These are consumables. Except maybe for the car if its something that one day can be worth a lot of money because it is nice. Like a '67 Mustang :)

> If houses in nice cities didn't cost over a million, people could move away from bad lawmakers!

I don't understand what you are trying to say. I see a benefit having a nice city and somehow a high house price is what you pay to live in a nice city.

> 3. Elections are largely monopolized by older people who mostly tend to be homeowners.

This, in my opinion, is the biggest factor compared to the other two. Politicians that want to win power have to win votes. Older people (and homeowners) vote more than younger (renting) people. A party that prioritises younger people over older people will be referred to as His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition.

The reason Liz Truss was kicked out of the PM's office by her party wasn't because her spending plans were economically illiterate. It's because her plans started rapidly increasing interest rates, so higher mortgages, which is starting the process of fucking over Tory voters.
That can't be true, minecraft already had multiplayer in 2009. He didn't make it intentionally painful and never said anything like that. I remember there being huge issues with multiplayer but that was mostly because of bad architecture, not intentional.
I think you'd start out with gibberish and at each step the output would become more refined, so first you'd maybe see scrambled words emblematic of Berlin, which would then eventually synthesize into a sentence. I think you'd have a fixed length of text, with maybe some way for the model to mark some of it as truncated.
It's your problem that you are not convinced. The trade-off between concrete and wood as to initial vs subsequent costs are not exactly a secret for even an owner who had both, let alone a civil engineer.

Or just like you can test a software engineer by discussing basic data structures and how they behave both in theory and in practice.
Every country has its own flavor of bad driving. I live in the Czech republic and people here are very aggressive and inconsiderate drivers. However they are not sloppy or inattentive. The roads here are far too complex and busy to even look at a phone for more than a second or two. By contrast, driving in the us is super duper low stress. Roads are super wide and designed to be ultra comfortable for cars and drivers. As a result people are not alert while driving I think.

Another factor is that EVERYONE drives in the us. It doesn't matter if you like it, or are comfortable with it, or even if you're good at it. You HAVE to drive. Over here maybe only 50% of driving age people even have licenses. People who don't like driving don't have to since we have great public transportation.

The most sloppy driving I've ever seen is in the us. People weaving in and out of their lane staring at a phone, people driving into ditches, driving through building walls in parking lots you name it. The reality is that many people just should not be driving a car but are forced to by abysmal american infrastructure and even worse city planning.
This is actually a great tutorial on how to represent calculus concepts in code.

I wish it was a longer form document. That covers stuff like partial derivatives or double integrals that I have not intuition about.

Would gladly pay for it.
Perhaps there is better integration with people's workflows. It is hard to tell without actually using it. Aside from that, it very much sounds like things I already do with separate web and mail clients.
> How would an increase in SUVs (which is a national trend) cause this result?

Do you agree that a SUV has worse ability to observe the road? Do you agree that a pedestrian has more chances to survive after being hit by a small car?

If you answer "yes" to both my question than you have to understand that the real question is "why an increase in SUVs is not causing this result in other states". If your answer is "no" then you are talking not about "this result" but about a something else.

Google next Algorithm will be so good...Bard will email you the search results before you even have the thought. While the details are a bit hazy at this point, it's rumored the concept involves utilizing quantum entanglement between particles in your brain and a shadow brain that Google will maintain for every Internet user.
It's fun the play around with going that way. I did via chroot, and using ldd to see what a program like redis needs copied in[1]. But eventually you might want to get a shell into the little environment, and then page thru logs from inside it, and so eventually, unless you are going pure from-scratch, statically linked, you might want something like alpine in there. But its funny how as a solution to dynamic linking is shipping a whole OS.

To be "jacked" doesn't mean to be healthy. Following a healthy way of life with balanced diet and avoid alcohol/smoking/drugs is much more beneficial in a long term. If you add-up regular exercise + cardio (in moderation, not going overboard), in few years one can get pretty “jacked”!

It is another issue, though, if one is obese, and wants to go back to normal. Then, same plan is relevant, but will work much slower. Medical treatment could be necessary.

Just this morning read an article hear that a pharma company developed a drug that can reduce weight with 24%. But how healthy would that be? Are there side effects? Can’t say.

One thing is for sure, at least there is a chemical miracle discovered, the sure way to convert fat to muscle is balanced diet + regular moderate muscle strain + no health destroyers (alcohol/drugs/smoking).
Traffic calming is just an admission that state and local police are utterly useless to enforce laws against distracted driving and texting.

On almost every drive I see people speeding >15 mph over the limit, recklessly weaving in and out of traffic and making dangerous passes to get slightly ahead. The police are doing nothing against this dangerous and illegal behavior and won’t do anything about texting either regardless of the offense level.

> Of course, it’s all bull. If computer does bad, you just pull the plug.

