So now we're just in disagreement about where these thresholds lie, and I think that's an OK place to disagree, because it will evolve over time with cultural evolution. I don't need to advise you that it's often tactically advantageous exhibit sensitivity to cultural norms.

That being said, I would be happy to see us hold one another to higher empathic standards than have been expected in corporate culture for the last century. At least one 2008 research study suggests that Narcissistic Personality Inventory scores were on the rise since 1989[0]--among undoubtedly WEIRD[1] college students.

Isn't this the natural order of how things go in tech? You burn millions or billions of dollars acquiring market share, then start pumping your customers for cash until they leave, or if you've done it right they can't leave.

Pretty much everything you wrote in that comment is wrong since you're interpreting the spec in a way that's clearly not what the spec describes (e.g. the spec is talking about alignment requirements for conversions, but you generalize it to "alignment requirements" which is dead wrong).
What I found interesting is that both Louisiana and California put out strikingly similar license plates in 1993. Both had red script at the top on a white background with dark blue lettering.
Pascal is objectively verbose. But there's something very aesthetically pleasing about the blockiness of it.
It would be nice if we could just see the list of languages ordered by complexity. I can't derive a thing from the map in the article.
Grammar in language can act like registers in a CPU: it allows you to use simple pronouns like 'he', 'she', 'they', 'we', 'it' to quickly refer to previously introduced entities. Grammatical gender gives you a quick way to assign the entities to different slots.

If you want to optimally hash your entities to the different slots, assigning gender approximately random would be the efficient strategy.

Btw, you might like Turkish: they don't have any grammatical gender. And in general it's a very regular and systematic language.
Not nearly as common as long weekends in Paris, Spain, Italy, etc.

Now extrapolate that to "long weekend in California." and it's again much less common.
I never self host out of pure laziness. I like open source because I know (at least theoretically) that I can go in and fix something with a PR in a codebase I don’t “own”.

I've fixed like 2 things in projects I've used ever, I kinda suck as a contributor. But the indirect benefits I get from others being able to contribute to these projects is immense.

I didn't know this before, but it's cool that originally back then Apple's directory explorer was still called 'Finder and it's not changed since.
The fun part is, Luxotica makes the lenses, and they also run the "insurance" provider for most Eye care stuff, so when they say "These glasses are $1400 but with our insurance you only pay $400!" what they are actually doing is artificially inflating the "sticker" price, so it looks like they are giving such a huge discount, while they charge $400 for five cents worth of plastic and ten cents worth of machine time on a completely automated grinding machine. Keep in mind, when you get those same lenses from like zenny for ten bucks, they're still making a pretty good profit margin.

Basically Luxotica is trying to turn the eye health care market into the same system we have in the normal health care market here in the states, and congress has turned a blind eye to them.
My steam deck doesn’t need opinions to work. It just does.
Seems a pretty obvious way to preserve value-add in the face of competing game services. GOG and so forth don't have Proton, so the simplest moat to build is to curtail native Linux development and protect Proton's status as the "default" approach to getting games running there.
Fair enough re Delphi, but the previous comment pertained to FreePascal with Lazarus, which are FOSS and well-maintained.

I agree with "many many years" but a good number of quantum computers use other methods (superconducting qubits from Google/Rigetti, or trapped ions from IonQ). They have much smaller numbers of qubits, are more generally applicable to problems, but have the issue of noisy readings.

Mostly agreed to all this.

I've had a better experience since I switched from arch to ubuntu. For example steam remote play works w/ my Apple TV upstairs. Under arch I couldn't ever get it to work.

I've had mixed experience with AMD vs Nvidia. I bought a 5700xt which was way less reliable than my old nvidia 980ti, which never once crashed under linux. I upgraded to a 6700xt last year and that's been smooth. I'd originally bought the AMD card hoping to run Wayland but am still on X11.

I'm mostly playing single player games.
Valve already had Wine on Linux to work with. Although we have Wine on Mac now, it is a subpar experience. Aside from that, Vulkan on MacOS never received official support from Apple

I would say Valve stand on the shoulder of giants with Wine and Vulkan, they just had tl connect the dots between the two.

