So people compress to the point where the speed vs information loss tradeoff makes instinctive sense to them.

You can dramatically increase your computing power if you're not constantly deriving everything from the fundamental physics and instead rely on some stereotypes.

This ranges from "objects that look like that are chairs" to "I can sit on chairs" to "Americans can/can't do X"

Show HN: Get Recipes using ingredients you have on hand

That was just a cheeky response they gave me after I reached out on Sunday (8 days after my post).

> Document their timeline, versus the timeline you made and continue to make your updates.

They first posted theirs 4 days after my Show HN which went viral on r/webdev. I assumed they had just come to it on their own and I didn't realize they had seen & commented on my work until Sunday (8 days after the Show HN).

Muting the ads was in the original. But in terms of another feature another member of the community contributed a PR that adds support for Hulu.

> The primary transmission vector by far is nose and mouth and masks are very well established to substantially reduce infection rates.

Which doesn't at all explain all of the studies that found little to no effect to pervasive masking. If the effect is as strong as you're suggesting, then even partial masking would show an effect, even at population levels. This issue is simply not as settled as you're portraying.

> It’s that you feel that people recommending masking have placed a value judgement on people who don’t and I totally get that. But notice I did nothing of the kind.

This thread started on this premise, and I replied along those lines, and then you replied to me. I've made no assumptions about you other than you're clearly pro-mask and convinced by the evidence, and the only position I've staked is that the evidence is plausible but not as clear as you and others have been portraying.
It’s a felony in fact.

worker owned companies don't have the same legal structures as capital owned companies, at least in the US.

This is false. In the U.S., worker-owned coops are just corporations. Or partnerships. Or LLPs. or LLCs. Or a variety of other business entity types. (The point is, in the U.S., the ownership structure does not necessarily determine the legal entity type.)

For example: every law firm in the U.S. is employee-owned, by law. Most accounting firms are employee-owned, also by law.

For specific examples of employee-owned businesses that aren't law firms or accounting firms: Publix Super Markets, WinCo, Brookshire, WL Gore, Gensler, HAC.
This may be a bit un-orthodox, but I think there is some sense in Trinity if you interpret it properly:

"Father" is the concrete DNA that creates each of us. "Son" is each individual that manifests that DNA. "Holy Ghost" is the whole INFORMATION in the DNA-population which gives rise to different concrete DNA strands.

They are all manifestations of the same thing.

I share your cringe. While I don't use a drip coffee maker anymore, some of the burned flavor can be mitigated by placing 3 coins/pennies on the hot plate to limit contact between it and the carafe. It's worth the $0.03 investment.
LLMs are great at historical data. They however still suck at being kept up to date. I would expect that someone (if not already has) will find a cost efficient way to continuously index new data, but it would be interesting to see how it stacks up with the computing power needed for modern search index pipelines.
If it's well known and great value, it's got to be boring. For the most part, they're just completely unknown though - most people could name maybe 5 public companies, nevermind 100.
Yes. So I'm saying that concentrating on exclusives for comparison might not be a good idea. A game that's available on both PSX and N64 might be better on the former or on the latter. You'd have to look at the specific game.

The Obama Administration used 702 to spy on domestic political opponents, for them now to say it’s a “red line”, “must pass”, etc. is just another example of useless politicians kicking the can down the road on a law that everyone already knew was sketchy as fuck from day 1. But what goes around comes around.
Separation of compute and storage, and storage having tables being sharded is now in many modern databases (cockroachdb, clickhouse and singlestore come to mind).

This being part of native aws fully postgres compatible is exciting though.

I wish AWS brings columnstore or custom storage engine features.

But I can see why AWS wouldn’t want to bring columnstore tables - it would directly compete with redshift.
I think it is a great startup to provide a repository that pulls from public records as well as any private details you provide and centralizes this information.

For example, your HVAC, water heater, central circuitboard, and central air system can have maintenance schedules and technical info, but that can be hard to know, because all you usually have is a model number.

Likewise with the coming home solar revolution and home storage systems, there will be other major systems that will be long lasting and major cornerstones of your house.

