Is it? Historically (think 1200) families would go through boom bust cycles over generations. When the kids are teens and the parents still working they have lots of labor. Fast forward 10-20 years and all but one kid (almost always a son) has left home, that kid is now a parent supporting a couple babies and a wife, plus the now grandparents are nearing the end of their life and not physically capable of doing much but still eat - now there is one person working to produce food. Remember too that food doesn't store very well. In this environment when you have extra food you lend/give it with no interest expecting to be paid back in 20 years when the situation changes for both of you (now you are the grandparent unable to work while they are the parent with hard working teens at home).

Of course for this to work out you need a relatively static society. Which was the case for several thousand years (in that time almost everyone was disrupted by some war or other disaster and so some family ended up overall a winner, but for most it was the safe bet)

I see it as overspecialisation. When GTA 6 costs 10 years and a billion dollars, it needs to be an unmatched hit. But what if it's just bad on a conceptual level? More money can create more models, textures and 'content' but it can't create fun. For GTA 3, it would have been a setback for a year. For GTA 6, it could be fatal.

This story is gut-wrenching and very heart-breaking. Two take-aways:

1. Commodification of healthcare will always lead to outcomes which prioritize the bottomline over actual patient care. Externalizing suffering and other costs on the cohort is capitalism 101.

As someone who just got the OLED Steam Deck the spark is not gone!! Valve is still the same company, they’re just succeeding in very different ways.

I think this is the benefit of not being a public company. They’ve pivoted over and over and over. They’re still in the same space (video games) and the breadth of the areas they’re in are immense!
This «merge with the ai» thing never makes any sense. What possible improvement would a hunan provide a super intelligent AI in some merge operation?

what prevents similar crumple zones with steel? You don't think we can apply the lessons learned from the last 50 years to a steel body vehicle today?

It's not like the strength needs to be consistent everywhere. For example, you might want stronger frame around the battery while still having a crumple zone. Again, I don't see the metal choice as a determinate factor here, you can always make a steel part that underperforms an aluminum one, vice versa too

As a person who almost can't play any 3D first-perspective (shooter, action) games due to serious motion sickness, I'd say a slower cursor doesn't really make much difference. If you're not used to it (due to being different from your desktop environment), it probably would make it worse.

To me, the biggest factors to (worse) sickness are

1. Narrow FOV: usually the bigger the FOV, the better. But when it starts to have too much of "fisheye" effect, it can be detrimental.

2. How "fluent" your character moves -- if you have to stop/decelerate constantly (for any reason: interact with objects, clash with walls, sharp turns), it induces sickness very quickly.

Third perspective games are typically much better, but if it's in a confined space (like in a room) for extended time, it's as bad as FPS.

The best FPS I've played in term of having close to no motion sickness is Overwatch. Apex Legends is pretty good in this regard too.

Any Valve title is a vomit festa.
Why docker and nodejs needed while project is written in C?
Eh? The truck bed is 2m long, what mountain bike is 2m long?
I disagree.

One scenario has a human being taking advantage of another human being. One person harming another person covertly. This doesn't give the victim the opportunity to fully understand their situation. This is pure manipulation.

On the other hand, befriending a machine is a choice. You are presented with the facts up front. That this is a machine that imitates companionship. You are not being manipulated or tricked. You are engaging in a form of entertainment, and you can clearly see what you are talking to.

I would rather have a real relationship with a fake thing than a fake relationship with a real person.
It means the problem is not just 'things are hard at scale', like the parent comment suggested.

The level of excuse-making for Musk's bullshit gets really tiresome in these threads. Production car looks like a Pontiac Aztek rendered on a Commodore 64? New things are hard at scale! Prototype breaks when you hit it at launch event? New things are hard, this is fixed in the new model!

There's nothing cynical or malicious in being tired of a pathological level of lies and hype from a person who has real achievements to boast about, if he could just control the need to promise the sun and stars to everyone in Q2 of next year.

Alluded to in the article, but Starship is made from the same quality of steel, so perhaps it’s a price break on a higher order quantity?
Giving to the starving person could be lending if you expect that person to eventually pay you back. Maybe it didn't rain on the other side of town so you give food to the families farming there so that they live - expecting that eventually it won't rain on your side of town and they will give you food so you can live.
He accounted for life expectancy as a positive but didn't account for excess natality as a negative, by all means (except some emotional ones) 8 billion is a ridiculous amount of humans and direct cause of speeding up climate change among other damages to our own quality of life.
There is a considerable divergence of opinion on that subject. In my view, C++ isn't remotely suitable as a programming language for someone without a healthy understanding of C. Perhaps a dialect of C++ could be developed that was more of a cousin to Rust, but C++ as we know it is a C like programming language with a very large number of features added and all the ways to fail just like a C program does. There are real world advantages of course, but it is not a language for the faint of heart, not even close.

