.
I agree that we should, but why do we need to?

It was probably a couple of years before this that I first understood how powerful the internet could be, when my dad showed me a picture taken by a satellite, and in the background you could see the stars.

Oddly enough, Clojure.

I found that the code I write has far less Code Mass relative to its functionality. This means fewer developers are needed relative to a product's functionality as well, which contributes to less communication. It's a huge cascading effect that is invisible unless witnessed within an organization as a whole.

Ask HN: Why are people optimistic about AI?
I have now read a couple dozen threads on HN on how AI will free up our time to pursue other more meaningful things. How is that even possible? With what money? What resources? If people lose their jobs, how will they go and explore the world? There won't be UBI because AI is replacing us precisely because it's cheaper than real human workers. So if the incentive is to use AI instead of humans to spend less and make a bigger profit, why would the rich then share their profit with the poor? I know some people chose a career in tech because they genuinely care about the field and are passionate about it, but how can you be passionate about something if you can't make money of it? How will you form a family, feed it etc? Also the middle class is about to go extinct, what's the point of living if you can't get rich (enough) by grinding? And to those that claim AI is here to help, if it can replace so many jobs, what are those people that got replaced going to do? I am currently fortunate to be in a position that is hard to replace as of now, but down the line, let's say in 10 years it will no longer exist most likely as is the case with most intellectual endeavors. In the end it turns out that the people that game the system and get government jobs where they can take bribes and do shady thing to get ahead in life have made the best life choice.
Making, Not Finding, Your Way: Review of the Pathless Path by Paul Millerd
First normal form disallows nested tables and SQL does not support querying nested tables.
My gaming group had a big ole Planescape campaign in 1995/1996, and the DM, myself and my then-girlfriend, now wife, went to Gencon. We met the creators, and did some fun little Planescape sessions they had set up. In our campaign, my wife was playing a red-headed tiefling with a devil's tail named Lilah. Being nerds, we of course told the Planescape devs all about our campaign. My wife even has a sketch of Lilah from Tony D in the (then, just released) Planewalker's Handbook.

In 1997, Planescape Torment came out, and we loved it. However, it was a bit shocking to find they had an NPC named Annah, that was a red-headed tiefling with a devil's tail. We still think Annah was heavily drawn from Lilah!

This is like an airline startup offering you to fly on their much better, in-house designed/built aircraft. I think it's cool but no thank you, maybe I'll check back in 10-20 years to see where they are.
I would be shocked if they were on track for an IPO and don’t have this automated. But I also disagree it would be impactful. Reminds me of the Facebook groups from a dozen years ago: “we will quit Facebook until the old design is brought back.” Guess who won that!
Yeah I don’t know that this even makes sense at a glance. How much mass do we expect just moves around by natural processes? Should we even expect to be able to detect an effect of this magnitude (as in, distinguish it from noise)? I do not think so:

- Based on a cursory search, a large iceberg may weigh in at ~1 trillion tons. The calving process moves mass hundreds of kilometers away from Antarctica. This should be an effect of similar magnitude!

- The water cycle moves ~500 trillion tons of water each year. This water is moved hundreds of kilometers and isn’t evenly distributed over the course of a year. We should expect the impact of seasonal fluctuations in water distribution to thus have a comparatively much larger impact on the earth’s rotation.

I don’t think these numbers add up. I think we’re reading this story because it feeds into a certain kind of “we are hurting Mother Earth” mindset.
We can have dreams with dark or perverse imagry that can be very unnerving. The brain and consciousness can act seperate from our intentions and also parts of the body ad brain may leave us and so our self changes.

Something I read like a day or two ago:

> “The FBI and other 3 letter agencies contact these unhinged mentally ill kids and convince them to do mass shootings,” Airman Teixeira wrote in an online chat group, sharing a debunked conspiracy theory after a gunman killed three people at a mall in Indiana last summer. The gunman, he claimed, was one of many mass shooters groomed by the government as part of a secret plot “to make people vote for” gun control.

Kind of strange to see the NYT prematurely assert something as "debunked" without evidence. And not even in an opinion article, but in a regular article? It seems like when the US govt is involved, any sort of journalistic standard gets thrown out

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/us/politics/airman-jack-t...
This almost feels like a realistic fiction book honestly, but that’s pretty amazing for him. When he said he wishes for leaders in influential positions to change their positions on people, I sort of agree but I more hope that those leaders will look at what this 14 year old has achieved and hold other people to higher standards. Not necessarily to the same standard as him, but just higher relative to what the bar is currently at right now

