I don't know for sure, but I am under the impression that they just do one transaction each month to each charity, rather than multiple (such as whenever someone donates).

One charity that I support used to have a link on their website just for a PayPal donation, and somehow I ended up giving to them via PayPal Giving Fund instead, and they told me that PayPal Giving Fund ended up giving them 100% of the donation amount, whereas with a standard PayPal donation, some percentage was kept as a fee.

So maybe the PayPal Giving Fund delayed schedule is related to them not charging the fee?

> If most establishments are pricing water and soda "correctly", and there's a few outliers that don't, it doesn't make much sense to cite that and conclude "Capitalism truly sucks".

I think capitalism sucks, not because there is not a single place on earth where it is detrimental, but because there are plenty of places where it is. There are obviously the big offenders - the faceless megacorporations in the US and stuff like that. It's not like I'm saying it's impossible to get capitalism to work. I'm just saying that it sucks that it incentivizes stuff like this to happen, even if it doesn't happen everywhere.

and remember... "most establishments" in your area. Some people, live in different areas than you, and the relative price difference is not necessarily the same worldwide.

I don't want to repeat it again, so I hope this explanation is good enough. Just because the video isn't true for you doesn't mean it can't possibly be useful to anyone, if they happen to be in an area where water is more expensive and they're trying to figure out why.

But really, your argument just doesn't make sense to me. It feels sort of like "works on my machine", except it's "water isn't more expensive in my area". Mh.
Yeah, it goes both ways. People stay unemployed for all different types of reasons. Still not everyone that stopped working was due to age. The point is unemployment rate is not a strong or consistent indicator of economic health. Taken by itself, it doesn't tell you much about the economy. This article would have you believe it's a very good thing, but it tells you more what the publishing group wants you to think than about the economy.
But they don't know it's hopeless to try and ban mathematics? I'm not convinced.

I’ve noticed a lot of projects use riscv64 as shorthand for the rv64gc ISA, especially when it’s understood that there is an MMU, maybe an FPU, privilege levels, and any other extensions that a modern OS requires.

Anyway, I did find this on the Debian website[1]. So it seems they mean rv64gc.

> It has been interesting seeing the people who were brainwashed for the last decade waking up to see the ground truth though that Twitter isn’t real life. It’s a lot like alcohol, your problems will still be waiting for you when you sober up.

Exactly. We have not learned anything once again. Drinking a different brand of alcohol is not quitting the addiction and outrage, so replacing a social network like Twitter or migrating to another social network isn't the solution.

It is just a stop-gap temporary solution before the nastiness arrives. When more people start discovering a new platform, the outrage will inevitably manifest and continue from there, bringing in all the same problems with the added dopamine addiction.

Deleting all social media accounts for good is the proper solution.
> unrelated culture war policies

It seems pretty relevant to me. The comment was also positive, applauding this policy for actually trying to identify improvishment.

I don't see how you could describe this point as "culture war", "negative", or "flamewar". I suspect you just don't agree.

What's unfortunate about HN is that when enough people disagree, those ideas go away and others aren't aware they are even being expressed. The intent of these moderation features is to remove low quality content, but it's almost always a filter for ideology and sociability.

It's hard for me to tell if this article is being intentionally disingenuous, or if it's just missing the forest for the trees.

Take a look at this graph of college costs vs salaries for young people over time: https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/106968880-163579955995... . It's really hard to look at that graph and make the argument "No, no, expensive college costs are basically all in your head." The other thing I think is insane, which I see often, is to compare salaries of college grads vs. HS grads to make the argument that college is "worth it". But why is it a moral argument that colleges should have a right to "capture" as much of this increase in earnings as they can? After all, a huge reason for the discrepancy is that people who are inclined to go to college are more likely to get higher paying jobs in the first place. It's kinda like how I see some marketing departments that try to ascribe every single purchase to their efforts (and winning a larger budget in the process), when their "science of marketing attribution" is often a lot of hand wavy BS.