Also, your utlities can provide info. All of it can be centralized into a dashboard.

What I want to avoid though is the geewhiz smarthome. Sure it can integrate with that eventually, but I think people would like better info about a basic dumb home.

Maybe provide a service where someone comes (or they send you a kit) to scan the house with those things that can see through drywall, scan for heat maps/leaks, or just scan the shape of each room and form a map of the house.
Of course this provides opportunities for upsales and the like.
I don't see any explanation of why in your opinion it is stupid, I would be interested to know one architect view on that.

Ah, thank you, I was assuming that C++ inherited this from C.
4060 is one of the better-value options in the stack, actually. The RX 7600 is still on 6nm and is no faster, much less efficient, and skips many of the microarchitectural improvements to rdna3 to try and keep cost down.

$250-270 is fine for this type of product even today.

Similarly, the 4070 is also fairly attractively priced even compared to 6800XT/6950XT or 7800XT. More efficient, better feature set, same performance tier, similar perf/$. But people still get upset about intangibles like memory bus or die size (despite this already being measured in the performance!), or just don’t want to admit that wafer costs and R&D costs are rising in the post-Moores law era. Operating margins were actually down relative to the last few gens (until AI hit), and were broadly similar to 2012 levels. This is just what it costs now, and smaller die take the worst of the cost increases because memory controllers and pcie don’t shrink anywhere near as much as logic (the gpu cores). There is a “minimum cost floor” that has been rising substantially due to this.
that's really cool idea, but for such r&d local hardware/vm seems to be more ergonomic for attaching debugger and if you have to create such abstractions anyways, I'm not sure if dev board with second CPU or FPGA for hw emulation wouldn't be better way to handle it, as this would allow you to reuse same boats between generations
Very few aids were allowed to enter Gaza until they negotiated for it as part of the truce deal.

It is absurd that we are blaming Hamas for not digging tunnels to accomodate 2 million people instead of blaming those who flattened dozens of residential blocks, and bombed schools and hospitals.

> The machine demands efficiency no matter how many lives it consumes.

Aside from typical drivel, what evidence do you have of lowered quality of life compared to other modes of economic structure? Of all the economic systems in the world, capitalist societies have had life expectancy (from birth, age 10, age 20, etc.) trend upwards. Famously, the Soviet Union dropped life expectancy in a time of peace, as did East Germany.

The US of A is known for its individualism in stark contrast to many other societies, so you're going to have to prove a lot with this statement:

To be fair, smart homes absolutely suck. Especially about four or five years removed, or, in this case, an owner change.

This is like writing code vs figuring out someone else's code. Those are totally different things, and code is a bunch of readily accessible text files. Smart homes? Some device in the attic, some device in the basement, some wiring that goes who knows where, where does all this info go? What was the model of this shit? Oh it has NOTHING on the front because serial numbers are gauche.
The article doesn't state that 36 children <=12 years of age were killed on Oct 7. And the picture shows a bunch of teenagers among the 36. So it doesn't disprove the Haaretz numbers.
It probably shouldn’t go without stating that many separated women couldn’t establish credit on their own or open bank accounts. Banks weren’t required to lend to women until the 70s. My grandmother had this issue after she divorced.
I've seen streaming services spoil an episode with just the thumbnail. I can't remember what show's twist was ruined for me, but I'm pretty sure it was Netflix.

Netflix also has a really annoying habit of re-ordering seasons. For some bizarre reason shows like bake off are listed with the most recently added series first. For some shows that might not be a huge problem but in the first episode of one series they actually recap the winners of all previous series, spoiling several years of programing for unwary netflix viewers.

Titles don't usually spoil too much. At least the writers expect you to see them.
Sometimes we joke with my old roommate (we live by ourselves, on different sides of the country) how both of us would absolutely move into a 4-bed apartment and be roommates again. We had a very good thing going on for 6 years, but I guess, gotta do the grown up stuff and live alone. It's not serious at all, since we both enjoy our solo-life, but also...
It’s darkly hilarious in all the ways people use the word ironic incorrectly for.
> You've (collectively) already fallen for it by allowing the government to develop a standing army (and not just any standing army, but possibly the most capable in the world of crushing any dissent even if it happens halfway across the globe).

