Chaebols are sort of the product of a centrally planned economy. I.e the government backs a "winner" - so Korea can more quickly compete globally at scale. (competitive markets, but does not quickly industrialize an economy).

The article instead looks at massive capital consolidation as the product of a free market. The scale begets massive synergies (for lack of a better word) across vertical integration and horizontal expansion. This particularly holds true software firms. With those efficiencies, it becomes impossible for new entrants to enter a market even adjacent to a large incumbent.
Doesn't make it any less annoying, from my own perception anyway. I have known about DRM standing for Direct Rendering Manager for years, but it's really annoying even today.
I think everyone one has his own preference on formatting so the ability to customize such formatters would be the best feature.

There's both Apple's Hypervisor framework (a lower-level framework for hypervisors to use to avoid needing a kernel extension), and Apple's Virtualization framework (which is a higher-level framework that lets you run Linux and macOS VMs). QEMU supports virtualization on macOS with the HVF accelerator, which uses the Hypervisor framework. UTM uses QEMU, supporting virtualisation through QEMU with HVF (as well as emulation of other architectures with QEMU). UTM also has support for using the Virtualization framework. But either way, with an ARM64 image, you'll be getting virtualization (unless you disable HVF when using QEMU).
Yeah, it is profitable for the US that Ukraine people keep getting slaughtered.
> I still have no idea how to play some specific chord like for example the most basic C major chord.

The harmonic series or overtones goes:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...
C1 C2 G2 C3 E3 G3 B♭3 ...

You could play 1,3,5 to play C1,G2,E3 but this gives notes from three different octaves. What you usually want is C3,E3,G3, and fortunately it's right there: play 4,5,6.
Someone commented on the GitHub repo with very similar wording to the above[0].

The problem with nuclear accidents is the consequences can be so catosrophic that it's virtually impossible to accept failure. Irradiate a few hundred sqkm in an accident and you easily exceed every other expense of building the plant (being generous).

It's funny how usually people argue for more regulation of side effects, but as soon as nuclear gets involved it's the reverse. Nuclear must be absolutely safe, because no one but the government (and by extension, the general populace) can afford the expense of insuring it. Reducing regulation is tantamount to giving investors permission to pull as much money as they like out of the plant and leaving us with the risk.
I’m not sure it matters much. The point is that they identified a potential area for a competitor to grow in social media and just utterly crushed the space. And now that it turns out maybe there isn’t much of a market it doesn’t even really matter to them, they can easily absorb that loss and move on.
we didn't allow anything until the kids got sick and needed nebulizer. Its impossible to keep a 2.5 yr old straight for 15mins with a mask in the face , breathing.

In those tough times:
1) Baby Einsten videos. Young ones love them!
2) the equivalent of Mr. Rogers, but in a foreign language that we speak at home. We mostly allow 10min-45min of screen time, but carefully orchestated around learning. No english TV is allowed unless its directly related to complex learning (as in, physics etc).

Since during sickness the "cat was out of the bag" with respect to what the TV does , then we allowed a bit of YT.

I prefer immersion, for example:At 4yrs old we brought in khan academy (Kids), scratch, or math maze 2 (put together by another HNer, yay!) https://gogamewise.com/games/math-maze-2/

The latter allowed our 5 yr old to do heavy multiplication and fractions.
Our 7yr old is already putting together complex multi-sprite projects on scratch. Our go-to has been Chesskid and Khan AcademyKids, but they will be graduating from Khan Kids soon, so we will see.

We don't allow youtube except for a few obscure shows with no violence, plus 3 popular ones: Blippi, PawPatrol, Octonauts. We only allow watching in foreign languages.

We tried cosmos and kurtgesagt but the shows go too deep into existential questions and caused anxiety in children. That was a big mistake.
Hitting an invalid credit card just results in NO SALE, which the bank won’t care much about. What they don’t like are cards that go through and then get contested.

The author picks an example of an aspect where Med-Palm2 is impressive, and then your counter argument is to find another cherry picked example where the performance is not satisfactory. Great discourse..

There is nothing disingenuous about the post. Is your argument literally that there is not enormous potential for impact with this technology? And you're going to go with the argument that there's a single axis on which an ML system underperforms a frigging doctor? In what universe is an ML system (slightly) underperforming a human doctor on a single axis not one of the most impressive things to have happened in the past 50 years?
I don't think you have to search for some nefarious pharma connection - to me the simpler explanation is that "social media is bad" is an opinion that is very much in the zeitgeist right now, so any "scientific" findings that supports this belief will generate lots of press attention, which is beneficial to the researchers careers and institutions.
That’s fair. I’ve had a similar argument with a friend about AI and creativity where he was aging that AI just produces mashups of existing work, but unless you’re a top author, the best that the vast majority of us can expect to produce is a mediocre mashup of existing ideas and AI can produce work that’s as good as or better than that.

