The Bitcoin whitepaper. It started my curiosity in the computer security industry (employed for 5 years now) and the rabbithole of trying to understand every design decision behind the cryptosystem.
In 5 years or less we might see a massive reduction in demand for human taxi drivers. What are taxi drivers going to do? These are typically not people who are well educated and capable of making a rapid shift into another field. And what do we tell them when they choose another field to work in, only to see that field be automated away too? At some point, won't we run out of carrots to dangle in front of the displaced?
I love pydantic and use it whenever I can, but that decorator seems a bit misguided, no? It requires type hints anyway, by which point mypy would catch issues with types mismatches statically, before runtime. That would seem strictly more useful. Maybe I’m missing an aspect of what the decorator solves though.

My family (avid do-it-yourselfers, who renovated each house we lived in) used to score project size by trips to the hardware store, both proposed/planned/expected, and also actual. :P
North landing road. They had a blue vegetable stand outside, if you were familiar with the neighborhood.

I too remember covering my ears every time a jet flew overhead when I was a kid. They were loud!!

I'm more sad the navy didn't destroy the home after purchasing it because it's fallen into disrepair and there's nothing really keeping squatters out. The house and surrounding farm was designated for plane crashes many years after they purchased it.
Yeah I'm quite confused at how obsessed people are with comparing these two languages specifically. IMO it would make most sense to compare Go to C# or a JVM language. People seem to be thinking that the (good) idea of having it compile to a single executable out of the box means it's in the same class of languages as C, when it's still a managed language - it just bundles the runtime
I'll bet you $10 that the hottest 10 PM will happen after the hottest 5 AM on record.
In places like Iceland where electricity is very cheap and sunlight not very abundant, vertical farming makes sense.

It doesn't make sense everywhere but nothing makes sense everywhere.
Can someone help me understand if I missed something here. Did they negate all the hypothetical performance gains made from Rust by crippling it with JSON IPC? If so, the mental overhead of Rust memory management doesn't seem worth it.
Not more than a couple of months ago people would recommend actix. There is a lot of enthusiasm and excitement behind the language and the ecosystem reflects that, for better or worse.

what is mind blowing is how ignorant but somehow subconsciously proud (dunnig-kruger kind of way) will bully themselves into higher salaries (I've seen them repeatedly) while the good working, caring craftman will not and stagnate at lower pay.

This one is going to take a while, but I'll definitely put something out when it's done.
I mean this in a neutral way - this is basically just Marx's critique or capitalism. The part about small time investors identifying with their own perception of being a real investor is the petit bourgeois dynamic that Marx spoke of, in the era of Robinhood and 401ks. I'm confident the author knows this (and perhaps even takes it from there), and decided to leave it out, probably for a good reason.

Have Tech Layoffs Peaked?
Given our planet's population of over 8 billion humans, it's simply not viable to retain our current consumption rates, let alone increase them for those living below the prevailing standards.

Humanity's collective impact on the environment is vast and ever-growing. While technological innovation is crucial and holds a significant potential in addressing climate change, it's also essential to reevaluate and adapt our lifestyles. Our approach to problem-solving can't solely rely on future technology; we must also integrate sustainable habits into our daily lives. Even seemingly small changes, when adopted on a global scale, can lead to considerable shifts. We must consider this a cooperative effort rather than simply an individual contribution.
What do you even mean?
What we currently call "ai" is a practical application of technologies in the paradigm called "big data".

It really helps to learn a bit about the actual technologies instead of just following the hype. Yes, the hype about "big data" died down, the paradigm and the technologies around it still exist. One of these technologies was applying "deep neural networks" to "big data" datasets, which we now call "AI", which is a stupid marketing hype term. The hype about "AI" will also die down, the technology will continue.

I think Run DMC made a song about this very topic. Recommended.
More worryingly, typos to US military addresses from external address will now be routed to Mali. From Matt Levine this week:

>Millions of US military emails have been misdirected to Mali through a “typo leak” that has exposed highly sensitive information, including diplomatic documents, tax returns, passwords and the travel details of top officers.

