With the rise of networking and multimedia this was also an incredibly chaotic time and I suspect some of the problems with the big OS rewrites stem from that. Microsoft did a better job getting something useful shipped. I don't know if it ever got documented but I'm curious whether there was any serious push to build on the nanokernel work incrementally rather than do the big rewrite.
That seems to be a bad idea. The new rules state that you need to process the unsubscription within 2 days. Sending an email a few days later sounds like a good way to make it on the naughty list.
> I mean the grad assistant is basically a post-doc position isn't it? Considering the stability and perks from a government job, I think that is not too far from market rate.

At a DOE lab in my second year of PhD I was getting ~$50/hr. When I've interned at other places I've gotten to about $60/hr. That's still below the typical rate of $80-$100/hr for a new grad (we're just talking base salary, no comp or bonuses). Definitely not market rate.

For the $180k, that's a bit tougher. Since this is all cash. I'm not aware of anyone who pays $300k all cash to newly minted PhDs except for Netflix. Otherwise that number is competitive with typical base salaries. But like you say, with equity that number doubles and so isn't competitive that way. There are benefits to a gov job (way more relaxed) but you're turning down a lot of money, that's for sure. And of course, the salaries are only competitive for newly minted PhDS, not for anyone that's been in the field post PhD for 5+ years.
Eight Sleep - my topper leaked and damaged my mattress, I was not happy to say the least. I filled out an online form, got a response in minutes via email and after confirming my details they organized a replacement of both free of charge despite being out of warranty.

IMHO, that sounds like more effort than configuring Emacs to map a CPU temperature rise to a Ctrl keypress.

I'd rather begrudgingly keep taking advantage of Google's spam filter over adopting the added workflow branch that is perceivably likely to trail me for another decade-plus.
No, I think it's fine and honestly I can understand the need to compulsively use AirPods especially among the anxiety prone. Forcing people to endure the noise of the world, which is increasingly inorganic and terrifying, just because you insist on them listening to you in a subservient manner, is very strange and the sort of insistence I would expect only from narcissists. I personally wear my AirPods Pro at all times when in public because it makes it that much easier to tolerate it. I have transparency mode on so I can still listen to you, probably better than without AirPods.

If the person is listening to you and responding just fine, then the AirPods are not a problem. If the person is obviously distracted then you have cause to ask them to take them off. Simple as.
Please review the HN commenting guidelines. I don't disagree with you, but this isn't appropriate for a HN comment.
So I think the argument made in this article doesn't preclude all of that. Production is always converting a resource into a more useful resource, moving it to a more organized and useful state, reversing entropy. Some of those resources are very limited and in significantly more demand than can possibly be made available. That demand is often inelastic; human beings will die if they can't get it.

I'm personally pretty much with you on these points. Minds solve problems, people find a way. I think claims of a worldwide collapse are absurd. But I think crises will happen, as they always have, and it's important to consider blind spots.
I'd try it if there was a free tier.
About ten years ago, I sent a sample of my saliva to 23andMe.

It was only later that I realized the privacy implications of what I'd done, and asked them to forget my data and deleted my account.

Is there anything more I can do to protect myself at this point?
Instagram is still quite popular so the effect it has will be interesting
Possibility remains that adverse conditions are not being masked by psychological devices, rather that these conditions are conducive to heightened spirituality (which may be present in varying degree in all humans).

one big support for this is the fact that many saints came from affluent backgrounds and chose the device of asceticism ("harsh life", "corporal despair", "terminal denial of certain pleasures", "dying to earthly life") to heighten their experience of spiritual communion and worship.
And yet guns kill far, far, far more people than nukes.

Because we live in a society that requires a solid base of slavery to function. It always has. Base level resource extraction and processing (cocoa, cobalt, rubber, sulfur, et al.) is done with slaves in order to have an abundance of consumer items at the other end. It is not work people want to do. It is work people will only do under threat of death. It is a horrifying thought. Or it should be.

I think you are right in that it is worth discussing, but you must come at it from an honest standpoint. You can not pretend like this is some kind of aberration—it is the backbone of our capitalist society. You can not fix a systemic issue with small changes. A quarter of humans on this planet live in abject poverty. We accept this kind of inequality because "everyone is equal" is something we aspire to one day believe—currently we do not.
In what country do you need to register and give up personal identifying information in order to read a newspaper or listen to the radio?

