> here in Europe

got it. so here in the US, the overachieving immigrant stereotype is an assumption that is waning in popularity, specifically because it further marginalizes all the immigrants that are not overachievers and do not have the cultural or socioeconomic support system, while other residents assume those immigrants don't need support simply by factor of looking similar to another immigrant.

the phrasing is important. its fine to admire that there is a frequency of visible acceptance and elevation into high level positions. your words say you don't realize how rare that is.

There are three videos, 2 by HUST, one by USTC.

The USTC sample could stand up on its pointy side, and wobble a bit. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ex4y1X7ix/

From my limited understanding this excludes ferromagnetism.

Update: a fouth video just got uploaded. https://www.zhihu.com/zvideo/1669820225079070720 . A relatively big sample showing diamagnetism, but author says resistance is few kilo ohms

Capacitors are fairly good at keeping charge - there isn't much loss over time. In fact, capacitors used in high voltage equipment should generally have a discharge resistor wired across them to deliberately discharge them slowly, to prevent them being a hazard to anyone repairing the equipment.

Superconductors don't help with this (much - just maybe with the wires leading up to a capacitor). Superconductors allow much better inductors instead. You can also store energy in an inductor, but it's different because in a capacitor the charge stays put and in an inductor the current is constantly flowing.
The satellite was built with only a 3 year operational lifetime? Is that common??
AIUI, what you're missing is that it's an iterative process. Energy comes together and forms a hair more matter than antimatter, and the rest returns to energy. But this wasn't an "exactly one chance" situation; the energy gets a fresh chance to come together and a bit more of it is matter than antimatter, with the rest going back to energy... and so on and so on.

If it was perfectly balanced, no amount of iteration would produce matter, but even slight imbalances end up tipping the scale greatly over a lot of iterations.

(And of course it was all just a big mess of things, not a clean series of events like my words imply. But that's the idea.)

It was funny, but it took me a second.

You're not on Uber because of all the other users. Heck, you're not really there because of most the drivers, you're only there because there are enough drivers such that requesting a ride won't be a hassle. It's quite different from Facebook (I think WhatsApp in Europe is a better example these days) where you just expect everyone, including somebody you just met, to be.

> And the drivers use Uber because it has the riders.

You make it sound exclusive, but I've seen many drivers use a few different apps at the same time, often with different phones. You just need some temporary incentives and you've bootstrapped your network, because as explained above, the problem is only the initial bootstrapping.

Concrete example: two months ago I hadn't heard of "Free Now". I've now used it twice in two different European countries, last time because Uber was exactly four times as expensive (maybe that explains their new profits? They just raised their prices, hoping users won't notice?). I'm not often in a taxi so this is just anecdotal, but there's very little friction when switching to another service.
Thank god the taxis haven't all been driven out of business. I still find it much easier to grab a taxi out of most decently sized airports and train stations than to futz around on my phone, worry about battery, type in my destination, etc. In Manhattan it's still very possible to just grab a taxi without any kind of advance planning, and again it's way easier than having to mess around on my phone.

That said, Uber/Lyft have made it impossible to get taxis at smaller airports and train stations in mid-sized cities, which I find super frustrating. There are never any taxis waiting at the Providence Amtrak station, for example.

Either it's employers who got tired of people not even knowing the basics of git (which would be common to any dvcs) and weren't productive as a result.

Or it's folks that think the base set of linux tools are the be-all-end-all of programming. ("Why use Dropbox when I can rsync", "Use the ext4 filesystem as a database and store metadata in inodes and use git for MVCC", "I will do sed | awk | cut | xargs find | tr instead of a 10 line python script").

Or it's folks that cult-follow one of the two groups above.
It's a multi-faceted issue. One of which is raw cost (the cash required to birth and raise a child). Another is opportunity cost: even if you have the money for a child, taking time off to raise it is ruinous to your career (usually women's careers). If you decide to leave your job to take care of a child, it takes YEARS to get back to your income level or career stage, if you ever do.

Women who have a dream career they went to school and studied for essentially are being forced to choose between career and motherhood. In modern society, choosing to abandon your career and raise children is seen as anti-feminist; like your efforts up to this point have been for nothing.

But the article chooses to focus on a third explanation, which is delayed adulthood, in which Gen Z are achieving typical adult milestones at later ages (driving a car, having sex, getting married, moving out, having children). Gen Z has the longest adolescence of any generation thus far.

Anecdotally, most Gen Z I interact with seem completely helpless. They rely on their parents for everything. They can't drive a car, they don't get summer jobs, and they can't seem to figure out any of their own problems. One neighbor has a 20 year old son who mistakenly took an Uber to work on one of his days off (thinking he was supposed to work that day). When he learned of his mistake, he called his mom (who lives 45mins away by car, and was at the time disabled due to a knee injury) and asked her to drive him back to his apartment (which was maybe 10mins away by car from where he worked), rather than figuring it out for himself

What about your paternal instincts/need to progenate?

I'm gen z as well and I definitely want to be a father one day because to me, it is instinctual - something I need to do for fulfilment.

I'm always on the position that at some point (i make no prediction of when) "AI" will still be labeled as not-intelligent, but to external observers it won't be possible to know.