At the $10 price point? Z-wave stuff always seems to cost more, and my understanding is that is largely due to the requirements for compatibility and testing per Z-wave alliance. I'd be shocked if this same thing could even be made at reasonable margins for $10.

The flip side to this, is Zigbee stuff always has a lot of little quirks, problems, or bugs. There's literally an entire module/database for ZHA (Zigbee Home Assistant addon) called ZHA Quirks that's designed to work around all the little issues with various devices.
Maybe thats what makes it AGI. Currently there is no AGI. There are many, many, many things people can do that AI cant. At an abstract level it makes sense that adding a little human to AI could be what makes AGI.

> I think a better counterexample, rather than "hard drugs," is pornography. It's not that it's necessarily bad, or even that it is in a majority of cases, but people can definitely have negative relationships with it that are destructive and even anti-social.

Fair point. I still think is is a notch above pornography, though: Porn will always lack the physical element (which I posit is far more important in a sexual relationship than in an emotional one) and will usually be less personalized. A chatbot, on the other hand, can fill in your emotional needs much better and much more personalized to you.

> My optimism comes from reading about it and seeing the companies seem to take this all very seriously.

My pessimism comes from the fact that I see a lot of lonely people and even whole movements of desperate ones (like incels). I fear that a lot of people will use this as a quick patch for the issue instead of going the hard way and work on their mental health. We can't bring back stillborn children or passed away loved ones, obviously, but I'm sure we can fix most people to the point where they can have friends and a fulfilling relationship.

I agree with you that it's not all bad and it's definitely not black and white, but I'm skeptical that the good outweighs the bad, at least for now.
The intent was to transfer the load to an exterior, rigid structure. Rust is also a significant concern is some climates for non-stainless steel.

Strange... Presumably production deployments of FDB are on Linux. Last time I heard, Swift support on Linux is second-class. Is the plan to deploy on Mac OS instead of Linux? Or is Swift support on Linux sufficient for FDB needs?

I must say I am not a fan of this decision. FDB looked like a promising solution but not if it is tied to a niche language.
It is crazy sometimes how you try to program something the best you ever could with classical C++, and then someone comes along and makes a version using SIMD that is over 10x faster (but less portable code).

It appears these are all battery powered and wireless. Probably also means they're quite easy to jam with a low powered transmitter. Still are likely useful to protect against the impulsive crimes of opportunity. It's also a bit weird that washing machines don't come with water leak sensors but I guess manufacturers don't want to highlight the possibility of their products causing water damage.
I'm saying this assuming the absolute best faith of the medical people.

Hospital doctors are forced, day in and day out, to be exposed to people who need transplants. The entire medical system is forced to be exposed to totally, completely innocent people who, through cruel fate alone, need to wait for a suitable someone to die. In a sense, these innocent people's lives are halted in a way that can be argued to be a death themselves. Doctors, who are human beings with empathy (so much so they are at risk of killing themselves from all the suffering they're exposed to) are day in and day out forced to face this insane fateful cruelty.

These doctors see the miracles an organ transplant can do. Give back a single mother her ability to raise her children. Allow the opportunity for a father to see the birth of his child. Enable a child to envision a future for themselves for the first time in their life.

So when someone else is dead, or basically dead, occurs, each doctor knows that this one death can relieve the "deaths" of dozens of other needy and completely innocent people. Especially when the doctor is confident that, effectively, the soul has already left the body and the organ that actually contains our consciousness has died. The family members can be excused as ignorant folks who, unlike doctors, don't get to witness firsthand how much suffering can be relieved by harvesting an already-basically-dead person.

In a situation like that, a doctor can very easily make what they believe to be the moral choice in attempting to persuade a family towards organ harvesting even though they may personally be unrelated to anyone who needs an organ.
I absolutely love this paper.

Its counterpart is Kording and Mensh, “Ten Simple Rules for Structuring Papers.” doi.org/10.1101/088278

And the strategies outlined in both ought to be taught much more rigorously, and at an earlier stage in an education, than they currently are.
Really? If there's no price at which it's ok and it's always equally unreasonable, then why bring price into it at all?

Just to be clear: I think what Meta is doing should be found non-compliant with the GDPR due to consent-or-pay not counting as freely given consent, but it is less of a slam dunk than it should be due to what the newspapers have been allowed to do.

But if that argument fails, complaining about the cost being too high is not going to work as a backup strategy.
Why would this be specific to the SDK? If the code is Rust without any native libraries being linked, WASM should work out of the box.

> you don't "own" any of the apps you've bought

I'm sure that you know what I mean here. I "own" it meaning that I am in possession of an installable that isn't dependent on an outside service, and that can't be modified or removed without my permission.

