Off topic from the article but I will share my story.

Parents divorced when I was 16 and I was sort of left to fend for myself. No abuse or trauma in a direct sense but I would wake up, no one would be at the house and I would drive myself to school at 17.

Tried community college after high school but was working 50 hours as a fast food manager so that didn’t work as well as I planned. Eventually joined the military on a 5 year contract. When I got out I went back to community college, Theron was free and I got close to 2k per month stipend. Transferred to a UC for CS and graduated around 30.

Got a short term job and eventually ended up at a large Silicon Valley tech company.

It was a late start but I feel like I got to see a snapshot of society that none of my peers have seen, especially the American born ones. The immigrants mostly have unique paths of their own that are interesting.

GI bill was truly awesome and helped me achieve a salary and position I never thought possible for me.
It is almost like there are already deep sea subs in existence. And that people already figures out how to test, and certify, them.
Perhaps "American school lunch" would be a more broadly acceptable name. That first picture is just missing a milk carton and it would be spot on for the depressing meals we serve to public schools.

On a different tack, notice how they talk about how easy and cheap it is to prepare this sort of food. Americans and Canadians are getting poorer each month, so cheap food is a necessity. I do love the indomitable human spirit that rebrands cutbacks as hip and fashionable. RVs, van dwelling, tiny houses, now white people food, it's all a way to spruce up a very real poverty squeeze. But it's hopeful and vibrant. It sucks that people are getting poorer, but it gives me hope to see when we overcome.
Ok, so they're aiming for a more "spray & pray" kind of GTM, challenging the incumbents based on the premise that it'll be EU based.

This basically then boils down to: "ChatGPT got x users in a week, and we want to do the same for EU.", without a clear path to profitability or guarantees.

So it's effectively a humongously risky bet by EU VCs?

Same. I really struggle to learn anything which I can't see a practical use for.

Just as an example, in high school learning trigonometry was really difficult for me, like why would I even care about finding an angle in a triangle, etc.?

Only once I studied physics or game dev, this has started to become relevant, and then studying it got SO MUCH easier.

It isn't but I think it can be. In my rural part of the southeast I see more and more people making better food choices (myself included). Maybe the person interviewed is taking the long view of that trend.

I've often thought about how I don't actually really feel "American cuisine" is a thing, even though there are definitely things that are American in origin.

I had the same problem, and then I asked and moved out of the country. If it helps you at all, from an American that moved to Norway:

Tex-mex, pizza, and BBQ (Texas bbq for some things, Sweet Baby Ray's sauce in the grocery store) are what seems to be the most popular in Norway.

And then you have diners. A friend in the philippines once said American food was Ruby Tuesdays. There isn't one of those locally, but there is a Friday's. It claims to serve American stuff. These would probably be the best comparisons alongside stuff above. There was one "American Diner" here that served things like a more traditional American breakfast, things like chicken fried steak, and the like. (They've closed recently). And I've been to one more "traditional" diner with a lot of Americana decor from the 50's and served fairly typical diner fare (think Steak and shake or something similar in their most basic form).

If grocery stores are targeting me, I most commonly wind up with things like box Macaroni and cheese (which I pay way to much for) and American peanut butter brands, usually the only choice for creamy peanut butter. The local peanut butter tends to be chunky, but tend to be unsweetened.
Ask HN: What's your go-to platform for written discussions, and why?
Writing is still the most effective way for long-form discussions in my opinion to reach the best decision.

I find that tools like Slack aren't quite optimized for this.

The RPC protocol used by Windows between machines (e.g. for registry access, file sharing, setting permissions, etc.) isn't COM-based. Similarly, the RPC used internally (e.g. to talk to win32k) isn't COM-based. My Windows knowledge is quite stale but when I was developing for it COM was used for APIs but it wasn't much used for RPC.
The “normal” (meaning you met expectations but didn’t wildly exceed) bonus at Microsoft for a L65/L66 (Principal) level is 20% of base salary. Officially the range is 0-40% but the vast majority will get 20%. Base salary at this range is about $200-$250K, so a normal bonus would be $40-$50K at that level.
Out of curiosity, what makes this notable?
I'd expect a tourist sub to have emergency tanks that can be emptied using simple mechanical means when the sub loses maneuvering capability; maybe even a dead man's switch that causes the sub to resurface. And I'd expect emergency resurfacing actions to release buoys with beacons. So my assumption is that the sub got crushed or is stuck in the wreck of the Titanic. Which means there is no help possible and they are lost already.

But maybe I wildly overestimate the sophistication of their rig?

I also don't understand why they wouldn't operate on a tether, but maybe that was too expensive?

The article conflates two issues and I don't know the exact thinking within the Ministry of Education. One issue is the presence of super-tough questions that very few students could hope to answer. The other issue is questions on "material not covered by the public school curriculum." It should be clear to everyone that the second type should not be there. However, competitive tests need some extra tough questions to be differentiators at the high end.

"The sheer audacity to claim that 'fossil fuel industry' has "created significantly more problems than it has actually solved""

One of the problems of modern discourse is that an idea or meme takes hold and has a life of itself, it becomes the center of attraction without refence past history, past events, etc.

I'm not a climate change denier nor do I disagree that using fossil fuels has huge environmental consequences but no rational person could deny that we owe our whole modern life to fossil fuels. The Industrial Revolution absolutely depended on coal, it has been the lifeblood of modern society for at least 300 years. It is simply unimaginable to envisage modern life without its existence.

