The person you’re replying to said PCBWay was good. Quoting that comment: “they seem to legitimately do a good job” “Quality is as good as you'd want and the price is reasonable.”
Ultimately population scales the demand just as it scales the workforce, so it’s not inherently going to change anything outside of extreme situations. Significant negative population growth is however unpleasant because the infrastructure you build today ends up excessive in the future.

As to surplus labor you need flexibility simply from people changing jobs. Average 1 month searching every 4 years and that’s a 2.1% unemployment rate. Yes, many people keep their jobs for very long periods but other people job hop regularly.
You are missing the point. LLM are not trained on image data, but on human text data. This is not the same as encoding the image as ASCII characters.

Constantly raising and capturing profits has a far more destabilising effect.

At some point this reality will become clear to US corporate culture. But it may well be rather late and very messy.
Take the idea of a post-singularity culture. To an individual in this society (if the idea of individualism still existed) have a moral framework anywhere near ours?

What is stealing if I can push a button and said object can be easily duplicated?

Does pain exist if I can turn if off an the level of my brain? Is death horrible if I can reconstitute myself from a backup?

The idea of a universal set of morals, and that humanity could even come close to finding them at our point in development is just not something I believe in happening. We are enslaved to our emotions and bound to our physical meat.
ummm, where did you say "vomit" before this most recent comment?

I used it as a topical example of another ongoing case where court admissible evidence was more likely to turn up because the police are more motivated to look for it and people with possibly relevant information more likely to testify, yes. If I had meant my outrageously bold claim that stuff is more likely to be found if more people look harder for it to rest entirely on this case, I would have said so!

If you're struggling to see any link between five people being bailed and a case being somewhat more thoroughly investigated and likely to make it to court than the average empty building arson, maybe leave the tedious armchair lawyering to someone who can.
They definitely have issues with immigrant gangs though, and they are looking for solutions, see for example: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-crime-deportations/a-66467396

There it is said that only a third of the gang members are German citizens. They've got like 100 gangs that matter there, and pretty much all are Turkish (Kurds too, not that specific ethnicities matter too much but the point here is that they are immigrant gangs and they are a direct result of the immigrant policies).
The situation in Sweden is dire and everyone living in the west would do well to listen to the lack of sounds our canary is making. Decades, with an emphasis on the last decade, of disastrous immigration policies have lead up to this and when the time has come to admit that the opposition to these policies was right all along. But instead only shallow dismissals of racism and bigotry are what you hear from establishment politicians and their followers.

I have come to believe since a time ago that the only solution is a more or less revolutionary change in how our country is managed is the only way to solve the underlying issues of corruption and nepotism that we see in our governments right now. This situation also does not seem to be unique to my own country unfortunately, but rather indicative of the situation the entire west sits in.

As times get more and more violent, the chances for a truly peaceful solution become smaller and smaller. It's high time to start looking at what in other times would have seemed like drastic solutions, like mass deportation. Beggars cannot be choosers when it comes to solving a problem of this scale, and at this late a stage of a frankly potentially terminal sickness.
McDonalds doesn't automate away a whole position at once, just a bit here and there and soon enough you might be able to handle a rush with one less person, or handle off peak with one less person, or if you can't drop one person, one person has more time to make sure the store is clean and supplies are well stocked etc.

The push to self-ordering via kiosk and mobile ordering isn't likely to be 100%, but the registers might be empty at times. The automated soda dispensers don't do all the work, but they reduce labor here and there. The thing to put ketchup and mustard on at the same time saves a step.
> Hate speech is literally violence. Those so-called “speakers” were lucky they were let out of their speaking engagements peacefully and without acts of physical retaliation (which would have been clearly justified self defense)!

Funny you say that...

> [f]or some members of our community, Judge Duncan, during his time as an attorney and judge, has ‘repeatedly and proudly threatened healthcare and basic rights for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ people, Native Americans, immigrants, prisoners, Black voters, and women, and his presence on campus represents a significant hit to their sense of belonging.