> due to Apple making changes to their OS, that app you've bought will require updates

I don't use Apple devices, and if Apple platforms are that unstable, then that's a good reason not to!

> I want to update it and keep it working for you

So you charge for the update. You don't charge an ongoing monthly fee.

This stuff isn't actually that complicated. The industry worked it out pretty well a long time ago -- it's just that all of that knowledge has been disregarded in favor of a subscription model that allows a deeper soaking of customers.
Just to add a little detail about working with stainless: contamination. You have to use separate tools between carbon steel and stainless steel, and even dust contamination between carbon steel work areas and stainless steel work areas can cause contamination on the stainless steel, which leads to rust.

I have no idea how they're going to keep the stainless from corroding in states that use salt for the roads in the wintertime. I was a project manager on many jobs fabricating stainless steel pipe, and we had to go to great lengths to prevent contamination, including shrink-wrapping every piece, in addition to using covered loads to prevent contamination from road salts. That's tangential to the manufacturing difficulties, but I have no idea how Tesla will respond to owners' rage over rust on their cybertruck after one winter.
Any ideas on how to go about it?

Solve a problem instead of applying technologies.

Or just enjoy the process of creation for being the process of creation and accept that you made a thing that doesn't have actual utility to other people just for the sake of making the thing that should be made.

I mean you could hang it on the wall, call it art and move on to making something else. Or not. Good luck.
Yes, computers are already so perfect.

Or is it that your emotions and thoughts are where all the value is, and a machine executing its function is no different to a hammer?
ThreadX is just the scheduler / OS functionality. There are tons of other components in the firmware (namely, the parts that actually do things) which are still encumbered by patent and copyright issues, not to mention the DRM modules which are somewhat security-by-obscurity based.

It's one step closer to an open Pi firmware in some ways, but probably not a meaningful step.
There was some talk from Elon at the time about how much it cost to paint cars.
This is my first public project in C. Feedback is welcome!

While working on another project, I was inspired by Rust's `dbg!`[1] macro which simply prints and returns the result of an expression. What started as a little, one line `#define` quickly turned into a decent amount of nested macros to generate functions and a dash of `_Generic` which was actually quite fun to get working.

I'm putting this out there in the hopes that it will be useful.

They currently have job listings for 12 roles in Munich, Germany which suggests that have an office there.

They also have job listings for 6 remote roles in Germany, so even if they had no offices there that suggests they have employees there which would probably open them up to some German law.
That's a good idea, assuming that these datacenters would use a close-loop water cooling, as opposed to evaporation techniques, which waste enormous amount of water. See the previous discussion about datacenters in dry areas: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37732550
That'll be a chicken / egg problem tbh, but I've seen windmill park projects get co-funded by local governments and capacity bought up by the likes of Microsoft for their datacenters ashore.

That is: Local governments should set up infrastructure for datacenters and other energy intensive industry, developers should make plans to build geothermal plants, and big tech companies should help fund the construction of these plants.

That said, the big tech companies have billions just sitting around, they can create their own energy companies and power plants.
If you scratch it, no problem, it's steel all the way down. Most other cars seem to require a paint job in order to protect the car from the elements, which means if you scratch and don't repair you'll get rust. I would assume this will be less of an issue with stainless steel.

It's strong enough that you can hypothetically use the body for all your structural needs, and therefore don't need any sort of chassis. An extension/continuation of what Tesla has been doing with their "structural battery packs".

It won't dent as easily.

It's invaluable to me for pattern recognition. Colors add a layer of contrasting, immediately parse-able information to a block of code that can make it recognizable at a glance, more unique than a pure grapheme skimming heuristic. I don't find it distracting, as when I'm actually reading the code I just tune it out. I don't need it, but it's definitely nice to have in a codebase with larger files.
I can't find an article on it but I swear he mentioned way back before it was officially released that his plan was for it to be used as the mode of transportation when SpaceX sends humans to Mars. Ergo the bulletproof body and windows, and since Teslas already have that bioweapon defense mode, he's probably aiming to make it pressurizable as well.

Updates to the player can come with content. For streaming content, the provider can make streaming contingent on an updated firmware/application package that bans the hdcp keys. For disc based content, new discs can include key revocation.

That said, HDCP downgrading for compatibility is or at least was in the spec, so there's no justification to revoke the keys for the device discussed in the article.

Well, yes, that's how circumstances typically work. I know the rugged individualists are busy launching themselves to space via their own bootstraps, but average person can become trapped in the life they live pretty easily.

Meanwhile societies that actually want to move into the future while minimizing the terrible outcomes will have programs to avoid it, such as social security so we don't have to watch grandma and grandpa die on the side of the road of old age. Or in this case, some people might be able to receive help that is outside of your heterodoxy.
