That sort of makes intuitive sense. Some percentage of people have relationship problems that more money doesn't necessarily help past some point--or even worsens--personal and family health issues that money can only do so much to solve, etc. But especially in HCOL areas, it seems logical that something over $75K inflation-adjusted makes various life decisions and other things easier which would reasonably correlate to happiness at some level. But which is presumably a decreasing utility function at some point for most people.
True. Advertising to help people is such a dick move! Much better to provide “there there pet” style comments and harvest some karma.

Egress prices make migrating away hard. But a lot of products don't need to push much data out of AWS, especially with VPC peering based products.
Pretty rough. I'm a senior manager/director (manage software dev managers), 20 years industry, the last 8 in big tech. I've been searching for 2 months, applied to 80 roles at 50 companies...only had three recruiter calls and trying to schedule my first phone screen. Surprised at how slow going it is. Feels like companies are being very selective about who they hire and or which roles they want to fill. I think I have a good CV and I'm barely getting noticed.
My network has been dry as well. I got some contract work, but nothing reliable/full time/long term.

So strange to go from too many jobs to even begin considering to nothing at all.
It's understandable to have that reaction to something unfamiliar. When I first encountered writing with the tone I now use, I felt offended by it--hahaha!--but then I realized I just didn't know how to respond to it. So I had to up my game!

If it's very weird to emphasize clarity over conflict, deliberate expression over reflexive reaction, curious exploration over winning, nuance over binary thinking, politeness over rudeness, and formal over disrespectful, then perhaps that attitude about what is normal and what is weird is part of the problem! Hahaha! :)

It may be wise to think about how your norms and expectations may be normalizing something bad, or contributing to a conflict that you wish to also avoid! Because if the norm leads to suffering, perhaps weirdness is the solution, then maybe we need more weird! :)
Thanks for the reply. I feel very hesitant about saying anything further anyway but I will. Consciousness is an expression of love, which is another way to describe the life in us. Consciousness as love is not complex. In our life we can choose love or the ego but it is up to us. When I say life is straight forward what I mean is, it is because it is just an expression of love each day. This isn't complex, but it can be if you want it to be. I can also respect how cells, their process and function can also seem complex but again they are just doing what they do based on their type and composition. They are all working together to help us with a vehicle to move through this life. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this for myself as well. Thanks

>Has anyone done a perf / watt scatterplot of the current AMD and Apple offerings?

Tl;dr, if you want the absolute performance on Desktop, get the Threadripper Pro.

AMD Zen 4 7800X3D, 5nm 5.04Ghz, Single Core GB6 Score @ 2833

Apple A17 Pro, 3nm 3.80Ghz, Single Core GB6 Score @ 2914

Well you can find that with Geekbench but it is very likely worst to publish it as it leads to a wrong conclusion without the basic understanding of Hardware or CPU.

The node and design whether it was tuned for Clockspeed ( Desktop ) or SoC ( Apple ). There are measurable percentage difference in the same core for Risen on desktop and Ryzen SoC. And then you have to factor in Wattage difference in Clockspeed they are operating at. You are expected to know all these basics before the scatterplot would even make sense.

The Desktop 7800X3D will likely use 20W+ in the test, while the Smartphone A17 uses at best 5W.

You will then also have to factor it a lot of these performance test are not sustainable without adequate cooling. i.e You can sustain the above performance for a very long time on 7800X3D, dont expect that on A17 inside a phone.

Many of these are pointing out the obvious. But it seems on HN we are increasingly required to do so otherwise it leads to some sort of flamewar.
maybe not as stable, but they do better in terms of life outcomes anyway . like earning more money due to name recognition and trust funds. To say otherwise is moving the goalposts. Economists when they talk about life outcomes are talking about quantifiable things like wealth.
The complete silence is eerie. I’ve never encountered it in my career.
There may be a bias here due to some correlation between employment status and participation in online discussion forums.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I've heard it is increasingly difficult for experienced devs to get jobs now. I know that my team has more or less had a hiring freeze for about 18 months now, even though the company is doing better than ever.

