I used Dark Sky for years before the acquisition (my iTunes receipt says I bought it Apr 2015). I loved its UI, and while it gave very precise predictions, its accuracy was not great. When it came to rain prediction of start/stop times, I repeatedly found that other apps were more accurate, and the reason I know this is because my gf and I walk outside everyday, and during the winter rain season we'd compare forecasts from our phones. Hers was more accurate most of the time, and Dark Sky was outright wrong very often.

But I continued to use Dark Sky because the UI was great at showing the hourly sun/temp conditions (accurate enough) at a glance, and it doesn't rain often in SF so the accuracy of rain predictions wasn't important to me. Also I'd paid for it: no adverts, no subscription.

It seemed weird to me that Apple acquired Dark Sky's poor rain prediction but didn't use the best part of Dark Sky's UI. Worst of both worlds.
Interesting! I stopped using Jetbrains IDEs by that time, which is why I didn’t mention it.
I believe its frowned upon for people of all social classes, but there's less discussion about those who "don't have to work" because taxpayers are not funding their lives.
Because it is a national priority for the US government to support Ukraine, and SpaceX and Tesla both have significant relationships, directly or indirectly, with the US government. Especially SpaceX.
You're proving his point.

$1k isn't enough to do anything with, so it's going to get wasted on vice.

Go give 1k to a homeless guy...he'll still be homeless, and probably dead thanks to what you enabled.

Qualify them for food stamps or something if you want to help. Cash always leads to trouble.
I love how people are so confident with their completely incorrect statements that could be disproven in 30 seconds on Google. HN is basically reddit now.
And if the Apollo “success” is any guide, it actually hampers further progress because the milestone was overhyped with no sustainable plan.

Consciously? No. Like I said, public sentiment doesn't work that way. People don't want deflation. They want reasonable prices. Its not rational. The only sensible way to achieve that is to get wages increasing so the relative cost of living goes back down.
> $6k/year might actually just cover the premiums for a small family (

This is not true anywhere in the US. The lowest premiums are ~$400 per person per month for bronze level insurance.

Lowest premiums for a family of four would be ~$2k per month plus annual deductible of $5k to $10k plus annual out of pocket maximum of ~$10k to $17k (legal limit).

The Medicaid trust is the way around that. It's not a great solution, but it's at least something if you're in that position and have the time to plan.
The idea that $12k is enough to allow you to be lazy and not work in Los Angeles is completely ignorant of the cost of the city. That is a third of a full time minimum wage job. That money is going to stop a lot more people from being homeless than it will cause people to quit their job.

That is a narrative that is majorly rejected outside of Russia. Inside Russia, this is taken on faith, because, well, its Russia.

Of course, invading and occupying parts of a country isn't considered as imperialism in Russia itself if its the one doing it, because..well..its Russia.
Many countries in Europe have been in an economic malaise for some time now.

https://archive.ph/dqbDH

> The eurozone economy grew about 6% over the past 15 years, measured in dollars, compared with 82% for the U.S., according to International Monetary Fund data. That has left the average EU country poorer per head than every U.S. state except Idaho and Mississippi, according to a report this month by the European Centre for International Political Economy, a Brussels-based independent think tank. If the current trend continues, by 2035 the gap between economic output per capita in the U.S. and EU will be as large as that between Japan and Ecuador today, the report said.

> The European Union now accounts for about 18% of all global consumption spending, compared with 28% for America. Fifteen years ago, the EU and the U.S. each represented about a quarter of that total.

> Adjusted for inflation and purchasing power, wages have declined by about 3% since 2019 in Germany, by 3.5% in Italy and Spain and by 6% in Greece. Real wages in the U.S. have increased by about 6% over the same period, according to OECD data.
It seems like there's a range of better and worse ways to do it. The contemporaneous and comparable film "The Day of the Jackal" has a seduction element that is central to the plot, so it doesn't seem shoehorned in.
So I just Googled "2023 browser benchmarks" and aside from one result that went Firefox, Edge, ..., Chrome, every single one I've read has been "1. Chrome 2. Edge ..."

Obviously Google could be biasing the results so I asked ChatGPT with Bing and got:

1. Google Chrome
2. Microsoft Edge
Whenever you see weasel words like that, it means the compiler knows that the issue you encountered could be what it is saying but the necessary metadata to figure out for sure is inaccessible to it. It's the problem with classical stage-oriented compilers. A compiler designed for diagnostics from the beginning would end up looking like a plate of spaghetti where you can call type checking from the parser, to give an example.
> taxpayers are not funding their lives

Right, because they all still pay their fair share of taxes, medicare, and social security?
I read that page, then browsed Wikipedia a little on desktop. It's a site that I use very often and I didn't notice anything weird. I could have sworn that it has been the theme of Wikipedia for at least 10 years.

I also checked if I had created some rules for that site in Stylus and uBlock Origin, nothing. For once I'm lucky that a change didn't destroy one of my workflows. One could say that if I didn't notice the transition they could have spared themselves all the work, or one could argue that they performed a perfect job.

Anyway, I get directly to the page I need from Google. I found several threads on Reddit complaining about the change and this one https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/10g2cir/im_prett... I see a different usage pattern "all I had to do was open the site and use the search bar. And then from there it was easy to get to the main page, current events, etc." The home page, current events? I'm sure I never heard about current events before now and about the home page, I know that there is one but the search bar of my browser is closer to Wikipedia's internal pages.
Powerful technology corporations are good for American hard and soft power. Also, they can create crucial technology. OpenAI would be nowhere without the transformer.
I can definitely comprehend it, I have met some TS talibans and I'm not one of them

What I can't comprehend is wanting types and building a custom library instead of using the right tool

I also just don't get the resistance to TS that we see so often in public projects and npm libraries, it's not harder or any more complicated:

JS REPL: "node"

TS REPL: "npx ts-node"

Run JS file: "node file.js"

Run TS file: "npx ts-node file.ts"

Just do it.
Interesting view "When I say AGI, I mean a machine that can do the sorts of cognitive things that people can typically do, possibly more."
If they're getting screwed in pricing or availability vs a competitor, yes. They're asking "how's long do we have to stay with this bad option before we can switch?"
Unemployment is way down, real wages are up even compared to before Covid-19, and inflation is back to normal levels.

