Even if it isn't 'scripted', there's an implied script in the objects laid on the table and the general presentation as a piece of interactive art where the audience is requested to participate by doing 'anything' to her and she won't react. They were being asked, implicitly, to break norms, to treat her as non-human, to get all weird in the name of Art.

The idea that this says something profound about how people will 'naturally gravitate' towards violent or dehumanising behaviour is ridiculous.
I think you misunderstood. I think the comment you are responding to is about NIMBY-ism.
So, like:

myMethod :: IO ()
myMethod = putStrLn "Hello World!"

Yes, so hard... "insane" /s
My scale wasn't off, but I agree, it was quite misleading. When I said measured in picoseconds, I was thinking about 300-500 picoseconds roughly.

However, CPUs can also execute more than one instruction in a cycle so effectively, you can have more instructions than cycles.

Immigration also makes housing scarcer, and housing is the biggest CoL problem.
I studied at a distance university and they use lecture halls of local universities for the exams.
Since when is housing not part of living? My example explicitly includes housing / renting in one of the most expensive cities in Germany.
But hasn't it always been that way? Copernicus was a revolution to philosophy. Newton was a revolution to philosophy.

Is it just that we're more aware of the current philosophers, who will be forgotten in a century or two? Or is the philosophical opposition actually stronger now?
Philosophy can approach many questions that currently feel out of the realm of science
It does not take professional training to see the price tag of a student loan and to question if one can reasonably pay it off in the future. Certainly, someone equipped with the skills needed to be accepted into a college that costs so much should be able to do the math required on that calculation.
> Google Cloud boosted its operating profits to $395 million for the second quarter

From https://www.geekwire.com/2023/google-cloud-posts-second-stra...

Yes, Google has killed a lot of products... but none of those ever came anywhere close to turning such a profit!
Yea, you are definitely not the first one who suggested adding one or two "action buttons", even if there isn't a touch screen. So I am definitely taking that idea seriously.
> it seems it would help more if the government would step in to disallow large leasing companies buying up giant swathes of the housing stock

My instinct is to disagree. That could create other problems and it's not a given that it would help prices. Encouraging growth by changing zoning seems preferable. We know that it works, since Japan has been doing it forever.
First off, glass will be reused; I dunno about the states, but in Europe there's a huge industry of paying a deposit when you buy something, getting it back when you hand it in, and the glassware gets cleaned and reused. Mainly for beer though, I think the scheme should be extended to other things as well.

Second, recycling is more energy efficient than making new glass; from Wikipedia, "Soda lime glass from virgin raw materials theoretically requires approximately 2.671 GJ/tonne compared to 1.886 GJ/tonne to melt 100% glass cullet." (cullet is just existing glass). However, it's usually mixed in with raw materials to make new glass, which reduces the energy needed: "As a general rule, every 10% increase in cullet usage results in an energy savings of 2–3% in the melting process, with a theoretical maximum potential of 30% energy saving.[5] Every metric ton (1,000 kg) of waste glass recycled into new items saves 315 kilograms (694 lb) of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere during the manufacture of new glass.[6]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_recycling

TL;DR: Recycling of existing and well-known reusables (glass, aluminium, steel) uses a lot less energy than making new. This isn't the case for plastic yet though, as it turns out.
The amusingly sad thing is that they aren't even a great investment, all things considered, because over large enough areas and long enough times, they basically keep pace with inflation.

That has been obscured and hidden from the public consciousness, but it's there (and it basically has to be, as if it's not, eventually you get insanity where nobody can afford to live in anything - some say we're close to this but it cannot continue, just like population simply cannot literally increasing forever or eventually the entire mass of the Earth would be made of people.)

Too many landlords have been buying long and selling short, and losing money doing so but it's hidden by (sometimes) apparent appreciation - that train is rapidly decelerating and will be at the station soon, as the low interest rates have dried on up.

I'm not following your argument - I am a visual artist. I do it for myself, as you said, as an outlet. I enjoy it.

If AI can also create images... I don't see how that changes what I enjoy. There are already better painters than I, and more productive painters than I. They make money with it, I don't. This doesn't stop me from painting. Neither will AI that can paint. I'll still do what I enjoy.
Why worry about money when you have enough money in the bank to last until Judgement Day?
That's their in-house LLM though. Amazon prefers investing $4B into Anthropic rather than using their own stuff. If you ask me, long ago they should've taken the top ML and engineering talent from Alexa and let them focus on building an in-house Openai/Anthropic. Then the engineers who left in Alexa could just integrate that stuff, as of the rest of the company (AWS, retail, etc).
Not explicitly but the choice is “stay in your economic class or invest in the only thing reliably proven to improve your future”.