One option is Decker: http://beyondloom.com/decker/

Aesthetically, very similar to classic HyperCard. Simple to use, highly portable, completely open-source with no strings attached and no expiration date. It uses a very different scripting language (APL-like rather than xTalk). For fidelity between the native application and the browser-based port, certain features are constrained or missing relative to HyperCard- no analog to XCMDs, for example- but then again it's FOSS, so anyone can hack in new functionality if they have some familiarity with JS or C.
Adobe could easily make a one-time donation of $millions to set up an endowment which would keep them running for the foreseeable future. The government could as well, I just see it as less likely. The government seems much more likely to maintain an active control over something like this, opening up the possibility of political interference in the future.
Coz appears to use a very good method for profiling multi-threaded applications, but which seems to be not applicable to single-threaded applications and I do not see how it would help to avoid the variability caused by different memory layouts, which, as you rightly point out, may confound profiling results.
Not the solution you're looking for but I personally like having a wrapper and doing something like this (let's pretend this is for Twilio)

trait TwilioClient {
send_sms(num: &str, text: &str)
}

struct TwilioClientHttp {
client: HttpClient
}

impl TwilioClient for TwilioClientHttp {...}

struct TwilioClientFake {}

impl TwilioClient for TwilioClientFake {...}

And that's nice because now we have that abstraction layer away from IO. This will feel like overkill in some cases for sure, but I do find it great for a lot of cases. You can even just make that TwilioClientFake inside of the testing area itself directly. Go has done a good job pushing the idea of accepting interfaces everywhere, but it's ad hoc construction of those is a bit leaner.

Sorry for the StackOverflow-esque non-answer though. Also excuse my Rust, it's a bit rusty.
So many things wrong here. Even if you don't build any 'highly complex reactors' as you call them nuclear waste is safe.

Reduction of waste threw a reusable fuel cycle would reduce the amount of waste considerably but it isn't actually a necessary condition.

Geological storage is unproven and costs billions, but that you seem to ok with. That also involves a lot of steps and a lot of things that can go wrong.

> portions have some amazing-yet-not-yet-known use

We already know many of the potential use cases but I guess if you are not interested in production of medical isotopes to advance cancer research then I'm not sure what to tell you.

Right now we build new reactors only to make these isotopes and the are incredibly limited and only available to a limited set of people.

Equally the storage of nuclear batteries has run out and NASA and other space agencies are desperately to start producing them again.

> It's really not fine, as you state we are quite good at making mistakes and bungling things, adding more factors into the equation increases the risk of something going wrong

It also increases the risk of bringing sustainable reliable green energy, advances in nuclear technology with many application and high paying jobs in the local economy rather then putting up some solar panels produced in China.

> unproven theories that we think quite possibly are wrong

The theories are not unproven. Its simply a matter of doing the engineering, nobody really questions that these things are possible. Its just a matter of having the funds. Instead of every country spending billions digging a hole, investing in next generation technology is just obviously a better idea. For the price of the nuclear repository Switzerland is planning they could literally build a whole fleet of new reactors to power the country.
On the flip side I purchased my last home with a lawyer who's also a real estate agent. They only represent the buyer and provide all services for a flat fee that's tiered on the home price. It doesn't fix the Realtor problem with insane fees and idiotic sales tactics. But it allowed me to buy my home with far less out-of-pocket and at the end they handed me a 5-figure check as a rebate. This would have been his insane commission for doing very little. I don't understand how people still are just giving their money away to "Realtors" who, ultimately, unlock doors. The majority can't actually read or understand a contract (I sued Redfin because a Realtor working for them lost my earnest money when they failed to understand something as simple as a date), very few of them actually know anything about a home or what to look for and finally, these days, most buyers do 90%+ of the work to find the home they want. Do most people use travel agents anymore? Why use a Realtor?
None. I’ve seen a marked decrease in quality across the board and stopped using it a few months ago.

I believe if a concentrated effort was made on social media to censor all talk of "round earth theories" (the exception being posts that are sufficiently dogpiled and ridiculed, to be made example of), creating a fake display of global unified flat earth thinking; given only a few months, 99% would turn flat-earthers. I also believe the only reason this has not happened yet is because there isn't any real profit in doing it. Social media is an incredibly powerful tool for manipulating people by displaying a fake image of them being alone in their way of thinking and in need of readjustment or risk ostracization.
Ironically I couldn't explain on a better example, as mentioning cases closer to reality would just get this post censored. And I'm not talking about vaccines, gender or race theory. And if you can't immediately think of 20 things you're just not allowed to say on any platform, you're just not thinking anymore.
> Armed security is not the same thing as city police.

You're right. They're probably less trained than city police, therefore less likely to follow protocols or make wise choices in the heat of the moment. That's certainly true of the rent-a-cops that schools can afford, and even more true of all-too-eager volunteers.
That it's often similar in C/C++, except instead of the borrow checker being in the way it's fear of memory management or concurrency bugs.