If Apple itself would respect its gamer users it could spend sometime on these open projects, but knowing Apple, if they do anything it would be on a closed-source vendor lock-in style
> 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.

The registry sets those premium prices, not the registrar (aka Namecheap).

Mentioned in the article but it seems many commenters missed it:

The rich get richer because they have access to more choices than the plebes do. There are lots of non-publicly traded investments out there. They have a minimum investment amount that many people cannot afford. A friend sets up and manages RE investment syndication deals - these are where a bunch of people pool their funds and buy RE properties (commercial offices, or large apartment complexes).

He used to require $50K as a minimum investment. He now asks $75K. He is on the low end. I've encountered many that require $100K and require you to be an "accredited investor" - you need either $1M in assets (excluding your home) or earn over $300K if married to qualify.

These investments are potentially higher risk (e.g. if they use your funds for 80% downpayment on a mortgage, and the value of the property drops 10%, you've lost half your investment). But their returns are quite high. For a deal that exits well, the investors typically get over 20% return (annualized). I used to be all about index funds, and then I saw these. You have to find an operator with a good track record, understand the factors at play well enough to evaluate their offering, and if you do your due diligence, then you pretty much always get at least 15% annualized. Most investors wouldn't even consider the investment if they felt it is less than that.

But you need a lot of money to get in.
Unaligned memory access is UB period, no ifs no buts.
Thanks for the feedback! If we look at other products in similar categories, we can see that the first thing is the value proposition. You want to tell a story to your viewer, and they will "remember" the pain by themselves - no need to write it in our own words. Or at least that's what we believe.
How much battery capacity would that require to maintain grid stability? How many years will it take to manufacture those batteries? Where will the raw materials be mined?
that argument can be given to stock trading, art and stamp collecting, and basically any speculative investment. Are you suggesting there should be none of that?
I think in five years, LLMs will be like expert systems: largely considered not really "AI" but sitting around in the back end of all sorts of random systems.
At some point that just devolves into one person pointing at a dog and saying "that's a dog" and the other saying "nu'uh it's a cat". Cat guy isn't doing anything illegal but they're still making a claim without evidence and refusing to let go of the claim in the face of contrary evidence.

I'm genuinely worried about my country's ability to recover from what the Big Lie is doing to it, so I do care about the topic, and I do try to argue for sanity and truth where I can.
For me it is. Partly though that's because I boot windows so rarely that when I do I have to sit through a whole bunch of updates.

I prefer linux to windows generally so the ability to game without re-booting is a bonus on top of that. If I preferred being in windows I wouldn't run linux just for gaming.
Ouch, that hurts. Did that designer fail to grok the Moebius strip?
I would love to as well, if the Linux versions would boot up and run on Steam Deck. Even when I was gaming on my desktop, which is pure Arch, I remember regularly needing to edit Linux games or recompile dependencies to get them to work.

Flibitijibibo has some good commentary on when to dynamically/statically link libraries, leaning towards statically linking dependencies when possible to avoid relying on the OS too much. Coincidentally, Flibitijibibo's Linux ports are some of the few where I can just download them and be confident that they're likely going to work out of the box with zero troubleshooting.

I don't get your point. Are you defending people driving drunk in the USA because they are more likely to be caught?

In my country it's also common to get caught after being stopped for speeding or car malfunction (like missing headlight), after a minor crash, by driving in a suspicious way, or just during a random check (that police is allowed to do). In total, around 450 drivers out of 1000 are tested for drunk-driving every year. It's one of the higher numbers in EU, so drunk drivers here are also (hopefully) likely to be caught.

And the US DUI limit is insane - 0.08% BAC. In my country it's 0.02% BAC and if you get caught you lose a driving license for at least 6 months (with progressively more severe consequences for higher violations, up to a prison sentence, lifetime driving ban and losing your car permanently).
Consultants very, very rarely bring any genuine novel insight. In my experience, their prime contribution is simultaneously their most cynical and most useful: they navigate sclerotic bureaucracies, locate the people who know the answer, and then present the answer to decision-makers in a way that cuts through organizational politics and saves executive face.