> Ahead of his appearance, they put up posters around the law school like this one, accusing him of being transphobic, homophobic, and racist [...]

> For about ten minutes, the judge tried to give his planned remarks, but the protestors simply yelled over him, with exclamations like [...] "You're not welcome here, we hate you!" [...] "Leave and never come back!" "We hate FedSoc students, f*k them, they don't belong here either!" and "We do not respect you and you have no right to speak here! This is our jurisdiction!"

Sooo...the "aggrieved" openly and explicitly express hate speech, intimidation tactics and demonstrate inability to coexist with anything they don't agree with. He's the one being jacketed as the hater.

> The protesters carried signs reading [...] "JUDGE DUNCAN CAN'T FIND THE CLIT"

> Judge Duncan moved on to the question-and-answer session, and the protestors quieted down enough to ask a few questions. The questions—and answers—were generally contemptuous. As the judge put it to me, while he’s usually happy to answer questions when he speaks at law schools, the questions he received at Stanford were not asked in good faith; in his words, they were of the “how many people have you killed” or “how many times did you beat your wife last week” variety.

> “I get the protesters, they are socialized into thinking the right approach to a federal judge you don’t agree with is to call him a f*ker and make jokes about his sex life. Awesome. I don’t care what they think about my sex life. But it took a surreal turn when the associate dean of DEI got up to speak…. She opens up her portfolio and lo and behold, there is a printed speech. It was a setup—and the fact that the administration was in on it to a certain degree makes me mad.”

Duncan hosting an AMA on 4chan would have been more civil. This is just embarrassing for Yale.

Can anyone point me to any broad research or economic analysis that shows that minimum wage laws do anything to help those with low skill in the labor market? The economic consensus and data evidence I find is that it basically does nothing in the medium term, because the market just inflated to adjust, and pushes people out of the workforce or into the black market at the margins.

I’m liberal enough to be open to the idea, but it seems like the least likely of left wing economic policies to actually improve the quality of life of low skill workers.
The most successful projects I have been on started with a smart manager, admin, engineer or other non-programmer who used Excel, FileMaker, FrontPage or the like. Using the tools they know defined their real scope of work.

Projects that start at an empty white board are much harder, which scope creep and higher failure rates

Single precision ulp is one part in ten million? I'm not sure which derivatives you worked with but that's an exceptionally small profit margin. For most derivatives a margin of one part in ten thousand would be considered small.
The problem is someone ends up using one of these in production. Then backname.io becomes an attractive target.

It would be cool to have it as a locally installed custom DNS resolver on the developers computer though.

I have read somewhere that so much precision could actually be dangerous in some circumstances.

This is because this way, if a pilot goes 3000 ft for instance, it will be exactly 3000 ft, if another pilot also wants to go 3000 ft on a collision trajectory, it will be a guaranteed collision. When altitudes are not that accurate, there is a higher chance it being just a near miss. The solution, I think, was to simply avoid round numbers. So now, it is 2950 ft, 3050 ft,...

I may have the details wrong, but I am quite sure about that problem being seriously considered.
Not to sound too grandiose, but I think that the tradition of teenagers working in low-skilled retail and service jobs is also important for societal cohesion. Nothing is going to give you more empathy for the people working in those jobs than having done it yourself for at least a couple years. For teenagers in the middle class and above I’d say it’s actually the most important reason to work those types of jobs.

IME a huge part of the cost of development (regardless of code/no-code tool choice) is the time spent gathering requirements and continuously validating them.

When the user and developer are the same people, the cost of finding the requirements can sometimes be nearly zero. In this case, that person will themselves choose the best tool for them. And the development cost will be very cheap -- for example, think of a short script you wrote to do something just for you.

But when the user and developer are different people, much care should be taken to avoid cost explosion. To the outside this can look like "coding is expensive!" which is kinda true, but really it's the requirements discovery that dominates the cost. People don't understand each other perfectly, can sometimes talk past each other, etc. Iterative development's purpose is to mitigate the problem of building for the wrong requirements.

