Of course I have proof. I have more proof than you'll ever find for the universe.

What is it? I think there's a lot of proof for the universe.

What an outrageous falsehood and strawman to tell people we don't have proof of God or faith.

Then where is it?

You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope that your life is not so empty and miserable that you never find out who God is.

When you believe something, say you have evidence, never show it, then try to shame people for asking and insult them, that's usually called a detachment from reality.
Where is $4500/yr "extremely high?" We are basically middle-of-the-road for taxes in our area and it's over $11k/yr.
As somebody in a similar situation, with this new information/perspective, what are you going to do about it? Quit your job and have unlimited free time for hobbies/travel/no responsibilities other than significant other/your own health/children (optional)?
All of that is included in the initial price of the machine. There is no real cost associated when running the machine itself (outside of when a preamp or pulse generator burns but that's rare).
Don't want to awaken any sleeping dogs here, but what the author describes reminds me more of social anxiety and/or self-esteem issues than introversion.

I'm an introvert. I can sit still and not speak to anyone for weeks and be fine. Happier even. Having no-one around recharges me like nothing else. The reverse is true as well which makes me incredibly popular at parties /s.

When I was young(er), a networking event (or social event of any kind tbh) would have scared me to no end and have me act akward. I'm older now and through the grace of aging I give substantially less fucks. Suddenly these things are no longer the problem they once were. My introversion hasn't changed, in fact I think it got worse.

I have somewhat of a test for this. I think about or even just approach a random person and try to strike a conversation as authentically as I'm able. If even the thought gets me nervous, that's anxiety, not introversion. In my experience a bout of introversion-hunger will feel like "I need to space out now". Like I can't even be bothered with anxiety anymore.

Getting rid of anxiety has a massive ROI. Getting rid of introversion won't work and will probably backfire. At least, that's my experience.
The Russian space program is a real mess and a shadow of what it once was.
Transcripts of what? I think stories are special, and I wouldn't lump them together with "all text".
Ask HN: What technical problem of a video game do you want to be solved?
Personally I don't care how high fidelity it gets if it suffers from visible popping and billboarding / noticeable LoD based changes.

Probably impossible unless you talk extraordinarily fast. 1 billion seconds is over 30 years but most of the numbers would take 3-4 seconds to pronounce.

If anyone is interested the whole series can be watched on Youtube for free. Altogether it is not that great, nevertheless I find the meta story about the pilot fascinating (a show about conspiracy theories "predicts" the 9/11 attack).

Flagger(s): already the articles from the Economist which I proposed earlier should show how the matter is relevant to intellectual interest.
IIRC terrorists using planes to attack buildings is a common threat scenario for infrastructure projects like nuclear power plants. However usually this refers to small civilian planes like Czesna. Not large passenger airliners like a Boeing 767. Let alone two of them.
I have to wonder if this comment is made in good faith -

Are cars and other goods tailored to the needs of local markets?

Are they adjustable for different people's shapes and sizes?

How long was it before car chairs were adjustable to be driven by women, and how much longer until regulators started considering women-sized crash dummies?

Sure, your skin color doesn't mean much to a car, but it does to an automatic faucet, a skin-toned band aid, face login (or whatever apple calls it). There are obvious benefits to hiring or doing studies within your target market.
I don’t know why this journalist says the industry needs to “level” with consumers about the death of Moore’s law. NVIDIA has been announcing the end of Moore’s law at least since 2017 [1].

If my choice is "pay almost nothing, get no retirement" and "pay half your salary, get no retirement" then I'm 100% for the US model. Too bad I don't have that choice.
Thanks for the correction! Hopefully they get their act together soon.
As sibling pointed out, to be fair you'd want to somehow restrict arch/ down to one only architecture.
I don't feel that Rust is actually well designed. The borrow checker and lack of GC makes it well suited to the tasks that traditionally one would use C or C++ for, and it is definitely safer than those language.

But in terms of overall design it doesn't feel very cohesive, and priority is put in odd places. For example, error handling is an area where people almost always resort to 3rd party libraries. That, to me, having to rely on third party libraries for such basic features is a sign of a serious design flaw. Meanwhile, "clever" things like zero cost map and filter are prioritized and in the language for a long time.

Overall it feels like a language that prioritizes "clever" features at the expense of boring but basic needs. Also any criticism is met with hostility rather than accommodation.

It's a fine language, but I can't say that I love it.
If you look back historically as industrialization took place birth rates plummeted. So far this as been true in every culture that has industrialized. The industrial revolution is ongoing and much of the world will be "modern" within a few decades.