If the idea to centrally register every reader before they were allowed to read news articles had been raised in the 50s or 60s, it would have rightly been regarded as undemocratic. In our age it passes without discussion, and any suggestion it may be problematic is regarded as useless nostalgia.
Reading people, their motives and intentions, is difficult for literal thinkers
What happened to the 1977-1993 run with the 6502? It was the real first era and the longest.

Without it this reads like a “top 100 movies of all time” that doesn’t have a movie title older than 2007 in it.
Well now that you mention it I think it does all come down to 'separating data from logic'. I was working backwards from the premise of: "what if we want a monolithic in-process application to have the same cognitive simplicity as an API-based client-server model?"

If you want to enforce a clean interface between an in-process client and server (i.e. a piece of code calling a library interface), then the best model is to think of it as a message passing system, where once a payload is passed from the client to the server and vice versa, the other side should not be able to witness changes to the payload. An immutable payload in this context is the same as the json that goes over the wire between a client and server.

If you really wanted an in-process application to look like a microservice you could take the added step of forcing a serialization / deserialization step on both client and server. I've seen frameworks that do this. But I think immutability, if it can be enforced, is a practical way of solving this problem and far less complex.

Inheritance is a hazier point I was making, in hindsight, because you could use inheritance for data modeling, which is quite fine in some situations... so I think it's effectively subsumed under the "separating data from logic" argument: which is that if you're passing behavioral inheritance from a "server" to a "client", then it gets harder and harder to predict how that client is going to use it and thus it's harder to reason about the functional boundary between two pieces of code. But it's a hazy point because I think the larger and more important point to make, as you point out, is that you simply shouldn't (in most cases) pass any kind of behavior between client and server--just data.

Another approach to look at (besides taking inspiration from Smalltalk) is the actor model, where it's incredibly clear that any communication between modules in an ecosystem is immutable messages. In fact a side effect of the actor model is that it gets pretty easy to move things from in-process to cross-process because most activity in the system is already performed through message passing, so you can just start channeling messages from Actor A to Actor B through a serialization/networking layer rather than in-process if you want to deploy them separately for reasons of convenience or computational needs.
Geometric algebras = Clifford algebras over R.
For that count specifically, Stability was directly involved with creating and funding the LAION dataset, whereas Midjourney and DeviantArt were not.

The DeviantArt direct claim is because of how DeviantArt has been using Stable Diffusion for their DreamUp system, but the direct claim against Midjourney has been less clear from the plaintiffs about whether they're going against Midjourney using Stable Diffusion in one model (beta/test/testp) or their use of training data (like LAION)
> I think that many publishers might do that IF it were feasible, which it isn't in print. But it is feasible on the web

The feasibility for print and the Web are approximately equivalent.

> [The Web] is distinct from print in a few ways, and editability is one of them

Print doesn't lack editability. Professional editors—people paid to edit things—exist, even. That's what they do: edit—which is something they can do precisely because written material that makes its way to print is editable. I realize at this point you're probably thinking, "Hey, that's not the type of editability I had in mind. You're equivocating. When I said editability, what I was referring to—and what is widely understood, so I'm not sure why we're having trouble here—is [...]"*

The Web's editability is a fiction. It's imagined, not real.**

If you install a document at example.com/resume in 2022, and then change your server to make sure example.com/resume says something different now in 2023, you haven't "edited" anything.*** What you did is make a new thing. It kind of looks like the first, but it's a new thing. And then you put the new thing up, but you're calling them the same thing. You can also do that in print—you can do a print run of a first edition work, make a bunch of corrections to the material and then call the second print run "Memoirs (1st ed)" rather than "2nd". The difference between print and the Web? People just don't do that. That's it.

* I'd like you to think about how you'd actually complete the sentence. Maybe you don't have to think about it—I'm certain that you know exactly what you meant. Then again, even feeling like you know it doesn't mean you actually have words for it (cf. <http://www.paulgraham.com/words.html>).

** at least to the extent that it differs from the kind of editing that we mean when we're talking about written material for print

*** again: at least not to the extent that there is a type of "editing" going on here that is precluded by print
> I certainly don't have a complete catalog of which people in my life were NT and which were ND

Ok you're definitely not autistic then, that's basic stuff! (I kid - I only have assumptions about most people in my life)

Personally, yes, I found a formal diagnosis extremely valuable for two reasons:

1. All of my nagging worries about "not really being autistic" and taking up space reserved for "real" autistic people vanished. This also "allowed" me to talk about being autistic more openly. You may not have the same anxieties at all though - I specifically had a really big setback years ago when an ex said they didn't believe I was autistic.