The large majority of people are doing well. When people say the economy sucks they are largely not talking about their own economic situation. Most people believe that they, personally, are doing well, but that some nebulous "the economy" is doing badly. We have a nation of thriving people who believe everything is falling apart.

Is Dribbble Really Dead?
I appreciate your point, but would have 1k/month have actually changed your struggle or motivation? Or to put another way, why weren't you spending all the money you did make on weed and whiskey?
You're ignoring mental health and addiction just as much though. Both are complex and interrelated. Poverty is incredibly stressful; my mental health was never as bad as it was when I was homeless.

Harm reduction is effective. I literally got off the street because someone gave me a garage to sleep (and use drugs!) in and $14k. Having a private space meant I stopped getting arrested for using, didn't risk losing all my possessions every time I went to a job interview. Allowed me to think about a future farther than 30 hours away. I could afford (and store) weed and beer instead of vodka and crack. I didn't have to be obliterated to sleep through the cold & noise of the highway under the bridge.

The first small steps were only possible because no one held me to the sort of standard you're advocating for.
I really prefer text based interviews rather than audio based interviews.

I can parse, text more quickly than audio and I see no transcript here which is a letdown.

Great re-design! I love it. Congratulations.
If you project the first three quarters of GDP growth, the US should end the year with $27.6 Trillion of GDP. The annualized rate is 8.5% without adjusting for inflation. Inflation adjusted, the annual rate of growth is 3.75% in the first three quarters.

In that case, the $1.7 Trillion deficit is 6.1% of GDP, so actually a half-percent lower than your calculations.
well there is no mention of active spying, nor obligation. The original text in chinese sounds even more vague. I don't know how it will be interpreted by a judge but I think personal obligation is a bit exaggerated.
I have invested more than that in both cohorts, and would do it again. Everything is luck, the money buys dice rolls. Some dice are weighted towards success more than others. I like to gamble on people, it’s a worthy cause and brings me happiness.

With regards to mental health and addiction, I support Medicare for All and robust access to mental health and addiction treatment for those in need. We have the means, we simply choose not to implement efficiently. Set the tax rate at whatever is necessary. There will never be perfection, never the perfect time for policy components. Implement what you can when you can and accept good enough is all that can be done.
Do you have a source for that claim? I think laypeople know google serves them custom ads, but don’t understand how or the extent to which adtech is tracking and profiling them to select those ads.

In fact, because it’s a common trope to say “they must have been listening to our conversation” when served an eerily specific ad, I’d wager people do not know about adtech at all.
I really hope those pow(x, 2) calls are getting turned into x * x, else it's a performance catastrophe / extreme beginner mistake even with vectorisation.

Also, this kind of ultra wide buffering consumes a ton of memory bandwidth for each operation, instead of keeping a small portion in cache/registers. FLOPs are scaling sort of infinitely, whereas memory speed is flat, so this is increasingly a losing game; just because it's faster than glacial Python doesn't mean it's fast compared to a language which actually concerns itself with performance or a more cache aware approach.

The ones who adopt a scientific approach are by far the worst.
Design is ultimately all about how things ought to be, an act of judgement, meanwhile science is wholly unsuitable for such questions, since it only tells us what is, which following Hume, cannot on its own lead to conclusions about what ought to be.

You get a sort of garbage-in-garbage-out effect if you apply science to a field like design, where it only serves to amplify your own convictions, as what is being fed into the scientific process as unquestioned assumptions inevitably fall out of it as conclusions.

At best you get KPI driven design, which is a vehicle for enshittification, not for building great design.

Life in the US is very good. Rich country. But obviously on the decline. State capacity is low mostly because local populace is attempting to return to a world that was always fictional by stalling all development. Decline will not be arrested because local population will constantly blame billionaires and so on for failures caused by local popular policy.

SF is the bellwether: prop C and friends chased many big companies away and the tax base was beginning to erode but locals (who greatly desire the exodus of the "Bridge and Tunnel" folks continues to find new villains).

It's such a pity the US immigration system is as completely broken as it is. I'd _eagerly_ move there if I could, but without a randomly-assigned sponsorship I can't. I've checked other countries - in Canada or Australia I pass with flying colours, and could move there inside a few months with full right-to-work and pathway to citizenship. But not the US.

I'm sympathetic to this concern and I sometimes battle it myself - but I do object to the romanticism of "free love". In my opinion - and in the opinion of some brilliant, loving people I know who lived it first-hand - free love was a failed experiment of idealism. It was a great experiment that we are better for having undertaken, but unmistakably and fundamentally incompatible with human psychology when applied on any kind of appreciable scale. Luckily, prudery is far from the only alternative.
The Oxide and Friends podcast had an episode on virtualizing time, specifically for the purpose of live-migrating a container from rack to rack without the VM being aware, and allowing operators to take the rack offline on their schedule. Otherwise, apparently, you end up having
to leave racks running because you cannot evacuate all of the containers currently running on it. (e.g. perhaps your contracts or SLAs are such that you cannot afford even the few seconds of downtime a shut-down-here-and-spin-up-elsewhere would cause)

I believe the episode name was "Virtualizing Time"

Whether cannabis is a stimulant or sedative is highly idiosyncratic, and I suspect is a function of much more than THC concentration.
