Repping team Hyperfiddle here, we are super proud of:

https://github.com/hyperfiddle/electric – a fully reactive Clojure dialect for web development that uses a compiler to infer the frontend/backend boundary. (BTW, Electric v3: Differential Electric is nearly here – Differential Dataflow for UI)

https://github.com/leonoel/missionary – Supervised dataflow programming for Clojure/Script. For full-stack web developers who struggle to build correct and glitch-free applications, Missionary is a reactive programming toolkit based on process supervision, that lets you build massively concurrent, fine-grained reactive systems on both frontend and backend. Unlike promises and go-routines that make it easy to write a broken program, Missionary’s combinators provide the right set of constraints to let you build a fully composable program that is also correct and bug-free.
Dentistry is different. I've seen multiple comments from fresh DDS graduates being able to take out 7 digit loans to acquire/start/buy in to a practice, because it's seen as a low risk license to print money.
their motivations may be selfish, but that doesn't mean that regulation of AI is wrong. I'd prefer there be a few heavily-regulated and/or publicly-owned bodies in the public eye that can use and develop these technologies, rather than literally anyone with a powerful enough computer. yeah it's anti-competitive, but competition isn't always a good thing
I've been with them since the beginning and have had my suggestions included in the UI (e.g. account nicknames) but as far as I can tell they're in some sort of freefall.

Something has gone badly wrong in there and the only answer is to close the accounts and move away asap. That's what I'm almost finished doing for my 4 companies and shortly my personal account.

You start with a controversial statement ("Math is the study of formal systems"), and the rest follows. Not everyone agrees with this viewpoint. I think algebraic formalization provides just one perspective of looking at things, but there are other perspectives, and their interplay (superposition) constitutes the "knowledge". Focusing just on albegraic perspective is a pedagogical mistake IMO.
Some say it's all a kind of hangover from bourbakinism though.

> Half the problem nowadays is that people have diagnosed everyone with everything and parents are willing to ignore obvious behavioral issues because of a diagnosis rather than handling the thing head-on.

Disagree. Diagnosis is the only tool for properly handling behavioral issues. Diagnoses are more common because more people are getting tested.
Hawaii does month by month measurement and the seasons have vastly different CO2 levels due to plant activity. Going back further was just a rough yearly average.

Another cowardly downvote by someone without an argument.
Up until recently, Braintree. In-depth explanations about any technical issues (some--of my own making) I ran into or questions I had.

No, it won't be worth billions, that's kind of the point. It should be possible to do it efficiently so that the operating costs are low and it doesn't need to make billions in order to be sustainable and outcompete the incumbents.

As to why I don't do it, maybe I will -- but I wouldn't object if someone beat me to it. Because it still requires some combination of time and money, the amount of which can be feasible without being zero, and it's quite likely that of all the people in the world, someone who isn't me is in a better position to pull it off before I do.
Side note, I have and will continue to pronounce "Warez" like the Mexican city Juarez. I know it's wrong, but I read the word years before I heard someone pronounce it and it's stuck in my head that way.

No, but looking at the offering from Threads Software, it was probably the most value Threads Software founders were ever going to extract from the company.

It’s like the skit in The Office where the Washington school wanted to buy Ryan’s company purely for the name WUPHF.

Now Threads Software is going to have to deal with mountains of legal expenses which they will only recoup if they win (though they likely would eventually win, to be fair).
He threatened my life. I told the principal that if he couldn't protect me I'd have to kill the bully before he killed me. I think he did survive but at that time I would have accepted any punishment if it meant an end to the abuse.

I wound up being homeschooled for about two and a half years as a result.

"They crack a Chandler-esque joke" - RIP Matthew Perry :(
And, as you will notice, I did not say "I" on this. I said "someone."

The point of the argument is to say that someone who espouses A does not immediately support B, and used a contemporary example.