No-code tools can unblock "developers" who own the requirements but don't have programming skills. That might make those projects very cheap. Or it could do the opposite: if the non-programmers don't know think carefully about what they're building, then they might end up spending just as much time as programmers would have as they iterate towards a complete solution.
There's a lot of good reasons why its not universal. Chief amongst them is that there's no guarantee that a given footprint will work in the context of the overall assembly. Will you get tomb-stoning? Will the combination of fab capabilities and assembly capabilities necessitate a larger aperture for a given pad? If so, will that cause the solder to migrate during reflow to an adjoining pad?

Is it Yageo's responsibility to publish a different 0402 footprint for each board house's capabilities?

That is so heartening to hear there is new rail service opening in our time. It’s seemed impossibly difficult to even get another train on the schedule with Amtrak. The only train that I can take departs at 2:45am and I’m been told by anyone who will hear me that it hasn’t changed in 80+ years and never will. I kinda love that it’s in Florida; if it went forward there then anything is possible.

Basic economics can be reduced to:
Operate while marginal_revenue >= marginal_cost (mr >= mc).

In this example, marginal cost just increased by some delta, d, to get to $20. This means that anyone currently working in such fashion that d > (mr - mc) now provides negative value to their employer.

Furthermore, in any future venture, people will only be hired if they can provide >= $20 in hourly revenue.

Likely fast food restaurants will raise prices to cover the increased mc, so this ultimately gets passed on to the consumer.

I don't understand why this is controversial.
Fair, though if we invested in high speed rail a lot more cities would be within 4-5 hours of each other (and have the added advantage that the train would be consistently be faster than driving).
The fear of not to be broke or to be able to have more and excess funds leads majority of human into digital stock investment, these days a lot of people are swiping into digital trade, online has now become the modern life for everyone, you could get anything down online and technology has greatly advance beyond what one could have wished for.

Making money online has been helped full and can as well ruin one life if fallen into a scam.

CRYPTO INVESTMENT SCAM: This is a process whereby you invest your capital funds to a fraudulent company online without its knowledge at the initial stage. A lot of people around the globe have fallen victim, it’s also known as Ponzi scam, Victims are likely often promised to have high profit return over what they invested and this has made so many investors lose all their assets.

Is Crypto worth investing in? 100% it is worth investing but do you have the knowledge? Are you aware that you could be scammed while trying to invest into crypto? If you know this then you will have to do a thorough search before investing your funds into any platform.

Crypto Recovery Scam: Desperation has been the major key used by scammers to get into victims, CRYPTO RECOVERY is real but not legal. What is real and not legal has procedures and one can likely fall into imposter hands and end up being scammed, so many reviews about crypto recovery have been posted by scammers who derive joy in seeing their fellow humans in tears. I will solemnly advise everyone to stop searching for crypto recovery agent in a wrong way, they are now so many search words on the internet being used by both real and fake, so therefor a new methods was introduced to connect with a real recovery agent which i myself writing this article has experience it magnificent excellent recovery work well done by Alienwizbot. com crypto recovery/other’s General hack service.

Alien Wizbot Crypto Recovery Service are a great set of hackers team with verified profiles and they have been helpful in resolving scam issues simply with their technology tools and p2p forum union with crypto block, makes it much easier for them to carry out crypto scam funds recovery. My total scammed funds was $2.875,000 canadian dollar's and I received $3.255 USD, converting that to Canadian dollar's was greatly profitable and I had no regret for clearing out all the scammer wallet funds with the help of Alienwizbot crypto recovery.

Turning mixed plastic into useful chemicals
It's sort of amazing to me that you even wrote this. It's shocking.

A typical fast food establishment. Say Chikfila will clear 15k of revenue on a typical slow night. On a good night easily 25k.

An 8 hour shift at $20 an hour is $160. You need to have 5 people in the kitchen and 6-7 out front bagging and taking orders. 12*160 = 1920

Typically wages are your most expensive line item.

So essentially everyone on HN is arguing over $500 a night from revenue that is already hitting 80% profit.

