Money is good for solving problem which have a price tag. Is this all problems? No, but its's a lot. Fun fact: Medicare and Medicaid exclude a lot of things, like teeth implants, hearing aids, glasses, elective procedures. having money helps in that regard.

3. The richer you become, the less likely people around you are to tell you when you’re wrong, crazy, mean, or oblivious.

Hmm..elon musk? People are always telling him how crazy he is. But maybe not the people close to him, who should have talked him out of buying Twitter for $44 billion, which was dumb.

This is especially true when what made you rich was some form of advertising your success in a way that made others want to help and support you. When admiration turns to envy, that support dwindles, and people’s tolerance for your errors shrinks. If a no-name journalist wrote a book obliquely defending Sam Bankman-Fried, no one would care – they may have actually congratulated the author. But since Michael Lewis did, the pitchforks came out.

The pitchforks came out not because of a low-tolerance for errors, but his trying to whitewash an obvious fraud and general lack of basic understanding and rewriting of history of the FTX scam.

Don't forget stability issues. Flash was (before being banished to a separate process) the single largest contributor of crashes in Firefox, responsible for about ⅓ of them. Even in its dying days, I'd "fix" a slow page by wandering over to a terminal and typing "kill -9 plugin-container" to kill all the Flash instances on the page.

I shed tears for the Flash games that were killed off by the demise of Flash. I don't shed any tears for Flash itself.

> 2. What I'm describing is a recent phenomenon. A gradual shift that we're seeing in the last decade or so, so relationships established at the beginning of 2010 and before tend to be more traditional/conservative.

There is room for considerable bias here;

1. Most generations consider their immediate neighbors more and less conservative, going back and forward respectively

2. People become more conservative with age; particularly when major investments are in play such as a home purchase and having children. It's a small coincidence that children and mortgages both take about 20 years to come to fruition.

> Do you personally think the healthcare received by the average UK citizen is better than the US?

Objectively it is. Average US healthcare outcomes are towards the bottom end of industrialized countries, comparable to Czechia or Turkey. And they pay a hell of a lot more for it. US outcomes for "I can pay as much as it takes" wealthy people are very good - but they're very good in the UK too (private medicine does exist in the UK, it's just not very popular because why waste money on something you can get for free?).
Discrimination is both unethical and illegal. People who reject based on vibe are bad people.

It depends on the context. For example, fashion for men and women was all pretty wild in post-war America (imo, specifically during the 80s), but stayed pretty colorful throughout the 2000s, until this decade.

Since the ruling classes have been hammering the message that men are useless it's a normal cultural reaction for men to become more manly. Women instead have been told that sex sells and it does, so that's their cultural reaction to the problems of today.

At least for now; but as disorder keeps mounting, inflation rises, and so on, patience for the regimes falls, and more conservative fashions come back, which means the times for the ruling classes are frail and volatile.
Would love to see more open source competitors in this space. I was excited when I saw a Github link, but that's basically hosting just a README and the only one I know of is GeoPix [0], but to be fair I haven't used either LX Studio or GeoPix. LX Studio does look exciting though, I will evaluate it on my next LED mapped project. A few projects I've done in the past have been playing with Enttec ELM [1] which is also not open source (but does not have a vague license like LX Studio and is fairly priced). A really neat feature of that software though is you can map GLSL shaders over your stages.

Where I lived in (western) Germany, there were still loads of pillboxes and bunkers from the war. The ones they did have to destroy often required ridiculous amounts of explosive to have any effect. I went on a tour of the area once and the guide mentioned how they had needed to flood some of the bunkers with water first to increase the efficacy of the explosives.
Zen 4 is known to be noticeable more efficient then Zen 3 and even much much more so then Zen 2 so I don't think this comparison is helpful.
Yeah but the original post was talking about "Linux" which doesn't really have any use for that on the kernel level. I also doubt Freedesktop are going to specify special ELF sections or something for icons.
Right — the implication is that we made all those people sick in the first place, and the associated cost of food/agriculture science isn’t worth it.
Oh boy

I have ideas
They know how it's being used, spend millions on downplaying and denying its harms and lobby the government to loosen safety restrictions on its use.

This is the same excuse drug dealers use when selling substances they know are being abused and harm people. Following your logic, the MSDS sheets for heroin and fentanyl make it clear on how they should be dealt with safely.
This is a great, informative comment.

You're also being downvoted, surely, because you're needlessly insulting HN'ers in your first paragraph.

I'm curious to find resources on learning this tool however I was only able to find the tutorials from LXStudio.

Is anyone using this software in production and can comment on its experience vs. TouchDesigner? TouchDesigner's node system always pissed me off, as it felt like an unnecessary barrier that just made things harder.

Also in general, any VJs on hacker news?

EDIT: Some more instructions to run the application would be great, after loading the project locally and running `mvn validate`, I'm seeing the program execute but nothing is showing up on my screen.

Nope. It's on its way down towards pre-covid levels, but still (by the article's estimate for 2023) 10% higher than pre-covid.

Such a bad headline. Look at the raw data at https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crim...

Pre-covid, around 4.5 - 5.5 per 100k ppl per year.

2020 jumped up to 6.5

2021 up to 6.8

2022 down to 6.3 - AMAZING DROP!

