If it was me I would have still had that large stash of bitcoins I sold off too soon.

I'd also still have all that Tesla, AMD and Nvidia stock

In fact, a 10 year prison sentence would have me walking out with tens of millions of dollars.

I could just imagine, blowing the dust off my laptop and logging into my Schwab account... My Tesla holdings alone would be like 7 million, lol

Yeah, I don’t like the game either. Not at all.

How can we change it though? Looking at history, changes come through either (usually bloody) revolution, or through politics themselves.

So unfortunately, someone needs to play the game in order to change it.
> You are entering a legally binding contract with the seller. They must oblige or else refund you.

Where does it say that?

> Think of it like preordering from a local store.

No, again: Kickstarter is not a store. How is it even possible to have this level of misunderstanding when it says exactly that on the linked page.

https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005028834-...

"At the same time, backers must understand that Kickstarter is not a store. When you back a project on Kickstarter, you’re helping create something new — not pre-ordering something that already exists. As Kickstarter does not offer refunds, we encourage backers to investigate the project idea first, to vet the creator thoroughly, and to assess the inherent risk of the project for themselves before making a pledge.

There’s always a chance something could happen that prevents the creator from being able to finish the project as promised. "

And that's from the current terms of service, the previous ones (which were in effect when this project launched) were even more lenient. And that's also why it is called a 'pledge' and not a 'sale'.

What a ridiculous assertion. Nobody forces you to drink that sweet sweet nectar.

Should we legislate everything that might be unhealthy? There are plenty of nanny states who will do that for you, I don't live in one.

> Chinchilla scaling was only good for academics

I don't know if it's only good of academics, the point as the paper (as it says) is a scaling law for optimal loss given a fixed compute budget. By design it doesn't address inference costs and isn't a recipe for "how you should train a LLM for your use case".

If you're serving LLMs in a low throughput high cost scenario optimizing loss at the expense of inference cost may very well be your goal, or if you cant pay up front for 25x compute.
That's what struck me too about the article: tens of thousands of newly arrived tech workers complaining about the lack of a tech scene and moving. They're treating "scene" as something that should just be there for them to consume, rather than something that they could potentially create. They might look at each other and say "Hey, we are the tech scene, all it takes is some socializing."

If anything, that statistic (roughly one per person) doesn't inspire confidence. The correct takeaway isn't "wow, so few of the guns in America are used to kill people." It's "wow, there are so many guns that anybody can have one, regardless of whether they are fit to."

There was a time, when I was so fed up of the Calibre being so bloated, while all I needed was just a convert capabilities, that I started to rip off parts of the Calibre, clean it up, make things simpler, removing unnecessary things and trying to understand what is happening behind the conversion, resulting with ebook-converter[1], which simply do the conversion, without all the management/downloading rss/editing/what have you. It is usable right now, but I'd say it's still somewhere in between alpha and beta stage. You could give it a shot.

>Europe where literally nobody has guns except police and heavy criminals

Europe? Literally lots of people have guns, where I live, from 01 Sept there's plenty of gunshots ringing out scaring one of my dogs. I know two people in the uk that have shotguns (police checked, locked away in the attic). There are many ww2 firearms in circulation (Serbia, I believe just had an amnesty), so 'literally' is incorrect.
The difference is: guns aren't common, and certainly aren't often carried, and most definitely not openly (apart from farmers and hunters, but the gun must be unloaded and broken(.
My fave is talking to Americans that 'can't wait to get back home so I can carry my gun, for protection, it's my right'. Not a single one of them has been threatened whilst here. Nor have they been threatened in the States....but it's their right to protect themselves from the government.
I always ask, if their government started being 'oppressive', how long would either sides' ammunition last? Not a single person I've spoken to has more than a few days ammo available.
Serious question as someone who doesn't live in the US: where do (lower salary) non-tech workers live in SF?

Apart from the data processing problems already mentioned, there is also a possible bias towards locally-known artists. For Denmark, one of the top scorers is Niels Bjerre, who is fairly obscure in Denmark at large. But if he was well liked in a number of smaller towns that were growing at the right time, he could get streets named for him many times over, while the bar in big cities would be much higher.
> I fail to see how pointing the finger at chromebooks specifically is more than a distraction.

They have a built-in kill switch. After pre-set number of years (from launch and not from purchase) they become useless to schools.

