There are different women with different preferences. This comment, on its face, doesn't sound like you're talking about a singular woman, but lamenting the fact that one woman is not upfront about the preferences of...another woman she's never met.

> If you can't support the carrying cost of your private property, you sell it, just as you would with a car, for example.

A house, being a home, is radically different than anything else precisely because you can't just sell it without incurring an enormous disruption in your life, and if you're being forced out of a location you invested in for "life", then an enormous personal toll as well.

I can sell my car without completely uprooting my life and perhaps ending up with a lower level of happiness. Very often, this is not possible with a home.

Not really. There are plenty of things that money doesn't make better.

You're looking at this through a purely economic lens. That's pretty mercenary, but fair enough. The point that I'm making is that for many, a house is something far larger and deeper than just an economic unit.

Another explanation that I find persuasive, put forward by Ezra Klein, is that productivity-sapping uses of technology grew along with the productivity-boosting ones: social media, for example, is a powerful mechanism for distracting people and destroying their attention spans.

If this is a good explanation, it begs the question of what AI might do to destroy productivity as well. If you’re constantly sexting with your AI girlfriend, who just happens to be extraordinary adept at tapping into your sexual proclivities, maybe you won’t get as many support tickets resolved as your boss was hoping.

More hypothetically, I would also expect that a world in which people spend a lot of time with screens strapped to their head, consuming an infinite stream of entertainment provided by generative AI, is not going to produce higher GDP.
both can be true. if you watch footage of people driving them on the ring, you'll notice they have to to take corners at much slower speeds and then make up time on the straighter sections. even accounting for the higher weight, model s plaid makes a lot more power than the other cars on that leaderboard.

I don't mean to move the goalposts, just pointing out it mostly hits that time by having an insane power to weight ratio and adequate brakes. or in other words, going really fast in a straight line.

I wonder how many of those dollars are really hoarded, and how many have been siphoned off and gently escorted out of the country.
GDP is not productivity. If I manage to produce/sell a hundred gizmos for $1 each, displacing my competition who were producing/selling 50 gizmos for a price of $5 each, I just halvened gdp produced even though both me and people using the gizmo are more productive than before.

I'm not sure the backend world moves all that more slowly, it's just if you're in it, you know which new parts to accept, and which to ignore. To take Python as an example, my impression as a newcomer is that Flask is pretty outdated at this point — why not use async/await and FastAPI instead? And are you sure you should be using pip/venv/requirements.txt still? Poetry and PDM both have lockfiles — surely that's better?* And yes, there's lots of recommendations for linting and formatting, but which should I actually be using? Is Black best? Or Yapf? Ruff seems to be the new hotness, is that the recommendation now?

I'm sure the answers to you are fairly obvious (and in fairness, a lot of them are fairly obvious to me), but that's often the same feeling I get when people ask similar questions about the frontend ecosystem. Like, if you're not worried about doing anything complicated, pretty much all the libraries that I use on a daily basis also provide a `.min.js` download on the GitHub page, and you can just pack those into a folder and get started writing your code. If you need a bundler, just install NodeJS, and then run `npx vite` in a folder with some HTML files in it, and you'll be up and running in no time.

* My point here is to be sarcastic, but this is one of those things that genuinely surprises me about the Python ecosystem every time I have to interact with it: the default way of installing dependencies is completely insufficient for creating at least halfway consistent builds, and every alternative seems only designed to deal with the happy path.

It definitely feels slower than previous versions. The fact that the Start menu almost always takes multiple seconds to open is absolutely inexcusable. To be fair, it's likely attributable to running a bunch of heavy apps (Visual Studio, Docker Desktop, multiple Chrome windows) on 8GB of RAM, but the task manager doesn't typically show memory as full, or any other obvious diagnostic. The primary hard drive is an SSD.

Tried this while in Hawaii with a rental EV (with no charging at my hotel) and it did not work at all. Hawaii is one of the states with the most EV's per person and there's frequently chargers in places like malls and grocery stores (whole foods and target in particular). However, because there's so many EV's, all of these chargers are always in use, and there are usually lines or people waiting around to snag a spot as soon as it becomes available. It was a massive inconvenience and put me off of EVs for the near future: I'd either need an sfh or to be somewhere that figures out public charging when more than a tiny fraction of the total vehicles on the road are electric.