I could have as easily said, "someone who does not support the bombing and murder of 8,000 Gaza residents by Israel or the withholding of aid does not immediately support the hostage taking of 230 hostages by Hamas." Would that be a less controversial opinion for you?
Threads: a stark contemplation of isolation and desolation, total population collapse… and I hear there’s a movie with the same name.
I mean no offense, but this is sort of, with regard to your principles at least, cutting off one's nose to spite one's face? I get that incremental reform is frustrating, but here you had a chance to enter an org you know needed changes, and you blew it because you refused to take a basic drug test that you openly state you could've passed easily.

Like, it's bullshit that they asked, it is an invasion of privacy, it shouldn't be a reason to forgo employment of a candidate they otherwise liked, but at the same time, it wasn't an issue of like, you wouldn't get hired because of your race or gender, it was an issue of like, you'd have to abstain drugs for a while. And then, once you're part of that organization, you can help push for the exact changes you want to see in it.

It's the same reason I get frustrated with my generation not wanting to run for office: we spend all our time complaining about how awful the government is, but precious few are putting themselves out there as the instruments of that change. I don't know if it'll work out or not but I know damn well it won't if we refuse to even try.
Klonopin (benzo) !== ketamine (dissociative). My conjecture is many would benefit more from that kind of treatment than the former. Benzos lead to physical and mental oblivion just like alcoholism does.

Specifically for Instagram, the number of well-monied native app users probably drowns out the well-monied exclusive-web audience.

Those are but two of thousands of channels publishing educational videos. The vast majority of them are dependent on money from YouTube for their income. Would Khan or MIT be able to host and deliver their videos at a price that would make it worthwhile to ditch YouTube, or would that take away donator money from other functions?
Private VCs using their money to control the economy doesn't really sound much like a "system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs".

Private capitalists controlling the economy is practically the definition of capitalism. And it's bad for society indeed.
I think it makes sense to be at least somewhat skeptical of the proxy data and treat them somewhat adversarially for the purpose of science. They seem to carry a significant amount of interpretive weight right now so they should be probed with equally substantial weight, IMO.
Also note that this isn't Kent's first rodeo. bcache from the same author is an SSD-optimized block caching layer already in production in the Linux kernel. The idea is that bcache allows building of hybrid drives where the kernel has visibility and independent control over both the SSD(s) and the spinning rust drive(s).

My understanding is that at some point during development of bcache, Kent realized "hmm... if I just got rid of cache eviction and cleaned this up a bit, it would make a nice light-weight CoW SSD-optimized filesystem".

My understanding is that there are very few untried ideas in bcachefs, and it's a relatively low-risk project. Having been burned by over-enthusiastic early adoption of btrfs, I'm hoping bcachefs becomes a conservative alternative for distros that don't currently use a CoW filesystem as the default filesystem. (Okay, I did use rsync to weekly mirror to ext4, so maybe "burned" is too strong a word, but I did wedge btrfs a few times by over-filling it.)
Where do you think we're getting the space to do any of this?

AFAIK, we don't have Canada and Russia sized 1000 foot-deep spaces readily available to store carbon.

Technology isn't a problem as far as I'm concerned. Space is.

Would love to be proved wrong and have yet another reason to be optimistic about the future.
I am not at Twitch anymore so can't speak to what the state of the things today are.

WebRTC was deployed and is in use. For twitch.tv you have Guest Star [0]

> assume that the observed excess mortality is because of covid

This depends on what you mean by "because of covid".

If you just mean "the primary cause of death was covid", this is not a valid methodology.

But if you mean "the primary cause of death was something that wouldn't have happened without the covid pandemic and the responses to it that were mandated by governments", then yes, this is probably a valid methodology--but then you can't lay all those deaths at the door of covid itself, you have to also hold governments responsible for their incompetent handling of the pandemic.

(Btw, all cause mortality in countries that did mass vaccinations with mRNA vaccines is still above the pre-pandemic baseline, even though covid deaths in those countries are minimal. So there's another item that would need to be taken into account when looking at the overall all cause mortality numbers.)

