> Why have society's productivity gains not gone into reducing the time we spend working? Why do we seem to have ever-less free time?

There are per-employee overheads (training comes to mind, probably tax & conditions law too). That means the economically optimum equilibrium is still to concentrate knowledge into select employees and have them work hard. Imagine that to achieve a certain outcome we can do it with, say, either need X people working Y hours or 10X people working Y/10 hours. Of the two, X people is usually a much better choice for employers because it reduces the per-employee overheads.

People also seem to misjudge their own preferences. Many might say that they'd like shorter days, but when tested they usually prefer to work more and have more stuff. Employees would like to work less hours in principle, but if you offer them more hours + more pay they take that deal.

In short, in practice, employers and employees both seem to prefer it when people work long days. If employees get more productive, both side of the bargaining table tend to negotiate for hours to stay at about the limit of what workers are physically capable of.
The premium paid by many foreign students is well above what the average American is paying. Price discrimination by US schools is designed to maximize what they can extract and they are very skilled at it.

It’s a complicated topic with plenty of ambiguity, but on net the US is economically better off with these students. You can argue about past funding for these institutions, but at worst the net subsidy is minuscule compared to what foreign investors of US companies are receiving.

You could point to research grants for graduate students, but these people are doing actual work at below market rates. It’s comparable to H1B’s except they are paid less and more of that money is funneled back into the US economy.

It's actually rare that I end up needing extra stuff attached to errors in zig. When I do, I end up thinking of a higher unit of work where I can stick some context data in case of errors.

For example, the article mentions a JSON parser. In zig I'd end up writing a class with minimal state and a few methods. I'd call parser.parse(...), and if that goes bad I just fill a parser.errdata field before returning an error. This is similar to the old errno.h way of doing it in C, but it's not global.

That's the pattern I use, if I need detailed error information, I make sure to provide a pointer where they can get written. And it turns out I haven't needed that too often...

I think that's a good question since pointing to references is a powerful way to make an argument. Although not legally binding, the UDHR contains this:

"Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."
Not really. Close to work, okay walkable amenities. It could even be better.

First part of Idaho SMR license application submitted
I am torn, I 100% understand the huge burden of commuting and the amazing flexibilities of working from home. I have a medical condition where I essentially have to prepare or at least bring all of my own food. This is obviously much easier when I WFH, and can prepare food ad hoc.

Although I do work for a large famous tech company, I have a sweet setup where I can bike to work (to my desk) in less than 10 minutes in Bay Area weather (which is cooperative probably 340 days a year), we are not working from office 5 days a week, and its somewhat socially acceptable to work limited hours (lets say 10-4:30) in the office.

Working in the office, I am so so so much more aware of all the other projects my team is working on, and the org as a whole. I am able to pick up on so much more. The little conversations, both about work and not are lost when WFH. Obviously many companies never 100% committed to remote work, and some of this could be made up for by different technologies and processes. But in my opinion it will be very very very hard to reach the fidelity and bandwidth of information of in person work.

I think you have a long list of pros and cons here.

A while back I was thinking about what college may look like in 20 year. I was thinking of my experience in a California UC and how useless I found the lectures and but how incredibly helpful I found the office hours and studying with peers. I was thinking a distributed satellite model could be ideal. The lectures or base instruction could be remote, or even AI based, with small "campuses" or even just glorified rooms somewhere (library, strip mall) where small groups of students can meet in groups of 5,10,15 and learn together.

I wonder if something could be done for work as well. If larger corporations could maintain lots of tiny office spaces, near where people want to, or could live and require teams to be co-located. I truly think that if the commute was just a few minutes, and the hours in office were only required to be 6 hours or something, that the working in office would not be a huge burden.
If you can get an old or broken disk from a farmer and have the ability ( or find someone who does) to cut and weld it, man can you make a good hoe. It will outlast several generations of your family. I found the best Hoe to be kind of like a field Hoe but the size of a small pizza slice, about 6 inches at the cutting edge and about 5 inches to the shaft insert.
You may feel like we're working too much, but the statistics paint a different story: we continue to work far less than we have historically. I agree with your concerns about work-home separation, but related to your example we're less than a generation removed from when the expectation (outside of those downtown office jobs) was that you probably were working on Saturday.

> Heather Moore-Farley was pregnant with her third child when the family’s car died on route home from vacation. Her husband’s office was walkable from home, as was a Zipcar share. So to help save both money and the environment, the family decided to see how long they could go without a car. Two days before they welcomed their youngest child, “we ordered a cargo bike and just kept going,” said Moore-Farley, who lives in Oakland. That was 10 years ago. They still haven’t replaced the family car.