Can you always tell if it's doing bad?

Even if you can tell when it's doing bad, if there's an app which makes you $10k/hour while running, what risk of it killing somebody if left unsupervised will be low enough for you to leave it running unsupervised? Say, while you sleep?

When there's a lot of money to be made, do you trust everyone else to (1) be as risk-adverse as you, and (2) not just convince themselves there's no risk using exactly the argument you just gave?

Let's say you personally are willing to run it unsupervised if the risk is mean 1 fatality per 8*365*80 hours when unsupervised; are you willing for every human to have such a system running unsupervised? A tenth that risk?

Author here - this is very much a work in progress, not that interesting (yet)

For those who are interested RISC-V has a cool vector unit - you can write portable code that runs on a whole range of vector units of different sizes (rather than say just AVX-512 - the same code can run on 64/128/256/512/1024/... bit units and just be faster on the faster ones), different from most mainline ones - it's worth a look-see if you're a vector fan
Jessica Livingston's own words (https://foundersatwork.posthaven.com/the-sound-of-silence)

"""Not surprisingly, the juiciest targets for this sort of willful misinterpretation are organizations and people who are successful. They have power, and power makes them both interesting and envied; I teach founders they all have to be prepared for this as their startups grow.

In my blog post, "Subtle Mid-Stage Startup Pitfalls" I said:

You can't prevent yourself from being a target. It's an automatic
consequence of being successful. So the best you can do is react
in the right way when people attack you. To some extent you have
to resign yourself to letting people lie about you.

The problem with this is, the most successful people in an industry tend to have some of the most valuable insights about it. So you lose a lot when they are silenced. And also, if they keep those insights to themselves, it makes the powerful more powerful. It means useful information remains amongst insiders, like me, for example."""
I wonder what the result looks like if you test people who eat produce from a home garden or if it's typically not enough to make a difference and you'd have to live outdoors. Similarly, people still eat significant amounts of foraged berries and mushrooms in some places - it does not have to be all industrial even if you live in a city.

I'm less surprised by the acquisition but more confused by seeing MosaicML labeled as 'Generative AI startup'. To my knowledge MosaicML is an open source lib for optimising training/inference taking a "speedup" tricks from research papers and making them available easily. At least a few months back that was the case. When did they become a Gen AI startup ? Or they rebranded lately?
Yes, because of the regulatory and zoning environment. Of course they should do this - in an environment where it's more profitable to do nothing than to build, building companies should do nothing. The problem is the environment they exist in. Fix the environment, and they will build more.
I got that, and thanks for the link. But I'm not convinced a pool would have more overhead. It is basically the same thing (not really, but then again, pretty much) just you can encode more information about the usage than a general GC can possible do.

For sure there are other tradeoffs, and whether it is worth it. But when we actually see many GB/s that is not cheap even if you are able to offload to other cores.

The article also concludes:

>It is funny to consider that having TLABs is the way to experience more frequent GC pauses, just because the allocation is so damn cheap!

Sounds like a nightmare, the problem just snowballs, because now you'll be tempted to get into GC tuning.
I think there are multiple ways to set up a lagg, but the one I've tried and works fine is LACP. This requires an equipment that can handle this at the other end, though. I'm not familiar with Ubiquiti kit, so you'd have to check if it's supported.
The trick with powers of two is that you can just look at the MSB of `x XOR y` where x and y have one more bit than necessary to store the size.

So for instance if you have a buffer with 8 entries you have a read pointer and a write pointer, both wrapping at 16 (4bits). When you address the buffer you ignore the MSB, when you want to test for empty you do `read == write`, when you want to test for full you do `read XOR write == 0b1000`.

So you only have extremely cheap comparisons, bitwise XOR and counter increments to implement all operations.
It's not just about code -- microservices can offer a degree of modularity on an infrastructure level. For example, a microservice can own its own database.

Being able to experiment with languages and tools (as you mention) is also a pretty big advantage. HTTP offers a universal communications interface beyond language-level APIs and ABIs. When we think about an entire department with many teams with a diversity of expertise, at least we can guarantee everyone understands HTTP.
It looks good! My one complaint would be that it doesn't save messages in MBOX format (I do see that it has an import option and a plugin for reading MBOX files however)
> It is also crazy how unreliable cars actually are. 20 years old car means some surprise every 3rd or 4th drive

Not so sure about that, petrol engines and cars matured a lot in the last decades. I'm driving a 2004 Ford Focus and it is still going strong, with no "surprises", which, granted, I remember having every drive in 1996 with a 1981 Renault 14.

I would considering changing this old car for environmental impact, in-car entertainment or driving safety measures, but not for the reliability of it.
I already posted the numbers from 1950 to date, both from the perspective of population growth and house building. The numbers are clear, perhaps you were not interested enough to look or were unable to understand.