Based on nothing more than headlines I've read, it seems the CEO class got spooked about the economy last year and hasn't eased up yet. It doesn't help that interest rates are high, which typically bodes poorly for tech(despite megatech having plenty of cash right now due to a number of factors, along with debt held at mostly low, fixed rates). Many, many smart folks thought the economy would have died last year. My guess is that we are largely avoiding it thanks to near-record levels of debt-based federal spending(govt debt more or less becomes an asset to private sector). If high rates force the feds to cut spending(unlikely, given war and going into an election year), I think we'll see things cool quickly, but barring that I'm not so sure the economy is going to crash anytime soon. Some sectors, yes.
yet? if you still have the files, would you consider turning this into a VR experience and add in street level detail slowly over time?

if that sounds like way too much work, any chance you would open source your work for needs to add to it?
“Crime” is too broad a word. Violent crime? Sure. Porch pirates, car break ins, public intoxication/defecation, graffiti, public disturbances that people notice more, and may not be reported? Feels higher.
please do, this is great and it would be a shame to lose all this initial hard work
> Their book suggests that many women don't marry the father of their child not because they reject the concept of marriage, but because they do not see him as a reliable source of economic security or stability. They appear to have a higher bar for a potential spouse than their partners, or the fathers of their children, have met.
Before as well, of course. But prior to the ACA there was no requirement for every individual filing taxes to show they had coverage, or most businesses (even relatively small ones) to offer benefits packages.

It also changed small medical practices because suddenly everyone wanted to use this insurance they were paying for. No longer could it just be a doctor and maybe a couple of medical staff; they needed medical coders, specialized software, and so forth. Some decided to join large hospital networks (for worse, from what I have generally heard).

And this cascaded into multiple sub-industries developing around this revenue stream and the medical system. Everyone trying to sell something and grab their piece of the pie.

It was not great before, but you could go see a doctor and literally pay a small amount of cash for an appointment. Many won’t even accept anyone without insurance now.

Edit: as mburns@ pointed out, the IRS no longer asks individuals about their health insurance status since 2019.

Bark – An Open Source tool for sub-terabyte scale log aggregation
So I, along with others mates from the Open Source community created a log aggregation tool (backend tool) named Bark ( https://github.com/techrail/bark ). Some of you might be rolling your eyes thinking "yet another log aggregation tool in the pool of already existing dozens over dozens of log aggregators...why does anyone build these things!?" So here are the salient points about it:

1. It contains an aggregator server and a client - both mainly written in go but Java client is being worked upon.

2. It tries to be very easy to setup and use - binaries and docker images are available. Supply the DB URL which contains the required schema and start the server and that's it. The client library is even easier to use (a little on that later).

3. It sends the logs to a PostgreSQL server - Since PostgerSQL is much more familiar to many developers than any other search engine (like Lucene/ELK) and easier to setup than a large APM solution, it is fairly straightforward for most (of course, not all) backend developers.

Now, on paper this looks like a really bad decision since PostgreSQL is not suitable for crazy insert speeds or loads of textual data or FTS. However, the focus here is to be like a step between plaintext logs and the enterprise-ready terabyte-scale software like ELK, NewRelic, Splunk, DataDog etc. This tool (bark) does not aim to be an APM at all and is not really targeted towards installations which produce more than a few GBs of data everyday. For such usecases, it is better to use other tools. But it does try to ease the way into structured remote logging. The performance of the server is approximately around 2000-3000 logs per second without an index and 1500-2000 with a single-column index on timestamp column and 5 DB connections.

The go client supports 3 modes of operation:

1. stdout logging: The most normal case - you just start dumping the logs to your standard output. You can also choose to dump it in a file. It uses the `log/slog` package from go 1.21 for achieving this.

2. Sending logs to a server: You can create a client of bark which can connect to Bark server which can accept REST API calls and save those entries to the DB. This is useful when you have multiple services which want to store the logs at a central place. You can still do stdout logging on the client.

3. Embedded server side in the client: This use-case is in between the two options above. The idea is that when you still have a monolith but want to send the logs to the DB (you can still dump a copy of the logs to your stdout), but you don't want to setup another service.

The interesting point is - you can use the embedded server side in client method at scale too: you can just create a client in all (multiple) services which then send the logs directly to the DB.

I hope it helps someone other than me too.
Isn't Equifax part of a de facto monopoly? Okta doesn't have that luxury. Security is also not Equifax's core competency, but it is supposed to be Okta's. I would be happy for you to be right, but I think this happening a second time to Okta is going to cause massive damage to their reputation in the industry.
You can argue whether it's negligence, but negligence doesn't make it not an accident.