Maybe in the future “well regulated” will mean that a president creates a “National militia” or deputizes anyone with a lawful firearm and no one else can buy a gun outside of the militia. Of course this militia would be right wing but I guess dictatorship is how it could end.

I wish you could "tip" shipments, something like a "I don't care when or how this arrives, just eventually get it here".

I partake a bit once in awhile where a package is "listed" as delivered and appears the next day, I suspect someone somewhere is scanning it in and then delivering later.
That is reassuringly sane.

So who said anything about supporting?

That was my whole original point, that if something is bad, it's if anything even more important not to censor information about it, not so thoroughly that it is actually removed from active and specific searches at least.

That absolutely includes things that advocate, because those very statements are the bad thing that needs to be seen to be believed and understood.

You can't just tell some kid who wasn't there "He rose to power and killed millions of Jews." It makes no sense and teaches no lesson. You have to show the crowd-pleasing speeches and other pro-nazi propaganda to show how attractive a bad thing can sound, to show how totally good and normal people just like you can end up cooperating with something wrong, to study and understand that aspect of the badness.

Some people will study that so they can then do it, but I don't see how that changes anything because we're right back to ignorance is no answer. Making everyone else ignorant is even worse. It creates even more victims than the one actually doing something bad.
I take your point.

But I don't see how diffusion is a problem; it's simply decentralization. I think the main problem is disengaged owners who think they can buy-and-forget.

If every owner paid even a modicum of attention (even just skimming the annual report) and every owner voted their opinion, we'd see a much better corporate America after one single year.
How to profile an asynchronous FastAPI server
Ehhh, a lot of high level languages support low-level interop. Python, Ruby, etc. It's not something you usually reach for as a user, but rather as a library author.

Of course everyone wants their language to be faster, but the interop story for Elixir/Erlang is very good, all things considered.
"debt is what makes you file for bankruptcy"

This is true, but taking on debt, as in, borrowing money, is not the only way to end up with more debts than you can pay. For example, I worked at a startup which ended up having a bunch of debts to retailers, because they sold physical product via retailers and retailers always put the risk on the vendor.

Of course, your typical SAAS won't end up there, but VCs do fund other business models.
...and as an employer I'm going to look for the person who doesn't elevate parrot care to the level that you have. We're both right.

When the timer goes off and the cooker switches off, the contents are still under pressure. That pressure shifts the liquid's boiling point, which is why pressure cookers cook hotter. If you vent the pressure vessel, the liquid inside will rapidly boil as it dumps that excess thermal energy to steam and your kitchen. It'll carry bits of liquid and cooked food with it.

Another thing you know but may not have connected: this is exactly the same process that can make water "explode" if you reheat it in a microwave.

Ask HN: Which other services train AI models on user content?
It would be helpful to compile a thread. Eventually I could turn it into a github repo.

This was inspired by seeing the Zoom news (disappointing).

Doesn't use content for training by default:

* GPT-4 API and GPT Playground

* Apple Notes, Apple Reminders

Does use content for training:

* ChatGPT (I think)

* Gmail (I think)

* Google Docs (I think)

* Google search

Ironically, AI could probably parse the LLMs for this. If anyone's looking for a side project, LLM-parsed terms of service that summarize whether a service will use the content for AI training would be helpful.

ARM: "This document defines the Boot and Runtime Services expected by an enterprise platform Operating System or hypervisor, for an SBSA-compliant Arm AArch64 server which follows the UEFI and ACPI specifications." (https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/5fb7e415d77dd80...)

Also "This document identifies the Arm and industry standard firmware interfaces applicable to the Arm 64-bit architecture. They include the PSCI, SMCCC, UEFI, ACPI, SMBIOS, and DT interfaces. Requirements that are based on these interfaces are specified. In addition, various recipes are created to accommodate the various operating systems and hypervisors."

Agree, would love to see this built into TablePlus.

What I really want is a state-based way to define my database. EdgeDB & Prism have made some progress here but they really only handle table changes. Really wish this were built into Postgres somehow (or any solid migration story).

I want to be able to define my tables, views, functions and everything and the engine behind it automatically figures out all the necessary changes. For example, change a table (add a column or something) and it is smart enough to update any dependent views and functions. Including handling of data migrations.

>Nearly one quarter of Americans have already been infected with the brain parasite toxoplasma.

But in healthy, non-pregnant individuals, the parasite just sits there with “long-term, potentially lifelong residence in the brains of healthy individuals and animals”—kept at bay by our immune system—“without any significant clinical consequence,” and, as such, “chronic toxoplasma infection has been viewed as a benign condition.” Until now, that is.

The upcoming congestion charge is a great way to make private the public costs of cars, and I hope that we manage to fully internalize driving’s externalities with tolls taxes and congestion charges, which can provide enough general funds for robust public transportation.
