I wasn't aware society had agreed that war journalism or photojournalism should be neutered.

Maybe I challenge the premise of the article in the sense that... Yeah. No shit?

Honestly... These days I'm so emotionally exhausted that I just see an article like this as a way to get a good by line. Shut up we know kids are being blown up.

Right now I just want to eat maple syrup greek yogurt and listen to pop music while I browse HN. I just can't with the dead kids 24/7 any more.
Munger was the guy who kept Buffet at least somewhat grounded. It's relevant because it's true.

Or Peter Thiel. Or Larry Ellison. Or Jack Dorsey. Musk is just the most relevant example.

We've taken the mahogany-and-tweed businessmen who realized that at some level they had a responsibility to not be _complete_ assholes to the society and systems that created them, and replaced them with business cult figures.

Would Munger and Buffet make layoffs despite having billions? Sure. But they actually _believed_ in the system and would work to protect it in a way that protected their interests as well as the interests of others. See how BH handled Goldman Sachs vs. how Peter Thiel handled SVB, or how Musk handled the takeover of Twitter.
Woof buddy.
Ask HN: What are the most frustrating parts of your work?
Yep. Otherwise, it's a cube farm. Or, worse, an open office layout.

The irony is that cube farms are not conducive to actually getting work done. In an open office layout, it's basically impossible.

Some government and municipal employees have stricter rules when it comes to strikes. Others like doctors and police cannot strike in a way that creates a danger in society. Dont know if that would apply to judges.

But strikes are against a company or the state when there is a labour dispute, not against individuals or for political reasons. So his hypothetical does not apply.
The two are difficult to distinguish at the moment which is the problem.

"Using black holes as rechargeable batteries and nuclear reactors" (2023)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.10587 :

> Abstract: This paper proposes physical processes to use a Schwarzschild black hole as a rechargeable battery and nuclear reactor. As a rechargeable battery, it can at most transform 25\% of input mass into available electric energy in a controllable and slow way. We study its internal resistance, efficiency of discharging, maximum output power, cycle life and totally available energy. As a nuclear reactor, it realizes an effective nuclear reaction `α particles+black hole→positrions+black hole` and can transform 25\% mass of α-particle into the kinetic energy of positrons. This process amplifies the available kinetic energy of natural decay hundreds of times. Since some tiny sized primordial black holes are suspected to have an appreciable density in dark matters, the result of this paper implies that such black-hole-originated dark matters can be used as reactors to supply energy.

Which is clearly what you’re bringing to the conversation here.
Is it a perfect language? Far from. But it's a language where I've recognized more pros than cons to using it. My primary complaint lately has been with the inflexible unmarshal functions that cause weird behaviors with converting serialized objects into structs. A recent example is if you use cobra-cli, arguably the most common CLI framework, which ships with another dependency, Viper, for managing your app configuration. If you unmarshal a config with a map[string]anything, where the map keys may contain periods, it just cuts off everything at the first period because it uses periods behind the scenes as a delimiter _for some reason._

Basically, take some yaml like:

```

stuff: 1

things.and.stuff: 2

```

If you unmarshal this yaml into a `map[string]int`, the string keys will actually be, "stuff" and "things". Completely dropping the ".and.stuff". Wild. Keep in mind, this is specific to the Viper unmarshaller, the stdlib json or yaml unmarshallers actually handle this fine, I just have other similar complaints about those.

Given this is my main complaint, not performance or general syntax, I do enjoy writing applications in the language though.

What's the language you're using these days that you feel accomplishes the jobs you need it for better than Go? And preferably also has strong concurrency builtins and is typed.

A lot of quants are objectively paid very well but not that well (at least pre layoffs) compared to some people who do comparatively little work in tech.
I think you're correct.

Ungh. I need to watch Firefly and drink.
The article makes the point that I also agree with, most people buy books because someone loved it and told them about it with passion.

And then a small number of "book people" actively seek out books like it is an adventure, and then filter the winners out to friends, family, community, and net...

