> You conviniently left out all the good parts of the economy: unemployment is at all-time lows, inflation is down (but still not at 2%), consumer spending is at an all-time high.

Ah yes, the fruits of Bidenomics!

Real wages are stagnant so everyone has to pick up additional work to deal with inflation. In a backdrop of inflation, these are essentialy a drop in wages: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/realer.pdf

Inflation is down: sure, from a face-ripping to a merely painful number. More importantly, it took several revisions to the CPI calculation and the lowest SPR levels in decades to make it happen. Also conveniently ignored, food CPI is still at a crushing 6.7% annual rate. If you remove food and energy, CPI inflation is at 5.3%. See: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

Consumer spending is all-time high: indeed. Sky-high! It becomes quite nefarious when you think about the above: inflation of very important things is still high, but wages are not keeping up. How is the American consumer trying to stay afloat? Household debt. That is credit cards and other forms of personal debt has hit an all time high: https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc

I understand that Biden is trying to paint this as a success, but it's just cherry-picking statistics that hide the disaster the Democrats have created. It's like the Weimar Republic celebrating that the stock market is at all time high and unemployment is 0%.

The first volume is "Mechanics" as in Theoretical Mechanics. It's a second or third year Physics course not a first year one. I took it third year, it was mostly fine. The treatment of Hamilton-Jacobi equation lacked motivation but it wasn't super difficult. I also took volume 2, "Classical Theory of Fields". That was much, much harder. Anything after that seemed unreachable.
Yes just like we have ID requirements for alcohol and tobacco purchase, the same can apply to pornography which much of it should not be exposed to minors. What educational or beneficial use is quickly outweighed by the many negatives of allowing unfettered access to porn to minors. Regulations on who can access pornography make complete sense and we already have them in the form of over 18 buttons, but these by and far are not effective. Hence since our society already agreed minors should not be exposed to porn, we can take more effective steps like have ID requirements.
> Sonders said she sees the U.S. as having experienced “rolling” recessions in different segments – such as housing or manufacturing – as opposed to the entire economy being swept up in a full-blown downturn. “The recession versus no recession debate” is missing the current nuances of this cycle, in her view.

If we reach 2025 and there's no 2000 style recession, this is the most likely cause. The recession is happening industry-by-industry and at different speeds. Some are sharp and fast (commodities), some are slow (commercial real estate), some happened early (tech), some happened late or haven't even happened yet (hospitality).

It also makes sense from a first principles standpoint: If everyone saw it coming due to covid, different industries will react differently, but every industry would definitely act. The difference between now vs '08 and 2000 is information availability, both from the obviousness of the catalyzing event and how ubiquitous financial information has become in the past 15 years.

Even as recently as 2008 it was considerably harder to find and act on economic data vs today. Most companies of any size can discover and act on economic data based on how they see fit. Given this, it's not shocking that tech acted first given they have immediate pricing effects and have information-driven cultures. Compare that to CRE where contracts span decades, and pricing is opaque by design.

IMO third framing is west is weaponizing/moralizing development tactics when "immoral" methods are simply effective development methods that west doesn't want their competitors to adopt. The TLDR is there isn't anything to fix per say, sometimes developing fast and catching up to incumbants takes breaking a lot of eggs. The eggs are of course humans, and it's tempting to build propaganda atrocity narratives to deter such behaviour. Frequently it even comes from a genuine place, hence many useful idiots who drink the koolaid can advocate for it strongly, but these narratives are ultimately, on a geostrategic level, self serving for entrenched interests/winners who wants to stay on top. The logic of (3) is recognizing that the liberal world/rule-based-order is a rigged game, and it's in the understandable self-interest that others don't want to play in an already unfair system.

You're still putting the burden on the receipient to setup a system that filters out emergencies and non emergencies, and who they want messages from at what time, potentialy switching things on and off as their schedule changes etc. Basicaly they're still spending time and effort so you don't have to.

Clicking a button compared to ID checks are two different classes of barriers. ID checks will substantially restrict porn access to minors, and help keep pornography companies accountable.

In the US, the police kill 25 white people per 10 million white people per year: https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/ (the graphic shows per 1 million, but over 10 years)

In France, the police kill 5.5 people per 10 million people per year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killings_by_law_enforcement._R...

In other words, US police kill 4.5x more white people, than French police kill anyone. But you are absolutely right (despite the cop responsible being charged with homicide) - in one case the guilt is collective, in the other, it's just lone individuals, and no patterns can or should be perceived.

As a bonus, in that killings by law enforcement wikipedia table, there are many countries higher than France. But with a few notable exceptions (the US being one), those killings seldom provoke ethnic riots, despite being much more numerous. So what makes the killings in France so much more salient?
This feels like a double standard to me. If you exclude Steam Deck users because it comes with Linux by default, then you should also exclude all the people who bought laptops that come with Windows by default, no? They’re not Windows gamers, they’re just using what came with their computer.