Not only that, there is evidence birth rates fell when regions were conquered or captured by the Romans and Greeks. Birth rates fell during the end of golden ages in China, I believe birth rates fell during the renaissance.

I believe there is some limiting factor in humans. We paradoxically make more children during bad times and stop producing them when times are good. We wouldn't be alone, crickets have genes that respond to cricket population levels, changing behavior, I think we have something similar.

Also lots of environmental stuff is messing with fertility, plastics, etc.
Living at 2/5-th of the expenses of those retired in the developed world today does not seem so tragic as some make it sound. In fact, I already live at around 40% of the average expenses of my peer group with little observable decrease in quality of life.
My property taxes, maintenance costs and insurance all go up every year too, so ownership costs are also not fixed
Audible is $7.95 a month and you can listen to whatever book you want (like Spotify). If you’re not willing to go even with that in order to listen to an actual human, then maybe yeah, you can try AI.

AI Models as Private Microservice
This project provides high-level functionality on top of the popular LLMs, allowing you to decouple the models and switch between them based on your use case.

The available functionality:

- Chatbot: define the provider as chatGPT or llama chat.

- Evaluation: Run evaluation across multiple models by sending a query and array of target answers. This will call the models in the background, generate the vector, and compare the distances. This supports cohere, openai, replicate, and sage maker models.

- Semantic Search: Apply search beyond the keywords using vectors.

- Direct models: directly access the model providers like Sage maker llama or hugging face.

- Offline model loader: under development.

The micro service published to docker hub:

```

docker pull intellinode/intelliserver:latest

docker run -p 80:80 -e API_KEY=$API_KEY -e ADMIN_KEY=$ADMIN_KEY intellinode/intelliserver:latest

```

I am working to add more features to the micro-service, Let me know which functions you think going to be useful.
I believe the conventional wisdom here is that UDS performs better because of fewer context switches and copies between userspace and kernelspace.
Someone who was not physically capable of joining the military before they relaxed the physical requirements may be able to handle the mental load, but not necessarily the physical load. That presents just as many problems and dangers to fellow soldiers as someone with a lower IQ.
If you are going to use the SPA series from Cisco/Linksys/Sipura, just be careful to not expose them to the internet or use them on sensitive networks - there’s a really gnarly remote firmware flashing bug in them.

The IRS Is Using AI to Target the Ultra-Wealthy for Tax Violations
Yes. Fundamentals did not change.
In my experience refactoring and making things public is an entirely reasonable thing to do!

I often find that when I have a very complicated structure with lots of behavior, there’s some other cohesive unit of functionality living inside. That part is often private, but extracting it into a separate structure with public interfaces makes complete sense. From the perspective of consumers of the original class, all of this is still implementation detail that can’t be directly accessed. But there’s nothing wrong about accessing that underlying bit directly through its own public interface.

It's somewhat ironic all the billionaires are about space and mars and shit - like, ok, super in-hospitable, go for it. While we should be building our space fortresses and geo domes on earth to keep the elements out, and survive on some kind of lab food.
I'd say X-Files largely survived because of the dynamic of the characters. A lot of the episodes were not very good except for the interplay between the two. But in the absence of good writing you definitely needed Mulder and Scully and the spin-off didn't have them.
If you want to get a handle on how the War on Terror started and how everybody felt about it, I highly recommend listening to some of the live radio shows from that morning, such as the Howard Stern show. You look back now and question how we could've let it get so out of hand, but watching people react to it in real time takes you right back to the emotions it triggered. I don't think I've ever felt that degree of collective fury before. That week, many of the people I know would've been happy to launch nuclear weapons at every population center in Afghanistan and the capitals of every nation that'd so much as looked at the United States funny in the previous ten years.
Am I right that this doesn't include state pensions or social security? Not sure how it works in America, but in Europe it would at least reduce the amount you need to withdraw each year.
As mentioned in one of the comments in those threads, a lot of the code in an OS is device drivers, and I'd say that device drivers in the PDP-11 were really simple. You didn't have the multiple layers of serial bus such as PCIe, USB, etc. There was no multiprocessor support, very simple filesystems, probably less than 10% of the POSIX API we know and swear at today was implemented.

Simple I/O was one reason why DEC's minicomputers held their own against the IBM 360, it was easy to make your own Unibus peripherals, whereas peripherals for the 360 required a highly complex "channel" processor; bulk I/O was crazy fast on the 360 but interrupt handling was slow: the PDP-11 could handle individual keystrokes from a serial terminal whereas the 360 would wait until you'd filled out a whole screen of data and hit the SEND key.