My understanding was that the whole design was based on a radical exoskeleton concept in order to reduce production cost. But in development that didn’t work out (NVH was a nightmare among other things) and so it’s a conventional structure with the weird design and stainless steel panels on top. It seems to me that they should have completely redesigned the truck when they found they had to stop pursuing the original concept, but they kept the exterior they originally showed. I think it’s great that they tried something different, but I’m worried that they now have a compromised design, inheriting the compromises of the original design, with the cost, weight, and complexity of underpinning it with a traditional unibody.

It will be interesting to see how the cybertruck turns out.

I agree with you in theory. In practice I wonder if the refusal of traditional media to publish these things surrenders too much ground to social media, which has zero restrictions on "weaponizing" these things to an a degree that would have been difficult to conceive of a few years ago. And on top of that, everything can be layered with the seductive narrative "here's what they refuse to show you", which is often just used as a primer to suck people down some rabbit hole of even worse conspiracy and propaganda.

It's very easy to say even when you're poor.

I grew up relatively poor. I spent numerous years of my adult life poor.

It was easy to say regardless of how much money I had.

In fact, I hate the opposite premise: everything that happens to me is out of my control, my choices are out of my control, my mindset is out of my control. I'd rather own 100% of the blame for my circumstances than wallow in victimhood forever. Wallowing gets you nowhere, it won't actually get you out of the situation; taking responsibility in one way or another (either for your present mindset, or for choices you made that got you there), is the required minimum to get out.

This is a choice you get to make. How much willpower do you possess? How much discipline do you possess? What are you willing to do about your circumstances? More money doesn't dictate willpower or discipline, if anything it makes you soft, gelatinous.
Every plan should be on the table to provide more safe, affordable, community-oriented housing than is available today.

You have people in the present that think that. Culture doesn't need the cultivators alive. Prophet's messages are carried on long after they die.
This is true.

It is also true that dispensing this particular advice is self-serving for people in power.

In a revolution, things get worse before they get better if they get better. Revolutions come at huge negative expected value. However, appeasing powerful forces can also have hugely negative expected value. Sometimes the calculus makes sense, and when it does, you should hope that people are appropriately discounting the self-serving advice from the powerful.
The choice of which dead children we must see is political and commercial. AP has many dozens of journalists staffed in Israel, and allegedly only a couple stringers in Syria, where over 300,000 civilians have died in the last 10 years. The children killed in Tigray (tens of thousands) are through the lens of this article less important for us to see than those of Uvalde.
Predators take advantage of this quality to gaslight/scam people, FYI.
Like the article says, it uses SWAR and requires a buffer of at least four bytes, with the trailing bytes zeroed. Your strings were both four bytes which saved you; had you tried with "42" or something, that would've been undefined behavior!

Edit: No, wait, the `len` parameter is there to ensure that trailing bytes don't matter. But note that it must be the length of the number-containing prefix part, not the whole input string!

Did you check the return value? If false (as it is in case of overflow), the result is meaningless.

This reminds me of something a friend said that's stuck with me for ~30 years: 'The bad news about taking responsibility is now it's your fault. The good news about taking responsibility is now you can do something about it.'
I would assume that "up to" means that for all of the workloads that they benchmarked the best result was 30% better compute performance. Not a very useful number as your workload is very unlikely to hit the right set of requirements to see that uplift.
This argument is not at all a new one, and I think dates back to the dawn of modern media, the idea that "if only the public knew the horrors something more would be done". Frankly I'm really skeptical. Humans have known intimately the horrors of far more death and violence throughout the majority of our history, and still do in much of the world. It's only very recently that some areas have happily managed to make it to the point where "the vast majority of us have never seen actual carnage". And looking back through millennia of history, I don't see any particular sign that knowing it made it particularly less likely. On the contrary, mass exposure to any stimulus physiologically and psychologically tends to have an inuring effect. Outrage and shock are (and to maintain a healthy state of mind need to be) transient in nature. If it's just steady state it's not special it becomes the new normal.