Also, how should a small business deal with fake negative reviews in, say, Play Store? Google does nothing to fix that. As the app developer you know a review from an account that didn't sign-up to your service is fake, especially when it appears at the same time other similar fake reviews do.

And how does the PoS machine work then?

In the edge case where there is no cell service yet the PoS device has connectivity (e.g. WiFi or other cellular service) they might set up a WiFi access point for users to get push notifications (assuming the 2FA method is not archaic insecure SMS).

Domestic companies already are privacy disasters. The US can introduce privacy legislation like the EU if this is really an issue. But already porn is illegal for children under 18, so this is just a way to more effectively regulate with minimal externalities. Many people already pay for pornography which usually necessitates identification, so requiring ID for any porn site access is not a huge jump.
As an American, it’s wild hearing someone claim that migration is a net negative. I constantly patronize businesses founded by successive waves of immigrants (and, no, not just white ones if you’re making some racial argument), many of my colleagues were born in other countries, and our culture is full of things which came from around the world.

What’s going on in France is the product of specific policies and antipathies dating back to the colonial era, just as in the United States our problems date back to the way we never finished dealing with the impacts of slavery, but that doesn’t mean that immigration as a concept is flawed any more than, say, the British Post Office scandal means IT projects cannot produce trustworthy systems.
I guess that’s my question: is it? Does that inference pass any kind of smell test with basically any non-toy repo?

I live in Saskatchewan AMA.

Tech industry will employ you with a high salary for the cost of living.

You can afford a house and a family and save for a cabin and boat, which is the cultural touchstone here.

Saskatchewan will grow. I'm bullish on our resource sector.

Immigrants to Canada are attracted here due to the low cost of a house. Living here and owning property now is a solid real estate bet for the future.

World leaders of uranium and potash are based here. Agriculture is strong here.

Saskatchewan is not a cosmopolitan urban center. It has deep rural roots everywhere. But I love it here. It is home.
RFS 3: Things Built on Twitter
> RFS† 3: Things Built on Twitter

> Twitter is important because it's a new protocol. Fundamentally it's a messaging protocol where you don't specify the recipients. It's really more of a discovery than an invention; that square was always there in the periodic table of protocols, but no one had quite hit it squarely.
Successful new protocols are rare. There are only a handful of commonly used ones: TCP/IP (the Internet), SMTP (email), HTTP (the web), and so on. So any new protocol is a big deal. Each one of those protocols has spawned many successful companies. Twitter will too.

> We want to fund those companies. And the people at Twitter also want to encourage people to build stuff on top of it. So together we came up with a plan: anyone YC funds to do a startup based on Twitter will get priority access to the Twitter stream, and to people at Twitter.

Same here with a much less beefy system; I did have screen tearing (on Xorg) which was fixed by following the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting

I can play almost all single player games, whether they officially support proton or not; the only major game I have been unable to play (despite following all instructions online) is Gris.
It’s not a very useful point. Again, I can say with absolute certainty that a ball will follow a parabola and that an ice cube in a glass will melt.
Wait till you hear that Rust and Zig's compilers both have their own "MIR".
Bohm in his own words about light: "Light is this background which is all one but its information-content has the capacity for immense diversity. Light can carry information about the entire universe. The other point is that light, by interactions of different rays, (as field theory in physics is investigating today), can produce particles and all the diverse structures of matter."

Well sure, but 99.9% of people don't do that (and shouldn't, unless they really know what they are doing).

What network-attached storage actually uses O_SYNC behavior without being asked? I'd be quite surprised if any did this as it would make typical workloads incredibly slow in order to provide a guarantee they didn't ask for.
I like to think that Lemmy gatekeeps lesser intelligent people from using it. Much like how the I internet used to be.
Unfortunately we didn't use the contactless change to finally fix this. NFC payments are still stuck in the world where the client doesn't have a way to make the payment themselves so has to trust the payment terminal the merchant puts in front of him with their secret information. The transaction should have been reversed. The merchant should have the dumb side, where they only communicate payment details, and the client's phone should be the one doing verifications and initiating the payment. It's bonkers that this hasn't become standard yet. Even more bonkers that internet payments didn't make the same switch long ago.
No need to. Just force card processor to implement 3D-Secure by default.
My background is more borg then k8s, but…

My hunch is this filter would be particularly bad for true talent but would be quite good to populate the workhorse ranks. Which would not a small feat. Underneath the exalted world of Class I scientists that open new vistas, the bread and butter in any field is the adaptation and application of techniques to "nearby" problems.

Curiously there isnt a complete graduate level physics textbook collection in the modern style. Only individual examples here and there from different authors.

With the heyday of physics and textbooks behind us its unlikely we see that ever happening.
Callback hell, and a general lack of types.

I have has a misfortune of spending today writing a test assignment for a company that still uses vanilla JS, without promises or declaration files. Felt right back in 2012 when I first tried node. Worked around the requirement of using JS by utilising JSDoc, but still — it was much worse than I remembered.
Use a service like Sift, or better, ask your CC processor for 3D-Secure if possible.
That intuition is still a bit shallow though. I don't mean that in a bad way, some intuition is better than none at all. However if you start to dig you'll find out the terminology goes out of wack.

