$350k paycheck takes a fair amount of time to make a millionaire. You could be paying $72k/year in rent and $130k/year in taxes. If transit food and other expenses are $25k/year you pretty much need an 8 year run to save $1Mil.

I’m also not sure $1M should be the standard for making people rich when the typical house where they live is $1.8M-$2.5M
Absolutely. More efficient technologies will make life more pleasant for many people. On balance I think this is a net win for humanity and am in favor of ongoing work in this area.

However, I should have been more specific when I said making air conditioning more efficient is counterproductive. I solely meant counterproductive towards the assumed goal of decarbonization in response to the prior comment's claim that "finding efficient ways to use our energy" is a viable strategy to address climate change.

Without pairing that efficiency with real solutions like putting a price on negative externalities, increasing efficiency is significantly more likely to increase overall energy consumption than to decrease it.
Is your property usable by someone else, for something else, that it is better suited for?

For most people no, not in a meaningful way. Socialists call property that is really only valuable to an individual personal property, whereas right now it's all just property, and no matter what it can be privately owned.

Lots of people willingly give up property to a collective. Money is your property, and donating to charity is just that. Church collections basket? Collective. People willingly part ways with property for the collective all the time. People even more often contribute to what is a perceived collective but is an individual.

Are you saying they should have added JavaScript to their Java based browser?
If I were going to join this, I would seek out the flagship instance. It’s the least likely to shut down a year from now.

I think it’s also important to make signing up as frictionless as possible. I would guess most people don’t care if it’s a federated service or even what that means. If you ask those people to choose an instance, you are instantly going to lose some of them.

> abstracting the costs away from the end user.

The vast majority of costs are already abstracted away. When you drive to work, do you think about the massive environmental cost of all the concrete and steel that went into building the roads and bridges that you drive over?

Yet those costs, which nobody talks about, are of similar scale to the environmental costs of all cars.
You'd be wrong then, because it's (biomedical) textbook knowledge that quite a bit of processing of visual stimuli happens in the retina.
I just want to say that I absolutely adore all of you making comments like it's Usenet back in the day.

Now do the Netscape open sources Mozilla announcement on /.

You're all making me remember what it was like to delve into the weird and wonderful world of httpd, perl cgi-bin, and Slackware 3. (My first Linux!! I kept wondering why the system was so aggressive because it said it wanted to bash me for making mistakes: "bash: syntax error"!)

I have fond memories of working on Sony Broadcast's Linux-based digital interactive TV servers in London. Then packing everything up and transporting it to Amsterdam for IBC 1999 (I think?). Setting everything up was a real slog, but I got to see a trade show spring up from a bare floor into an amazing variety of booths. The construction was crazy complex and I'm astounded that it came together in time.

Thank you all, from this old dude, for the huge nostalgia trip :)

the nice thing about levels on the flip side is that you can communicate with your peers about your progression without necessarily having to give your salary.

When I talk to somebody a level above, they're very open about when and how they got that promotion. I don't expect that they would communicate as openly with me about their salary, unless we had a particularly close relationship.

I appreciated this response yesterday but had nothing to add so just gave it an upvote, but now I'm feeling like from your perspective I asked you for something and then ignored you :) So now I've written this comment to say that I appreciated your response!

I guess now that I'm writing something anyway, I'll say this: My conclusion since having kids has been that what we've deprioritized to our detriment is proximity to family, both for the benefits to our kids from spending time with their relatives, and to us from not doing 100% of the child care. The families with young kids that I see working the best are the ones with loving families and friends really close (like walking distance close) who spend lots of time together. I see the kids in those families being close with their grandparents and cousins, and I see the parents in those families spending a lot of time with just each other, as their kids spend time with the other family members. This seems win/win/win to me.

But it's also incompatible with "we just have to get out of town away from the rat race", because we're not independently wealthy enough to be organic farmers or whatever, and that means jobs, and that means living in places where other people live, at least for some members of the family (not everyone does the kind of work that works remotely).

So that's why I asked you the question. I see advantages to what you described, but it seems like it is the opposite of being targeted at what I see as the primary problem of contemporary parenthood, of families living all scattered around instead of near each other.
Research quality went up in fields where the community (and/or the funding orgs) started demanding things like pre-registration, data availability, and so on.

Those people can use any anodyne corporate option they 'choose' (read: Amazon). No one is stopping them.

Tbh, if someone thinks that corporations are cool and friendly, to the point where they're scared of using a non-corporate book club, then I wouldn't miss them. Their absence would actually be a big value proposition for me.

I use the VESA plate to mount on the back of a monitor (with an extension plate since there's a stand too). Completely out of view, almost silent, I can just flip the DP/HDMI inputs and go from "work" to "home" desktop (though full-screen VNC is plenty zippy and saves faffing with keyb/mouse). It's just a home (linux/Slackware) server for storage/streaming/tinkering but glad I spent a few extra € as it's rock solid.

My sheevaplug (!) sits unloved in a drawer since I got it :D
Yeah but there were and are nasty side effects to this, covering literally hundreds of millions or rather billions of people in some form. Missed social interaction is super important for child development, but how do you want to measure that, how many harm points do you assign to this versus some old or frail person dying. And look at ie India, delaying the height of infection didn't help them at all, estimated numbers of dead there are what, 5 millions? Let's not focus on just few wealthy nations, human life is human life regardless of origin.

Also psychical stress from prolonged withdrawal from most if not all social interactions. We fucked up economy pretty badly and still seeing the results of it, made millions of financially very vulnerable people lose their job or family business overnight. And so on and on. Typical HN crowd is probably the least impacted so we are not a good sample to discuss this objectively.