2. I found it much easier to deal with the individual traits, both because I learned about some I wasn't aware of during diagnosis, and because I now have the ability to identify anything that's upsetting me and ask, "In what way is my autism affecting this situation?" At the very least it's a useful framework or jumping-off point for introspection that might have been difficult otherwise, because it isn't always true that some autistic trait or another is involved.
> In reality Bezos's mommy and daddy gave him $245,573 to stop Amazon from failing in 1995.

Actually, it is not that out of reach that a person who is a professional such as an engineer or a doctor or lawyer to have $250,000 to be able to give to an adult child.

And it is possible for a poor person to encourage their children to study and become a doctor or engineer (see for example the Asian immigrant communities).

Thus a person who comes to the US poor, could have a billionaire grandchild.

And no other country offers this kind of opportunity at scale the way America does which is why so many people from all over the world endeavor to come here.
The gut is the second brain. I've learned this after I've cured my self-diagnosed ADHD via peptides. (I still take Adderall tho)

Anyway, basically what I'm saying is, if the CO2 levels go above 500ppm in my room, I get extreme brain fog.
> I think what I’m getting from this conversation is part of what’s being expressed here is a lack of awareness of social danger

You're confusing "being aware of" and "caring about".

Autistic people are acutely aware of "social danger". It's something we deal with every moment of every day since we're old enough to realize we're different. For most, it's a deeply traumatic experience to deal with as a child. And by most, I mean nearly 100%. Common wisdom is that there are no un-traumatized autistic individuals.

> for the most part, the answer is: you don’t, so act accordingly

This tells me you fundamentally do not understand autism. "Act accordingly" is one of the defenses we have to learn. And we learn it totally alone. What behavior is and is not appropriate is one big stochastic experiment that lasts your entire life. We learn to observe people around us, but that's not enough. It's easy to mimic behavior, but we don't get the context or reasoning behind it until we get it wrong.

Knowing how to act accordingly is the core problem in most autistic people's lives. It's incredibly challenging and very dangerous. We have a lifetime of trauma built up around this problem, which makes it extremely stressful to be in a situation where you don't know what to do.
Custom domains aren't a panacea, I own my last name as an email domain, but my last name is one letter different from a building supply company in my country . I regularly get purchase orders sent to me instead of them, so even in a small country with a custom domain you can't escape misaddressed email
> Many people have small retirement accounts but millions of dollars in ordinary taxable

Certainly not many people, at least not many in the context of retirement population. Any people with access to millions of dollars of assets in retirement are rare.
I think what the GP means is that if you speak in grammatically correct sentences and are intelligible, people are less likely to complain or look down on you. I.e. that's a deliberate choice on the listener. If your pronunciation is so off that your listener can't understand you then that's something that's outside of their control; either they pretend to understand and go "uh-huh", or they have to ask you to repeat yourself.

>My understanding is that everyone's brain is wired to expect a word in a certain way and unless you have encountered other accents, the speaker has to repeat what they have been saying.

Nah. People get used to understand certain sequences of sounds and eventually get used to your particular accent, even if initially they had no idea what you were saying. One time I had to work with a Vietnamese woman (let's call her Anna) who said "transaction" like "trunsun" or something; definitely one syllable too few. After several months I was quite able to understand most of what she said, although occasionally I needed her teammate (Barbara) to translate for us. To restate GP's point, both Anna and Barbara spoke grammatically correct English and had definite East Asian accents, but Barbara pronounced things correctly and Anna didn't, so Barbara was easier to speak with, while when speaking with Anna I often had to ask her to repeat herself.
When someone says that building ramps enables wheelchair users to get into buildings with stairs, would you be the person who argues that isn't actually enabling because they can just pay someone to carry them up the stairs?

That clearly stupid argument exactly parallels what you are saying. Down to using the word "enables".
But you will insert even more vowels if you pronounce it as "My Ess Kyoo El". Same with HHMMV/Humvee.

Even worse though, is that it doesnt even have to be you submitting your data. Several killers have been caught because their family members have submitted DNA and the killers have been tracked down using DNA ancestry. It really sucks, because it only takes one gullible person to really expose your family to data mining.
Sure.

Musk was always very 'optimistic' about Tesla goals and timeline estimates. That's fine (I guess) when you're a small company trying to achieve a major breakthrough. And they did actually deliver and started to mass produce EV cars - absolutely impressive result.

