"Furthermore, Meta's conditions permit data from users to be shared with third parties."

When I worked at Transit App, I built a backend pre-processing pipeline to compress transit and osm data in python [1] and also another pipeline to process transit map data in python [2]. Since the Ops people complained about how long it took to compress the transit feeds (I think London took 10h each time something changed), I migrated everything to Pypy. Back then that was a bit annoying cuz it meant I had to remove numpy as a requirement, but other than that there were few issues. Also it meant we were stuck on 2.7 for quite a while, so long that I hadnt prepared a possible migration to 3.x. The migration happened after I left. Afaik they still use pypy.

Python is fun to work with (except classes…), but its just sooo slow. Pypy can be a life saver.

And the week/day pricing seems like a good idea as well.

I suppose it works best if your clients mostly have "more than a week long projects", though.

Otherwise, they would have to pay your increased daily rate most of the time, which would make you above market.

When I think about this for myself, I think my only chance to close weekly deals with some clients would be to discount my weekly rate instead of increasing my daily rate, which is not ideal.

In fact no, Python 3.10 is OK new enough.

There is still the lag though, Python 3.10 was out for quite a while before PyPy supported 3.10.

> They do many things, but the ones I want to avoid the most are their mechanisms of control in the global economy. The fact they can lock your bank account and deny you access to global trade because you said something or did something they don't approve of is utterly unacceptable and this alone is enough for me to aim for their destruction.

How exactly do cryptocurrencies prevent this?
Agreed. I actually thought about it a lot lately mostly because I occasionally sell stuff on Ebay and the fees make me extra annoyed each time. Running a big enough market itself is a difficult task ( and if you want to sell in the entire US, this is effectively what you do ). Add to this taxes, refunds, fraud mitigation and all of a sudden you realize it is a big ask.

Still, I keep thinking about it, because I am sure it can be done in a way that does not make me want to start a new online marketplace each time..
Well, there could also be the effect that the Aus government sees this happening and thinks “ay this seems to work”. We know these governments can barely operate a calculator so they’re probably not over here on HN reading about how bad their ideas are. Scary stuff.
Why wouldn't government websites use it? Of all the websites I would want using WEI, banks and government services are pretty high up the list. It's not like government websites run ads or whatever (as far as I know). I wouldn't want things fucking with my bank accounts and I would opt-in in a heartbeat.

I’ve been looking at all the jobs in my local area for a little while now.

Despite a lot of construction, I have seen very few “hiring” signifiers anywhere. A few management and PM roles get posted, usually wanting people with long established experience, but not many labor jobs.

There’s a big construction project that’s been going on right next to me for a while. When I go past it, there’s a lot of yellow tape, and signs warning that it’s a felony to steal from the site, but no “we’re hiring” signs.

Most of the jobs I see are bottom tier retail or restaurants positions, call center positions, some logistics jobs, various sales, medical jobs, and management. I do see some electrician work, but usually not in construction.

So uh, where are these jobs?

Super funny, I went through the same swing.

I was able to eventually cool off on technical burn out as a manager and went back to working on some personal projects. Eventually though, sitting in meetings all day for 12+ months had the same mental effect and I lost motivation and burn out increased. I'm back as an IC now and balancing my time better.

I think the better solution may be to find a way to pace yourself at work so you aren't slinging code for 8 hours. It's unlikely many of your coworkers are doing the same. I think it's important to find a sustainable pace at work and to just say no to the rest. Hopefully your company supports that.

A nice feature of using the speed-of-sound as a measurement unit is that people know how difficult it is for aircraft to achieve it. So it makes it clear how much faster these things are going. We don’t have anything comparable between the speed-of-sound and the speed-of-light, do we? I suppose you could use escape-velocity, that isn’t something as many people know, but does I guess get you closer to the speeds in question.

At last, an examination of the true nature of 'edge' computing is presented. Despite the appealing promises made by posts from Fly.io and others that depict 'edge' computing as a simple success, the reality can be more complex.

I have recently spent a fair bit of time experimenting with this on Fly for my application (https://www.ssrfproxy.com). It's hard to beat the straightforwardness of deploying in a single region, with the database in close proximity. This approach probably to meets the needs of what 99% of developers require.

The counter argument is that the civil engineers didn’t consult with the beavers on where to build their roads either.

If psychotherapy is not a myth, what is the exact mechanism that therapy fixes an issue? If it were science that answer would be readily apparent. I can say exactly how photosynthesis works using chemical structures at every step of the process. But I can’t look up in a book how precisely psychotherapy fixes depression. Psychology has a dearth of actual repeatable testable experiments, which is why it’s not a science.

If so many people lack parenting that gives them the skills to tough it out and deal with it, that psychotherapy is necessary, why were so many people able to function prior to psychotherapy? Psychotherapy is only 100 years old, hell it’s only been socially acceptable for like 20 years. But people functioned just fine.
Kind of tangential, but I've been watching a lot of original Star Trek recently, so I was curious about how far this was in lightyears, probably because of the Enterprise's proclivity to run in to Voyager.

If it's 15 billion miles away (sorry for my Freedom Units), it is 22 light-hours away, or 0.0026 light years away (unless my Google-fu is way off). If we could move at the speed of light, which we can't, it would still take nearly a day to get there. So if we were on the Enterprise moving at Warp 1, it would take a day to get there and reorient it back towards Earth. If we could move at Warp 10, we'd have already been there and fixed it.