Small orgs don’t need consultants. Not because they can’t afford them, but because small orgs don’t have the dysfunctional communication patterns of large orgs, which is the prime driver of demand for consultants.

The client already has the answer within their possession. The client should already be able to surface that answer and execute on it. But they just can’t. They are institutionally incapable of finding the already-existing answer within themselves.

The old adage says the consultant will borrow your watch to tell you the time. This quip masks the fact that clients don’t know how the big hand relates to the little hand, or where their watch is located.
'Too big too fail' is mostly about taking advantage of (implicit or explicit) government guarantees. Ie making the taxpayer bail you out.

That's very different from normal creditors being morons.

(And yes, the people with resources often, but not always, have an easier time getting the government to give them even more resources.)
Very cool! How many images did you use to create the LoRa of your dog? Do you have any guide to recommend?
Post like these are why the Rust community is mocked.

C and C++ aren't over. They probably never will be. The correct answer is that the author chose two languages to support because it's their library. It is, indeed, strange a binding doesn't exist for two of the most popular languages on the planet. Not a big deal.

A quick perusal of both github repos and job listings shows that C and C++ are definitely not "over".
> It’s a result of the lack of affordability, not a cause.

Probably not. If you're familiar at all with the history of women entering the workforce, it was driven largely by women wanting to have careers and professional fulfillment and not financial necessity.
Oh, you know, Penn has always played bass. He released an album with his band "Bongos, Bass & Bob" back in 1988, long before his residency in Vegas. Is he a better bassist than Mike Jones on piano? Sure, probably not. But he was in no way a neophyte. He's played bass in his act for literally decades! He's a hype man! He's hyping up his pre-show. You know, I'd like to play bass before doing a show in Vegas and good for him, but sheesh.
But they don't talk about what they did to improve the speed of ART.

They talk about how they modularized. That's about it. Kind of not really worth reading. Seems more like a, "yay we managed to modularize some things" self congratulation, rather than getting something useful to the community.
Why? So rich successful individuals spend more time sailing on their yachts instead of building their business?
More discussion over here from 2 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37188791
What's the reason it never shipped?
Mostly this. Whenever you hear someone say “I’ve been telling them to do X for years”, you have to keep in mind that the value of the consultant is not to come up with the idea to do X, but to tell them to listen to you.
Yes, that would actually be much more useful to me than what stackoverflow is. A vast number of the questions found that can be easily answered by RTFM and/or doing some direct experimentation. The harder ones would be more useful.
That's part of my point. Since customers can't actually replace a ".com" domain with a domain from a "competitor" TLD, it isn't actually competition.

If .name was just as good as .com then if verisign increased the price, they would lose customers who would use .name instead. So the fact that verisign can increase the price when .com is _already_ more expensive than other TLDs is evidence that they do have a monopoly.
From the article's conclusion:

> This suggests that while money is perfectly inheritable, exceptional talent is not.

Unless I'm missing something, it also suggests that the rich get richer because they are more talented in the first place.

Which kind of makes the point of the entire article rather moot.
If I understand your hypothesis correctly, the obvious counterexample is German. Germany had a very weak central authority for most of its history, a steady influx of non-native speakers, and still maintained its complexity.
There's some sort of big SSD price drop in the past 3 months. I dunno what that's about, but I did upgrade a machine, so that's nice.

There does definitely seem to be a pricing mechanic in that hard drives never really scaled down in minimum unit cost; the basic parts of a hard drive still cost real money, so if you can do 2TB per platter, and a top of the line drive has 10 platters, a single platter 2TB drive costs a lot more than 10% of the top of the line drive. OTOH, flash controllers aren't that expensive and/or the cost of the controller scales with the capacity, so SSD prices tend to be more linear with capacity.

If you need a lot of space, $/B means a lot, but if you just need an ample amount of space, $/device is more important, and SSD drives have hit the point where an ample amount of space is available for less than any hard drive.
Domain is for sale.