You forgot to mention that he worked for BP. And he wasn’t president of Caltech. He is also theoretical physicist who does urban engineering neither of which make him qualified on climate science.

Market based solutions won’t be enough. We are very lucky that clean electricity is cheap. But there some emissions that will never switch because of economics. Airlines are a good example, where fossil fuel will be always cheaper than green alternatives. We will have to force them by raising fossil prices with carbon tax or by banning them. Some would call the former market based but that isn’t what they mean.

A diagnosis doesn't justify the shitty behavior, it's simply a convenient thing that dumbass parents use it as an excuse. They probably would have used something else a few decades ago. (Boys will be boys, etc.)

The problem is the untreatedness, not the diagnosis. Everyone was laughing how Americans have too many psychologists, ha-ha. Yeah, also too many MDs too, and that led too many diagnoses of obesity, right? Ha----ha. (Yes, they are not necessarily both true, but maybe it's time to listen to both types of professionals.)
Of course bcachefs can cache data; that was the main draw of bcache as well.

Quoting an example from https://bcachefs.org/GettingStarted/

bcachefs format /dev/sd[ab]1 \
--foreground_target /dev/sda1 \
--promote_target /dev/sda1 \
--background_target /dev/sdb1
mount -t bcachefs /dev/sda1:/dev/sdb1 /mnt

This will configure the filesystem so that writes will be buffered to /dev/sda1 before being written back to /dev/sdb1 in the background, and that hot data will be promoted to /dev/sda1 for faster access.

bcachefs format --help

--promote_target=(target)

We've spent a lot on nuclear and it's still too expensive for all but the largest countries to afford. We've spent a lot on wind and solar and every country can afford them.
That's a good question, because I'm speaking now as a regular citizen,
civilian, and discounting any "professional" contact I have with
government. A lot of it is feel, and also by comparison to how _bad_
it once was, and the kind of thing I've experienced in mainland
Europe.

In Britain the cs are basically providing long-term continuity
regardless of how chaotic and volatile party politics becomes. What we
see is that most of the machinery of state keeps working, despite the
circus in the Commons. Despite Covid. Despite Brexit. So, without
subscribing to an anarchic take, we somehow concede that somebody,
somewhere, must be doing some work :)

Most people's contact is through online, if you can fire up even the
most basic browser almost every interaction is clear, fast and smooth.

When you start dealing at a higher level (business and contracting)
then you see behind the Wizard of Oz's curtain a bit. Things go more
smoothly if you have the right documents and history. Isn't that the
same in every country though?

So, it serves regular citizens very well, but less considerately as
your needs are more complex. Effective maybe, but I didn't say "fair"
:) Certainly there must be many people find it harder, and I'm
probably showing my privilege.
Not to mention eventually unions fall to public pressure and "movements", there was a union thread a few weeks ago where I posted this article that stuck with me:

> Minneapolis Public Schools defends policy to prioritize retaining educators of color when determining layoffs

> Effective in the spring of 2023, the contract provision states that teachers who are members of "populations underrepresented among licensed teachers in the district" may be exempt from district-wide layoffs outside of seniority order, deviating from the traditional "last-in, first-out" system.

> The stipulation is a part of a recent collective bargaining agreement between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and MPS, which concluded a weekslong teachers' strike in March.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/minneapolis-public-schools-defends...

If you end up on the wrong side of the movement because you aren't one of the "intersectional" people you could be let go. It's just jarring to me as someone who's mother is a public school teacher and is poor but isn't a woman of color. This union doesn't have all its members backs.
A few times it's been brought up to limit their posts, but HN seems insistent on not making any feature updates here to pause their auto-posting for portfolio companies, which drives down trust/quality amongst product people when a portfolio company doesn't have the best track record of hiring/retention.
Is there anything technical in those or is it just games-politics?

Please don't do this. It's much-much-much worse than the other things you mention.
Another way to phrase this from an Autistic PoV to an authority figure:

You are no better than I.