Nope. The hype around AI by the AI bros is totally similar with the crypto bros back then.

> AI/ML is creating utility everywhere in our lives - speech to text, language translation,
recommendation engines, relevancy ranking in search, computer vision...

Yet I guarantee that you don't trust any of their outputs for any serious applications and you need to constantly check for it's reliability since its output is often wrong, inaccurate or even outright nonsense. You don't trust it yourself, which that is the problem of this entire hype cycle.

On top that, it is all at the expense of the planet getting incinerated with no efficient alternatives to counter the amount of extreme waste of resources that these systems are consuming. [1] [2]

> Crypto never amounted to anything beyond a currency for black market transaction, a vehicle for speculation, and a platform for creating financial scams.

'never'

So Moneygram, Stripe, Checkout.com, etc using it is 'never amounted to anything'? If it was only for financial scams, all of them would have stopped using it a long time ago.

They simply didn't because financial scams on a transparent public ledger is a scammers nightmare and sounds like a very poor platform for creating financial scams.

But maybe you need to look outside of the AI bubble and see the trillions of dollars in which the banks have allowed in actual black market transactions by criminals in the FinCEN files [0] which is nothing compared to crypto.

> I cant believe how much seemingly casual use it is getting for people to be a little better at their hobbies.

From my general observations, insecurity is rife in bodybuilding but generally nonexistent in powerlifting and strongman. Powerlifters/strongmen will use steroids for sport performance reasons and they’re generally in the sport because they just like lifting heavy shit. They’re not really comparing themselves to others, just trying to beat their previous PR and they’re generally not doing it to attract women. To an untrained eye they can often times look like a fat dude.

In contrast, a lot of bodybuilders are in the sport because they’re insecure and/or want to attract women. I would say the majority of lads training in the gym are really doing it for these two reasons. This is only made worse when they scan the gym and compare the weight they can lift with that of a power lifter who’s often times no where near as big yet capable of lifting more. As a result, you’re far, far more likely to see bodybuilders getting in scraps than powerlifters and strongmen, half because of the testosterone and half because of the insecurity. Sometimes they’ll find the confidence they’re seeking if they get big enough or start getting women but often times not. A lot of them would be better off doing a a martial art or boxing, probably the former as there’s more of a culture of “you only use this in self defence if you absolutely have to” whereas the majority of local street fighters almost always seem to have a boxing background and something to prove.

Quantum secrecy – A brief on quantum cryptography and quantum cryptanalysis
Ask HN: What uncommon/unusual knowledge has improved your life, positively?
My mother has been experimenting with bach flower remedies. I was quite skeptical at the beginning, but now that I have seen it working (it works very well, at least for the cases I saw), I now have more of an open mind.

Which brings me to the question - what uncommon, unusual, little known knowledge that you possess, that improved your life positively? This can be anything from health, exercise, healing methods, mental aspects, food, learning... anything. I understand the question is very broad, but I think it is still a valid thought to ponder.
<< heard a real conversation between two highly trained technical folks around using an LLM to do a simple data transform from one wire format to another. Yes, let's use a cluster of GPUs and some faulty hacked together prompt to transform a well written structured format to another at speeds that approach molasses. Nobody had a clue as to how much the runtime costs of this would be. The solution to it being slow? Add more clusters. -- absolute idiocy.

I.. can totally hear it in my mind.. including ISO20022 requirements happy talk.

My initial take to the posed question that it isn't just tech. Business orgs appear to be jumping in with both feet ( thankfully, my little corner of the universe seems more conservative for now ). Still, it does not disprove your statement that we are in a heavy hype train now.

edit: I do take issue with wire format being well written ( or structured ) at this point. There is a reason SWIFT had to back down a little on the aggressive timeline for example.
Quart is pretty much "async flask". So you would do it exactly the same as you do for a flask app. ie a recipe like this should work just fine https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-buil...