If anything the minimum wage should be $30.

It's almost like techies should stay in their lane and stop talking about economics they know nothing about.
Yup this is actually a roadmap feature. Because we generate in 3D, users can bring their own 3D models and add it to the catalog. And if you add something like object capture from Apple (https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/object-capture...), you could literally scan your couch, upload it to Fill 3D, place, and generate.

It's interestingly how you silently show that 'group' classification of humans allows any person to do any action they want to another person as long as they can find a means of putting them in a particular group.
> Would you take the same position in software? Almost certainly not - because it is complex.

Why not?

> Sure, there's plenty of no-code or low-code platforms out there - but why are they not more popular?

I would compare software with auto routing and without more to Python with C situation. Auto routing is more like garbage collector to me. Should we discourage people from programming in Python just because for hobbyist C or C++ might too hardcore? It's not that they have to be professional developers - why not let them learn how to write even simple python script that help them processing some text and do simple automation? It's not that everyone need or want to write operating system.

After all today python is the most popular programming language even though it mostly started being used in education or basic scripting. Should we also forbid people using ChatGPT to help with programming for doing some creative coding? Let them have some fun.
Typescript won because Microsoft shipped vscode with out of the box TS integration that just worked. This is touched on in the article but understated.

They used the exact same approach as visual studio and .NET, and managed to eat up the entire fragmented ecosystem in a matter of years.
Thousands of dollars is.. not that much.

When I was a junior strategy consultant they charged 175 dollars per hour of my work. And the company managed to find clients who paid for days of such work, sometimes even with overtime.
As much as I like to think of myself as a smart person, the decks that I made were solid but in my opinion nothing special, nothing really groundbreaking. Just standard strategy decks, based on "research" (google), internal analysis (data pulled from ass) or statistical model (excel with lots of assumptions). I also doubt they pushed anyone anywhere apart from making some sales.

On a side note, the rates for tax consultants were generally lower, for example a partner charged 500 per hour, but they usually couldnt charge the client for more than few hours.

So I could imagine those microsoft guys charing something like 2000 per hour, or rather something like 15 000 per day (because it sounds much better) for someone who is actually critically needed. Or maybe those guys think that others are ones charging high rates because the grass is greener on the other side

(Obviously you would take maybe 15% of your hourly rate...)

tbh sometimes I think the most important skill for any consultant is being able to find people who will pay for your services, anything else is secondary
The government could easily solve this by not offering welfare or social assistance programs.

In such cases, workers would simply be unwilling to work somewhere that cannot provide an income to meet their needs.

You describe a problem generated through moral hazard.
I don't understand the need to make embarrassed noises around "Florida". I am a New Yorker who gets to visit Miami with regularity including during COVID and from my obviously limited perspective, it's a well run place, much more so than NY to use an obvious example.

To make this more objective - you meet tons of folks in Florida who moved from another state recently and never the other way.
> A large majority only switches their phones when they die ...

I have a momentary double take, when I thought you meant that users only change phones when the users have died. Of course, in Chinese culture, that is done by burning offerings of paper smartphones while honouring the dead. :-)

It's not just high-school sports, and it's an awful message to send girls at such an early age: that they just have to accept male incursion where it's not wanted, and that not only will no-one in authority care, they'll even enable it and punish those who complain. Society owes women and girls better than this.
All of these comments saying that you worked a ton of jobs as a teenager and started small businesses: How many of you even realize how out of date your concept of being a teenager is like?

If a teenager is working it's in order to support their parents nowadays. They're not building any sort of higher experience flipping burgers or stocking shelves, they're tanking their education in order to survive.

It certainly as hell wasn't aligned with my teenage experience growing up poor. And more importantly think about how far a minimum wage part time job as a teenager is going to get you today vs 30 years ago relative to inflation.
That's just blackmail, like saying you have to legalize prostitution to reduce rape. No. You have to stop exploiting people or be eternally afraid of them, and eternally unable to look in the mirror. That's what needs doing.