This article does make some fair points: public colleges tend to much cheaper than private ones, and most colleges give substantial grants. But even then it's leaving out some vital details (e.g. I didn't hear it mention room and board or obscene textbook prices). I think the thing that is most frustrating to me about the general college cost debate is that the thing that is most out of whack is giving giant, non-dischargeable student loans to students in non-lucrative majors. The reason lenders are willing to give hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans to someone who studies poetry is they know either the government has their back, or the student will be paying off their loan until they die - and colleges know this, too, which is why they feel so little downward pressure on pricing.
Fine with me I recently moved to KVM from Vbox. It took a few hours of paper cuts to get the first VM up and running but once done it's very easy to use. Good timing for me.
As the unemployment rate measures the percent of workers in the labor force who do not currently have a job but are actively looking for work, people that give up 'actively' looking are not considered part of the unemployment rate. On its own, the unemployment rate is a fairly useless number on its own. The rate can halve and still be bad for the economy as a whole.

How hard would it be to develop an add-on app of some sort that GPG-encrypts messages before you send them. Something like a textbox that encrypts its content, copies it to the clipboard, and then pastes it into the message app. Vice-versa on the receiving side.

It's becoming clear that if you want to keep the government and tech companies from snooping on your messages you need to take matters into your own hands.
I am very confused; so llama.cpp supports other non-llama models.. but is also based on the general-purpose ggml library?

On my first visit of many to San Francisco I tried Anchor Steam beer. Ever since then it represents the city to me just like sourdough bread.

Educating to create a researcher, vs application of applied research vs results of commercializing in less than one decade is a fair observation.

Have you not seen the "wet bulb" temperatures in the US? People are already dying from Climate change. If we "just stop oil" I don't know that I believe there's a guarantee people will starve to death.
There are reserves of oil, and I think the biggest issue is that there are a number of businesses that just need to stop relying on it.

If you would prefer, an alternative is that the (US) Gov't could
1. take over the oil companies
2. Raise the price of oil
3. Force the "Free market" that everyone's so proud of to start dealing with Oil as if there is actual scarcity for it.

If they did that tomorrow, I suspect they could stop a number of the worst polluters (businesses), and make everyone actually start working for the goal of "zero emissions".

People would hate this, and people would complain about the gov't overstepping, but the oil companies aren't going to start doing this out of the goodness of their hearts as long as they're making money hand-over-fist like they are.

Fair. But, like a lot of these things, economic home production probably also requires a fair bit of production/use. My problem was that I just wasn't drinking enough and my scoby ended up contaminated.

>downloading maps and trying to make a way to view them locally

Before smartphones this was common. Standalone gps units had maps locally stored. Some of the ones mounted in car dashboards stored them on an internal DVD. I used to have to drive a lot for work long before they were commonly built in to cars and I had an aftermarket one mounted on my dashboard, a little 2” monochrome display. Storage was tight, and I’d have to hook it up to my computer to swap out map sets if I was traveling further than usual.
Ok, so if one is guilty of transmitting or carrying illegal content merely through providing the medium of transmission, wouldn't that mean the ISPs involved, and the owners of the telephone cables, are just as guilty? Wouldn't any postman, and for example the USPS, be guilty if a private individual posted something illegal?
A jury trial of your peers is a rare thing these days. This is how it would go down:

The investigator says "who's been downloading CP?" and everyone looks at you. Probably because you're the weirdo internet geek among the family/roommates. They now have a suspect, and nothing you say then will convince them otherwise. They interview everyone separately leading the conversation to get statements about circumstantial things that out of context don't make you look good.

It's enough to get a search & data warrant. They take your phone, your PC, all your hard drives, and pull every website you've ever accessed and every email you've ever received or sent. They trawl through this for anything out of place, or which can be construed out of context to be something they can pin on you. This is no longer about CP--they "know" you are guilty, but the fact that they can't find any CP on your computer just means your smart enough to know how to hide it. Now they're just trying to find something to stick to put you away. The Al Capone nail-him-on-tax-evasion-or-whatever-sticks strategy.