> At some point it has to be treated as a negative externality like pollution, and the people responsible for it need to pay their fair share of these externality costs.

I disagree strongly with categorizing it as an externality. But ignoring that, what you're actually arguing is that nobody can ever own a home that they can rely on being a home for the rest of their lives. Unless you're into real estate investing, this cuts out the one real advantage to owning a home and allows something you purportedly own to be legally stolen from you.
It's probably fair to say that matrix-rust-sdk is the flagship now, not matrix-js-sdk. Yes, js-sdk's doc isn't exhaustive, but http://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-js-sdk/stable/ and guides like https://matrix.org/docs/legacy/usage-of-the-matrix-js-sdk/ tend to be pretty good.

In terms of "Matrix sucks because not all clients have good UX" - you could say the same about the Web. Meanwhile Element X kicks ass, and is rapidly coming up to feature parity - to the extent that we're going to soft-launch it on the App Store tomorrow.

Why not change to anabolic steroids in title because they’re not talking about corticosteroids. It’s extrapolated from 2015 data also.

There is a lot of talk about negative effects that are widely known. At a bodybuilder or high medicinal level, you can work out multiple times per day at max effort without getting tired and only hungry or sweaty. Your brain will work at the highest efficiency but you may have issues applying it. You may not even need to sleep depending when you take it and for how long.

Using it will either scare you to stop or you can take them until your kidneys fail and you’re in a wheelchair like Ronnie Coleman. If you live long enough maybe you end up with testicular cancer or it supercharges your brain and you end up curing cancer.

I've read this before, but many of Joel's posts are timeless, and this was a great re-read.

I did notice something new... Wondering if anyone can shed light on this?

> If you’re going into a market with no existing competition, lock-in, and network effects, you better use the Amazon model, or you’re going the way of Wordsworth.com, which started two years before Amazon, and nobody’s ever heard of them.

Then he links a reply from the Wordsworth founder, which was kinda heartwarming:

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/07/wordsworth-respond...

but below that, Joel posts his own reply to that email, which reads as incredibly condescending and mean-spirited to me? does he use this tone with others, is it just bro talk?

> [several paragraphs complaining about independent bookstores]
> Anyway, that’s my bookstore rant It’s great to hear from you, and I suspect a lot more people will hear of Wordsworth if Amazon runs out of money as quickly as some analysts think they will!
Especially in translation quality. Being able to run high quality translation model that does 100 languages directly without going through English on a desktop pc with a previous gen gpu (2070 in my case) is huuuuge. (I'm talking about fairseq and m2m100 for anyone interested in spinning up their own).

If I was going to name the biggest good thing AI has done to humanity so far is the ability to read internet sites in other languages like Chinese (Google sucks at it, you have to use other tools, I use an app called "tap translate screen"). Also ability to do voice to text and translation at the same time on mobile devices (currently requires online connection).

People are doubtful of this because AMD has halfassed it over and over in the past, but I do see a lot of desire among MS, google, and AMZ to break nvidia's monopoly on gpu compute. I don't know that ROCm will be the thing that does that but I do think some open source alternative will gain steam. Google is furthest along here with their tensor cores and the support for that, but I could easily see a group rallying behind AMD hardware as the only gpu manufacturer out there that has serious experience with HPC.
As I noted in my top comment TRT therapy for older men is far from sketchy/illegal at this point - to the point of hardly being controversial.

I’ve been using FDB for toy projects for a while. It’s truly rock solid. In my experience it’s the best open source database I’ve used, including mariadb, Postgres and cockroach. That being said, I wish there were more layers as the functionality out of the box is very very limited.

Ideally someone could implement the firestore or dynamodb api on top.

https://github.com/losfair/mvsqlite

Is basically distributed SQLite backed by FDB. I’ve been scared to use it since I don’t know rust and can’t attest to if mvcc had been implemented correctly.

In using this I actually realized how coupled the storage engine is to the storage system and how few open source projects make the storage engine easily swap-able.

Of course no one knows how to even begin to come up with a way of addressing that problem.

So the only viable option is to keep on masking it. And keep propagating the junk data and zombie schemas ever forward.