So in the same light, I suppose it’s fair to say that AI can produce code that is certainly better than what the average person can produce and if it can do something useful, well, most people will be happy with the results. Not everyone needs top quality software and as you say even a lot of professionally produced software is garbage. So, yeah, fair point.

Complete tangent, but I noticed we posted the same exact link [1] around the same time and was curious what your research methodology was?

My Approach to suspect articles is to look for data that would either confirm or deny the claim in the article. Google article results are usually garbage so I look at image results to find actual data tables or charts. In this case, I found the link you posted by searching "Fortune 500 company turnover by year" and looking for line charts with a reasonable time frame.

Lok at the big rate cuts in 2020 because virus. Out of nowhere seemingly, actually a few weeks after Ukraine fighting started, the Fed hiked rates. The Fed knows war is inflationary and jumped into rate hiking.
That's really incredible. In the same time period the US population grew from about 80 million to 330 million. Roughly a quadrupling of the population and yet they only produced 7% more steel. Feels more like a company that was run overly conservatively and basically grew old and died.
You say all that. Meanwhile teenagers are finding love on character.ai.
More specifically: All of the binaries are just Inno Setup files - even the proxy itself.

Which means it should be easy to wipe out with the next MSRT/Windows update. Considering unpacking Inno and decompiling that weird Pascal(?) scripting it uses has been a thing forever now (innounp). Meaning you can also fully reverse engineer this with a single CLI command and Notepad++ lol

Although this is super clever. I'll give them that.

It’s in the word: news. It must be new.
Oh, I full-heartedly understand and agree!

However, I think referring to something as "free" when it's explicitly "free right now and probably not later" is a bit misleading. I doubt GP was trying to pull any wool over any eyes. In the enterprise context, especially, the differentiation is pretty important. Also, the page I linked does imply that it will become not free in the lunch sense of the term, for commercial users (already not free in the libre sense of the term, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that).
Walmart also has a hedge in that IIRC its initial expansion was in rural areas neglected by most department store/big box chains.

If anything, the dollar stores represent more of a threat to Walmart.

I don't think they ever care about whether your extension has bug or not. They probably only review whether your extension has weird minified code or dependencies.
I just want mandated open interop standards. Maybe I’m naive and that’s not enough, but it seems that it gets us a step in the right direction.
This is linked in the footer of this page, but Graham Christensen has an excellent blog post “Erase your darlings” [1] that explains why you might want to do this.

So there's only 1 VM, running a modified Linux kernel (https://github.com/orbstack/linux-macvirt/commits/mac-pub) with a barebones userland. Then inside there's a bunch of souped-up chroots (probably LXC/LXD), running the various linux distribution VMs as well as one that just runs `dockerd`.

Here it specifies that all the VMs share 1 kernel: https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture#linux-machines

On top of this, it's fast because it uses Rosetta (which is very fast) and kdrag0n spent a lot of time optimizing various parts of the kernel and the resulting environment.
Who's gonna break them up? You and I? How?

Themselves? Of course not.

The government? They're the reason they're so big and powerful in the first place. Politicians are easily swayed if you have billions of dollars to convince them to do your bidding.

Everything is set up to favour cancerous growth once you reach a certain size, and there are no real failsafe mechanisms against that. Antitrust is useless if it is never invoked, for example.

I wish we'd start to notice how our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government have been failing us for decades on this matter, instead of just wondering "how the hell did it come to that?" and blaming "capitalism", whatever that means.

Adam Smith alone doesn't explain how a company can skirt around the rules of free market competition and grow to a trillion dollars. You need a lot of external help from people in power to get there.

Lead acid isn't that much cheaper. You can get LFP 12v 100AH batteries for $290, with a 10yr warranty. You also don't have to worry about discharging them too low.

That actually makes Spotify worse, because they could have offered that product instead of using huge sums of capital to reshape the expectation anybody with a device is entitled to listen to any work on demand for free.

I guess the good news is that it wouldn't cause a fuss if someone were to change policy so that you can't pay out buffet streaming like it's digital radio and people ended up having to buy songs or at least do the honest work of piracy if they won't accept the app directing programming. After all, most people are just as happy listening to a Markov chain generate bloops for free.
it's really interesting the things that become possible with a system like nix in use. I don't think i'd ever use this but having a configuration persisted make for a interesting platform when reboot restores it to the original state.
We have an off-grid cabin with 4 x trojan lead acid batteries and they have worked flawlessly for 8 years so far and still going strong, despite regular over-draining by solar-ignorant guests (who would bring their own bar heater to plug into a solar system??)

They get water topped up every few months and fizzed every couple of years.

Speed of charge is not everything.

It’s ok to take criticism dude, that’s how things improve. Without acknowledging what’s wrong nothing gets better. This knee jerk reaction doesn’t help. No city started out perfect, proper planning and work had to be done to make it better.