>Despite repeated warnings over a decade, a steady flow of email traffic continues to the .ML domain, the country identifier for Mali, as a result of people mistyping .MIL, the suffix to all US military email addresses.

>The problem was first identified almost a decade ago by Johannes Zuurbier, a Dutch internet entrepreneur who has a contract to manage Mali’s country domain.

>Control of the .ML domain will revert on Monday from Zuurbier to Mali’s government, which is closely allied with Russia. When Zuurbier’s 10-year management contract expires, Malian authorities will be able to gather the misdirected emails. The Malian government did not respond to requests for comment.

>“Much of the email flow is spam and none is marked as classified,” and apparently if you work in the US military and you email someone else in the US military, the system prevents this typo. But if you are an outside contractor, or an Army officer emailing from your personal account, all bets are off. “Around a dozen people mistakenly requested recovery passwords for an intelligence community system to be sent to Mali.”
Same thing. You were close to the incident.

Let's say you just started gardening by yourself and no one has stepped on a rake yet. You're going to be in some pain.

Also, if everyone instantly learned from elders of every bad incident, we'd get nothing done because all the new people would be too scared to try anything.
It has everything to do with price, however — and, therefore, "fair price".
It kind of amazes me that our government can’t figure out who is behind this. Because it’s extremely hard to hide these kinds of things. When I last moved, there were a few toxic people in my life at the time and I didn’t want them to be able to find my new home. What I found is that it’s exceptionally difficult and expensive to keep this private. I looked at forming an LLC etc… The problem is that it eventually leaks out somehow.

I have a lawyer friend who confirmed this from their own experience. They told us about a sibling who is a high profile senior exec at well known public company. This person tried to hide their home purchase for privacy and safety reasons. They had the resources to do this, spent a ton of money, and ultimately failed. You can easily Google their address.

The last month I've thought about this clip at least twice a week.

Considering how well someone survives the coming decades depends on how wealthy they are (more than in the past), it makes sense. It is a little callous of them, but sometimes survival and being nice are at odds.

Insider Trading is just fine.
Would you consider a parental relationship to be transactional? There is a huge potential for the relationship to be negative - a child with special needs / medical bills, a child with views so different from yours it causes a huge rift, etc.

What positive return is guaranteed that makes these relationships beneficial? There are plenty of living beings who yeet their young out to live on their own from the start. Or is every parent either throwing away their time/money/effort on a losing transaction?

Is it a gamble for those who are poor, that their children will take care of them? What does that mean for rich people and their children? For extremely wealthy people, who can buy everything they ever need/want, is it solely a gamble that your child will want to spend time with you?
Ask HN: Could you share your photography blog here?
This is inspired by this post a couple of weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081

I discovered a lot of amazing personal blogs reading through the comments in that post. I'd love to see the same thing, but with photography-specific blogs.

I'll go first. My photos live at andrewbridges.org I tend to post 3-5 photos once a week as part of a weekly analog photo challenge.
The jury is definitely still out on whether that content is actually worthless inventory to advertisers.

Shit tier websites with "quality" ads (ie something I want to click on more) can be very valuable to advertisers.

This fight needs to be fought by search, not ad tech. Ad tech has too many perverse incentives.
In some ways you get to know your coworkers better. You see their partners, kids, cats, dogs - the stuff that helps make people more relatable.
I keep hearing this sentiment on HN and IRL. As a journalist I think it misses the mark somewhat by failing to account for the value of reporting.

While some news can be generated exclusively from scraping Reddit threads or whatever, most decent journalism incorporates some form of reporting, i.e. the generation of novel information from trusted sources. Even without reporting, if you can't add to the store of knowledge in the world by writing the article, it doesn't offer any value to consumers or advertisers. That includes the the world of SEO spam. An effort has to be made to distinguish your work from the competition, or else your site isn't winning those top results.

Reddit threads are often just full of emotional responses to news already generated in this way. At some point along the line, a human has gone out and spoken to another human, forming an novel angle or argument, pursuing a line of inquiry, connected dots no one else has yet etc. That's news, not a summary of existing attitudes.
There was one for a while though wasn't really targeted at users:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaOS
> About a quarter of all single-family homes in the US are owned by investors:

I don't see that mentioned anywhere in the article.

