Social mobility is also a lot higher in the Western EU. I moved with my wife to the Netherlands 3 years ago. I was working a FAANG job, I took a 30% pay cut (after factoring taxes, etc). But the flip side is that the relative salary of a global tech worker in the Netherlands is MUCH higher than the average. My wife and I now have 5 separate rental properties now and growing, something we could only dream of doing in the Bay Area unless one of us hit the startup lottery.

Of course I could have worked remotely for a similar pay cut and bought a bunch of rental properties in the Midwest or something, but instead we're living in a vibrant international city and have enough cash flow to pay our bills.

Either way, its hard to tell the actual truth from lies in this case. Is something going in with the Muslims and the CCP or is it a false narrative pushed by the west?

Indeed, this is the main problem I run into. We have to scale up capacity before the traffic can be redirected or you basically double the scope of the outage briefly. Which involves multiple layers of capacity bringup -- ASG brings up new nodes, then HPA brings up the new pods.

Affirm has autopay and the loan terms are crystal clear. I certainly could structure my payments of the credit card like that but out of sight out of mind.

And the answer is because I am only 98% a rational human being. The other 2% is a weird vain conceited animal that doesn’t believe the future exists who wants shiny things and he wants them yesterday. I’m lucky my income has increased faster than my desire for more stuff, at least.

But to be fair, that number has improved quite a bit! In my 20s I was literally insane. Like, I took out student loans and lost all the money playing high stakes blackjack (Yes I realize that is absolutely insane).

At some point I realized the future is an actual place that really exists and have been trying to be more courteous to future me. Mostly after having children and not wanting them to live a horrible life because of me.
Show HN: TRS-GPT – ChatGPT client/server for the TRS-80
Hi there HN community. I'm excited to show my personal project -- an open-source code and hardware approach that connects my 1980's TRS-80 Model III computer to an OpenAI server. The TRS-80 can hold a chat session with OpenAI, and it's all very retro feeling. There were challenges along the way, as the approach to interfacing between ancient hardware and modern software interface wasn't immediately available. Please see https://github.com/druid77/trs-gpt for all the details, and let me know if you have any ideas for improvements. For example, adding support for voice.

Sure and so is speeding, double parking, not stopping at stop signs and failing to signal, but the cars still have to deal with that.

I'm not condoning the protestors but failure to deal with this (and other similar things... Minor mechanical trouble, birds shitting on sensors, brushing snow off windshield) is a real problem for autonomous cars.

They decided to use every routing tool available at least once in their setup, so they can't do this. But there is no explanation in the blog about why they use so many platforms and so many routing tools. Sounds to me like they got themselves into a mess and decided to continue on that path.
Yes. to put it a bit bluntly, you are using a very generic google search and being blind to nuance.

us-east-1 does have more problems than other zones due to a variety of reasons, but it rarely (ie, once a few years) goes down as a whole. As long as you're in several AZs within us-east-1, the impact of most outages should not take you down completely. In the context of the comment you are replying to, your google search links are lazy and fail to see the big picture.
> Are there any downsides doing this though?

I have a different question for you, which is: what are the upsides? If you're doing because you think it's fun to share interesting stuff say that, but let's be clear about it.
Burning something is not speech. It is an expression, yes, but a destructive and demeaning one. It's time to move on from thinking that burning things needs government protection. We've run the experiment and no public good has resulted.

Agree. The problem with rustcrypto at the moment (or by design) is that there’s no TLS
It even pains me to see they're suffering from so many own goals. And it's unfortunately reflected in the poor experience using the Slack client. Not to mention the multiple deprecated bot/integration APIs with such bad feature parity between all the different ways to integrate your own tooling into Slack.
As an expat who used to work in California and now works in the Netherlands, tax wise it's about the same. With the 30% ruling + a lower overall income I've actually been able to offload a lot of stock and diversify into real estate without being over taxed. So ymmv

no, CalFIRE was excoriated after the 2017 season. The upper management including the Chief were.. uh... "fired"

Meanwhile, a Sacramento appointee with some connection to the native population has to sit in committee meetings for the last five years, while very very slow changes are made. The political class in California wants to extract votes at every meeting, so they emphasize "first people" every third sentance.

Who determines if someone is a criminal or not? Do we have a perfect mechanism for it? Can we trust the algorithm to not harass or harm innocent people? Unfortunately no.

There is a reason police need a warrant from a judge before they are allowed to search or detain someone. Same should apply to AI systems.
I would like to know that as well because last time I've read about this scenario, the x86 version of the app (IIRC golang app) was running almost twice as fast, so pound for pound wasn't worth the switch.

Are they all just AWS resellers?
Lots of teams use Slack as well. Oddly enough, I didn't mind Chime as an end-user, but 6 years ago their API features were somewhat lacking.
I feel like a lot of the tech industry misses the forest for the trees. They try to hire based on signals unrelated to the actual work - which is due to a combination of poor incentives, wrong skills and poor leadership that defines a hire/employee.