2023 ~5.5 (based on estimated 12% drop)- AMAZING DROP!!! WHY AREN'T PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH CRIME IS GOING DOWN!?!?!

Hard to tell how much of this is simply inept journalism, and how much is fed by a broken incentive system.
I imagine your perception of "straight forward and simple", is itself a simplification of the many complexities that make up one's life; for example, to start with, the infinite biological complexity of the cells, nervous system, brain, and pondering how thoughts and ideas flow through one's consciousness...
Not how I remembered this era. When I got my first NT beta CD in 1992 the place I worked already had public IP connectivity and NT already had working TCP/IP. We were pulling new beta releases down from the MS ftp server (rhino.microsoft.com) by early 1993. It was Windows 3.1 that was developed without consideration of internet networking.
Android did support it for a time though, it was a pretty good selling point in fact... but then google dropped it too :(

Okay, some interesting things about this competition:

It looks like a gimmick rally, not a race. So not racing pace, and you get penalized for going too fast.

The organizers provided a truck to charge the ev cars, nice. Logistics for gas are a lot more accessible, you need a service vehicle with fuel tanks in the bed.

It’s still worth pointing out to counter a narrative. Since the onset of COVID we’ve had a new President from a different party and there’s been a lot of talk attributing bad crime figures to Democratic control.

If it’s reverting to pre-COVID levels that seems like a much stronger suggestion that it has very little to do with who is in charge.
I became an EM fairly early in my career, and was very aware of how much I didn't know, so I completed an MBA.

It helped with:

- the formal stuff of management; legal obligations, how to fire someone properly, etc.

- leadership training. The difference between leadership and management. What leadership involves, and how to do it well (although a lot of that is down to innate charisma, there are some things we can learn).

- basic management stuff: how to interview someone, how to organise a meeting, how to negotiate.

It was useful. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for everyone; I think I could have got the same benefit from a smaller, more focussed management course. But having an MBA as an engineer definitely leads to interesting places.
Oh man you can load local files. Just mucked around with the first game I ever made in high school, man I miss doing that stuff.
Dogs are super empathetic and often reflect the emotional state of their owners. So in addition to lack of exercise, etc, their anxiety and strange behaviors are often a way to react to or support you.

I’ve had many Labrador Retrievers in my life, as hunting dogs in my youth and now as family pets. They’ve always been calm, and a big part of that is that we’re calm people.

Every dog is different, but their loyalty and empathy serve us in many ways. They are great at telling us things, if only we would listen.
Most impressive is how it was with a stock truck.
The very idea of having a `SecurityManager` that runs in the same VM is nonsensical, but that's what Java did. Java was designed - and widely used - as a general-purpose language with full platform capabilities.

Flash at least implemented a VM with a fairly minimal surface. It can only blame its quality of implementation.

Zxcvbn – Low-Budget Password Strength Estimation
> The main way universal systems get better numbers on some metrics is that people with no coverage often have extremely poor outcomes, which when averaged in results in poor averages. But the average for people in the US with insurance is better than it is in many systems with universal coverage, which is an important metric because the large majority of people in the US do have insurance and their own outcomes is very much a thing that they care about.

The large majority of people in the US might lose their insurance at any moment with no recourse, thanks to at-will employment. So they should care about the average outcomes including people without insurance.

> You could bring about a large improvement in average outcomes in the US merely by providing an insurance subsidy for lower income people to increase the number of people with coverage.

Either this wouldn't work or something has gone terribly wrong with your system, since this hasn't been done.
Having just read up on it, sure. But that is a very restricted use case as you could only use your wallet for a single send transaction and that has already happened for the specific case of Satoshi's wallet.

I believe you could scaffold up a system even with a 1-send limit that transparently functions the same as what currently exists since you can issue transactions to multiple parties within a single send, but that largely kills Bitcoin as normally used. All but the most sophisticated users would be required to hand over control of their wallet to actually manage the massive proliferation of addresses needed to act as if you have more than a 1-send limit. But sure, you are technically correct that there exists a very narrow use case which you can probably hijack aggressively enough to salvage the system if you tried hard enough.

You never qualified either with “in my particular use case”. If you had, I would have had no argument. I haven’t been flown into your company along with SAs, sales, project managers, etc for a week to do a proper “as-is” assessment and to see what your requirements are.

I haven’t accessed the competencies of your staff or determined what is your competitive advantage and what is the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” in your company.

I would never make any blanket statements without knowing your specific use case and automatically assume “cloud” is always the right or wrong answer

You don't want to reach that point. You want to stay below that point, because what brings satisfaction and happiness in life is something called the "power process".

I was hoping someone would mention the variational properties of splines, so I'm glad to see you bring up their energy minimization. In Strang's Intro to Applied Mathematics, he briefly mentions (at the end of the section on splines) that a spline interpolation can be found by minimum principles, since it's essentially passing a beam in bending through the control points. I was curious if anyone has used that practically, eg writing a finite element spline solver?

There seems to be a fairly huge non-sequitur in the middle of the article: Homicides have fallen, but people say they believe crime has risen in their area, therefore perception is wrong.

It's entirely possible that homicide has fallen back to the pre-Covid level, but pettier crimes are on the increase, and not being recorded due to lighter-touch policing as cited earlier in the article.
