It's a response to a planetary economy incentivised to reward resource extraction, rent seeking, and individual greed over collective intelligence and creative strategy.

The US corporate right evangelised this culture as "freedom", and now it's being eaten from the inside out by it.
Is it really? Luck to have a better IQ/genes/some other parameter than most other people?
Fentanyl needs to be made legal and sold at grocery stores. In 2-for-1 packs, fentanly+narcan, at affordable prices. Even better, subsidized prices for poor people which can't afford it.

That would solve the fentanyl problem, which is solely due to it being illegal and impure.

More generally, all drugs need to be decriminalized and sold at affordable prices and pharma-grade quality.
I have a very similar routine! Though I prefer to swim on an empty stomach and have a coffee after as a reward :)
I think I disagree with this. I taught myself web dev mainly through Udemy courses and managed to land my first dev job through that. I've been working my way through Algomonster and Neetcode and, as someone with no formal education in computer science or programming, it's been filling in some gaps in my knowledge and I've mostly been enjoying the process. Some things I saw in the code base at my last job that I didn't comprehend fully at the time now make a lot more sense.
I haven't eaten breakfast regularly my entire adult life. People used to be funny about it but in more recent years people seem to have come around. I work with people who sit down all day and none of us need breakfast. It's more of a habit than anything. I do occasionally partake in breakfast when it's fun, though, like on holiday.

It's not the same. The earliest JVMs weren't really thread safe at all but machines were single core so it didn't matter, you could just cooperatively multi-task.

Later HotSpot became thread safe (and fast - a rare achievement), so started using real OS threads so it could go multi-core.

Virtual threads are M:N threading. There are multiple native threads so you can exploit all the cores, and also user-space runtime managed stacks so you can pack way more threads into a process.
It's also very hard to figure out which companies expect a 15% discount compared to the same role a year or more ago.. This makes a market that is too annoying for the already employed that want to move laterally with no losses or upward with actual benefit.

Possibly that's a short time help to the unemployed, but it is a factor that could successfully lower the going wage.

The downtick in layoffs is perhaps that many experienced tech workers even if jobless can apply at much lower rates or just sit it out so its hard for management to understand which positions will cost them a pound of flesh to fill again even as they stare at the holes they already have.
Most people on here on HN have a lot of technical knowledge and they do seem to do decently well, but millions?
You literally sound like the kind of person who wants to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks for reading Achim! Yes, you bring up some good points - if they are important for your company you can definitely add them as layers to your research.

Authenticity - I would categorise this as a "Value pillar" that you can bring up under your "Company" section of your 4C research. If it is a core value of your company.

Increase Reach in Creative Ways - Will definitely write about this, but it will be part of the media strategy section of the series!

Controversy, Contrast - I'd put this in the "Culture" section of the 4C's, as it has to do with culture and trends.

Positive vs Negative Messaging - I think this might be more related to tactics which comes a bit later in the series when talking about developing ad campaigns. But yes, it's definitely an interesting topic - it kind of depends on how you want to be seen. Is your positioning work about being a leader in the space? Then I would not call-out our competitors, a leader does not compare themselves. Are you the disruptor? Then yes, call-out our competitors! But agreed, this can be an entire post of its own, thanks for the feedback!

Be more Specific. - I will write an entire post on every one of the 4C's as well as continuing the series so will cover more of it there - but good idea about the worksheets, questionnaires, specific metrics etc, will see what I can do there :)
I swear most of the comments on HN become this weird “how can I respond to this statement and connect the conversation to something negative even if it’s completely off topic”.

Can I talk to you about our Lord and Savior the CPU trace cache[1]?

That is to say, I know next to nothing about how modern CPUs are actually designed and hardly more about JITs, but a modern CPU’s frontend with a microop cache sure looks JITy to me. The trace cache on NetBurst looks even more classically JITy, but by itself it was a miserable failure, so meh.

In any event, a printf invocation seems like it should be too large for the cache to come into play;—on the other hand, all the predictors learning stuff over the iterations might make a meaningful impact?

Seems to me like that learning, if present, would make the benchmark less interesting, not more, as an actual prospective application of string formatting seems unlikely to go through formatting the same (kind of) thing and nothing else in a tight loop.

A big reason why they do it so that the contents don’t get crushed from the factory to the consumer. You fill the bag with air to cushion it.
Because setting a minimum quality of life as being able to fly anywhere around the world is environmentally untenable for 8B people. So if it cannot be accessible to all 8B people, then it brings up the question for how to determine who deserves it and who does not.