Here are all the poor incentive systems in tech companies:

1. Technical sourcers look for keywords in resumes - they are already biased towards prestige such as top schools or past employers. Root Cause: Recruiters are incentivized to meet a hiring number. They don't want to take chances. They just want to meet their quarterly quota. Poor incentive system. No ownership among anyone in management to improve this.

2. Hiring process looks for leetcode ability - biased towards people who have time to practice these problems. These problems are completely unrelated to the actual work. Hiring managers have no incentive to do any better. Heck, managers are not skilled enough to do any better. Poor incentives. No ownership of this among hiring managers.

3. Performance reviews based on poor definition of performance - biased towards whatever garbage management is measuring, often secretly. Management is not skilled enough to understand projects, so they rely on proxies such as lines of code, number of commits. Engineers know these are poor proxies.

Companies try to take biases out of this process by inserting hiring committees - who use these same properties to identify a new hire, or make a promotion decision. All they did was add a layer of bureaucracy by removing the power of hire/promo away from the actual manager.

Ultimately, this industry is so delusional that they forget to ask simple questions such as "Is this person the hire we need? Will they be able to contribute? Do they have the potential to contribute?"

And for performance reviews, asking questions such as, "Are our projects going to yield the right outcomes for the company? Have we staffed people into working towards these outcomes? Are they on track to achieving these outcomes? If they achieve it, can they be promoted for performing well?"

That's all there is. But it requires good "leadership" that I have found to be missing in tech companies.
We don't even have a name for it now, that's how bad it is IMO. All those mere vessels relaying what "the average user" or "the industry" requires, which we should most humbly submit to. The way "disrupt" was thrown around, or the kool-aid required to believe that continuing down the route consolidation and inequality will somehow result in universal basic income. People who fly to 15 conferences a year rolling their eyes at anyone refusing to understand nuclear energy is the way to solve climate change.

This is currently what my wife and I are doing. We're both American citizens, but we're 2 years from naturalization in the Netherlands. Through rental properties we've invested in here we're super close to FIRE. I took all my FAANG bucks and invested here, I'm literally just working my job to get naturalization + partial pension
In this case, breakage doesn't seem to affect you paying them or any of the money-making parts of their business. It might fail at an ordering step, I don't know. All online ordering for Micky-D's here is done through third-parties.

There’s something about seeing videos like this that breaks my brain.

Science has learned so much about biology, but whatever knowledge I’ve gained is dwarfed by the sheer awe and wonder I feel when trying to contemplate what it is that I just saw here.

The forces of nature converging to bring forth life from the energy released by the Big Bang billions of years ago.

It boggles the mind - this mind that is somehow conscious of itself and which came into existence by an even more mind bendingly complex process.

Being alive is unspeakably amazing.
It’s kinda like React in that way. And it’s similar in that newer devices run it well enough that devs might think they don’t have performance issues at all, but when using an older iPhone you can start to see it stutter.
Provocateurs testing the limits of free speech is nothing new. In the US, we had the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at funerals for soldiers, for example. After a while their gimmick gets stale, they stop getting media attention, and eventually they move onto something else.

The far bigger problem is people who think it is appropriate to respond to political speech with terrorism and murder. Hasn't Denmark learned this lesson already, after the Mohammed cartoon controversy?

I've been able to leverage our FAANG bucks into a lot more real estate over here in 3 years. To get the same amount of property in the bay it would have taken me more than 10 years even making FAANG money.
Even if I did, I'm not sure that would be possible? I thought the idea was to ship stable versions of packages for each major release.
> If there is a subject where that is the case, I do not know what it would be. Once they're past the age of 7 or 8, most or all children are capable of what they would be at older ages. I don't think, for instance, that an 8 yr old learning to read is slower at it than one learning that for the first time at age 14.

From personal experience: I first encountered differential equations in highschool, while preparing for physics Olympiad. I could solve basic equations, but I didn't understand what I was doing and for example the damped oscillator equation was mistifying. Fast forward to university, in the first diffential equation class, everything made perfect sense and I found it super easy. There was probably at least two years between the two stories.
Same here. The only thing worse than being preached at by a human is a machine doing it on behalf of some corporation.
The common denominator amongst these causes would seem to be that people turn off their critical thinking abilities and value a commitment to some ideology more than being smart about things. I thought that was obvious, so I used the phrase from the video "hooliganism, youth culture, and religious fanaticism" as a synonym for this.
PIR is usually about preventing the server from knowing what subset of data a specific client is retrieving, not preventing the server from knowing the contents of the database. So i don't really see the applicability.
I'm not really sure what it even means to be 100% sequenced.

Does that mean that every possible polymorphism is accounted for?

Does that mean that 100% of possible polymorphic sites are known?