Show HN: Portabl.ink – create self-contained links
Hello, I've seen these site-in-a-link makers around here and was inspired to make my own version in about a week! It was fun.

This tool uses data URLs so a connection to the host is unnecessary, unlike itty.bitty.site.

It also uses compression. The data URL bundles both the compressed data and the code needed to decompress and bootstrap that data.

Lastly, you can turn the whole editor itself into a data URL! - Under the more [⋯] menu, click "get portabl.ink" to get a portable link of portabl.ink (like a quine!)

OP may not live alone- you are making a lot of assumptions.

Maybe their mother was a proud woman who didn't want to impose/intrude more than she already was.

Their mother may live in another state, in which she is more comfortable.

Rather than reprimanding OP, try having some empathy.

If not for OP then for their mother. No one should have to be homeless, it's a special kind of hell. I speak from personal experience.
When using stuff like this you let the cream of top surface then use it. It will surface when enough people/publication give praise, otherwise you waste time evaluating too many models, it’s not a fun task as they can give you illusions of being great at some but end up with overall worse.

You keep referencing these articles on async I think it is best that you stop. Some of the advice has been known to cause controversy, nor is necessary to think about in standard line of buisness code.
I was holding out on joining the wave of doomerism that pervades everyone's mindset so thoroughly nowadays, but I'm starting to be won over. Between economic things like this and the apparent infeasibility of carbon capture (meaning a likely 3+ degree C increase in global temperature (and the resulting catastrophic effects that not even activists talk about because the scenario is too bleak to imagine)), I am starting to join the doomer mindshare.
I don't think so. Bullies don't have impunity, but they carry on anyway. I think it's much more to do with the suggestion of violence. Leaving the blank space for violence makes it huge in people's mind. They act it out against their best interests, because it's so tempting. If you remove the suggestion towards it at all or suggest to it and then fill the urge another way, the problem disappears.

It's a class war.

Lets call it what it is. One side is literally trying to kill the other. Whether you choke off oxygen or financial means to survival... you're killing people.

One side is wealthy enough to engage in this for fun and entertainment. They are so disconnected from reality that their actions are justified and their ethics totally evaporated.

It's not a good community for discussions. It is a great community to find inside scoop on companies - which unfortunately leans towards toxicity because companies often secretly have toxic policies.

for iPhones maybe not but for drones or AR devices if you want to stream 4k at 60fps or 120fps then there is a lot of data to send. You could use iPhone as Drone payload for doing some site/construction inspection etc. Same with drones - they can fly very fast so would be nice to stream at 4k@120fps. Drones or iphones can/have many camera including lidar, depthmap (trudepth)

I miss my hand-me-down SE from 2016. Passed it along to a family member a couple years ago, got used to this XR (much larger, no button; I miss the button), and I'll use this phone into the ground because I care far more about my ecological impact than I care about having specific luxuries (I understand that I'm relatively rich as it is, and that the fact that I have such a nice phone, even if it's a gift, is like having a large number of enslaved people doing things for me. I mentally prepare to be okay living on a lot less).
I didn't realise that. Then again, I only experimented with AOT executables quite briefly. Perhaps Cosmos[1] stuck in my head more than what I read about AOT dotnet applications.

>Everyone in the industry (except apple) was doing it so nobody wanted to go against the wisdom of the collective. Raising debt to finance things was really cheap (especially for Microsoft given our bond rating) so everyone in the industry began hiring and collecting employees like Pokémon cards.

Except Apple.
Modules are obviously the best solution for this purpose, but not the only one. Even in C, which has neither modules nor namespaces, you can avoid prefix collisions with a little bit of macro usage by making the prefix configurable in such a way that the consumer of the library only has to define a preprocessor constant before including the library if they're unlucky enough to have stumbled upon two different libraries with the same prefix, with no action required otherwise. Even for the author of an library this approach doesn't require any unreasonable levels of macro usage. In practice this approach is rare, but I've seen a couple of libraries use it, so it's not completely theoretical.

