If we trying to maximize profit for the government - that's correct.
On another hand, extra people would make extra pressure on the housing market (especially well paid developers, especially on the overheated market in Canada).

So, that means inflation and it is bad for the regular citizens. If before they needed to work forever to afford their own housing, now they would have to work even more.
It's clear that the biggest problem is companies prioritizing their cost, at the expense of user experience.

But after that, the biggest problem is clearly the framework/language you use. The maxim "premature optimization is the root of all evil" has done damage here. The problem with frameworks/languages is that by the time you finish your features and profile your code, you're already doomed. There's no way to speed up the entire framework/language, because it's part of everything you do - death by a thousand cuts. Nothing you do can improve upon the fundamental fact of running in an interpreter, with a garbage collector, with complex layout calculations (a la HTML/CSS instead of Win32), or with major choices like processes over threads, sync IO over async IO.

You think our government respects people taking time to rear offspring? Of course not! They're not contributing their labour to our economy while being parents so we've structured the incentives to start families in such a way that they're driven back to work ASAP. Strictly speaking: having children is bad for our labour force and should be avoided.
> Is there an overproduction of artist hopefuls compared to the movies being made?

Yes, this is true literally everywhere in the arts: there are far more aspiring artists in any given field than there is money to support as full-time artists, and the way the market for art works you end up with a very small number of artists making lots of money, a modest number of artists making barely-adequate money, and a whole lot of people making occasional incidental money but unable to devote themselves exclusively to the field because of lack of funds unless they have unrelated support, where the skill/quality differences between being in the top category and the bottom may be very narrow for individuals, even if they are notable on average, because there is so much volume that a lot of the filtering mechanisms that exist in practice are rough.
Fun fact: the author of these rules (Gerard Holzmann) is also the inventor of the Spin model checker (spinroot.com)!
Three years left for the George Washington Bridge suspension cables replacement project. Considering the magnitude of the project this is actually pretty reasonable.

That's not what I'm asking. Of course Alertmanager works. Did you get the system to the point where all the false positives are eliminated and you don't miss any failure either, such that you don't need L1 to stay in 3 shifts in front of a couple of monitors and decide when to call Ops? Meaning you can have your alerting system automatically and directly call L3.
Yeah but Texans don't read, or worse, choose not to believe those news articles. Instead, their problems were clearly caused by the Green New Deal (which didn't exist yet) or renewable energy (which has no difficulty producing power in canada)
If the new language would allow such a tool to work, it probably wouldn't be much better. It would either still have most of the awful behavior that the old language had or the converted scripts wouldn't be better than before.

The way the cmake_policy system works isn't bad, but those unfortunately have only limited impact on the language itself.
Well I guess Canada made euthanasia legal for a reason.
Ok, I changed the wording to "in my opinion". My main point is that it might be possible to build drones matching this description with existing technology. There is existing technology to induce controlled rotation in satellites, using control moment gyroscopes:

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

Perhaps if you placed a control moment gyroscope inside a helium-filled sphere, an operator could generate a controlled rapid spin. I'm not an expert by any means, was hoping someone more knowledgable can evaluate the idea.
Or Ada for that matter! Memory safe languages are not something new, nor are memory safe languages that lack a slow runtime.
I'm a heavy iCloud Photos user and I always hated this feature. Glad to see the back of it.
Coincidentally, happy Tau Day! (6.28)
> In my experience, whether or a vfx shop is union or not has little impact on salary and job stability.

Without unionization across the industry, that makes sense.

Great. Another reason to regularly donate blood. And you don't even have to pay 399$!

Some people read the word "MIDI" and immediately think of music played back using the Microsoft GS Soundfont, and absolutely nothing else. But MIDI was meant as a protocol for instruments to talk to sequencers, synthesizers and PCs, rather than a playback format for audio.
Likely because it's been going on since at least the 40s by private defense contractors, who don't have the same oversight as a gov agency and who are benefiting from the tech with tax payer dollars without the public knowing or benefiting.
Good for housing investors though (sarcasm).
But yea, it is very easy for the government to "improve" economic situation by increasing the house prices.
First of all, we build less = less money spent on the new infrastructure, profit.
And if the prices go up, everyone who has a house gets more wealthy (except they cannot sell that, because they would become homeless).
Also, makes banking very stable, if everyone knows mortgages are "very nice investment".
This is a great idea and I hope one day you can expand to the east coast so I can take the test myself. However, the price tag of $399 is pretty steep for something that just feeds my curiosity and can't be covered by insurance.
This is how it worked out for me using smart TVs:

Few of my relatives (users #2 and #3) use my Netflix account, so I was expecting that occasional (every 10-20 days) login into their account on the TV at my house would be sufficient to satisfy Netflix.