What about weird edge cases. You have a tandem repeat that is known, but in some small population of humans, there's two tandem repeats with an island of something else in there.
Reason not mentioned in the comments already there: NVIDIA has explicitly stated in the past that a lot of the graphical performance in games is expected to come from DLSS. You may have noticed that the raw power of cards is not going up as much as it used to (especially on the lower end), well NVIDIA is arguing that the performance gains will be made up by DLSS.

When it was initially released it required a lot of interaction between NVIDIA and the developer to fine tune the model to the particular game, and most didn't care enough to do it. Now I think there are some ways for developers to mess around with DLSS on their own but due to the state of modern game development most simply don't care enough about it.

So a supposedly very large advantage of NVIDIA cards simply doesn't exist in most titles as of today(most titles do have the DLSS option in the settings, but in about 80% of the titles the differences are negligible).

You are choosing teams. What are your employees choosing? In my experience teams is a terrible mess and a company using it would exclude me from working for the company because they very likely don’t give a crap about the day to day experience of the employee.

Good point on the benefits of reading bad code. One of the best developers I've worked with said he'd become a good developer by refactoring a lot of bad code.
Rust had pretty clear architecture conditionals. Not hard to just specify software for architectures without HW acceleration or where it has not been implemented yet.
> Becoming independent and doing what you truely want to do without having to worry about opportunity cost, monetary compensation, or societal repercussions for "wrongthink".

Ironic considering there's very few paths to FIRE in the US (work in tech, be born rich). Whereas the average person in the EU has a safety net that "independent" people in the US have to slave for.
Indeed. I expected it to be included before reading.

But I would also expect JPEG-XL to score worse than Webp and old JPEG at the moment because it is newer and implementations could therefore yet be less optimised.
The terms are mushy, but I'd say any automated statistics count as ML.
Yes, and the sanctions put by the cowardly west only applied to companies operating in occupied Crimea. So then Russians businesses had spin-off subsidiaries operating in Crimea under different names so the holding companies wouldn't fall under western sanctions, making the sanctions basically worthless and just a smokescreen to continue doing business as usual with Russia.

Paris and the surrounding area is densely populated. The rest of France is very rural overall it comes in at 105 per km^2. England, in contrast is almost as densely populated as India (434 per km^2). There are a lot more places to put things in France. As a consequence land in France goes for about €6k per h, while in England it's closer to €30k.

So - there's that.
If you have enough scale that could be a problem, cookie cutter more smaller AZs so any one outage is less of numerator of capacity over the denominator of scale.

Worth noting that requiring teams to use 3 AZs is a good idea because you get "n" shaped patterns instead of mirror shaped patterns, which have very different characteristics for resilience and continuity.
Yeah, a lot of schools do a poor job of tying math to practical applications. And no those absurd word problems in elementary algebra are not what I mean. Calculus, for example, makes way more sense if it's presented alongside physics.

Patents are irrelevant - if you think OLEDs don't have any patents then I have a bridge to sell you.

The real problem is that E-Ink is a niche product that lacks economy of scale, because LCDs do everything an EPD can do and more.

I don't know if it's been patented, but E-Ink's recent Gallery 3 screen is pretty amazing, they got multi-dye color screens to refresh fast enough to use in an e-note. That's insane, that's an order of magnitude reduction! It might actually make color e-notes a viable product category.
Interestingly India is 435!
They failed to maximize the number of spaces in the lot that can accomodate a reasonably-sized automobile?
You're doing it right.
I would imagine that (as in any business) you want to offer the best possible terms early in the product lifecycle when it's subject to the most attention, and you want new adopters to be comfortable with it. Then you can add fees and penalties later on once you have a stream of customers dependent on it.
Thank you. So many pay wall links these days.
Why not ovh's option called kimsufi or not Hetzner?
To me the implication is that Denmark's politicians think they can make this all go away, rather than escalate it. It's harder to stand by principles and slowly make headway in addressing people trying to undermine or attack those principles than it is to just give in. It requires being able to enunciate just why those principles matter, even when they're inconvenient.

In practice Denmark could launch public campaigns aimed both at explaining what's been going on, and how ultimately it has nothing to do with Denmark.
The big commercial selling point of E-ink is that it should be able to survive zero power.

I assume that's why its first killer app has been pricetags. A store with 5000 items each requiring a LCD pricetag would be constantly replacing little batteries or having to reprogram units if they popped out of a plug or rail-basewd power system.

I think some of the interest from the hobbyist brows is less about that and more about other aspects of the technology-- it has a bit of a distinct look and excellent full-sun readability.

A hypothetical nonbacklit high res grayscale LCD would have some similar properties and might be more viable at small scale; I know they're making basically that in small sizes for use in resin 3D printers.
The demise of NoSQL is greatly exaggerated. It's past it's hype cycle, and that's fine.