I never used Unix on a PDP-11 but I did use RSTS/E and OS of that generation did not dynamically find hardware, instead you would have to rebuild an OS image with the configuration for your setup built in. Thus the PDP-11 expected a control terminal and bootstrap device to be installed on certain ports and you would load some software to build an OS image that you would actually boot up. (Also true of the 360)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSTS/E

That dynamism is itself a huge complexity source in modern OS, see Linus' Torvalds comments here

https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7279

and particularly what he has said about ACPI there and in other places

https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/acpi.html

Before Linux it was common in an OS class to write a boot loader, that was about all you could do in a semester. After Linux you can write a few kernel modules and learn a lot more. If you tried to write a boot loader today it might be an assignment for two semesters for the whole class because today's boot loaders are crazy complex to what they were in the day but you do get some functionality (think of what it takes to be able to boot a live linux distro off a USB stick that has a FAT file system off it.)
It's shocking to consider that any fee system is ever equitable, because people vary drastically in their wealth, and I hope that's not an assertion that requires a citation.

An equitable system would involve each citizen receiving an equal number of parking tokens annually.
I've used a dishwasher since the 1980's and in my eyes they have only gotten better. I find dishwashers to be one of the most amazing, labor saving and environmentally friendly advancements of modernity. I love dishwashers.

More specifically, with the earlier dishwashers I had to really scrub the dishes before I put them in. This is still important as I don't like getting leftover cat food on my coffee mugs, but the extent I have to do it is significantly less. Nowadays I scrape my plates into the trash and just put them in the dishwasher. Whereas for the first dishwasher my parents had in the 1980's you really had to scrub dishes clean before loading them.

They've only gotten better in my experience. I really don't understand what this article is complaining about?
This sounds good in theory but what are the options?

1. You can forgive the taxes in which case everyone else in the tax jurisdiction just pays this person's taxes indirectly.

2. You can lien the property and pass the bill on to the estate, in which case you're either having the heirs pay the taxes (and late fees, and interest) with extra steps, or if no heirs the buyer pays less for the property and the end result is basically #1.
> This is my schizo catastrophizing

You misspelled psychopathic.

Drastically increasing the retirement age only makes sense to us keyboard jockeys who rarely even see physical labor up close. Data shows that people in physical jobs start to break down physically in their mid 40s. It's silly to think that these people are going to work until they are 75.

> Another solution is that we kill all old people

I mean, let's be frank. We're talking about killing poor old people. Have you looked at Congress lately?

We need to ask, is our economic system here to serve the human species, or was the human species put on on this planet to serve our (current) economic system? Since modern capitalism has only existed since the Dutch East India Company, I think the answer is obvious.
> And that had absolutely zero effect on the market share of the browsers.

Did it not help FF to gain initial market share?

> Besides especially on mobile, I would be pissed if when I first used my phone I would have to use my (hypothetically limited) cellular data to download something like a browser.

No difference from the status quo then as you have to download multiple browser updates per month anyway (and in fact as the first thing after initial setup), and the reason is the incredible bloatedness and lack of scope of browsers.

> And even if you don’t use Chrome on Android, you’re still using Android - by Google.

This is about the web as an open platform relied upon for essential public services by any citizen (payment, school, administration, health care, and so on); no idea what that has to with using Android or other Google products.
I imagine the competition to be fierce.
Maybe you don't but most people use the central search feature of Windows, which opens Edge and Bing on any web result. If you click on links in the most used email client (Outlook) and business chat app (Teams) Edge opens [1]. How can this not be an outrage?

> modern dishwashers don’t clean dishes or cutlery well. Such is not surprising when hand dishwashing relies largely on physical scrubbing to remove food particles, the machine version relies on spraying hot water and heat, such that less water and less heat produce less cleaning over a longer period of time.

That isn't my experience at all. Modern dishwashers are a miracle; I put in dishes without touching them, and they come out clean. Also, the dishwashers use three forms forms of energy to separate dirt from surfaces: 'Kinetic' (the water), chemical (soap), heat (which of course catalyzes chemistry).

A lot of this article is just partisan stuff: Competitive Enterprise Institute, anti-regulation rants, "environmental zealots", etc., and of course 'Great Again'.
Show HN: I built Wuf, mobile notifications for all your needs
Hi, I am Luca

software engineer and indie hacker.