I see "Last year, investor purchases accounted for 22% of American homes sold. This is significantly down from the 80% number in 2020-2021,"

Also, that "80%" number appears to be a mistake that doesn't match the cited source.
https://www.redfin.com/news/investor-home-purchases-q3-2021/

It appears to me a misstatemenr of "investor purchasing of single-family homes increased over 80%." which is just silliness comparing the covid dip to the post-covid recovery back to normal.

The billtrack50 article is so incoherent and self-contradictory that it's not worth trying to make sense of it.

There’s a huge difference between surface temperature directly in the sun and not. The air temperatures in weather reports are measured in the shade. The summer sun can literally cook eggs in some hotter regions.
I think you misunderstand the purpose of statecraft and adversarial relationships. The point is to gain and maintain a strategic advantage, not to be maximally fair. We want to have capabilities and exert a level of control and influence that Russia is not also able to exert. When we try to prevent China from controlling popular media narratives, it's not a gotcha to say "ha, but the US does that, too." Yes, that is the entire point. We're trying to win, not to play fair. Which is also what they're trying to do.
Yes, except imagine your ticking time bomb set to go off 40 years before everyone else’s.
Step 1. Optimize hardware. Sleep, exercise, reduce stress.

Step 2. Optimize software. Your brain is a neural network that needs reinforcement learning to learn anything. Be open minded, adopt a mental framework of picking up new things and doing them, iteratively figuring things out. You need to leverage the hedonistic aspects of your human brain - i.e you need to get some "reward" from doing activities that improve you knowledge, which mean you have to tailor your activities towards that. For example, if you want to get good at circuits, you should aim to build widgets that improve your life somehow, instead of random hobby projects.

Thats pretty much it. The issue that most people have is you often have to have the first part of step 2 to do step 1, and if you don't do step 1, you lack the capability to execute step 2. How to break the loop is different for every person, but psychedelics seem to be of good use.
If they write up a policy to that effect, and you agree to it, why not?

That's what immediately sprang to mind when wk_end mentioned slogging. I was never a serious player, but played through it a number of times and that was always my least favorite section. So repetitive, and the river maps often included long sections of back-tracking if you got unlucky with the procedural generation.
Your gut reaction is disgust and I don't blame you. You could do without the insults, however. The "nation's banking infrastructure" is outdated and messy. There is no chance in the entire world to upgrade it or clean it up if we the workers are not equipped with the power to do so. A first step could be informational transparency, I would for example really like read access on other systems in the bank and not just my own. Truthfully, separation of duties in this case is more of a controlling function and less of a security function. Of course I care about security, we all do. But let's not stifle the workers that can change the system from within in such low risk work that it's bordering on fear of change. Don't insult me again on something you know nothing about and haven't seen with your own eyes.

A good friend of mine made a leak checker from scrap parts while I was working at a university lab. It was just for a UHV system (no cryo). I wish I still worked with him.

The whizz sound leak checkers make is good fun.
Seems like a path to fingerprinting users for tracking purposes and a potential vector for data leaks
I took a lot of probability and statistics in college (I was a Math major); I tend to assume that very few people using statistics understand what they are doing well enough to avoid serious mistakes. True story: for one class project, I was directed to find a published paper, acquire the same data set, and verify the results. I contacted the author and got his actual data, ran the model (ordinary least squares) and verified the result; then I checked for heteroskedasticity, found it, corrected for it, and determined that the correction made all of his results go away. His model was completely inconclusive. (The author was a university professor in economics; the paper was based on his doctoral dissertation.)
I guess the difference is grinding against a challenge and grinding against RNG
Because TLDs are supposed to mean things.
It's possible to study human behaviour without framing everything in terms of economics. You'll often be more successful that way, in fact.
That's the old pre-AI tools. They just thesaurus substitute.
I'd be interested to see some stats on that. I wouldn't think that alternative to CC is the primary form of online transactions in any country, unless you're excluding debit cards from that category. At least not yet. And, just like everywhere else, there are countless payment methods that are not run through Visa/Mastercard in the US. Zelle, ACH, Direct transfer, etc.