Ie we will be able to describe how a function of `add(1,2)` is most clearly definitely not intelligent. We will understand the internal makeup of these neurons better, the whole system will be deterministic and understood - just a very large `add(1,2)` .. so it's definitely not intelligent, of course.

Yet it will still produce output that is fully and truly turing-proof. If you let it run, it retains, stores, "behaves", etc. It's clearly just `add(1,2)` in a loop after all.. we will understand it so well that it's obviously just a trick of our mind that it seems real.

The conclusion in that space will not be one of the machine .. but of us. If we can't tell it apart from us.. and if we know it is most definitely not alive or even mysterious.. what does that say about us? The existential crisis will be neat.
Huh, is that true? If you push a new version of a tag, Github will ignore it? Or if you 'git fetch', git does not update tags? I would be pretty surprised at either of those.

I think the Nissan case is a bit of an exception and if anything demonstrates how reluctant the Japanese are to have major Japanese multinationals run by someone not Japanese.

That's not a good analogy. Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are just different names for the exact same thing. A better analogy would be different wine grape cultivars, e.g. Chardonnay and Cabernet are the same species of grape, but obviously have quite different taste and features.

While hemp and marijuana are the same species, there is a legal definition that is based on a real, scientific difference. Namely, that hemp is a low-THC cultivar of cannabis sativa.
> It says fairly clearly in the infobox, "Jensen Huang (表舅 or first cousin once removed)"

It was already there, but depending where you're from, "first cousin once removed" might not mean anything to you, especially if English is not your mother tongue. Seeing a family tree makes it clear for everyone regardless of language or culture what the relationship is.
It depends what you're aiming for. For accuracy, map and filter make it impossible to fall off the bounds of your iteration. While it would certainly be nice if the runtime could do that faster, slow + correct is often (not always) better than fast + broken.

(There are languages that make fast + correct easier. Unfortunately, JavaScript isn't really one of them).
Well, here's the thing... you're not wrong. You're actually 100%... scratch that, 120% correct!

Software shouldn't really be a constant struggle. It shouldn't be about constantly forcing square objects into tiny round roles.

However, when you're an experienced developer that's easy to see. Sometimes even when you're inexperienced it's also easy... But when you're upper management, and a developer says "we shouldn't do that in Sharepoint" while Microsoft is telling them "this is 100% possible in Sharepoint" and the Microsoft approved consultancy says "this is extremely easy in Sharepoint", the developer ends up looking bad! :(

> "easy to use once you figure out this hard thing" is another way of saying hard.

You are conflating difficulty in learning with difficulty to use. Not the same. Rust borrow checker complains for a reason. Once you understand what that reason is (i.e after learning the hard part), Rust becomes just another tool assisting you in writing memory-safe programs.

> Some people look at those rants as toxic, and I understand that, but there is also value in expressing and seeing people's true feelings.

Would it be so hard to express the problems without personally attacking everyone else out there? You can expect to be socially isolated if you do this in the real world. Despite that, people behave as if it is acceptable if it's online.

How might a Language Server Protocol (LSP) work for debugging? And predictive debugging in particular? Any examples you've seen? Do LSPs have a mechanism by which debugging could work? (I haven't researched this yet.)

Note: I ask the above questions in an attempt to move the conversation towards predictive debugging. Like many, I visited this thread because I'm interested in the core topic: debugging. We're probably not here for a general discussion about the pros and cons of JetBrains / non open-source software / IDEs.
The US are a younger country and it's full of immigrants/children of immigrants.

Most of the money here is old money. There are dozens of implicit rules. In France having a teacher as a parent is a better indicator of whether you'll get into a top school than being rich. Because you have to know all the tricks in the book to get anywhere. From my POV getting into Ivy League seems as simple as getting a high SAT, applying, getting approved for a loan. In France, most immigrants kids don't even know the possible paths to get into a top school.

Also yes, salary plays a big role, if you're part of the top 1% of your country intellectual elite, I'd bet you'd rather cross an ocean for 6 figures than for 2000 euros a month and free healthcare.
Sounds like free market is working. The drivers get to pick the gigs they want. Now solution for Uber would be to allow drivers to negotiate higher price. Be it double or 10x. Allowing riders to get service and drivers to act as free agents.

I'm not sure why you're so keen on "proving" that I'm "turning" people into racists. You have a fixed conclusion that you have already made, and are grasping at straws to reach that conclusion. Really bringing down the conversation for everybody here.

For what it's worth, I mostly just stare out the window in taxis/uber drives.
I think a major difference, at least to my country, Germany, is that in the US the university you graduate from has an outsized influence on your career potential, especially when it comes to senior positions at large companies. On the contrary, here in Germany these positions are usually filled through either familial connections or company-internal mentorships. Board members and C-suite often have been with the company for at least 20 years.