For one of my SaaS products, I had the need to add mobile push notifications to send specific messages to the users (like new messages received, support requests, and so on).

But that meant building and releasing a mobile app for iOS and Android.

So I thought that I could create a third-party product, to provide exactly that service.

The users install the Wuf app.
They send you their User Key generated upon sign-up.
You send them push mobile notifications via HTTP POST.

I'd love to hear your feedback on it, and if you want to become an early user, I'd be happy to welcome you

the little domed areas we will call cities will be walkable. so there's that!
How many people here under 35 would really stop working if they had $1.5m-$2m?

With the recent bout of inflation/concerns about government's ability to maintain debt-to-GDP ratio + interest payments, I'd be worried that you're pretty much forced to constantly be worried about having to return to the workforce in some capacity (part time) eventually.

Working 20-30 hours a week in whatever industry it takes to make an extra $40k-$50k/yr to get by doesn't sound so bad.

There's something too daunting about the concept of "stop working, instead of seeing your net worth go up, you see it go backwards as you start to pull it/spend it during your otherwise prime earning years" I just can't convince myself is realistic for me (and maybe others) to actually pull off. Talk about online is one thing, but actually do/pull off?
Dunno how you could call any gen with the XX90 series in it "trash", even if the rest of the lineup has issues the fact that level of power and VRAM exists this side of $2000 let alone $10,000 is crazy.

Compare it to the 20XX series where the top of the line card only has 11GB of VRAM, less than the 1080Ti... and the flagship feature "raytracing" just isn't viable at the power of any of those 20XX cards.

That's fair enough. I'm personally a Firefox user and I suggest my friends use it too.

> The researchers randomly changed the “People You May Know” recommendations algorithm that LinkedIn shows its users, so that the prevalence of weaker and stronger connections varied among people on the site. The experiment showed that weaker ties (where a pair of users had only one mutual friend, say) were more likely to lead to job applications and job moves than those where people had 25 mutual friends or more.

Was this research experiment with people's careers and livelihoods done with informed consent of human subjects?
As old people stay healthier, there will be an increasing market of old-people-for-old-people services. Social media & the instant global marketplace have made a lot of new part-time-careers possible.

There's doom and gloom around the end of human labor and the advent of AI/Automation/AGI (call it what you will). But, people's taste ossifies in early-adulthood. Our generation, once old, is going to crave experiences from a pre-AI world, and the only ones with the ability to deliver on it will be fellow millennials.

In my experience, a lot of the FIRE folks are driven by paranoia and a *lack of fulfillment in their present life.*

____________________

I've been fortunate enough to have hit my limits of hedonism. A 5 star hotel relaxes me just as well as a shack. An honest meal is fulfilling irrespective of the Michelin stars to its name. My people welcome me whether I bring chocolate or not; and our conversations are just as warm over lemonade as it may be over fancy whisky.

The hedonistic treadmill is infinite. It's cliche, but all good wisdom sounds like cliche. If you stop looking, you'll find yourself knee deep like low-tide on a beach.

A pursuit, your people, health, a roof and a warm meal. FIRE gives you time, money and access to those 5 things that matter. But, in the absence of them, no amount of $$ FIRE $$ is going to make you happy.

The first world has solved most of its issues. However, we tie happiness to owning more material belongings than our peers. In that case, FIRE will not be promised release It will merely be a moving goal post on the horizon, that keeps you going through an unfulfilling present.
I agree but I think you are lost in the nuance.
Ah, thanks, just went off his description, it was just such a non sequitur in the midst of that interview, need to rewatch!
In fact, we've built a wealth of application-layer features based on OpenAI's API, many of which I believe OpenAI wouldn't necessarily pursue:

- A screenshot library supporting fast search.

- Ask AI optimized for screenshot contexts.

- A Mac screenshot client tool.

- Our upcoming Mac and iPhone apps, which will likely allow screenshots to be stored on the devices.

- Integrations: for instance, auto-syncing your screenshots and generated digests to Notion; or uploading screenshots from Discord without even having to open Trickle, among others.

- Leveraging the screenshot library to deliver more value, such as collating user feedback screenshots and periodically generating user insights from them.

We're eagerly looking forward to GPT-4's image understanding capabilities being released so we can offer our users an even more imaginative experience.

Extroverted developers suffer from interrupts just as much as introverted developers, and I've been interrupted numerous times by very introverted managers. This is a matter of understanding developer workflows and uniquely severe context switching penalty-- not a difference between introverts and extroverts.
