OTOH, like all relatively simple apps, this ought to be trivially easy to create a competitor for, so it must not be economically feasible to do so (just like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit never got any competition no matter how user hostile they became). Why isn't there a free, non-evil Hinge competitor? Because it costs too much to run, and they have to do this to stay in business.

Reasons because you are appealing to potential employers or not. I witnessed terrible candidates being successfully pitched to large corporations. Because candidates knew how to game the story telling and recruiters wanted the commission worth one month of a high salary. Conversely weaker candidates, for whatever reason, are simply idled without any feedback. If this is the case you are much better off contacting potential employers directly to find out why. Ground truth.
“Ahhh! My paycheck isn’t keeping up with inflation!”

“How dare they do this!”
Nope. Nope. Nope.

Housing in the US is freakingly cheap. You can buy a house that would be an envy of half of the people in Europe for $200k. The problem is, it won't be anywhere near "trendy" locations.

And that's the _real_ problem. People are forced by market forces to move into ever denser cities.

And increasing density ALWAYS results in cost increases. It's like the rocket equation: dense cities need infrastructure to support infrastructure to support infrastructure.

And no, none of the inane solutions: "let's legalize SROs^W microapartments!" or "let's just force each homeowner to take a family to live with them!" will do anything with that. They'll just increase the overall misery.
If it was Borland's compiler suite it may or may not have been perfectly standards-compliant, hence the quotation marks. The Borland suite from the early 90s seemed to be pretty relaxed/forgiving about what was valid C/C++.

My school utilized Turbo C++ 3.0 for instruction (and later 4.5), which implemented some weird subset that was pre-C++98. Plenty of things that I was doing when targeting the Borland compiler barfed terribly when compiled with GCC (or G++).

I'd definitely consider what we were writing in those days "C" or "C++" but not anything that resembles modern software...
That is a fair point. We did want to promote it on Hacker News because it is such a great forum to get the word out. We apologize if it came off as a bit off-putting.

But we do hope that our app delivered on the value that we promise.
That's part of the problem. The other part is that common buyers are competing with investor funds + international investors who can pay over asking price and still make a major profit.

Worse is how in New York a ton of stores are left empty to lower the tax burden on the owner of the building, or to drive up prices more.

All that combined with automated landlord pricing tools that effectively make a nationwide collaboration between landlords who'd previously never talk to eachother.

I've got the OM-D E-M1 (from back when it was Olympus). The trick with their algorithm is that it's not simply adding to the frame. It's diffing, and adding whatever's left over. Which, as you note, does great for things like waterfalls.

People don't really like each other enough to work for a positive future. And yet they all want to live in a populous city with amazing opportunities/infrastructure/environment/etc

That's the problem.

If technology is so advanced and if solar panels are getting cheaper, why aren't we building new cities in the desert? (Or, why aren't we bringing new techs to small towns that already exist?)

If everyone is so tired of planned obsolescence and not owning their devices, why aren't we making new industries based on sustainable, repairable, open source phones?

There could be whole new towns running an economy on producing sustainable hardwares and then selling the repair parts. It wouldn't be a lot of money. But if everything we use is repairable and sustainable, we wouldn't need a lot of money.

Maybe I am just silly to hope for such a future?

>Did you ever have a problem with domain registration?

Recently, I painstakingly created a five-letter domain name, and researched extensively to see if it was already taken [I don't use registrar lookup and advise you not to either]. I verified that it was totally free and unpublished.

When using the namecheap control panel to register it, I was advised that it was a "premium" domain [why thanks!] and that, therefore, I would have to pay a corresponding amount.

Summary: My beautiful domain was simply hijacked and if I'm ever to register it I will have to participate in an auction. I was able to register the corresponding domain without problems, on equal terms with all other competitors, through Registro.br[0] - although it can't be as cool as a pure .com domain.

Would you consider this a problem?

The domain registration industry in the United States is completely prostituted and I'm not happy to say it.

Debt.

A person might not be able to lower prices because they owe more than the house will sell for. I can't imagine that is broadly the case in this market, unless the house was just bought.

A corporation is even less likely to lower prices if they own lots of properties. If they lower the price of one, their loss may be multiplied by the number of comparable holdings.

I imagine that it might affect borrowing for highly leveraged real estate investors. If you are securing loans on asset values and they drop in perceived value, lenders might get nervous and call loans in.

This is flat out false, at least in Texas:

Also, there have been other articles I read during the pandemic (the topic was how long eviction moratoriums were killing small landlords while corporate landlords could weather it) that small, individual landlords do a much better job at renting out housing more affordably, being more willing to work with renters when they are behind on their payments, etc.

Yeah, yeah, it's always someone else's fault. Not boomer zoning! Not the corpos! No, the people profiting from the problem couldn't possibly be at fault. Mmmhmm.