The fact of the performance is that Marina Abramović presented herself and 72 objects to an audience, and did nothing more. It is insanity to imply that somehow the presence of a weapon alone compels someone to use the weapon, in fact that only reflects one's own insanity... IMO.

Counterpoint: They make a lot of new plastic, which ends up in the cycle one way or another. If they can make some of that out of existing plastic, in theory less new plastic needs to be made (in practice it won't stop), and plastic stays out of landfills and incinerators for a bit longer.

Yeah, so? If it's not main you just need to mark your function as being of IO () type. Or e.g. IO Integer if you also return an integer, and so on.

Not being far enough into rust to know: is there a reason they can't settle on shared APIs?

For single-threaded vs multi-threaded obviously you'll need to split the APIs, but why can't all 1/N-threaded runtimes work with all 1/N-threaded coroutines (and perhaps another split for no_std)? Ignoring historical differences of course - backwards compatibility means early ones probably can't ever work together. But the ecosystem isn't forever bound to those early implementations.
This looks really neat! Does it have an ethernet port? And maybe PoE?
Because even if you have experimental results in your favor, you still need epistemology to tell you why you can believe the results of the experiments. And you can't derive epistemology from experiments.

Logical positivism tried to do this, and failed. Michael Polanyi's Personal Knowledge pretty much killed logical positivism, because he showed that no scientist is in the fully objective position that was required to set up and evaluate the experiments.
And those who do not want to deal with the risk of going through school and not getting a better job to pay for the onerous loans can just remain in their economic class.
> The only reason courthouses are public is so the public can satisfy themselves that the courts are doing their job in a fair way.

Don't agree. One purpose of public trials is to show the public how much the authorities disapprove of <criminal act X>. That is, public trials are intrinsically show-trials.

A second purpose is to punish the defendant for pleading Not Guilty (and/or warn others of the consequences of such a plea); even if you are innocent, your actions will be paraded in public, and subjected to the harshest possible criticism.
I don't know why we don't just have a single state where all homeless people can live. Where homeless people from all over can be bussed into. Where all homelessness resources can be directed. Where a majority of caseworkers can go, where lots and lots of housing can be built and no NIMBYs can complain. A state that is already basically this kind of place. Like West Virginia.
MDMA and the Quest for Connection in a Fractured World
My father is going into work today to collect his things. He worked for his company, and directly for the owner for 40 years. The company is being sold. The owner is walking away with millions. My father got nothing. Zero severance. After 40 years. My poor mother thought she found a law that required severance. I had to explain to her that was Canada. It really drives home the point that our laws are meant for the capital class. We have almost no worker rights here in the US.
I constantly have to remind myself that TikTok is a Chinese owned company and while a video like this would be banned in China the algorithm amplifies anti-social behaviour like this in the west.

When I see kids around me watching videos like this, I make sure to remind them and their parents this is deliberate propaganda.

When Facebook/Insta does it the motivation is money. When TikTok does it the motivation is political.
I just don't find it that interesting that if you put people into a situation that provokes people to commit violence then they will do it. What does that say about human nature? It's not something we are afraid of admitting nor something unearthed.
Generally I disagree with this sentiment. Do not wait to make a pipe bigger because it is full. We had this issue with phone lines and then CAT5 and CAT still sucks because commercial equipment is so expensive. How can the world innovate in-home technology when it's not cheap and ubiquitous.

I can definitely imagine things I can do with that in-house, not just for me but for other adopters.
That's equally true of Belgian and New York companies, though.
Amazon has told it's employees if you don't return to the office you will have "voluntarily resigned"

Not sure how legal it is to fire an employee by telling them they resigned by choice, but that's how amazon is phrasing it.

Oh, and no paper trail. Managers are told to give those instructions verbally and not in slack/email. Asking HR to confirm it and they'll tell you to call your manager.
I also love how simple it is. It’s a book of books. No distractions. It does what it does well. Waterproof. Battery lasts forever.

Which high speed train are you comparing to?

I find aircraft much noisier than any train. More like magic vacuum cleaners, they seem to be the best use of noise-cancelling headphones and earplugs aren't uncommon.

Vibration depends on how well the track is maintained, but there are certainly fewer surprises (turbulence). There are videos online of people balancing coins on trains — I did this myself once from Malmö to Copenhagen Airport, though that is only 200km/h.

I'm not sure what harshness is in this context.