Then user #2 had a prompt about sharing accounts on their TV, clicked “I am traveling” and I sent them a temporary code. The same happened to user #3 a few days later. It was fine for about a week, and then user #2’s TV got logged out and just said “you used all your temporary codes, try later” (whatever that means - i presume “traveling” across the country flags the account).
If we’re talking about things that make life worth living versus empty calories, then might as well dump all movies, shows, paintings, books, and music alongside those cocktails.

Otherwise, consider that maybe op just doesn’t understand comic books and animation as mediums, and has some weird hangups about them. (Their loss?)
If workers were to seize the full value of their labour, or seize the means of production, capital armies (like the police) would attack them. Even when workers merely strike they commonly get attacked by police.

The laws (and even the liberal ideology you adhere to) exist to favour the ruling class. Why would the ruling class do anything else? When the ruling class are the owners of capital, the laws and culture disfavour workers.

Ultimately it’s not worth discussing this to death yet again, it has been done countless times in the last couple hundred years.
Indeed. Based out of Palo Alto.
The "flying triangles" seen from US naval vessels look like jet drones. [1] Those are commercial products, priced around $10,000. One of those zipping around looks like a UFO. Some versions can hover pointing upward; they have enough thrust.

There's not much distinction left between hobbyist drones and military UAVs.
Ukraine is going through about 10,000 drones a month. They start with hobbyist parts and add weapons.

It's interesting to me that "games" has become a synonym for "video games". I play board games instead of video games, so when I clicked the link, I went in thinking it would be about board games. I suppose this is an example of majority rules. The majority play video games instead of card/board games, so "games" has defaulted to "video games".
> Very nearly nobody is arguing otherwise, though.

How is equating CSAM to (merely) emotional weight not doing that?
Ansible Creator on CentOS Controversy
Well, there are plenty of UFO recordings using iPhones.

I don't consider it credible evidence however. There is much better evidence out there, primarily from the U.S. military. Sadly most of it is classified.

Consider this - the flying saucer craze really took off right after the United States developed the atomic bomb - wouldn't such an event pique the interest of an advanced civilization?
I live in downtown Vancouver, and at the expensive market downstairs in my building, it's about CAD$2.50?

The argument about why not to include the i in 2 pi i is incorrect. The problem is he says (e^x)^i2pi = e^i2pix does not work because ln(e^i2pi)=0. But he needs to use the complex logarithm. And for the complex logarithm ln(e^z) =z for z in C.

If that wasn't the case calculation rules of logarithms and exponentials would depend on if arguments are complex or real, a lot of physics would become much more complicated suddenly.
There's no people in those places in Canada because there's no jobs. And the climate is harsh. Canada is not as big as u think it is.
I think this article covers many of the main points, but could be worded/structured better. There are terms of art that more precisely refer to the concepts you need.

For “using floating point data types”, it’s even worse; you often need to use strings, for example if you need to store a bank account number “01234567789” will have the leading zero stripped if you use a numeric type.

“Updating transactions” would be better phrased as “use an append-only log / evented architecture”. (Also, “use a double-entry ledger” is probably the most valuable advice I could have sent myself prior to getting into FinTech.)

“Be careful with retry” should be more strictly “use idempotent operations” and link to the canonical Stripe article on idempotency keys (https://stripe.com/blog/idempotency).

Another important one to think about is bitemporality. “Created at” vs “effective at”. Not obvious at first and you’ll have some painful migrations if you don’t build it in. Fowler has a good overview here: https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/timeNarrative.html.