I shared global per-capita murder rates by city, a notoriously difficult-to-falsify metric. I verified the data's reliability by cross-referencing Wikipedia (Statista) with official UN and OECD sources.

Regarding prostitution in Colombia, it's legalized since 2016, which may explain its greater visibility.

Colombia's major exports are commodities; while tourism has grown, it's not the primary export.
I laughed out loud - that's one approach to solve most problems. Just multiply by 0, lol. Interestingly it works on my iPad, but opening it on my PC shows the calculator with a result that looks more plausible at the first sight.
Yes, propaganda happens. Doesn't make them not accidents.
Designing an SBC around a proprietary SoC from a notoriously secretive company to "inspire young programmers" never seemed like anything more than PR stunt to me. IMHO that mission is better served by getting them into something like retrocomputing and exposing them to the actually open PC-compatible ecosystem of the time, instead of encouraging them to participate in another thinly-veiled walled garden.
Even threatening Apple with the ACCC is almost always enough to get a full repair or replace. ACCC policy is very clear and strict. If you have to go speak to the ACCC, Apple have likely already broken the law.

You raise a compelling point about personal responsibility and the concept of victimhood. In any complex conflict like this, it's crucial to examine evidence and understand the intricate dynamics at play. It's challenging to pinpoint responsibility, especially when multiple parties are involved and have their own agendas.

Your comment about autodetermination for both sides strikes me as particularly important. While many focus on assigning blame, it might be more productive to put our energies into finding sustainable solutions that respect the autodetermination of all parties involved. After all, perpetual cycles of blame rarely contribute to meaningful resolution.
You are not testing for Memory capacity, you could have a test where the whole data fits in 16GB of memory.

But the memory is required there to populate the memory channel which push the CPU performance to max.
I guess you could just answer my question instead of digressing.

Trains do compete with planes.

Consider San Francisco to Los Angeles, for example. That’s about 9 million people a year who fly? It’s only 400 miles.

New York to Boston. Washington DC to New York.

When you’re traveling 300 miles an hour, you can get pretty far in two to three hours.
I'm sure there's a style guide out there that would suggest using "The widowed."
Which Americans? Busses are probably almost certainly going to be cheaper given existing highway and other road infrastructure that isn't going away.

So now we're talking about wealthier people and (somewhat overlapping) business travelers who tend to value comfort, convenience, and schedule to at least some degree over cost. Never say never but it seems a tough sell for most city pairings/routes given that just acquiring land would be a huge cost even if everything else were free.
You should take your own advice, because have no clue what a context switch even is.

P.S. C++ async is entirely about running on embedded hardware, not about "overhead".

P.P.S. All garbage-collected languages have a GIL of some sort. This is the real reason GC languages aren't used in systems programming, not GC pauses.
You would be a victim of fraud, assuming the insurer knew they didn't have the assets. They were selling you security which didn't exist.

Ah, I did not previously know that there were a plural number of Satoshi wallets. I previously read that Hal Finney was the first recipient of a Bitcoin and which came from Satoshi Nakamoto and assumed that there was just a single Satoshi wallet which would mean there is key reuse.
As many places adopted compstat like programs in that timeframe, you should be wary of statistics that aren’t tied to verifiable or insured events.

I’d trust auto theft and homicide and ignore the rest.

Understanding context around police reporting is key.

Exactly, you see this to a more extreme degree in South America.

Particularly Rio, Buenos Aires, and Asuncion.

Rio is don’t take your phone out if you don’t want it to get stolen.

BA is you might get mugged at night.

Asuncion is you can forget your phone at a cafe and someone will run after you to give it to you but don’t go to the bad areas or you’ll get killed.

Oddly Asuncion is the poorest city of them all, but also by far the most conservative. In Rio the women will rob you, in Asuncion not even the Venezuelans who live on the street will rob you.
In this blog posts scenario, the user has the device and the receipt, but the device is locked to another iCloud account. Is that sufficient here?

What stops me from selling my laptop anonymously, robbing it from the person I sold it to, then having Apple unlock it?

I know it seems a weird case, but there are some pretty wild and convoluted scams out there, and this is pretty tame in comparison.
> It's not. HN is obsessed with trying to "gotcha" electric cars, any form of power generation other than nuclear, public/alternative transit, etc.