Macs and PCs only die when they die, not when they hit their cut-off date. At that point the other devices have resale values and 'expired' Chromebooks don't.

> There is a bigger problem at play here, a massive culture of consumption.

Then pointing the finger at Chromebooks is extremely relevant, as enforced lifetime limits lead to (relatively) rapidly replaced devices with no future beyond landfill and more consumption.

But as you say, there should be a threshold you don't want to cross with antioxidants, and supplements can easily do that.

"Registered to a different person" -- for the most part, guns are not registered in the USA. Was this in a state or city with a registry for AR-15s?

"Loaded straight into fairly skinny jeans without checking the safety." -- Glocks do not have safeties.

The idea with most newer striker-fired pistols, like the Glock, is that the gun goes in a hard-sided (molded nylon or kydex) holster. If it's not in the holster, it's ready to fire. If that is not safe in the situation you are in, put it back in the holster.

Rifles, shotguns, &c, are never holstered; so if it is time to fire the weapon, you deactivate the safety; otherwise, it is left on safe. Because pistols have the extra step of being holstered, it turns out be work well in practice not to have the intermediate unholstered-but-safe step.
With that argument, why buy anything ever when you could put it in the stock market?

I have never given emacs a fair shot, so I can't compare the two. Neovim makes it easier to get modern editor features like treesitter and lsp support integrated into the editor. The Lua api seems to have been very well received, so the plugin ecosystem for neovim is thriving. It has also attracted a lot of people outside of the original vim niche (including me!) recently, which means there are more plugin developers who care about how things look and feel to use.

There are certainly some constrains on what plugins can achieve due to nvim being exclusively a TUI, but in my opinion the pros of the editor outweigh the cons.

As to what makes me choose neovim over vscode with a vim plugin, it's a combination of things. One thing I love is that neovim is extremely easy to configure. I also enjoy that everything follows vim rules, rather than some things like file trees or consoles having their own unique rules. I have also become dependent on some vim plugins that don't exist in vscode.
Jas Steen goes from 200 to 127, without the equivalent.
I suppose ultimately the thing to test is application performance, (assuming you don't care too much about disk space). Because it depends on the access pattern. If reading and writing contiguously, then large record sizes (even if unaligned) with high compression ratio might be fastest. but if it's more weighted to highly randomised, then the larger ZFS record sizes might actually cause read and write amplification and a lower throughput even if the overall on-disk size is smaller (assuming it doesn't all fit in memory in which case this is all moot).

Another new thing that's possible with innoDB these days is that you can actually change the default 16k page size, i.e you could align innoDB to your preferred ZFS recordsize if that makes sense for your application.
Interesting among the points is the eastern insistence on cleaning the mind, which boosts an objective grasp of reality, which helps decision making.
This is only logical, and it's actually amazing that ISPs has not really been able to charge per megabyte yet. The reason it's logical is because cloud providers all have ingress and egress fees for network traffic. So the cloud providers are making a killing in this arena simply by being the go-between for any cloud-based enterprise. The ISPs are starting to see this represent a lost opportunity for them, and they want a piece of the pie. It would not surprise me at all if this ingress/egress fee structure becomes standard for ISPs, especially business connections.
Ahh wow, thanks. Indeed, I do use 1.1.1.1.
I'm not a designer but why the blog post & linked redesigned homepage font feels off?

I don't know what I dislike about it. HN font seems better to read. About the homepage:

- Is it all the excess space around the text?

- Is it that "Work Highlights" isn't aligned with anything?

- Is it the background switching that makes feel in 1 case there is a different font or font weight?

- Actually there is 3 background colors and in 1 case the font is even different color: white.

- The "Currently" feels a different font size than anything else. Actually it feels a different font for me.

- And it is not the same color as previous headers.

- The bullet points feel stuffed... or I don't know... the text above is different line height. Or maybe the excess space (doesn't fill the image height)?

I don't know what's right or wrong. Maybe I just like consistency :)

Sorry for the unsolicited part, it's more like I want to learn more myself :)

While I agree with that when I need twenty nails, if I needed twenty million nails I would certainly want to buy them by the pound, instead of counting them one by one.

For very large numbers, it is always easier to count them by measuring either the total mass or the total volume of the items, instead of counting them, and then compute the numbers by dividing to the mass or volume of an individual item.