EDIT: nice edit. At least you acknowledge boomer zoning as problematic. But you blame the left. Lol. I seem to recall your guy repealing a bunch of density-promoting legislation and bragging about "saving your housing values" on TV. Someone is in denial here!
Fully agree. When the user selects a file via the file selection dialog, that automatically implies s/he has given permission to read that file. So the Flatpak libportal approach has really good UX. Having a second popup to grant access to the file would be horrible UX. Which is why apps ask for coarse-grained permissions like "access to all files" in order to bother the user as little as possible with multiple permission dialogs. Which then kinda defeats the point of sandboxing. I'm reminded of how Android apps need to know your "location" in order to scan for wifi networks.

In general I think all permission dialogs should be reframed as selection or confirmation dialogs.

• Open file dialog -> grants permission to read that file.

• Open file for edit dialog -> grants permission to read/write that file.

• Save as -> grants permission to read/write that file.

• Select which wifi network to connect to -> grants permission to use internet

• Do you want to display events in your neighborhood? -> grants permission to location data

• Select which camera & mic to use for this call -> grants permission to record video & audio

I have to say though, apart from that permissions thing, the author makes a lot of good points I hadn't realized before.

Right.

People can claim anything they want. Whether they're correct is the thing. I'm suggesting that, since they've articulated a belief that they can't use it without an explicit CLA, you go ahead and yes-and them and play it out both for comedy's sake and the greater good.

> And why can't they lower their prices?

Because if you bought an over-inflated peak-market house you're stuck with that mortgage rate.

There's people paying $1,500 - $2,000 monthly on mortgages for average homes. To rent it out, it's not sufficient (for a variety of reasons) to simply collect the mortgage payment, meaning you have to charge even more to stay afloat.

If the market cools, and people no longer are willing to pay $2,5000 a month in rent on average homes, then the home owner is in a pickle... try to re-fi, if possible, offload the home, or ride the storm out (if financially feasible).

> Knowing that there is at least one male (eliminating FF), or at least one female (eliminating MM), the probability of one male and one female is 2/3.

Don't you always know that there is at least one male or one female?

I mean, if A="there is at least one male" and B="there is at least one female" you're telling me that if you know that A holds the probability is 2/3 and if you know that B holds the probability is 2/3.

But, knowing no additional information, you KNOW that A and/or B holds!

> I think the most efficient means of delivering so much xrays that kilograms of material can fuse is with the primary stage of an hbomb, which is just an implosion fission bomb.

I agree with you, if you have fission triggers, you aren't going to want to use lasers. At least with today's lasers.

> I wouldn't be too worried about this test creating a new weapon.

My concern is that NNP has focused on controlling access to fissionable material, so potentially this is a path to h-bomb that doesn't require fissionable material. As lasers get better, secondaries that don't use controlled fission materials become a risk. At what point does the world start having to worry about controlling access to lasers? How does this impact the future research and funding of lasers?

Additionally if you can test h-bombs without tests. This also makes it easier to develop and test a h-bomb without revealing you have an h-bomb. Typically nuclear weapons tests are detectable via seismographs.
No? You completely misread what he said.

As more people are able to produce music (due to cheaper tools like DAWs, more accessible music theory education, etc etc), if the demand of music doesn't grow proportionally, the average income of musicians/songwriters would decline.

The above will happen regardless of Spotify's existence. Thus, Spotify doesn't matter (much).
There is a huge confusion about this "double pumped" thing.

All that this means is that Zen 4 uses the same execution units both for 256-bit operations and for 512-bit operations. This means that the throughput in instructions per cycle for 512-bit operations is half of that for 256-bit operations, but the throughput in bytes per cycle is the same.

However the 512-bit operations need fewer resources for instruction fetching and decoding and for micro-operation storing and dispatching, so in most cases using 512-bit instructions on Zen 4 provides a big speed-up.

Even if Zen 4 is "double pumped", its 256-bit throughput is higher than that of Sapphire Rapids, so after dividing by two, for most instructions it has exactly the same 512-bit throughput as Sapphire Rapids, i.e. two 512-bit register-register instructions per cycle.

The only exceptions are that Sapphire Rapids (with the exception of the cheap SKUs) can do 2 FMA instructions per cycle, while Zen 4 can do only 1 FMA + 1 FADD instructions per cycle, and that Sapphire Rapids has a double throughput for loads and stores from the L1 cache memory. There are also a few 512-bit instructions where Zen 4 has better throughput or latency than Sapphire Rapids, e.g. some of the shuffles.
True, but statistics has nothing to do with correctness. Something done in excess, in either direction, is done in excess regardless of how many people do it.

The via media comes with difficulty as it requires reason and discernment, whereas extremes are easy and mindless, and people either under-exercise (the more common case) or over-exercise.

But historically, I would argue that we see more extreme "fitness" fads today than we did previously. Really dumb stuff that no longer has anything to do with health or fitness or beauty and more to do with some weird obsession.

That is a very good point.

On the actual app, you are able to carry a conversation with a stranger, going way beyond just sharing your short audio status messages.

> America doesn't need more urban sprawl and the stigma against renting is ridiculous.