Note that you're describing equilibrium as a unique situation where the number of possible states is at a maximum. Now how can a situation be unique if it has the maximum number of possible states? Clearly the situation is as far from unique as it can be.

To resolve the contradiction requires distinguishing between features of the probability distribution and features of a random sample (i.e. a possible state) and also needs an explanation how it even makes sense to view a deterministic physical system (leave quantum mechanics for now) as a random variable.

The theory that links everything together is ergodic theory, which has a couple of handy theorems. One is that for a certain kind of dynamical system the average over time and the average over the 'possible states' agree. Such a system can also be assigned an entropy. It even suggests that generally a system will be found around states with a probability close to 2^-entropy (this is not absolutely always true ..but close enough for physicists)

Now what does such a system look like? Well we need a state space (easy) and a measure on it which is constant as the system evolves (i.e. we can pick a region in the state space, evolve it and its volume will stay constant). The last part is tricky, but as it turns out classical mechanics gives us the phase space and the canonical volume on it (basically the standard notion of volume) which fit the bill. This gives a probability distribution on the state space and an entropy equal to log(volume in phase space), which matches the definitions in statistical physics but also gives a solid foundation for some of the seemingly arbitrary choices.

So there you have it, that's why a system can have a probability distribution attached to it, despite being deterministic, why 'high entropy states' are common, and why physical systems have a uniform distribution (and therefore an entropy which is the log of the number of states).

This also explains physicists got away with using a uniform distribution without worrying about which variables they used. By pure 'coincidence' the standard choice of variables that physicists use have this incredibly nice property that makes everything work out. I'm not sure if this is too well known so it might be worth abusing this to 'prove' a perpetuum mobile is possible to stop people using uniform distributions without due deliberation.
> I sincerely hope that the next round of EU laws tackles this instead of privacy. It's just as big an issue, especially if you're running a small business.

This! Couldn't agree more. I believe this is a much more bigger, huge problem compared to privacy, which is preventable (users can choose not to use a service) but this can take down entire businesses because of data giants' crappy/false alerting systems.

It should be illegal for Google, say, to remove listing without proving, or if that's not possible, if they remove they should legally be forced to compensate for the damage done. (Of course Google is just an example here, applies to any large enough platform)

Maybe then they will take this serious.
Feynman was trying to teach the first three years of physics by mixing the splits between topics. It's far less comprehensive than L&L.
It could. Or I could be the time I decide that many of these people are prima donna big babies. I choose the latter.

I never mentioned high frame rates. I mentioned uneven frame times, because you can't properly show 24 or 25fps on a 60hz display. The vast majority of videos on YouTube are 30fps so they don't have this problem.

Those collectors have taken a high-tech brick (it depended upon a proprietary and defunct network to function) and transformed it into a vintage computer that many people are enjoying -- some from bootstrapping it and others from diving into an obscure corner of history.

There’s a gulf of difference between “helping family and friends” and, say, allowing legacy admissions at the universities that feed the majority of the highest status jobs in our society, or even allowing public schools to falter (much less *be intentionally sabotaged*) because some people can afford a private education for their children.
Just got an AMD RX 6700 12gb for my Linux gaming rig.

Couldn't be happier with the driver support, getting fairly regular Vulkan and Mesa updates along with Wine.

I play mainly older games, either native or with good Wine support, and performance is really good.

My heavily modded Skyrim (2 and 4k textures) is much, much, smoother now ;-)

Since I'm not running CUDA stuff honestly it was the way to go, even if just for the peace of mind on driver support.
You did the best that you knew how to at the time, and what you've described sounds like a great experience for your team; don't give yourself a hard time if you think you'd now do something differently. Getting better at something, or changing the way we want to do it, doesn't mean our past efforts were failures.
I think your advice is good. And definitely better advice than "you should be very ambitious and dedicate yourself to doing great work". But I think it isn't what the essay is about. The essay assumes that it is talking to a person who has failed to take your good advice. I think that describes a lot of people.

A lot of commenters here seem to have read into this essay that it is saying "you should be this kind of person". But I'm not sure which parts of the text support that perspective. The quote you pulled out certainly doesn't:

> The following recipe assumes you're very ambitious.

It doesn't add ", which you should be" or ", which is the only good way to be" or anything like that.
They didn’t give a single specific good reason.
Additionally, LLVM has MIR (Machine IR), which is what Zig's also stands for. There's a lot of M-starting compiler intermediate representations. This Ruby MIR is Medium Internal Representation. Rust's is Mid-level IR. Similarly, there's MLIR, which is usually expanded to Multi-Level Intermediate Representation.
I'm no expert, nor am I a permabear. I could be wrong, but for me it's the difference between "water's warmer than usual, high probability of severe hurricane" a few years ago and "there's a category 4 a few dozen miles off the coast, we're hoping it doesn't directly hit a major population center" today. It's possible the thing turns away completely and heads out to sea, but I wouldn't bet on it