> Or you can save us all the bother and say what you really mean.

Its pretty obvious that there is a change in the size of the household over the 73 years I cited, which everyone is comfortable ignoring.

The number of homes built is clearly not the dominant issue, but the kind of homes built, the location they're built in, the cost at which they're built, the incomes of those who need to be housed and where they and their jobs are located compared to the houses is the issue.

I could magic up 10million studio appartments in the geographic center of the country - it would make absolutely fuck all difference to the price of a family home in Manchester or Bristol (it would probably make them even more expensive as it would drain all the house building resources of the country). It would however, fully satisfy and surpass the targets of those that "care or are unhappy with the current situation" and their caring solutions.

Actually a large number of issues did start just after 2019. Something happened and the demands and tastes changed drastically nearly overnight, suddenly the kind of homes built, the location they're built in for the prior 10 years was not what everyone wanted.

Will it last? Will it flip back overnight? I dont know. Obviously I am not as knowledgeable or as interested as you are.

While I agree, I think we need to widen the net to "distracted driving" so phone calls, eating while driving, yelling at kids in the backseat, etc all fall into the same consequence. Drivers in the US, in my experience, tend to believe their vehicles have some some of magical autopilot mode, and I'd argue that some safety features come dangerously close to advertising themselves as such. What drivers fail to recognize is just how splintered their attention becomes when they focus on other tasks while driving, even something as seemingly simple as changing the radio station. No amount of data seems to be able to convince them that their brains are no more capable of juggling operating a vehicle while doing other things than anyone else's is, but we all want to believe we are capable.
The Times seems to be pretty strict with their journalists - in the late 1980s, Boris Johnson (he later became Prime Minister) was sacked by the Times because Johnson invented a quote from his godfather, the historian Sir Colin Lucas.

I'm not sure how common this is in the industry- whether lying is a slap on the wrist among some newspapers... Johnson still works as a columnist for other papers.
Correct, I don't think he hesitated even a little bit on adding multiplayer support. The very first announcement of Minecraft's existence mentioned two planned game modes (fortress and team survival) that would require multiplayer and that all gamemodes would support it https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6273.0

Everything I've read on the subject suggests that both economically and socially, we're far more left wing and liberal than what we "should be" by this age. I'm not sure what poll you're suggesting; if it's only polling HN members I imagine it wouldn't represent the broader population at all.

"Jessica deserves so much credit for the success of YC but she's far too humble to make a big deal of it herself."

It seems to me that one reason for her success is that's she's able to exist in the limelight. Give her a higher profile and I'm not sure that the her approach as described in PG's post would work as well.

I'm not convinced that everyone wants much attention - I know that I don't.

Australia I’ve noticed drivers are substantially worse on long weekends in particular, there are higher death rates which are generally speed and alcohol related but even outside of that the drivers just seem more inattentive than normal, maybe it’s people who otherwise don’t drive regularly, I really don’t know.
Or fizzbuzz
I wonder how much is actually attributable to people moving from one state to another, where the second state doesn't "drive the same" as where they're used to.

> Governments etc. argue that employees should not demand higher pay to match inflation to avoid a "spiral" out of the goodness of their hearts.

Meanwhile, my government mandates that ALL employees automatically get a raise matching inflation. No negotiation possible/needed; employers cannot refuse. Belgium.

Sounds great in theory; in practice Belgium competitiveness index and innovation index is lower than all its neighbouring countries; including France and post Brexit UK.

In my area it’s because the police are also breaking the same laws. I’ve seen cops drive with defaced license plates on their personal vehicles, park on sidewalks, and recklessly speed.

Traffic calming measures would be by some entity the cops can’t control, so they hate them too.
Yet another outlier, and I’ve experienced a similar problem in a different way.

I actually use email-to-RSS with a dedicated reader to further compartmentalize myself, and I’ve found so many needlessly mutilated plain text newsletters. I don’t understand it. Maybe some notion that HTML/CSS/JS in emails increases turnover? In some cases I get it, for instance my local grocer probably benefits heavily from all the pretty pictures and hyperlinks. However my local news org sends out almost entirely HTML-formatted “plain” text, so that just seems like useless effort. And if its because the automated mail systems use it as defaults, that makes a lot of sense.

How much does a driver's license cost in the US? What do you have to do in order to get one?

Here in Germany, my son has to sit through 14 theory lessons and then pass a theoretical test (with questions out of a pool of 1400 questions). Then he needs 12 mandatory driving lessons (night, highway, country road) and probably 8 more lessons to get him to the rquired level to pass the driving test. This will set me back approx 3000€ ($3000).

IMO the requirements for a drivers license in Germany are a bit too strikt, but what I heard from my brother, who got his drivers license in Minnesota during a high school exchange year, the requirements in the US are really, really low. Maybe we can agree on an international standard somewhere in the middle?