That article really did not stray much from the topic nor was it derisive, seems to highlight an interesting governing issue, which should be fixable by creating a city level accountable government. Really don’t get the need for whataboutism. This kind of though process is counter productive to a promising growing country.
They explicitly say free during beta and paid afterwards so if anyone misunderstands that, that's on them. It's quite reasonable to have such phrasing and many other products also have similar business models.
The dollar stores around here pose no threat, except maybe in the area of helium balloons.

The jump to being a five dollar store that the other one did is doomed to failure.

Possibly you are right. Must admit, I don't play a lot on my PC. I play sometimes the Portal series, which runs natively on Linux. My data set for my previous statement is admittedly not a big one: the one that I wanted to use Wine for was the Syberia series (I'm old), which has reports ranging from "doesn't work" to "works perfectly". It didn't work for me: it randomly either crashed, or just froze a few minutes into the game. Granted, haven't tried it since at least a year or so.
Yes, this is taken care of. We can serve as the employer and thus provide access to a variety of options.
I agree with the thrust of your arguments around fusion, though I would disagree on some of the conspiracy theory implications. Your pessimism may turn out to be well placed, but with the piddling amount of investment thrown into the subject, it almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And that comes back to my point - I'd be very happy to have a lot more budget thrown at the problem, because a) it seems extremely unlikely at this point that the technology is outright infeasible, and b) the payoff will be monumental.

Your claim:

> So I'd rather that money be sent straight to fission plants, since we know they'll actually work on time.

is contra-indicated by reality, unfortunately.

(If you're going to drop phrases like 'if it's even possible', and 'might be expensive', and so on for your fusion predictions, I'll point at the actual failures of fission nuclear power plant deployments over the past few decades.)
The image shows a problem with civic services, very common in poorer countries with less developed civic structure.

At the same time, there is something about Indian cities (and a lot of Asian cities) that America just doesn't seem to have - families living in core city downtown-like areas. Families demand convenient walkable stores and cheap public transportation. And these are available in abundance in even small cities in India.
People have been talking about the need for higher interest rates for a decade. 2020 happened and they dropped them, again. That caused the people saying we needed higher rates to continue to say we need higher rates. The fact they were so low for so long is the anomaly.
No one can explain why regulators refuse to regulate corporate behemoths without this model.

And being on the payroll is played very differently now: consider the Pelosi family investment strategy as it relates to big tech. Bribes are not required to get paid.
I’ve always thought the key will be some buttons on the back.
For sure there's a minimal necessary complexity but I don't think natural languages are anywhere close to it, and I don't think different natural languages have to be the same distance from it.

For example English is pretty simple in many aspects but it has absurdly complex spelling for no benefit. If not for historic reasons it could be simplified significantly without losing any expressive power whatsoever - simply by making the spelling regular.
A random search like that might give okay results but has no guarantees approximation ratio.

Eighteen150 represents eighteen months of runway for $150K. Our goal is to provide enough time & money to help aspiring solo immigrant founders land on something worthy of their next 10 years. Over the past 9 years, we have seen clarity of coalesce around 18 months or less.
Just to moderate the dream slightly, if you're moving around at a solid pace and/or driving enough that you get actual work done, the fuel costs add up. I've had trips in RV/bus-scale vehicles have portions that work out at $100-250/day in gas. So, ideally you want an electric vehicle.

And to be honest, the actual driving is often a predictable and easy part of the equation. Finding camping/accommodation options near national parks, and then dealing with the hordes is a hassle that remains. If you can work on the road, in theory you're less rushed.

Travel with a partner and then at least one of you can work while the other drives.

Federal Reserve is a private contractor to USA and sets the price of money (interest rates). Their recent statement timidly implied the war is causing inflationary pressures. As a contractor, they can't directly tell the White House to 'knock off the warmaking' so they wrote 'international developments'.

labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation
expectations, and financial and international developments."

...but for distributed databases specifically, you can use a different algorithm like Calvin[0] or Fauna[1] that do not require external atomic clocks… but the CS point and the wealth of info in research papers (in distributed systems stuff) are solid

Sounds like they are describing an addiction.

Not everyone's social media experience is the same.

The author was participating in the noise, stuck in the culture of substance abuse.

Their experience is that this is the only experience.

To the most casual observer this is clearly untrue.

Anyone paying attention to the science on social media is aware there are people stuck in this cycle.

It's cool that this person woke to it but there is nothing larger here and there is no indication their habits are going to change longer term. They are determined to continue to participate in something they admit harms them.
Look for "solar inverter" - Growatt, MPP Solar are popular brands - they will come with inverters though, but have grid backup/passthrough.
I spent an absolute fortune playing British Legends in the mid 1980s on Compuserve. It was $6.25 an hour at 300 baud to watch the text slowly crawl across the screen - and that was dial up, when telephone charges were expensive even for local calls.

You can still play if you are interested! (for free and at a much higher speed)