Edit to add - the advice that maybe using a NoSQL database is pretty bad IMO. I’d advise in the opposite direction - use SERIALIZABLE isolation in a SQL database. Read up on your Aphyr blog posts before trying to do anything distributed. Be paranoid about race conditions / serialization anomalies. If you eventually hit performance issues you need to think hard about what anomalies your access patterns might be subject to. (Obviously HFT won’t use serializable SQL).
So you get it then. Military tech is developed by companies. They are coupled. All those secret jets and rockets aren't built by military engineers with no affiliation to any private entity, they are built through contractors who get paid way more than government salaries but are still given clearances and cannot sell their top of the line technologies to the public. I mean Lockheed built the SR71. That's how this works. I'm confused why so many people are confused. The problem is about the ridiculous price tags and maybe (or maybe not) that the military non-contractor salaries are rather low. But there is no shortage of contractors.

Content Genius: Context-sensitive ChatGPT alternative
Hello, Hacker News community!

I'm thrilled to introduce my latest SaaS product Content Genius! Build for marketers, copywriters, business owners, and any kind of professionals using ChatGPT daily.

If you like me, have thousands of uncontrolled threads in ChatGPT each has its context. But the context window is short, and you have to remind to chat about what the context is.

Content Genius is built around the concept of customizable assistants. Each assistant has its context, like a specialist. Assistants follow the RCG framework (Role, Context, and Goal). This means each assistant is designed to perform a specific role, understand the context of the conversation, and work towards a set goal, thereby ensuring a more meaningful and productive interaction.

But that's not all! Content Genius is a growing ecosystem with a collection of assistants ready to be integrated into your daily routines. Whether you need help with social networks, copywriting, coding, marketing, or just someone to chat with, there's an assistant ready to serve.

One of the standout features of Content Genius is the 'Notes' feature. Imagine having a meaningful conversation with your AI assistant and wanting to revisit some insightful points later. The Notes feature allows you to store chat insights for future reference. Moreover, you can use the AI assistant to edit these notes - summarize, rephrase, change the tone, and do whatever you need, making it an incredibly versatile tool for content management.

I’m looking for feedback from the Hacker News community. I want to understand real-world use-casuse improving the platform accordingly. Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a business owner looking for an efficient tool, or just someone curious about chatbots, your feedback can help us make Content Genius better.

So, give Content Genius a try, and let me know what you think. I am excited to hear your thoughts and look forward to your suggestions. Let's make AI conversations smarter and more efficient together!

Understand that if Russia wins the Ukraine war the BRICS will take the lead on global energy policy. It's the G7 who prioritize carbon reduction, not the BRICS and BRICS adjacent.

If the G7 nations cut their fossil fuel usage they just make it cheaper for the BRICS.

Electrify when it's better, i.e. cheaper and cleaner, not to try to influence a complex and intractable global issue immersed in uncertainty.
Yep. People need to look at the whole picture.

An additional subtle one where Canadians are paying less than Americans: In many parts of Canada property taxes are remarkably low when compared to the USA.
It is true that Unity and Unreal lowered the technical difficulty to make games. And the market is saturated with acceptably good games. You get posts by people who say, my game is as good as game X or game Y and had new features. Why isn't mine popular as well? It's usually a complicated question that people who enjoy making games don't like to think about: what makes people spend money on games.

But there is still plenty of room for ambitious, beautiful, complicated or thought provoking games. That's what's hard now. It used to be hard to make good pathing AI or a performant 3D renderer or real time physics. Now the challenges are different but still very hard.

Not sure about that. You don't get more pay in the bay area, you actually would be paid less because of the taxes. Seattle has faang level offices and their compensation numbers is a bit lower than their counter parts in bay area. But u get lower cost of living and vastly lower taxes so you would even earn more. I have known many ppl moved out of bay area and I think Seattle is one of the top paying locations all things considered
I've previously been advised by my doctor that PFAS tests are of limited utility due to the lack of process controls which could introduce contamination. Given how novel this area of testing is and the prevalence of PFAS in all types of materials, you can't know whether any detection of PFAS in your blood sample is due to presence in your body or presence in the lab + testing equipment. How does your solution through Quest address this issue?

You could also ask yourself about the quality and type of life you would have. Do you prefer your life in Indiana, or Italy?