That is why in all chemical reactions the recipes are given by measuring the ingredients in grams or milliliters, even if what really matters are the numbers of molecules that must be combined. Because counting one by one the molecules is hopeless, the numbers of molecules are typically expressed as multiples of the Avogadro number, which is the number of molecules that would be contained in one gram of a substance whose molecular mass would be 1/12 of that of carbon 12.

So not only the nails, but also all chemical substances are usually counted by the gram, by the pound or by any other mass unit.
@nojvek -- also... are you seeing people in shopping malls open carrying or are you seeing news articles on TV or online talking about people in shopping malls open carrying? Also, my personal experience is you're MUCH more likely to see someone open carrying at the feed store in the rural parts of the country than at a proper shopping mall in the urban core. (I don't have enough experience with the burbs to render an opinion.) Though there are places in the exurbs and rural America where you probably want to have a firearm to defend yourself against animals or people with foul intent.
Maybe; the cost of semiconductors went up quite a bit recently.
Many years ago the house I was living in had cable (foxtel, Australia) connected, but the residents who had paid for it had moved out and were no longer paying for it, therefore it sat as an unused plug in the wall for a good couple of years.

I got one of those old "TV cards", so you could hook up an antenna and have TV on your computer (yeah, this was before "internet" was better than TV for moving picture entertainment) and had heard about software that could decode foxtel signal.

After a lot of futzing about, and failed attempts, it started working well enough to be watchable - although most of the content was shit, it was foxtel after all.

My point being - the signal is sent through the cable either way. Whether there's a device at the end of it or not. Equipment, hardware, personnel, power was provided by me to get it working. The previous residents paid for the connection of the cable itself. The data is all sent down the pipe whether or not someone was watching it at the far end, just due to the nature of cable at the time.

I get your electricity analogy though, but I really don't know if it applies to the data being sent down the cable. I doubt it cost "faceless them" any extra as my understanding was that the cable was a shared signal by the street (or some other small-ish communal size).

Once I got it working, I mostly lost interest :)
Wow, that is a very tortured re-imagining of reality. The buyer in this case needs a certain amount of land at a certain price to make their project make sense. If that amount of land is larger than the average size of land for sale, then they have to leg into the total land purchase by buying chunks of land over time until they have amalgamated their total land requirement. It is entirely the seller's fault because they are the ones demanding a very large markup on the previous fair market value of their land because they know the buyer has already spent millions to hundreds of millions and will potentially lose their shirt if the project fails. This is the textbook definition of market power abuse. The end result of which is an artificial limitation on projects that need more than the average amount of land for sale, less output from society and all of us being poorer for it. Also, you can't really budget for this kind of abuse because the seller is taking into account what they think you budgeted and trying to capture all of it. It's a death spiral for large projects playing that game and it's why some decent secrecy is needed in situations like these. There is no situation where a land owner getting a large payout for holding out is a good thing for society.
If you have game pass I suggest you try it. Give it a couple hours, just mess around with side quests and do a few constellation missions. The story is good, which is all that matters to me, at least.
man I gotta say, I know this isn't your fault because you're just working with the material provided, but - it sucks that so much of the art subjects boil down to "cute/pretty/beautiful girl(s)"

it's hard for me to decide which styles really tickle my fancy, unless I get to see cute boys kitted out in it. endless variations of "quirky japanese girl uwu" gets old awfully fast.

The notion of a pre Westphalian nation is itself a little flawed, so definitionally it doesn’t even really make sense to pose the metric as such, let alone measure it.
>What, so [pulling] the trigger automatically disengages the safety?

Correct. There's a few other internal safeties to help ensure it doesn't go off unless someone is pulling the trigger and (hopefully) intending to fire.

It's still drop safe and not going to go off by itself, but if you fire it (and there's a round in the chamber), it's going off.

>As a non-gun-person that seems like an insane design decision

There's certainly tradeoffs. It's simpler and you're not going to accidentally forget to disengage a safety at the worst possible time (when you actually need to be using a gun), but it does increase the risk when improperly handling the firearm which is a risk not everyone is cool with for obvious reasons (and even experienced operators (incl. Law Enforcement being generous, which largely carry Glocks) are human and can make mistakes).