Does a person really have to be "better" than you to act as some sort of authority in a particular context?

How about the gate agent at the airport, who boards and deboards people from the plane?

I don't necessarily love listening to that person, but I accept that we probably need somebody doing that job so that we can hopefully get the plane boarded and deboarded in some sort of nonchaotic way.

The thought of whether or not this person is "better" than me seems rather bizarre. They probably know how to board a plane better than me, and even if they don't, it's generally still going to be better than 200 arriving and departing passengers devolving into a free-for-all because they have 200 competing opinions of how things should work.

Generally, most sorts of "authority" I experience on a daily basis fall into this sort of mental bin for me.

Obviously that's a rather trivial example.

What's the logical endpoint of "nobody is better than me" or "nobody is better than anybody?" Just like, no rules whatsoever for anybody, unless you explicitly opt-in to some specific rule or authority figure you happen to like?

And how does this even relate to autism and/or one's (lack of) empathy?
Apologize in advance if this is a silly question but…

Is it fair to assume the earth is a closed loop self healing system?

That is even if we dump a lot of bad stuff into the atmosphere, the planet will eventually “equalize” to “normal” levels.

I would rather we did not of course. I’m just curious about the planetary atmospheric system.
For those who don’t recognize the abbreviation: ADL is argument-dependent lookup. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl:

“Argument-dependent lookup, also known as ADL, or Koenig lookup, is the set of rules for looking up the unqualified function names in function-call expressions, including implicit function calls to overloaded operators. These function names are looked up in the namespaces of their arguments in addition to the scopes and namespaces considered by the usual unqualified name lookup.

Argument-dependent lookup makes it possible to use operators defined in a different namespace.”
I guess to me it sounds like it's at best orthogonal to the idea of dragging out life; sometimes it drags out longer than it might otherwise have to, sometimes it ends much earlier than it would otherwise have to. I think my confusion was over mentioning "opt out of medical treatments" right after "we don't have to drag out life" in a way that sounded to me like it was calling them equivalent, and from my perspective, sometimes forgoing medical treatments can itself drag life out longer than someone might want.

Ultimately it sounds like we mostly agree that people can make personal decisions for themselves about their medical care; I just found the way you described it above fairly confusing.

(edit: I apparently missed that the response was from a different person than I originally responded to)
Delivering the SO2 directly to the stratosphere needs some new tech to be developed.

Assuming that's done, the environmental side effects should be negligible, as I understand it. The stratosphere is pretty isolated from the atmosphere we live in, and the SO2 breaks down there over 1-2 years.
The correct pronunciation always is, always has been, and always will be: war'ehz.
> My experience of people on the spectrum is they often just want a good clear reason to follow rules that seem like nonsense like bowing to authority

I think that's usually correct. However, I would point out that does not constitute respecting the authority. The extra reason is needed because the authority is not respected unless judged to have earned that authority. Which is a very different attitude to the one I typically see from neurotypical people where it is often seen as a moral duty to respect an authority figure just because they have been given a position of authority by society.

You seem to be confusing social media chatter, not even necessarily from official union accounts or union spokespeople, with actual union activity and messaging.

> In a world where there's only one or two software unions, those structures would be inescapable.

The concept of unions in the U.S. tech industry is completely nascent and up in the air at this moment. If anything, the proliferation of "Google union", "NYT union", a Kickstarter United etc. seem to indicate that it is unlikely there will be only one or two software unions.

The idea that if (and it seems to be, as always, a very low-probability if) software unions do catch on, they will necessarily be identical to industrial unions of the past, seems fallacious to me. You would expect an industry that's all about innovation and experimentation to approach the problem of labor relations in a ways that's different from failed models of the past.
You linked a paper covering small businesses surveyed from 1983-1999 as a valid data point to explain the impact on of organized labor on the modern technology startup in 2023. I don’t think a lack of linked data is the issue in finding shared understanding on this topic.