One other difference is that all the major companies in Germany are very old, and around half of them are either privately owned, or state companies. BionTech, the last company to really rise to the major players was actually founded and is being led by immigrants.
Continuous processing may be putting undue weight on accidental features of humans to be a necessary feature. Consider that a conscious mind can't represent the gaps in its processing, and so has an appearance of continuity. But this appearance probably doesn't map onto a continuous reality. An example is anesthesia patients that report a seemingly uninterrupted time from counting down pre-surgery to waking up. So interruptions, gaps, discontinuities, and so on don't necessarily eliminate the possibility for consciousness. It may be the case that LLMs are conscious when they are engaged in active inference.

While I generally favor a requirement for recurrent processing, I have low but non-zero credence for certain feedforward networks being conscious. The point of recurrence is to allow information about itself to influence its processing. But It seems plausible that feedforward constructs can represent meta-information in a way that is computed as part of constructing the output.
The enterprising Indian and Chinese citizen should know that it could be basically decades to immigrate to the US, so they're choosing anywhere else as a better substitute (or finding loopholes like gaining citizenship in other nations that don't have as long a waiting list?). Based on the current economic regime, it could be decades before candidates are granted permanent citizenship.
Knowing what to process in memory, what to delegate to the database, to the datawarehouses, or other heavyweight data-processing engines like Spark, is its own subfield, data engineering.

Finding data engineers that can actually do it will become difficult in just a bit, as there's a goldrush to take on that role, and lots of people want in with some rudimentary knowledge of SQL and Python.

Anyway, I'm always suspicious of people advocating for stored procedures, because those are version controlled if you're lucky, and I've yet to see them subject to automated testing.
> immigrants to the US always ended up in high level positions

this is a myth. even if you just look at asian immigrant groups alone, many groups do very poorly economically - the burmese, hmongs, nepalis etc are all poorer than the average american. in fact, i think the only asian ethnicity that is over-represented in business leadership are not the chinese nor the japanese but the indians, and i don't even think that's true specifically for first-generation or even second-generation americans of indian origin.

That may eventually be the process.

It is pretty peak HN to assume the world is only the US. Outside the US there are plenty of taxi apps. So, yes, we know from evidence that they are easy to build. The trick is getting customers and drivers for your app.

That’s pretty much exactly what I was expecting. People think of police as racist thugs because, well… they are.
> One thing you and the OP are not accounting for is social status and flexibility.

I did account for that. I said that I think it is time for a "cultural shift." That social status and flexibility element exists because of cultural attitudes and assumptions as to the value of a degree.

> Also choosing to forsake a degree just plain blocks off a lot of paths.

Not to get too philosophical, but every single decision you ever make in your entire life is going to "block off paths." If I eat pizza tonight, I am working against my weight management goals. If I dedicate my time and my life to learning to code, I am not using that time to learn medicine.

If you decide you want to go down a new path, then of course starting from scratch is going to take longer. But that is true of literally any endeavour. To me it does not make any sense to start putting in the time, money and energy into a venture in order to get yourself a "head start" down a path that you may never choose to walk down. Life is way too short to make that kind of a gamble unless you KNOW that there is an excellent chance you may want to pursue that. If you think that right now, at this stage in life, there is a 10% chance that you might want to pursue a profession that requires a degree at some point in the future, why invest 4 years of your life and an entire house worth of future income? If, however, there is a 60% chance ... then the value prospect looks quite different.

As someone else said, it is a lot to ask of a 17, 18, 19 year-old to make these kinds of major life decisions. But I think that's an argument in favour of a culture shift. If you choose to spend 4 years and a ton of money you don't have pursuing a particular education path, that is time and money that you will never get back. Only the individual can decide if that was time and money well invested.

So, what if you want to switch from landscaper to doctor? Well, what if you invest 10 years and a ridiculous amount of money into becoming a doctor only to realize that you hate it, made a mistake but need to figure out how to pay off $200k in student debt before you can even begin to entertain a career change? That's one hell of a "blocking off paths" scenario as well. Crippling debt and an unused piece of paper to show for it can be devastating in terms of closed doors. Imagine what you could accomplish in your mid 20's if you're debt free and are pursuing your passions regardless of how other people think you should be living your life?

Who knew that major life decisions could be so complicated?
tell me more. there are days when IT ain't fun and I miss the ocean...
Not if you're monitoring your systems. True engineering means you have a feedback loop into your process. Otherwise you're 'just a programmer'.... :)

You should have Telegraph running on every system you have collecting stats and sending it to InfluxDb with sample rate around 15s and +- 5s of jitter.

Each critical process should have an uptime counter. You should create both Deadman alerts (No contact for 5m) and Uptime alerts (uptime falls below 60s).

s/Telgraf|InfluxDb/YourMonitoringSystemOfChoice/

Bonus: If you're running JVMs, you can expose _all_ of the JVMs stats to Telegraf via Jolokia, which can run as a Java Agent and requires 0 code changes. The JVM has very very detailed stats about it's health available by default, making problems very visible (if you look for them).
For 2 m^3 of the material you will need around 1 metric ton of cement. You need around 2.8 GJ to produce 1 t of cement.

Therefore you need 63 GJ or 17500 kWh to produce a capacitor of 45 m^3 that can hold 10 kWh. (Omitting the 3% carbon in the mixture obv.) I hope the thing is really resistant and cycles forever without degradation.

BTW cement production contributes substantial amounts to global carbon emissions.