Isn't that more a feature of the community than the game itself, though? You're always free to experiment and roll your own builds. That's what I'm doing with Diablo 4 and I'm having a blast. I don't care if I push the highest nightmare dungeon or even reach max level. I just want to see what I can do with a build that I come up with out of my own head.

Similar here (varies by state). Switching from an active policy to a new policy is usually easy. Gaps in coverage, especially when a policy was canceled for cause, can be a problem.

CA and FL have their own problems due to local weather/climate (fires, hurricanes) and insurance regulations. Insurers are jacking up rates in FL and leaving that market. I'm not as familiar with CA, but it sounds like they're doing the same there.
> huge penalty

I think it's more like, a few people get the (dubious) bonus of speaking the lingua franca as their mother tongue. (The downside being they almost inevitably only speak the one language).

Calling it an advantage is more correct, as, if US/UK folks disappeared over night, it would still make sense for everyone to learn a shared language for commerce/science/whatever.
Also, it doesn't kill you but will make you an burden to all of your loved ones.
Weird article. The way it vilifies what this site does -- aggregating and summarizing social media activity -- but then does exactly the same thing is hilarious irony, and perfectly encapsulates the anti-AI contradiction.

Similarly, it celebrates that some random site published wrong information, when the cause was a subreddit publishing wrong information. e.g. Some rando happening into that sub would be just as misled.

All in all, very silly.
This supplement stack + oxygen + verapamil + magic mushrooms has turned clusters into almost a non issue for me. I went through several years of being too broke to really address them, and too pig headed to think something as simple as vitamin D would help. But my last set of clusters was a walk in the park compared to the ones before it.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210119212133/https://vitamindw...

If you decide to try Verapamil make sure you get the extended release pills. I don’t have the link handy but you can find research journal articles that help nail down dosage. As for the oxygen, you may have to get your own regulator and mask to get what you need. 15lpm and a rebreather mask works amazingly for me. If your doctor is difficult about it just get them to write a script for oxygen, find a local supplier and pay out of pocket. It was only $80 to rent the tanks I needed to get me through my last cluster season.

A couple of home remedies I’ve tested and found effective were cardio and putting my feet in some super hot water. Both sound silly but seem to work in my experience. So if you don’t have the other stuff yet, or aren’t able to get to it in time, give either a try. I do burpees as soon as I feel one coming one (and after I’ve chugged a 5 hour energy).

The last and most effective solution is LSD or Magic mushrooms. If you micro dose then periodically you can go a lot longer between cluster headaches. A tiny bit of mushroom also seems to work as an abortive for me when I feel one coming on.

I’m still experimenting and learning. But hopefully this info may give you some things to research or try (assuming you haven’t already, but I’d much rather share this information repetitively then not share something that could help you).

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat. Always down to provide research I’ve found out just lend an ear, I know how debilitating and isolating they can be.
This is nothing new for insurance. Aerial imagery has been in use for decades to address different perils. At least this homeowner had someone take a look before they were denied coverage. Most insurance companies will just write off whole zipcodes as 'lost' due to wildfire risk rather than get into this granular a level of detail.

The issue California faces isn't a technical one. Its a social/ behavior issue. Californians will need to change their behavior with regards to how they manage their personal property or the risk will continue to be too high for insurance companies to bear. These properties aren't struggling to get insurance because suddenly we have aerial imagery; they are struggling because the data regarding wildfire risk has become impeccably clear.

Individual actions can make an impact to their individual and community wildfire risk, but fundamentally wildfire risk is a network phenomena. It has to happen at scale. If a homeowner isn't willing to deal with debris piles on their property they are putting themselves and their community at risk. Should they get insurance?
And here's a little extra for those that are about to walk away thinking a meaningful record was set:

1. "But before we get ahead of ourselves, it hasn’t quite been confirmed yet. These claims of record-breaking heat are based on preliminary readings that will soon be subject to further analysis."

2. "That being said, it’s also important to remember that statistics on maximum nighttime temperature simply aren’t kept, and hourly temperature data has only been kept for about a decade or so. The record may still stand, but it also may not have much to be compared to."