Which then leads to who deserves first class rather than coach, which then leads to who deserves a private jet versus a plane. Or even who deserves a personal car rather than using the bus or having to carpool.
It sounds to me like successful software companies are Agile in nature. Most significantly, that autonomy and people in the business are the priority, and that the processes support them - not the other way round.

One could point out that while funding often depends on social-political factors including age, sex, gender, and race. It's not necessarily a zero sum game either. Not to mention knowlege and technology used to defeat one disease often has applications to other.

It’s obviously a problem for the parent (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jw1224), but the issue is not primarily whether such a limit is reasonable or not, it’s that it’s undocumented and seemingly unintentional (relative to the limits they do document), and most importantly it’s that the lack of response from OpenAI support indicates that you can’t count on them providing any reliable and timely level of support. This is just unacceptable for a service you’d want to build a business on.

What we have now is quite literally economic apartheid. Poor people are not allowed into the same spaces, not given the same legal and ethical privileges, denied adequate education and healthcare, increasingly barred from owning property (because "markets")... among many other challenges.

The model is that you can buy your way out of this slavery if you're talented (ruthless) and well-connected enough.

Otherwise you die, and no one - at least no one who matters - cares.
It would address the policy side, but not the transparency side (which is arguably critical to the Web PKI’s current security model).

I mean even metric is somewhat defined by the world 0°C is the freezing point of fresh water 100° is the boiling point. That's somewhat arbitrary. You could as easily have used saltwater as °F does, the difference in this case is that it's divisible in 10s 100s.

The original definition of a kilogram is 1 litre of fresh water (I think they're more precise now), but it still works for common usage.

A litre is 10cm x 10cm by 10cm of water (it's metric turtles all the way down)

Finally the original definition is where we get to the base arbitrary, it was 1/10,000,000 of the equator to the north pole (it has since evolved, from the 1790s).

What's important here is the consistency and ease of use in mathmatical units with everything being in 10s and 100s.

Fentanyl is one of the few drugs I can buy all the anti-drug propaganda on given the insane death rate compared to other drugs (I remember meth being advertised on tv as deadly)[1].

Better to allow doctors to prescribe heroin maintenance. In fact this was tried in the UK back in the 1980s (and earlier) and is generally regarded as a success: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin-assisted_treatment
I don't disagree. At your local grocery store you should have a drug aisle with cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, MDMA, mushrooms, all pharma-grade quality. So you would know exactly what you are getting.

One look at the individual market for insurance shows that you will be paying many times the quoted figure if you want insurance that you can actually use, and you will have $8k deductibles and higher out-of-pocket maximums with cheaper insurance.
>American financial markets favor a capital-light production model, or one of no production at all. Jack Welch was well aware of this in his transformation of GE from an engineering company—one cofounded by Thomas Edison—to a financial engineering company. In 1985, during his early years as CEO, he canceled the company’s “factory of the future” initiative consisting of automation systems, robotics, and ad­vanced machine tools, which would have allowed GE to catch up with Siemens and Japanese competitors in its offerings. Instead, that same year he acquired RCA, parent company of the television broadcaster NBC. Eventually, 60 percent of company profits came from GE capital. Welch’s strategy worked, at least for a while: in 1993, GE became the world’s most valuable company, before the stock price collapsed during the great financial crisis and GE was broken up.

>The assessment of author David Gelles, in his critical biography of Welch, The Man Who Broke Capitalism, is that “instead of trying to fix American manufacturing, he effectively abandoned it, and would soon start shuttering factories around the country and shipping jobs overseas.” Welch once stated, “Ideally, you’d have every plant you own on a barge to move with currencies and changes in the economy.”

Arguably, the article discusses financialization as a cause.

tl;dr it's a scam.

Austria, is a zone of experimentation for large German companies like T-Mobile, REWE and friends.

Longer explanation, the bottom line is that they can do it and get away with it, why and how are just excuses and cause for infinite talk on the subject. They are allowed to get away with it, and so they will do it, basic economics.

The same applies to literally the entire world now. With the "new world order" after COVID prices for literally everything have been on the rise, with ample excuses to justify this. Then the "war" in Ukraine came along and gave the greedy in the world yet another new set of excuses to justify increased prices.