As with many things there's probably a spectrum not binary, and there are legitimate debates around to what extent people get disconnected from physical reality basics. I can perfectly well believe getting too abstracted is bad, but at the same time getting too close seems to clearly be not good either, resulting in higher stress or flat out PTSD and then cynicism/nihilism on top if no progress can be made because the situation simply isn't reactive to individual outrage. In general I'd say the biggest hardest aspects of politics and geopolitics are that way precisely because they're incredibly complex with large numbers of powerful competing very entrenched interests and arguments, good arguments on multiple sides even, it's not something where the public being upset for awhile necessarily means it just all gets cleanly resolved.

And even if public outrage and shock does manage to spark some political movement, that absolutely may or may not be a positive thing. Plenty of horrors in history have been committed in response to "DO SOMETHING!!!"

Edit to add: Despite having commented and upvoted, I do agree with others that while in principle there are interesting intellectual and more specifically technological discussions to be had here, this prompt in particular is not a productive one and doesn't look to be producing something good for HN. A lot of the same well worn circles, ignoring complexity, adding a helping of mutual flagrant disrespect and condescension that turns people off, done in at least one case while also actively decrying people being too "politically encamped" without a shred of irony.

I'm not quite sure that's fair. OpenAI is ahead, but Google does pretty well, with things ranging from the fancy ML computational photography algorithms in Android to things like Google Translate. Bard is surprisingly not bad.

Apple is similar.

Facebook has FAIR, which is pretty world-leading, and OPT-175B is not bad. No connection to product, but the core research team does well.

Netflix has no real AI, although they were in a leadership position about 15 years ago.

Amazon kinda stinks. They have a lot of mediocre researchers. Alexa works pretty well, but by most accounts, consists of a bunch of hardcoded algorithms. Just throw people at the problem. The rest of the stuff is unimpressive as well.

I think politics is the wrong label for this. Politics is the forum in which the underlying worldviews express themselves. There are a few, strongly developed worldviews at play here and reducing it to just politics misses the depth of the disconnect.

Well we have precedent on this before it was a private operator, presumably it easier now that they're not even state employees. In the 90s we had a similar situation with Toys R Us and the SEKO union which Posten employees were part of joined the sympathy strike and stopped delivering mail to them.

Edit: Seems like Posten became a company the same year. So during that strike they may not have been state employees. Still a precedent though.

Why? For the most part, people are overweight by choice, not by some unavoidable draw of Coke. Not to mention that they have a ton of zero or low calorie coke options that people could choose.
if you add all those things together, they don't even come close to the increased cost of housing. My middle class parents had one TV and entertainment center growing up and it cost around $2k and that's early 90s money. we have 3 big flat screens now and they don't add up to $2k and that's in today's dollars. We certainly eat out more than they did, but groceries were a lot cheaper back then too. This isn't a "Dave Ramsey" type problem for most people. All the avocado toast and Starbucks you could possibly eat and drink won't add up to being able to afford a $1 million starter home.
Speaking as an American, I can tell you that pictures of dead kids is not going to do anything to further the gun control agenda. Nobody but a madman supports murdering children. In fact, murder is illegal in this country, as is assault and brandishing firearms. These laws don't stop insane people from using weapons to murder people. Just like strict knife laws don't stop stabbing. The problem is society is degrading to a point where people are willing to take lives.

The more I see dead kids from a school shooting, the more I will advocate for armed guards at schools to help dissuade would-be shooters from attempting anything. I would also advocate for the abolition of "Gun-Free Zones" as they only advertise to criminals that nobody is likely to be armed in these areas.

Unfortunately history has shown us time and time again that oppressive leaders disarm their populations before subjecting them to horrific abuses of their power. We aren't falling for it again.

I know nothing about Knight but I will say that traditional finance often has no ability to think about systems particularly well so the local optimum is usually a rickety shack that has a lot of smart people working on it, and some less smart people making sure problems are being seen to be fixed, but the overall architecture can be extremely brittle or non-existent. It's not like (good) tech companies.
You have to remember that Bogle/Munger/Buffet all gained prominence when value investing wasn't a thing and investing of any kind was wildly out of reach for the common man. Today anyone can go online and buy VTI in minutes. Every financial advisor and 401k plan recommends index funds by default, and it is how the vast majority of people and organizations store their wealth. It doesn't need any more cheerleaders or icons. It had simply become synonymous with investing at large.