You don't hear anything for a while so you think this whole thing is behind you, and you're just pissed you can't get your PC and phone back. Then they show up and arrest you. Your lawyer explains there are five felony charges against you, including the CP thing, and you're looking at 30 years to life where the survival time of a CP convict in the general population is about 3 days. The evidence is flimsy and you can fight these charges in court, but it'll cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and your success at winning all counts is really up to the whims of the judge and/or jury. The DA offers a plea deal: 3 years house arrest, community service, and registration on the sex offenders list, but critically: no prison. The weekend is coming and you're going to be shipped out from the local police lockbox to county jail. The DA is dragging his feet on getting you into protective custody. You sign the plea deal and walk out alive, but fucked for life.

Welcome to the modern criminal justice system.

> I think you are seriously underestimating or misconceptualizing how much energy that would take.

No, I am not underestimating that. Yes, it takes a prodigious amount of energy to move the earth, but hundred million years is a long time, too; and the sun gives off a lot of energy.

Today, most of the energy that the sun gives off is wasted. We are not too far off the technology needed to build a swarm of satellites that catch an appreciable fraction of that energy. (It's called a Dyson swarm.) We could sacrifice eg Mercury to get the mass for that; the sun itself will deliver the energy needed to run the fabrication process. Ideally we figure out how to build self-replicating machines. But even if the process of building the swarm takes a few million years, that's fine for our purposes.

You could use the energy to eg run a crazy amount of ion drives on our moon's surface. You'd use the moon as a gravitational tuck to very slowly move the earth.

About engineering the sun, have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw20VbX1XCc

My sketch for how to move the earth is also inspired by videos from that YouTube channel. He has all the math that I didn't put in here. He also has some videos about how to move the sun.

I have a child starting college next year. One thing that surprised me is the number of extra fees. It very much reminded me of ticketmaster, comcast, or airbnb hidden fees. Adding them all up for starting next semester the fees are over $1000. This article does say 'tuition and fees' so it's probably taking this into account. Still it surprised me and feels like a pretty scummy practice.
Well, search engines and my ability to query them aren't good enough for highly specific or poorly worded questions yet. LLMs are sometimes better in this space.
So salt combining with water takes energy, and separating it gives off energy. Yet combining happens spontaneously, and separation doesn’t. Because I don’t understand this, it seems like a paradox. What am I missing?
Couldn't agree more. You identify it as human error, and it's inevitable. Don't give up, and you will find a way to solve problems, and usually not how you suspect.
* Lower latency, especially p99 (networks can be crappy)

* User pays for the silicon and the energy used to service requests. OTOH Cook probably would love to sell you an AppleAI+ subscription…
College is expensive because there’s so much demand for their services (education is important in developed economies) coupled with the moral hazard of guaranteed loans and voila - we have the situation we have today.

It’s this simple. I don’t know why we need think pieces on this topic. Either make college a true market product (loans would change based on expected return), make it free for all (bad idea mainly), or create an economy where education isn’t needed (regressive and not practical without “make work” which is cruel).

Measuring college costs against median household wages (vs. CPI) is a much fairer way to include impacts of inflation. First off, college tuition is part of the CPI, so it's not really mathematically accurate to then discount it based on CPI increases: "College is a lot more expensive, but don't worry, everything is a lot more expensive!"

And if you look at any graph of college costs vs wages over the past 40 years or so, they have simply skyrocketed.
Do you feel the same about any technology that can help someone do their job better? Calculators, typewriters, card catalogs, tool use? What's the minimum level of technological sophistication that's acceptable to you as no being about removing jobs?

my favorite (plv8, but relevant) was working at an esri r&d center, and having corporate remind us that we needed to include esri's json format in our product offering in addition to geojson (our supported format).

I was away at a conference (jsconf, amusingly), and simply added the arcgis to geojson converter that was already written in javascript as part of another open source project we had released, and voila, we could suddenly support it in the database. one of the product engineers quickly added an additional database call to the backend, and we were all set.

simple problems, simple solutions, especially when dealing with json conversion.

If this isn't straight BS (I don't know if it is because I don't see a source for it). It's dangerous "what-about-ism" Where it looks like you're trying to say that the problem isn't climate change, but that our sun has changed. As if we didn't live for thousands of years with the current sun setup.

(I feel confident in saying that nothing major has changed about the sun in the last 2000 years because that's not the time scale these things happen on).