Sure, there could have been rational justification to increase costs temporarily, but long term, it feels like a global, coordinated scam.

Take energy prices in Germany and Austria for example. The energy companies were literally given the green light to scam the populace by dramatically hiking the price of fuel, and electricity.

The cost of petrol and diesel almost doubled, the price of electricity (even though MOST of it is made from rivers flowing, therefore with no significant increase in underlying cost to generate) was more than doubled in some cases and kept this way for many, many months.

So since petrol and power now costs double, we can increase all the rest to go along with it, right? Sure, let's do it!

Yeah, the politicians started yammering about how they'll tax these extra profits but the bottom line will be that all of these huge corps will get away with it, and they'll run away with tons of profits that they were never supposed to have.

Are we ever going to go down to pre-war/pre-covid costs and prices? my estimate is that it's highly unlikely and never going to happen. With minor ups and downs on the way to keep us happy and talking, pricing is only going to be trending one way, up.

Way to go our fantastic, democratically elected officials. You guys are so talented, smart and you really seem to care about your people. Give us more of this goodness please, we can't wait! We're going to elect you or your talented replacements as well next time, don't worry about it!

> So far as I'm aware, there are no firsthand witnesses that corroborate Grusch's claims that have been identified, let alone testifying to Congress

Not in public sessions. According to journalist Ross Coulthart and Sen. Marco Rubio [0], several first-hand witnesses were called to testify in front of the ICIG. It was on this basis that the ICIG directed Grusch's whistleblower complaints to Congress, where he presented further supporting documentation and deposed in front of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and others.

> The bigger flaw, of course, is the fact that he's telling it at all; if it were true, it would be one of the most important military secrets in the history of human civilization. The DoD seems to care not one whit about what he has to say

His central argument is that the nature of these programs is only known to a handful of people. In order for his DOPSR [1] to prevent him from talking, two conditions must be met:

1- The people performing his DOPSR must know about the existence of these programs; and

2- By law they would have to indicate which specific agencies deny him the right to state specific things, which in turn he would have been able to fight in court.

Regarding first-hand witnesses of these legacy programs, would their testimony sincerely change your opinion on the subject, or would you dismiss anything they claim as well? What is the basis for that difference?

Ultimately we must all ask ourselves what sort of evidence would be sufficient for us to change our mind, then follow that up by wondering what would it take for that evidence to be available to us, and what would it take for that evidence to be hidden from us. Only then we can have reasonable shot at understanding where things are.

So far I haven't seen convincing evidence, but at the same time I can see how such convincing evidence would be very difficult to obtain even if the NHI phenomenon was true.

Sorry I meant 70 m/sec. Current designs feather the blades and stop spinning when they exceed their maximum safe wind speed. The article says that this design can handle a much higher safe maximum wind speed, but there must still be a limit, and what then? If I understand correctly they can not feather the blade to stop.

It seems an obvious question so they've probably got a good answer, but I couldn't find it in the article.

companies behaving badly is bad for society as a whole, so allowing the "owners" ie shareholders to make a quick short term buck at the cost of employees or a local factory that supports the town because "it doesn't make ENOUGH" money chips away at society and drags down the country all so a couple people can make a quick buck destroying 1000s or 10,000s of lives and/or entire towns.

Our grid already feeds 2-3kW to pretty much every parking spot because of block heaters needed to get ICE vehicles running in the winter. The grid needs exactly zero changes for an EV future. A few last-mile upgrades maybe, but nothing major. This is according to the government organisation that handles the grid infrastructure.

As for "hydrogen network", we have pretty much zero infrastructure bringing natural gas or any kind of gas to residential homes. I think the capital city used to have a gas pipeline, but it got dismantled and people just use portable CNG tanks.
good thing you only have 1 voice
I used to share a similar position until I realized: drugs are bad, actually, and there should be substantial friction in making them available to people.

Disincentivizing drug consumption is a good thing. The war on drugs obviously leads to some absurdities - e.g. drug cartels, unnecessary incarceration - and I much prefer the Portuguese model.

But making fentanyl in particular available in the grocery store would be bad; some substantial number of people would die who wouldn't have died otherwise. Some substantial number of people who would never have tried fentanyl would give it a try.

Some sensible balance needs to be struck between a free society and preventing people from e.g. leaving live landmines in their parking lots. Doing things which inevitably kill people/mess up their lives without active violence is still bad, and should be heavily discouraged.