But in the process, Musk also started to promise more and more impossible things, on a bigger and bigger scale - FSD (almost 10 years ?), Robotaxis (!), Tesla's cars as 'appreciating assets', Boring Company, recently Optimus, AI, Tesla Semi, Cybertruck. Infinite demand that he claimed on investors earning call (he knew the real numbers) ?

The scale of optimism varies of course here. Tesla Semi for example ? Announced 6 years ago, officially started deliveries 1 year ago. In reality, those are prototype trucks, with specs and price being kept secret.

Another interesting one is the deal with Hertz - in October 2021, they announced a deal with Tesla, in which they supposedly bought 100k Teslas. Tesla stock skyrocketed (something like +50% in 3 weeks), to hit its all time high share price beginning of November 2021. It turns out (as announced by Hertz last week) that they only bought 35k Tesla's so far.

It's fine to say with huge optimism you're tackling a big problem when you're a 50 persons startup. It's another thing to say that you are in the process of building and close to delivering them as a huge public company, whose valuation is higher than 10 next competitors combined (when said competitors are doing >x10 sales).

And it's an entirely different thing, when the main character of the story, sells almost $40B of stock (!!!) at the peak of the hype he created. To give some perspective, $40B is the entire valuation of Ford, or GM. And he sold with excellent timing too. Remember this Hertz story - October 2021, then shares hit 400$ (all time high) beginning November 2021. Elon Musk starts selling on 8 November 2021.
They have "locations" but there are >200 of them when you just click on the job. I didn't look too closely though
> What we do is not governed by what China may or may not do.

Yes it is... Where the hell would you get the impression we don't change how we govern and invest based on what China does, is doing, or might be doing? Do you really think nations don't adjust their behavior and laws based on other counties real or perceived? I can't imagine you're that ignorant.

Not opposing it guarantees you lose though.
While I strive to hide my German accent, and regularly attempt making my various english accents more specific, I simultaneously hold that there is glory to European English, or, probably more importantly, for example Indian English. The site would feel more progressive if it included those.
Unions are made up of workers so they automatically have skin in the game. If the workers can't work, the union dies.
Workers (and therefore unions) are very much interested in companies being successful. Stable employment is a nice thing for a worker to have.
For any Canadians reading this thread who don't have the ability or want to leave Canada my partner and I did a similar search inside the country.

In general we landed in Mid to North Vancouver island. Specifically the Comox Valley, and we can't recommend it enough.

1. Mild temperatures

2. Green grass in the winter

3. International Airport

4. Family orientated

5. On the ocean

6. 15 minutes to a large lake

7. 15 minutes to world class mountain biking

8. 20 minutes to a ski hill

9. 30 minutes to some wonderful hiking/climbing.

Though, I wouldnt mind a few more restaurants open past 8pm.

Merck was involved from day one. Very early in the database scraping they identified a cancer treatment based on data collected within the first year of operation.

A company that helps drug company was always the plan.. they just needed that googol of human data.

Yes, this is a great tip. I use it constantly for prepping for interviewing candidates or first meetings with potential business partners. Getting somebody’s name right really starts conversations out well.
Possibly. If you find a solution, please forward it to me and I will share it with the nautical community.
I have mixed feelings about that.

Personally, I found the mini HDMI ports themselves a downgrade. One is forever looking for adapters. However, having two displays is nice!

It boils down to whether someone is using the device like a computer.

The Pi 400 is a nice, respectable computer and I use one for development. Two displays makes sense and is high value.

Now you can absolutely use the device.

I have an epaper project in development. I have the epaper setup and attached to a Pi 3. That makes sense and it works well. Code output goes there and I have it all in one place.

I use it in two basic ways:

One is headless, using VNC to access dev tools and code located right on the Pi. I keep various wi-fi setups handy and can copy a new one onto the SD card if needed. Usually, I am powering the Pi with my laptop in that scenario.

The other is via plugged in displays with keyboard and mouse.

I do both of those with Pi 3 and 4 devices.

The Pi-400 needs the display adapter and though I have not lost or broken one yet, it seems to me simply attaching an adapter permanently to the computer would make a lot of sense.

This thread makes me want to 3d print a different case so that I can incorporate the adapters properly and just expose HDMI slots like we see on the earlier devices.

Finally, just a tip:

I will often use my laptop as a display for the Pi with one of those HDMI capture devices. Power the Pi with the laptop and bring up a display to work with.