Not that there isn't a stigma against renting, but, does one really want to be renting during retirement when most people's income is fixed? And yes, there are ongoing costs to ownership, but you can possibly plan for those better. You can't really plan for your land lord to raise rent by 50% because the media tells him the market is hot and he can do that.

No, actually quite the opposite: Reductio ad absurdum is a form of logical proof, not a fallacy.
> How dating app algorithms work

This section is full of mistakes. Especially:

> To use an overly simplistic example, if a lot of 25-year-old women who like Star Wars keep tapping “like” on one man’s profile, the algorithm might show him to more sci-fi fans in that age range.

The example here shows the author fundamentally misunderstands how collaborative filtering works. I am not saying it couldn't technically happen, just as many things are technically possible in a variety of circumstances, but that this is indicative of a Dunning Kruger esque mistake and jeopardizes the rest of his analysis.

> Can you hack the dating app algorithm? These guys are trying.

The simplest and most validly performance-improving hack is to create a new account, which isn't discussed here. The recommendations otherwise gathered are incorrect. In the context of the author's poor understanding of the underlying facts, it makes sense why this was printed though.

This is good bullshit because it’s close to the truth. Not quite a dozen lives but order of magnitude right:

(50,000,000 seconds saved per day) ÷ (60 seconds / minute) ÷ (525,600 minutes / year) ≈ 1.6 years saved per day
(1.6 years saved per day) × (365 days / year) ≈ 580 years saved per year

The fact that is a PR about the research (and consequently "dumbed down" for a lay audience) and not the actual research paper makes it a bit hard to divine, but I'm pretty sure the authors didn't conflate grammar with inflection affixes. In fact, the section on "Defining complexity" in the article here does mention this:

> "Many of the disagreements are down to differences in how 'complexity' is defined [...] In this study, we improved the methodology by teasing out two distinct measures: fusion (how many affixes verbs and nouns have) and informativity (how many distinctions are made)."

It strikes me as more likely that they're focusing on easily quantifiable metrics of grammatical complexity. Without reading the paper myself, I'd guess that the metrics chosen here suffer from lamplight fallacy (they're focusing on what can be quantified because it can be quantified as opposed to working out what would be a useful guide).
I hope that someone sooner or later will be able to propose an alternative model to the current DNS infrastructure.

Exceeding the current limits and the abuses that derive from it is certainly something extremely difficult to achieve, but I think there's a market in trying to fix the status quo.
>Generally making rent payments and investing the money you would have spent on the house

What money? Renting isn’t cheaper than owning. You will almost definitely make more money on remodeling a home than buying stocks.

It sounds like you're saying that because one is more expensive than the other it is therefore better.
Offhand, this brings to mind the Vocoder. A reasonable facsimile of fluent speech could be be produced just from the bandwidth of a skilled typist operating a keyboard.

What's encoded is not the audio - even the best audio codecs need on the order of 4kbits/sec to encode legible speech - but the actual semantics on how voice is produced.

Suppose you want to do this for movies. 8 kilobytes doesn't sound like enough, though the script of the movie could easily be compressed to that. But it's posible to imagine a system into which all the skill of the cinematographer, director, script writer, actors, etc. are built, with from 8 kilobytes of instructions could create, perhaps not the original movie, but something comparable.

Is this doable? Does some random crank have the remotest chance of pulling this off with the technology of the day? No. But that's likely the line of reasoning employed.
> And why can't they lower their prices?

The properties are valued based on the advertised rental rates and if property values fall, they can have significant down stream effects on financing like banks requiring the property owner to put up more collateral next time they need a loan, whether it's to build more housing somewhere else or pay for maintenance that has large upfront costs.
I’m not sure about other states, but in Kansas you can sleep it off provided that your keys never go into the ignition. Not sure how this works with keyless ignition now though.
Definitely not my intention to forgot or denigrate the past. Obviously all this exists due to deep learning and prior architectures. What I have been running into is many people and companies are interpreting this as "just more of the same" for prior ML waves, when really this is an entirely new capability set.

To the (bad) analogy on cars versus planes - both have wheels and can drive on the ground, but planes open up an entirely new dimension / capability set that can transform transportation, logistics, defense and other areas that cars were important, but different enough in.
What's a FDA? :-)
There was another path here - collective bargaining. When small individuals are bullied by large corporations it's because those corporations want something from the small individuals... they certainly don't care about one or two small artists walking away from the platform - but if artists can organize and bargain as a group they can ensure a fair outcome.

I think the modern world has become too complacent in terms of labor organization - the time of plenty left a lot of people content to take whatever was given to them because there was such a glut of excess that it was freely shared. That sharing is coming to an end and we're returning to a time when we need to demand fair and equitable treatment.

Not a very good one.
While the information might be public, I read something about the system used to look up the information wasn't exactly a public system where the one doing the looking up did not normally have access. Essentially, it was a reporter taking a shortcut. This is why they ultimately decided to not publish the story because the confirmation was on shaky ground