For me it's a no-brainer that it would be Italy. Not much interest on living in the US, unless I was a millionaire.
The problem is that when you start relying on this too much, then you eventually start shooting entirely without the pants. “We’ll fix it in post!”

It doesn’t happen with the actual costume department quite like that, but properly lit sets have definitely been widely replaced by expanses of greenscreen awash in nondescript lighting that hopes to vaguely match whatever the rendered surroundings turn out to be.
So it's just a feeling then. Although i talked to another friend who made exactly the same observation on its own, without concerting: all of the sudden, some very official sounding declarations from US "officials" making public statement suggesting there may be something real after all about UFOs.

I have no idea who "they" is, but i assume it's pretty easy for a small group of congressmen to spread rumors and declarations on a given topic in the media (from my understanding it is done regularely as a consequence of lobbyist work).
The legal definition of marriage is a topic I didn't want to get into for the scope of my comment, but you're right. I think the bestTM thing for society would be to just separate the language entirely and call all legal arrangements "unions" and handle the economic subsidies in a gender agnostic and results oriented way (e.g. you get a cohabitation tax break and/or filing status, unions of people can enter contracts and own property like a multi-member llc would and division of said property and contractual obligations is handled by the courts if unions are dissolved, and you get tax breaks for number of dependents you have, etc.). Let religions say what they want about religious marriage, but don't let that impact any legal and free (as in "freedom of/from religion") handling of civil economic affairs. I 100% agree that religious bodies have no grounds to impose their beliefs legally on society. In the US religion has no place in law.
that would be a router
This assumes you aren’t blacklisted for speaking about something unthinkable like forming a union.

If by 'their culture' you mean the culture of market capitalism you might be right.

What do you think happens to batches of products that exceed certain pollutant treshholds in the US or the EU or anywhere else? They are destroyed?

No. They get diluted into other batches until they just meet the tresholds of the allowed percentages.
The unions/guilds set some floor for wages and conditions while working. But they don't really do a lot for the aspiring actor waiting tables between auditions for bit parts however much he believes he could be the next Tom Cruise.
It does seem odd that people would put their reputation on the line by making up a story about seeing a UFO.

For example, why would this guy lie about it publicly: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/06/03/opinion/night-i-saw-u...
Yeah but I live in a world where they're not building enough houses so me in an Airbnb at the margin, increases rent for people poorer than me.
Can you share what precisely you were pushing for. How did you phrase it to others at the time?
Honestly it's super hard. And weird.

It reminds me of leaded gasoline in the 50s. It's everywhere. Everyone has it in their bodies. What now.

New regulations in California are banning this stuff in food packaging. And EPA just has new limits for tap water that are really aggressive.

So I think it's moving in a good direction.

Since my tap water isn't the issue, and I don't have any obvious other source of exposure, I'm currently focused on how to get out what's already in there.
Just watch. It's going to be a routine design flaw, like they added a joint or a wiring hole in a bad place and didn't re-run the model.

I like how you complain about people making glib drive-by analyses (that are at least based on actual submersible experts saying they shouldn't have used carbon fiber) by making a glib drive-by analysis that's based on pure conjecture.
Thank trash software. Keeping the ship afloat becomes more important, than wondering where the ship is heading. Thats what trash software does to ppls brains.

Its so bad, it allows (and requires) 600 ppl to sit together and produce a few seconds worth of mindless forgettable sensory over stimulation, to keep a 14 year old glued to his seat. I mean Bill Waterson does a better job with just a pencil.

On top of it, there arent enough over stimulation requiring eyeballs on the planet to sustain such a mindless mega machine(see Odlyzko Content is not King), that the trash software enables. Its natural the whole thing keeps breaking down regularly.

It will only change when people step back from keeping the ship afloat and ask where the ship should be heading.

I guess because Canada only has like... 6 large cities? (1 million+ people)[0]

edit: also... not only a matter of size. But a lot of areas in Canada are just way too cold, so ppl just don't want to be there?

I'm in Vancouver, lived in Toronto for a year, but I don't see anywhere else besides Vancouver that I would like as much as here - for the green areas, mountains, ocean, and milder winter and summer. Toronto weather is bad, either too cold, or too hot.