I've noticed this happening with off-grid setups. People will post a YT video with something where solar covers >90% of their use, but people will point to the generator as some sort of gotcha.

In a lot of cases, neither alone would have been practical. That's not a gotcha, that's smart pairing of technology to produce a solution to a real problem. But instead we get a parade of "see you still need diesel". :facepalm
Yes and I would break my NDA to answer a random question on HN for what personal gain?
I agree. Rocket science is a good analogy here, there is no way to simulate space, on the other hand there are a number of smart checks you can do when a rocket is updated before putting it back on the launchpad.
I feel sad just reading this reply has to be spelled out so clearly on HN. The standard practice that has been the case since before the Internet.
It's amazing that this is the best explanation of passkey that exists on the web.
This was a delightful bed time read... it got even better when I starting fact checking it and nothing stood out as wrong.
CEO class is spooked by either haemorrhaging money during Covid or haemorrhaging after (depending on what kind of company is was).

Then economy was “definitely a recession coming” for like 12 months. I think people are waiting for a rate cut to unclench their sphincter and start hiring again.

That, and likely it all got a bit over the top anyway. When you have Meta product managers with TikTok videos about how cushy their job is, you know there was a bubble.
Acela is already pretty competitive with flying. I never fly that route unless I'm connecting to another plane. It's a horrible drive (although, given where I live, driving would be faster). And getting into Manhattan from the airports is pretty horrible too. But it would be a huge cost to shave an hour off the route. As it is, I tend to take the regional train rather than the Acela if it's my own money because the time difference isn't much and the cost is about 2x.
I have observed high speed rail lines in Asia and Europe and there is one commonality — a very large percentage of the rail lines are built either on elevated tracks near populated areas, or underground for sections. While this certainly adds cost, it seems to me (would love this to be confirmed by somebody who knows) that the costs are more likely to be closer to the projection. It appears in the US many of these plans rely upon lower costs where the train is built on the ground. So they end up building tons of small bridges, regrading roads, moving wires, moving drainage, communication equipment etc as the train interacts with existing infrastructure. All of the unknowns of hundreds of miles of that ends up costing tons of money and risk. So you have some consultant saying “well elevated costs 2x what doing it on the ground does” or something and in the end they build it on the ground for 4x the original cost due to having to handle zillions of little motivations all over the place. My take — just elevate it and simplify the situation. It ends up being basically the best of all worlds in the end.

Well, people do talk about Karens, shrews, bitches, etc. which all seem to be different kinds of toxic women. Maybe there are just more named subsets for toxic women than for men?
It's the "I personally think the FDA and OSHA should not exist part" which makes me get "I don’t think we should have rules" from your comment.
My question is, what would it take to reduce the cost of maglev trains.

China has tried, but they are expensive. Japan is building an expensive maglev over the next couple decades.
The successor to that one is the USS Trayer. It's at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. It's a 2/3 scale Navy destroyer, indoors, in a water tank alongside a pier. It's not just a mockup; it's a large-scale simulator, and most of the equipment works. New Navy recruits go through a 12-hour training exercise on the ship, called "Battle Stations 21". The Navy doesn't give out full details, but fire and flooding are involved.
Certainly timely. Given that Jon’s “young hip” audience demographic might skew pro-Palestinian, and his friends, family and business associates skew pro-Israeli, it’s difficult to see how he could stay edgy, reasonably balanced and fair, and still have someone to sit next to at Passover Seder. This way, his leaving is China’s fault (which it also might be) and he didn’t have to explain or have others justify his departure in the context of Middle East politics and Jon’s own religious beliefs. Tiptoeing between the raindrops….
I choose to censor myself all the time out of consideration. My issue is when the law mandates and controls political speech

If you are American you are safe because political speech has a high level of protection in the US.

If like me you are non American - even if you are from a G8 nation, you are watching your right to criticize the government slowly errode. But even if you are American, can you really go to court over a social media post.

There should be something that at least restricts government action to the limits set out in the constitution

If some fascist gets to be in charge of the US, can’t they just change the rules, ignore them entirely, or just use the media to change the truth and make people actually support their actions? You almost had this happen in 2021. Let alone any extra-judicial actions that governments take in the name of national security.

I firmly believe that if even any so-called democratic government wants to do something nominally illegal to you they will find a way. Maybe in a so-called democratic country decades later you’ll be exonerated or the perpetrators will be punished but that won’t be much help to you.