In number of deaths alone yes it was without question the best course of action. The bigger picture, I am not so sure. And cases like Sweden show that restrictions were mostly stupid flexing of control powers by politicians who were generally during crisis clueless as fuck, and the harder they went the more they polarized non-trivial part of society. Again we still see the effects and they are not going anywhere, ever.

If I would be and old and frail person in high risk category, I personally would take all effin' risks and don't screw up childhood (and conversely rest of life) of my grandkids. But that's just me.

I don't recall any of our previous conversations, and 4 days is not a very long time on HN front page.

Please try to see communication as sharing more than a battle. It doesn't matter who's right, what matters is to share knowledge and help each other converge to something resembling the truth. Life is much more beautiful from that perspective. Have a good day, too, but sincerely, not in a snarky way.
Betterfox configs provide with a clean and simple interface that lets users focus on their desktop browsing experience. The overrides are there for users who want to retain features like Sync.

Edit: The project aims to have the minimum amount of needed changes, but everyone will have a different opinion on what is needed. No one can please everyone, so you have to draw the line somewhere.

Perhaps Betterfox can post a poll and get feedback on how important it is for users.
Highly opinionated as I'm working for Weaviate, so take my comment with a large portion of salt.

As always depends on your use-case.

My highly opinionated view is that for Elastic, they're not really open source and the dependency on Java of the Lucene ecosystem is a big disadvantage, so as you already said, speed, they're getting better at this, but if you need to scale, this problem scales with you.

So if you already have ELK stack and don't need to scale, sure go for it otherwise, Weaviate offers real open source, so use it for free on your own infrastructure https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate
I explicitly set aside time for it, and track video games along with other things on my todo list.

This may seem counter-productive and like it might ruin the fun, but the opposite turned out to be true. Since free time is finite now (and arguably always was), it helps to get the most out of a game, prioritize which games I really want to play, and what I expect to get out of the experience.
Marxists are insane. GDP per capita in my country is $71,000. Wages are $59,500 which means all other capital gains make up $11,500. A good chunk of that is non-business capital gains (like housing) which means capital is taking under 10%. But Marxists always act like you could double your wage if not for the greedy capitalists. That’s not true, do the math.

They claim they can prevent them from being rejected with their "special sauce" which they won't reveal.

What else can this be other than washing away all of the cells and leaving behind only the scaffolding? Decellularization is already a thing for tendon xenografts.

Well the way npm solves this is having every package with its own copy of dependencies, maybe that's the way python should go, but I'm not sure if other package managers are much better than that (let's say Cargo in Rust)

No pun intended but I think there is a meta-game when it comes to being successful at a company.

The surface level is to see companies as an entity that serves customers and by doing so generates profits and so you work hard to try and help the company achieve this.

The deeper level is to see companies as a method of personal enrichment, and you optimise your behaviours for this. Some of this may overlap with the surface level, but things like EG building a bigger team than you need to justify your promotion to the next level obviously do not.
Roaring bitmaps are very interesting implementation. It's a mix of using arrays or bitsets (equivalent would be [1]) depending upon which are more efficient. I've used them in the past, and these are very effective, both for storage and for unions and intersections.

This is a good start but it's still plagued by the artificial scarcity of digital copies by limiting "checkouts".
Any goroutine can be interrupted to let another goroutine run on the respective OS thread, without the involvement of the code author. The thing managing this scheduling behind the scenes is the runtime. Also, the entire standard library is built atop non-blocking IO, which again is managed by the runtime behind the scenes (e.g. waiting for file descriptor readiness, scheduling the respectively blocked goroutine, etc). And there is no “async system call wrapper” involved - these are fundamentally different system calls (for epoll or kqueue or whatever).

You could argue that all go code is async (in the Rust sense), and because of this uniformity, there’s no need for the syntactic distinction that Rust requires you to make.

Rust could have done the same (and at one point in time they did have green threads), Rust decided that the convenience to Rust programmers wasn’t worth the cost elsewhere (the inclusion of a runtime, performance overhead, C interop, etc).

Project ideas for older Raspberry Pi models [video]
I think GPT-4 (or 3.5 if you are trying to save a few dollars) would be best. OpenAI's models are strong for summarizing text, you would just need to scrape it yourself and pass it to the API.

The API is easy to use and there are a lot of supported libraries already for whatever language you prefer: https://platform.openai.com/docs/libraries/node-js-library.

If you are lucky enough to get off the plugin waitlist, you can even use the web browsing plugin for GPT-4 and that should let you just pass in a link.

At this point, I consider a AAA rating to be a signifier of mediocrity. If something is being touted as AAA, I can be pretty sure it will be a disappointment. There are two factors that cause this: The amount of hype creates expectations that can not be met, and the cost of production is so high a studio can't afford to deliver everything they have to. The value proposition is just not there. I find that indie and mid-sized studios (like Larian) are much better at both controlling quality and managing expectations.
Critical Assembly: A Technical History of Los Alamos during the Oppenheimer Years, 1943-1945

Highly recommended for anyone with interest in Project Y and a less "dramatic" account of Oppenheimer's role. It is technical but not insanely so. Also includes brief info on the run up to Los Alamos.

That doesn't make those few wrong. (Also the number of supporters seems to be growing. Piketty's book - Capital in the 21st century - had big waves, and it argues for a wealth tax, for example.)
To be pedantic, this data doesn't say anything about the far right. For that, you would need to cite data about the far right itself (instead of red vs blue states), or lacking that try to argue correlations between far right presence in red majority in states affecting averages to whatever degree or something, though thats a quite weak argument imo.

(This is not a statement about whether far right is obsessed with fitness, I'm just saying that the data cited does not directly say anything about the question.)
