You missed out on important factors like different investor behavior, consumer spending behavior, taxes, laws and regulations, national scale and language barrier, for your anecdote.

For example, if your wealthy Bavarian "Knights Templar" money investor (who probably isn't as wealthy as US VCs, but we'll gloss over that), can make more money through real estate investments, why would risk it all and take a gamble on some risky tech start-up in a country that has more bureaucracy, higher taxes, more workers' protections, smaller scale than the US, conservative consumer who still use cash, etc.? It's too risky to invest in tech here, compared to the US, even if you were wealthy investor.

Germany along with any other wealth European country, and the US aren't remotely comparable in the tech markets to draw the conclusion that because Germany doesn't have FAANGs it's because its workers can't be as productive as the US ones, when there's so may other factors I enumerated above at play that impact the tech sector.

You rant is just not a valid argument for this position.

it's a great point and looking at various YouTube pros I think it's necessary to add a one more type of "obsession" to the list - a commercial one. Thinking about the way YT works a lot of geekery is either related to attracting sponsors or appealing to audience taste to benefit from the ads.

There’s a competitor in India called BluSmart right now that’s running all electric, fully owned fleets. The drivers are paid fair hourly wages and thus have no incentive to refuse rides or not wait. The cars are simply parked at earmarked charging spots in the city. Their own vetted drivers can unlock the cars at any point and start picking up passengers before dropping it off at a charging station.

The rides are somehow cheaper, have no surge pricing, and from some insider reports, has profitable unit economics.

Their app isn’t quite as snappy, but it works fine.

They’re eating Uber’s lunch in my city and makes me wonder how Uber is screwing this up so badly.

Yeah, I expect this isn’t going to be how that sort of mechanism works, but it’s always been an interesting concept for me, that while “genetic memory” as presented in much fiction is extremely unlikely just from the sheer entropic hill such mechanisms would have to evolutionarily climb to be able to pass on so much information (on top of the baseline necessary information for reproduction, the majority of memory won’t on average confer a lot of reproductive advantages, so it’s statistically more likely to get optimised out by the random mistakes of evolution, hence entropically “uphill”) …

Yet while this fictional form is unlikely we have quite a lot of good examples and evidence for “inherited information”. You have to be careful with it since it’s too easy to accidentally include side channels for organisms to learn the information and thus break the test. Such as insects being genetically driven towards food by smell at a molecular chemical interaction level, and the smell becoming associated with the information you wish to test. A bee colony can’t be reliably tested unless you raise it from a new queen in an odourless environment if you wish to see if bees genetically know that the shape of a flower is associated with food. It’s tough to subtract the potential that a colony will have learned and “programmed” later generations of bees with things like the classic waggle dancing in order to more efficiently gather food.

We do have good ones though like cats and snake shaped objects, it’s surprisingly consistent, and pops up in some other animal species. It’s wired into our brains a bit to watch out for such threats. There’s a significant bias towards pareidolia in human brains and it’s telling how deeply wired we have some of these things, but it is there and study shows it seems to form well before our cognitive abilities do… these all have some obvious reproductive advantages however so it makes sense that the “instinct” would be preserved over generations as it confers an advantage. But it’s still impressive that it can encode moderately complex information like “looks like the face of my species” or “cylindrical looking objects on the ground might be dangerous”… even if it’s encoded in a lossy subconscious instinctual level.
> A lot of my examples went unaddressed.

It's always shocking to me that in my lifetime (programming on a VIC-20 as a kid), computers have gone from something that you could understand at all levels to a deep pile of abstractions that no one can honestly claim to understand without a lot of handwaving.

I think we also marvel at how much the early programmers/hardware guys were able to do with such limited resources. Useful applications could be written that take kilobytes of RAM, and the optimizations to get there are reasonably easy to understand.

> How does that fit with accusing the other person of "mansplaining"

It doesn't, as I said in the very comment you're replying to: "I realize that I've violated the guidelines here in my response to other guideline violations".

> assuming they would have known who the other person

That wasn't my assumption. Although one ought to know who the submitted article author is, as that information is easy to obtain directly from the article.

> they responded as if they might have possibly missed something basic

That's the problematic part. We're not required to know who the HN commenters are, but we are required by the HN guidelines to treat them with respect and respond to the most charitable interpretation of their words.

My complaint isn't "You don't know saagarjha". Rather, my complaint is "You're assuming that saagarjha is an incompetent idiot, but saagarjha just so happens to be extremely competent and knowledgeable."

Moreover, Cycl0p created a HN account yesterday for the sole purpose of replying "Nonsense" to saagarjha https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Cycl0p

Do you not see a problem there?
I'm still in the early stages of learning how to code, but I've started doing something similar to help me get into the right mental state. As someone with severe ADHD, it takes serious effort to get the brain waves waviating at the right frequencies. If I mentally check out, even for a couple of hours, it's like I completely forget everything I've worked on.

Out of frustration, I started talking through my code out loud, and the difference was incredible. All my mental scaffolding and abstractions sprang to life, where before it would've taken an hour or two of rereading my code and rebuilding everything in my mind. Now I'm a chatty bird, typing and mumbling to myself as I work.

Also, not to discount your struggle, but don't write yourself off as a bad communicator—pun intended. I spent 15 years in tech, then seven years writing marketing content, and now I'm transitioning back to tech. Words are hard. The ability to string them together coherently does not make someone a great communicator. Like writing code and engineering, it's easy for laymen to conflate the skill with the vocation.

Keep practicing—you'll eventually outshine those who think opening their mouths and making noises is necessarily good communication. And check out some famous speakers who're on the spectrum if you haven't—you'd be surprised.
Perhaps, I think that a good middle ground could be for is to emulate old envirments and see what modern tools can come up with.