Just because something doesn’t require it doesn’t mean it’s a right.
Untrue, strictly speaking. So long as the combination of your transmitter's power and your antenna's directionality (aka 'gain') provide enough extra dB's of signal strength (to compensate for the dB's "lost" on Voyager's end, due to the off-axis antenna) it'll work fine.

OTOH, dB's are effectively a log scale, and NASA's "not good enough now" transmitter & antenna cost quite a few $million. What's your budget?

(Yeah - if the Arecibo radio telescope was still on operation, it might well have been capable of doing this.)
YouTube kids has content that makes those weird videos seem tame, like the hyperconsumerist ryanworld.

Curate your content manually, and select by hand what your kids will watch, or don't let them online at all. Since most parents are not willing, or most likely not even capable of doing this, legislation needs to be put in place to restrict what content can be shown to children.
I loved that aspect of it - it's becoming more and more true as we build more and more frameworks/abstractions. Once we got to Kubernetes and some of the modern web frameworks, the notion of "Programmer-at-Arms", the one-in-thousands master developer who'd actually dig into the depths of these abstractions, made perfect sense!

> What are good examples of their “disbenefits”?

Overwhelmingly unaddressed externalities.
I've used it at work to speed up some standard Python code (without any c-bound library usage). It sped up the code by 5 times.

I've deployed used the pypy:3.9 image on docker.

One thing I did notice is that it was significantly faster on my local machine vs when I tried to deploy it using an AWS lambda/fargate. I know this is because of virtualization/virtual-cpu, but there was not much I could do to improve it.
Exactly. I wear all-synthetic when I run or hike, because cotton will get damp and heavy and uncomfortable (potentially unsafe when hiking). I throw it in a hamper with a lid - separate from my regular one - when I'm done, and I do laundry a couple of times a week. I have shirts and smalls that I've been using nine years without a problem under this regime. One key, I think, is that I use a "color booster" (bleach alternative) specifically to eliminate the poly funk.

Doing a load of laundry for a single set of workout clothes is horrible environmentally. Even when our kid was young, it was every other day at most, and I was running more than that at the time.
I'm building a bot detector api to use with our CDN and using pypy was decided on day one, without pypy the performance is just not there.

Also in my day job we use pypy in all our python deployments, to be fair until now I thought that everybody would develop in python, test in pypy for an easy speed boost and only got back to python if pypy was slower than cpython
I'm not OP/submitter, but the main differentiator is that Lambda doesn't have on-demand availability for lots of interlinked H100s - you have to reserve them.

Lambda has "Lambda Sprint" which is kinda similar,[1] but Sprint is $4.85/GPU/hr instead of <$2.

So if you want 128 GPUs for a week, you can't use Lambda reserved (3 year term), you can't use Lambda on-demand (can't get 128 A/H100s on-demand), your options are Lambda Sprint or SF Compute, and SF Compute is offering significantly lower prices.

In the U.S., most rights are not explicitly enumerated. People are assumed to have all conceivable rights, and the restrictions must be explicitly enumerated. There is no law against lying in general.

There is, however, an explicitly enumerated right to freedom of speech. There are only a handful of recognized categories of non-protected speech. Lying isn't one of them.
Anecdotally having been on the road at the time, there didn't seem to be a correlation between price and whether they had it or not.

And often the 1½-star motel would just have a single AP in the office serving the whole horseshoe of rooms directly, while the big fancy hotel would need several APs per floor which made it a vastly more expensive and complicated deployment. If the cheap one was acting weird, the desk clerk could just power cycle it and most issues were resolved moments after one phone call. But everybody at the big hotels was afraid to touch it (probably had been instructed not to), and resolving problems took hours or days.

For the record I believe I agree with you. However I view it as governments are the failure point in the issues you list, not markets. They have outright failed to address the negative externalities as they have been captured by private interests. In my opinion the entire financial system is captured and the regulations they tend to introduce are simply to allow the corrupt private entities further control.

One neat part of anonymous online prediction markets using unregulated digital currencies is how they exist outside this crony capitalist system.

It’s not markets to blame. It’s bad government!

> What do these prediction markets produce? Some people are saying "yes" and others are saying "no", and the answer is either "yes" or "no", but why bother spending money on predicting when society can spend money on replicating it? Wouldn't an actual replication attempt be more useful?

They are producing predictions of future value. It's not clear when you're only considering a single case, but what if you only have enough money to fund two projects and you have 15 applicants? You could pay a panel of experts to evaluate them and now you can only fund one project, or you can exploit the prediction market and fund the projects that seem to have the best chance of success according to the crowd. So in effect, the crowd is funding projects by freeing up funds that would otherwise go towards bureaucracy.

The wisdom of the crowds works given a large and diverse sample of independent predictors. People who don't know anything will vote randomly so their votes effectively cancel each other out, but people who know more about a particular topic will be biased towards correct answers.
The UK has already done this for a decade and it's completely ineffectual.
Agreed. Stock markets are very similar to prediction markets. They are priced based on future projections, technical feasibility and probability of achieving certain milestone, ability to reach market first, internal and external factors, etc. I don't see much difference between a prediction market and a stock market. Theoretically, we could allow both of them and treat them similar. But one major risk I see is that big players can influence it with big money and distort the reality. It becomes a casino, just like the current wall street. Right now, most of the participants in prediction markets are likely knowledgeable in the subject area, or even subject matter experts and it's probably better to leave it that way.
And, of course, cannot fail--only be failed.