Moreover, what's lost in this debate is that coal is not just a source of energy, it is also the source of a many other useful materials. When I was learning about this decades ago we were taught that coal was the source of so many useful products that we round that number off to '1000' to signal its importance.

In fact, coal provides many more than a 1000 useful products, the pharmaceutical couldn't do without it. The previous poster should contemplate the fact that even common old aspirin comes from coal—in fact many pharmaceutical texts place aspirin in a class of drugs known as the coal-tar antipyretics.

Wild assertions of this type happen when we stop teaching history, how modern society came about and so on. A dose of philosophical reasoning and logic ought to be taught as well, that way reason may hold back many from uttering and spreading crap.
I feel like this is actually going to be a huge next step of the self help industry... let's face it, beside getting your life in order, it largely is focused on building connections (friends/dating, etc).

Wow. What condescending hogwash!

You don't have to be born loving knowing how things work. But if you want to be a programmer (and most people don't) you should accept that the people who understand how things work are eventually going to run rings about people who don't. So you can either cultivate curiosity in how things work, or you can cultivate the habits and fake it till you make it. You put in the work if you want to develop a skill. There's no magic in it.

If you're not interested in being a programmer, then you don't need to waste your time reading man pages, obviously.

You have to be passionate about the specific sounds a synth offers to buy any synth at a $5k or $10k price tag. The OB-X8 from Sequential sounds fantastic but it still only gives you the palette of an analog polysynth for $5k. You have to be passionate about the Oberheim sound in order to pay that kind of money. Same with Moog or Gibson, you need some kind of passion for the brand in order to spend the money that they’re asking.
'Tales of Middle-earth' tempts and divides 'Magic' fans with 'LotR' crossover
Imagine a box that is made up of materials worth $10. However, the box has the very peculiar property that a $100 appears in it on the first Monday of each month. Ask yourself how much you would pay to own this box?

Most rational people will be willing to pay more than $10 (the book value of the box). The difference between what you pay for the box and the value of the materials of the box is recorded as "goodwill".

The goodwill is clearly an asset (it's the value ascribed to the future cash streams from the box). This analogy extends to companies if you think of them as a source of future cash streams and should give you some intuition for why the accounting is done this way

GPT-Author
Yeah I couldn't buy the cost savings part but definitely buy the less labor intensive and time consuming part. Like this part seems key, way they put it Chinese culture was very unfamiliar with very low effort meals you eat to get through the day.

> The concept is not new, but there has been a wave of Chinese-language discussion about “white people food” around the world since a video of a woman eating a bag of lettuce and slices of ham on a train in Switzerland sparked wonder. The video went viral on the Chinese-language social media platform Red Book last month.

> The initial response to such meals was bewilderment.

> “I have tried baby carrots dipped in hummus. They made me feel worse than death,” wrote one person on Red Book.

> But the mood has shifted to praise for low-effort meals.

> Today, many companies basically ban GPL-licensed or otherwise copyleft software projects

At the same time, there are shining examples of commercially used and developed copyleft software like Linux, Blender, OBS-Studio. I doubt there exist many companies that banned really all GPL-licensed software, including Linux.

This shows that the GPL itself is not necessarily a hinderance to commercial use or development. In the end many hardware vendors accepted the GPL as a fact of doing business and opened their drivers to add them to the Linux kernel. With NVidia being the most prominent counter example.

This is highly subreddit dependent. Those numbers might be true for larger, image-based communities. For smaller, discussion based communities old is more like 60-70% of new, among desktop traffic. Mobile web and apps still make up the majority now, but that’s true of pretty much everything.
The sad part is, people who couldn't afford it also went: like a woman who spent all of her savings for the trip (she's on the BBC show).

Luckily she made it back up alive (3 times, since 2 times they couldn't find the titanic, they get told where to go by the mother ship).

It is crazy complicated. In my experience, most companies have a few highly competent engineers who get funneled the work of lower level engineers with a review process. These engineers will also set up some domain-specific guardrails/guidelines that can help keep the lower level engineers from causing catastrophic issues.

Combine that with a healthy safety factor to cover the unknowable (internal material structure, etc) and you're generally safe.

Honestly banning Java books is doing any future programmers a service. j/k

But they ban books on all kinds of things, like Buddhism, which I've seen attributed to a fear that prisoners will teleport themselves out of prison or something.

I enjoy his 3B1B videos, but this talk did not resonate with me at all. I was good at math as a kid, but no part of my motivation came from "a desire to be seen as being good at it." If anything, many people looked at me kind of funny for being good at math, so I learned to play down my ability when necessary. Maybe it's just because I grew up in an earlier era, but being nerdy was definitely not cool when I was young.

When people say that academic politics are meaner and nastier than legislative politics, this is the kind of thing they're talking about. Just practically, if Pitts had known how to maintain a formal separation between his personal friendships and his professional relationships he might have been able to avoid all the problems with Wiener (who doesn't really come across in a very good light, blaming it all on his wife is a bit of a dodge of responsibility).

Pitts comes across as a brilliant person who was perhaps emotionally unstable and over-involved with his work - in that, he seems to have fallen into depression in part because his view of how the world worked was sabotaged by the results of his experiments, so he set his dissertaion on fire and fell into alcoholism... (I can't imagine what Pitts would have thought of the rise of chaos theory in physical systems, aka 'sensitive dependence on initial conditions' which was largely discovered with the aid of computers, although Poincare sort of foresaw it).

A rather tragic tale, but not one that is at all uncommon in the academic world.