> If there were aliens or magical beasts roaming around, they would be natural.

Sure, and if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bicycle.

I think the two categories you describe are orthogonal - rational people are open to the potential of alien life forms, but, similarly, would deny the possibility of 'magical beasts'.

(Depending on what 'magical beasts' might actually entail - your second paragraph seems to re-purpose the word to something closer to fascinating, if I'm reading that right. Though in context it feels more like supernatural than merely wondrous.)
>If you can prompt output that includes verbatim extracts

If I create a program that picks random words from a dictionary and I end up with a seed that generates that text verbatim, then does that mean my program contains the copyrighted text?

You might be able to craft an intricate prompt that just happens to recreate that copyrighted text. Run it enough times until you get it verbatim and done.

I’ve clocked 4300 miles on my running app since 2011, after growing up hating running, so I’m aware of the grind. But there are different ways to run and some are more enjoyable to different people. I have to believe this is true in the lifting world as well.

If I would have told someone "I don't like running on the treadmill or on the track, it's super boring", the better response would have been to tell me that there are different ways to find enjoyment in running rather than just saying I should suck it up. For me, that was running in flat-ish urban-ish settings to take in the sights while signing up for an occasional race to give me something to work for. I never liked running in the rain so I just...didn't, unless I was on a training plan for an upcoming race or otherwise couldn't work around it. And so on.

For my lifting: variety, access to a sauna, and a public setting that allows me to watch and talk to other people have helped a lot. I'll see how far it carries me! (And I welcome more advice for making it enjoyable.)
Sure, but it’s also very normal not to as well. Positions evolve.
Rust is also a “system implementation” language.
It should not be understated how bad this is. Your #1 expectation as a cloud database provider is to keep data safe and recoverable.

I hope for at least their sake they took a backup of everyone's DB that could be restored in another region, but based on the fact that they didn't do a scream test, I doubt they thought about this either.

This must have been forced upon by upper management, because there is no way someone along the chain to actually delete data did not suggest a scream test. No way someone didn't say "this is a terrible idea, email is not reliable".

Adding Influx right next to GCP of providers I'm never using. Self-hosting is the way, and use ClickHouse.
Yeah. It's been terrible forever. Either returning far too much, far too little, or both.

I've often just resorted to grep on an export of mail directories to find that one email.
I even once imported the mails (ugly bash and Ruby hacks) in meilisearch to actually find stuff.

It surprises me that it's possible to have a search experience that's worse than manually grepping through directories.

Lead data enrichment through API?
Hi there, I'm looking for ways to enrich data for our SaaS users that register only with an email address.

We've been checking various providers but don't feel that we found the right one yet.

Based on an email address we would like to get:
- Their name
- Location
- Title
- Company

We would like to get this through an API call.

The provider should have data globally (with a focus on EU & North America), regularly refreshed.

Any suggestions?

AIUI, another big problem with the 80286 was that it did not support returning to real mode after switching to protected mode. This made compatibility a huge issue, which was a big problem for Microsoft. The 80836, besides marking a switch to 32-bit, added virtual 8086 mode, which allowed for emulating real mode after already having switched to protected mode.

https://web.archive.org/web/20021003235610/http://osdev.berl...

This "virtual 8086" mode is what was used for the VMM kernel of Windows 9x, and later the NTVDM system on 32-bit versions of Windows NT. I remember being able to run some DOS software on Windows XP (but it wasn't perfect).
That seems more like an interim step to me. I imagine what will follow is one of three things:

1. An affected restaurant increases costs for online purchases to compensate.

2. An affected restaurant stops offering delivery. If it's not worth the money, why offer it?

3. An affected restaurant gets its own drivers. That's how delivery used to operate before the gig economy, and it allows them to control costs and fees.

I've already seen restaurants start putting on delivery charges, and often significant ones (a $6 delivery charge doesn't seem unusual where I am).

> But the platforms’ role in it will be more stable and secure.

I don't think it will be. The platforms currently offer discoverability and drivers. If platforms aren't willing to bear the costs of the drivers, restaurants will stop using their driver services. And if the platforms are reduced to just discoverability, it becomes much easier for competitors to enter the market.
> There is a reason Uri hangs around with magicians and mentalists, and not psychics. He doesn't have psychic powers ..

Of course, psychics don't have psychic powers either -- so I doubt that's the reason he eschews their company (or more likely, they eschew his).
It’s a good thing that claims be sourced, but we should put in a minimum of effort to a conversation. Especially one with a large body of evidence.

If person A claims “the earth is round”, person B can find sources to prove it faster than it takes to write a comment. If person B did search and found the studies lacking, they should open with that and ask for clarification. Otherwise it looks like they’re waiting for person A to do all the work so they can nitpick every source and derail the conversation away from the broader, productive, important points.

For circuit-switched voice, 3G/4G dongles have undocumented commands to enable an audio-only virtual serial port that sends/receives raw audio data to the host (and you control the call via good old AT commands).

For VoWiFi/VoLTE it's just SIP with custom auth (involving the SIM card, so you need to be able to talk to it - most modems provide a way to send/receive raw APDUs to the card) on a dedicated APN so you just need to implement support for this custom auth in any SIP client (Linphone?).

The difference is bitrate. DVDs were 10 mbit of MPEG-2 while YouTube 480p is 2.5mbit of h264 (or transcodes thereof). These are different encodings so it's not a 1 to 1 comparison of bitrates as h264 is more efficient, but this article indicates that you'd need 4mbit of h264 (which is closer to that YouTube allocates to 720p video) to match the perceived quality of 10mbit of MPEG-2: https://streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/h264-vs-mpeg-2-...
