Apparently they had a psychiatrist character named Harvey Dorfman:

Harvey: “Look, I’m Dr. Harvey Dorfman. I wrote the book Success Through Fear. [Audience laughs.]…I live in the South End, so perhaps I can help you. And I’m a psychologist, so I’m qualified to help you. And I’m sympathetic, so I’d like to help you. Can I help you?”

I love the line about "Success Through Fear."

I'd be curious to know if Dorfman had a Boston accent. Frasier's character worked because he was an outsider to Boston. Also, IIRC his references to psychiatry were supposed to come off as earnest-- and often pretentious-- setups for the other characters' punch lines, unlike this quote.

These are specific lines you’ve drawn. Maybe you can provide a scenario in which this is accountability is required…

A good agent will spend the entire 30-45 day process ensuring their client is getting what they want and what they are paying for. A good agent does not want a buyer to end up in a house that is bad for them in any way. And even then that’s only counting the days between the acceptance of an offer to closing day. Oftentimes an agent will spend months or even a year or more with clients.

Ask HN: Why is there no modern successor to the 3D Pinball games of yesteryear?
I recall games like Full Tilt! Pinball and the 3D pinball game included in Windows were pretty popular and good showcases for the speed and quality of computer graphics back in the 90s. Then it occured to me that modern GPUs like the nVidia 4090 would be incredible for simulating a pinball machine with insane fidelity using RTX ray tracing and the optimized physics simulator (PhysX) they have. You could probably end up with something that truly looks and feels like the real thing. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but after doing a quick search on Steam, I don't see anything like that on the market. Why do you think that is? Would it really be so hard to do? Wouldn't that be popular?

I know I'd love to see it just because it would be such a great showcase for the power of modern machines, especially the integration of super realistic physics. Imagine bumping the machine hard to cheat? Or being able to smash the glass with a hammer and then put objects in the case and see what happens to them while you play? Could also be an amazing physics education thing if you could see real-time free-body diagrams overlaid on the ball that you could freeze in time and study showing all the forces acting on it. You could turn a dial and see what it would be like to play pinball on the moon! I hope someone sees this and makes it!

The Groq AI chip startup has solved this problem. They don't use hand written kernels at all, instead they use a compiler, and they have the top speed in the world on LLaMA2-70B, 240tokens/s.

https://www.youtube.com/@GroqInc/videos

Other interesting Groq tidbits - their models are deterministic, the whole system up to thousands of chips runs in sync on the same clock, memory access and network are directly controlled without any caches or intermediaries so they also run deterministically.

That speeds up communication and allows automatic synchronisation across thousands of chips running as one single large chip. The compiler does all the orchestration/optimisation. They can predict the exact performance of an architecture from compile time.

What makes Groq different is that they started from the compiler, and only later designed the hardware.

Honest question, why are we not all just on IPV6 now? It seems like at this point almost all the underlying hardware and software should support it?

It seems like the only argument for sticking with IPv4 is NAT, but I can't think of a technical reason we couldn't do NAT with IPv6?

I don't see the issue here. They're solving a real problem for developers with their open-source solution and telling people about it.
I'm a little surprised they wouldn't continue to sell the obvious bestsellers but doing so would probably be a rounding error for them and someone like Walmart in particular is certainly a lot better positioned to capitalize on DVD impulse purchases when people are in the store for something else.

> Land with a skyscraper already on it and land next to a skyscraper have related but not equal market values.

I agree! But in appraisals that I have seen, there is an effort to assess the highest and best use of a parcel as well as a break-out of the value of the land associated with a parcel.

If the highest and best use of a parcel is a skyscraper, a sale of the parcel should occur near the valuation of skyscrapers in that area. If there is no skyscraper on the parcel, the sale should occur near the valuation of land that has the possibility to be turned into a skyscraper.

> Switching from a tax on market value to a tax on land value rewards the the owner who developed their land and punishes the owner who didn't.

I agree that the owner who built the skyscraper is being penalized (but also, the owner would not have created a sksyscraper if the underwriting did not show the endeavor would be profitable).

However, both land owners are being taxed on land value; one is also being taxed on the improvements on the land. It would seem that the land value of both parcels should be the same.
First, final returns have never been available in one day. Results reported the night of and day after are preliminary, and the canvassing process (essentially the routine audit and resolution of abnormal ballots like provisionals) routinely takes weeks.