Economic waste, as it seemed the previous commenter meant, can definitely be profitable. The cleanup of that waste can be treated as an externality that the company doesn't have to pay for at all - that was done a lot in prior decades when they would dump chemicals, for instance. The damage and waste plastic causes to the overall environment is the same way: the companies producing that plastic do not have to pay to clean it up, so that cost for them isn't counted because it's being paid for elsewhere.

Yep, surprised how few people have been mentioning this here.

Whatever you do, it's not "this" going on.

But even if it was, there's some maximum level of information that can cram into a human brain (regardless of if it's natural or an uploaded consciousness), and if the data rate giving you fulfilling experiences goes up 2% per year, then we go from "half-full" to "overloaded" in 35 years.

I'm finding the comparison to the previous wave of ML absolutely fascinating.

I tinkered with ML for a few years, and it took a LOT of work to get anything useful out of it at all.

Now with LLMs I can literally type out a problem in English and there's a reasonably good chance I'll get a useful result!

It really does feel like an entirely new set of capabilities to me.
The backend-per-frontend thing makes sense for Netflix. They're huge scale like I said, plus they've been around a while, so a lot of backwards compatibility issues will arise. I can't see that being a default pattern to jump to, though.

Backend that handles all the microservices so the frontend isn't doing that job, sure. I didn't even consider doing it differently than that.
Interesting example founders. Looks like you need to have been at the right university.

I suspect GoG tests mostly on Debian-based systems, probably Ubuntu and it's variants. On Arch, things get weird (at least in my experience, maybe other people have had better luck).

It's frustrating because Arch is generally more stable for me than Debian, but you can kind of see the niche status of the OS play out whenever you're working with a package that wasn't packaged by the Arch team. When developers have to maintain packages for multiple distros, my experience has been that usually the popular ones get serviced first and the niche ones get serviced last.
Being involved in a lawsuit with their biggest customer (Qualcomm) is not a great look. If I were an investor, I would keep a close eye.
It is a shame that there are not better monitoring tools that surface this. When I use Activity Monitor on macOS, it would be useful to see how much of “% CPU” is just waiting on memory. I know I can drill down with various profilers, but having it more accessible is way overdue.
Stable diffusion doesn’t grant the user a good imagination or taste unfortunately
They would probably still do that scheme, because it has the benefit of you never see the downside risk of stock. If the stock goes up, you can pay off the loan and keep the difference. If the stock becomes worthless, you can default and let the bank be stuck with trying to claw back funds from a bankruptcy.

Notably, the rich do not have problems with "credit score", which never seems to apply to them.

I find "open core" or source-available (with license allowing self-hosting and custom modifications) to be a good middle ground.

It allows potential users to quickly try out the solution and prove its worth without having to first go through a (often months-long in big companies) procurement process.

It also allows users to understand how the system works internally which can fill gaps in documentation or cover use-cases the original developer hasn't thought of.

It can also allow them to fix bugs/edge-cases (that may not be in upstream as they are specific to a niche use-case) or to tweak the software to better fit their infrastructure.

Finally being self-hostable automatically makes the software suitable for secure, potentially air-gapped environments or allows the software to be deployed closer to where the rest of the infrastructure is.
So after years of being an engineer there is a part of me that is entranced by the idea of being a quick talking, sharp suited business consultant. Anyone whose been one of those "management consultants" have any advice for moving from tech to get picked up by one of the big firms?

EDIT:
As for the why, I've been working as an engineer at large organizations so long I figure it might be nice to be on the other side of the consulting table and be considered an "expert" instead of the obnoxious "human resource" constantly whining about obnoxious reality. It get's tiring, and it seems nice to be one of the slick suited bad guys.

> As for a finite planet, we do have energy from the sun, and potential materials from the rest of the solar system to make use of, starting with the Moon

Our planet's finiteness extends beyond just physical resources and space. The air we breathe, the oceans that regulate climate and support life, and the intricate web of biodiversity are all interconnected components of Earth's finite ecosystem.

While external sources like solar energy and space materials offer opportunities, they don't alter the fact that the planet's capacity to support life and maintain these critical systems remains limited.
I see fake plates on an almost daily basis IN California (for whatever reason the white on black look is pretty popular,and not just with the Reviver plates).