Second, the US has not switched away from paper ballots. Only a minority of states use DRE (direct-recording electronic) voting today, and a minority of those use DRE without paper trail (the number of these systems is decreasing with time as well). The most common voting system in the US is precinct tabulation, in which paper ballots are cast and counted on site, then retained for audit.

DRE voting was only really introduced to the US as a result of the short-timeline requirements of the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which required disability-accessible voting be available in all precincts. At the time, DRE machines without paper trail were the most affordable option that met accessibility requirements, and most states have very little money to spend on their voting equipment. In large part because of controversy around DRE machines, DRE machines with voter verifiable paper audit trail (DRE/VVPAT) and paper ballots with accessible ballot marking devices (BMDs) are now the norm for new systems. States still using DRE without VVPAT are generally only using it because they have not been able to afford to replace equipment.

The sort of economy required to build a top-tier military nowadays requires international trade and cooperation.

Seems to me that the intent is to get people to stop stealing his IP, no?
Thankfully, this is not common outside NY and California. Most other states (27 at last count) have constitutional carry, and at least in my area (small city) violent crime is extremely rare, since pretty much everyone has a gun or access to one. Our crime consists of theft and DUIs.

I can't imagine what would happen if cops tried a protection racket here...
No, insurance doesn't have to cover it, because even in these cases where large retailers are crying about theft, it's still not the primary cause of shrinkage in their businesses! Grocers still lose more product to employee theft or just breaking stuff during handling.

Even in California where there's some conspiracy theory about how "It's the DAs fault the police aren't doing anything", as if it's the police's responsibility, or even their jurisdiction, to pick and choose who should go to jail.

Cops should be bringing in people violating the law even if nobody ever went to prison!
Freesco – Single Floppy Router project (2012)
I rarely upvote posts themselves because I forget (I'm trying to do it more), I do upvote comments that I really agree with, offer a really insightful or knowledgable take, or posts that open or change my perspective. I almost never downvote. The only comments I feel should be downvoted are ones containing blatant hate speech like racism. Anything else is tribalism and I would rather all voices be given a chance to speak.

If they're wrong then they won't accumulate upvotes. It's like comedy - if it's funny, people will laugh, if it's not, then they won't. This is why I'm not particularly a fan of the increasing unreadability of downvoted comments - it feels like silencing people. It also gives undue influence to the first readers of the piece and allows individuals or groups with agendas to target and downvote things they don't like with the aim of getting it taken out of the conversation early. I do unfortunately observe this behaviour on contentious topics more regularly than I would like.

If you don't agree with a comment, you should either just ignore it, leave a comment stating why you disagree or ask why the commentator has come to that conclusion. This is far more likely to have a positive impact than downvoting, which is only going to make someone feel attacked, alienated and misunderstood.

Yes that is precisely what happens here. It's intentional.

It also doesn't scale up high enough, because the pool of candidates is smaller. It's a big part of why you won't see large companies hiring this way, typically. The other big part is that big companies have lawyers who see potential for lawsuits due to discrimination.

I'm with you on the first part ("degrowth", at least in terms of energy consumption), but not on the second part. Since most CO2 is consumed by the relatively rich, just going Thanos and killing half of the earth wouldn't help if it was the poor half.
Thus, we have to start consuming less. I feel like all the solutions right now are only band-aid and no one is honest enough to talk about the elefant in the room. The elefant is clearly saying we could consume less but we don't wanna. So we are still prioritising the present at the cost of the future. We try to have a little more luxury today but by doing this bring misery down the road. The narrative (and politics) has to change dramatically for us as citizens to change. Less consumption means a livable future.
Is human readable IP that important though? I mean even though I know about CIDR it's still hard for me to intuitively think about it, and I will say by far the part of kubernetes I dislike the most is figuring out the networking layer design. I feel like the only reason we need human readable IP's in the first place is for understanding all this NAT stuff that we wouldn't particularly need if we had bigger IP ranges

Ask HN: Best way to scale a project that may potentially have 10M users?
Hi guys,

I am thinking of starting a very simple service that may have about 10 million users.

I am thinking of using a hosted database like MongoDB's Atlas, Firebase, or cloud flare's KV. So I am not so worried about the database part.

What I am worried about is the application logic that I intend to write in flask and purely python.

How do I make sure that the application can support 10 million users, without going down? Scaling down & scaling up server resources according to usage.

What approach would be best for a solo dev? i.e least complex & easiest to manage, not necessarily the cheapest or more effective way.

My only experience of running a software service is having less than a dozen users for some finance company on a $3 per month Amazon Light Sail. I don't have any experience on building a service with serious numbers of users.