The military is a non-factor in this, for a lot of reasons. Here are a few:

- What percentage of our armed forces will take their oath to the constitution (not the government) seriously, and will desert/change sides when asked to murder their own people? I expect a lot, but even if zero of them bailed, that's the least of the issues with trying to fight your own citizens...

- What good is all of that military hardware against yourself? Tanks, jets, drones, missiles... sure, you can turn major cities to glass but then what the hell do you even rule over? The US military is great at crushing dissent across the globe because the collateral damage has been deemed acceptable (by us, because we're not THERE). If you start doing any of that shit here, public sentiment will turn on you fast and you'll make millions of domestic enemies instantly.

- The US has 400 million people (ish) and just as many guns (again, ish). The US military is like 2 million, including reserves. Say 90% of people refuse to fight, well that still makes it 40 million vs 2 million. Those odds SUCK. And that's without anyone refusing orders and bailing to the other side (bring some of the hardware with ya!).

- This wouldn't be a traditional war, it would look like all the wars (ahem, military actions) that the US lost and continues to lose. Vietnam. Afghanistan. Our military keeps taking an L to dudes with 40 year old surplus rifles and busted Toyota trucks. Because that style of warfare is asymmetric and HARD to do without creating new enemies at every turn.

There is no version of a civil war that ends well for an established US government trying to subjugate its people BECAUSE of the 2nd amendment. Either rule over piles of glowing, radioactive rubble, or face the reality that it's open season on anything in a uniform and you're outnumbered 200:1 BUT you don't even know who you're fighting until you're already getting shot at. That's the intent of the 2nd, the US military doesn't actually pose a threat to its people because it simply can't win.

That being said... the US government knows all of this, and is just boiling the frog instead. Small oversteps over a long period of time add up to some real nonsense, and I'm not sure your average American has the balls to stand up, say "enough is enough", and push back. Old us threw the damn tea into the ocean (in front of the bastards!), current us will go on an angry rant on X while ordering Doordash. There will be more governmental overreach, there will be more boiling the frog, and who knows how it'll end. But the US military isn't remotely a factor.

Laundry rooms here in Japan (or rather, bathrooms that have a space for a laundry machine, usually next to the sink) are built exactly that way: the drain is in the floor, under the machine. It's honestly bizarre that this is not normal in the US.

You keep implying it is impossible to build a crumple zone with a steel body, I just don't buy into the impossibility. Either way, despite orders and production, the vehicle will only be allowed on the roads of it meets safety standards. So either they will make it work or have to change things.

Wasn't as nice as what I hear from Epic, but Unity layoff did have severance. 2 weeks of pay per year of tenure. Probably below average for tech, above average for games.

LOL! It is indeed a masala of everything. ;-)

Once, the Father-in-law had to be told to stop his speech mid-way the 30-min mark at a family gathering. Yes, the family often had to organize big meetups and the elders had to give speeches. This is a family spread across countries, embracing multiple religions, languages, and beliefs - so speech-lot-happens-a-lot.
One of those things that adds a ton of value for the right person, but for the wrong person is equally negative value (it takes up 64 square feet of yard space!). While most people won't really care. And so while it can add a lot of value to the right person, overall it is zero value. Even to the right person it won't be as much value as you would expect - unless they are putting a more than normal down on the house the bank will then value that at zero and thus not give them a loan for what that feature is worth.

Pools are the same thing - should be valuable to the right buyer, but in practice worth zero. Even the most valuable remodels - kitchens - often are worth less than not doing it at all because while it adds a lot of value to the house it doesn't add as much as they cost.
"The Department of Correction :currently charges 12 cents per minute, and most county sheriffs charge 14 cents per minute — forcing cash-strapped prisoners, or their families, to spend $2.40 and $2.80 for a 20-minute call in addition to extra fees for putting money into an account."

Yeah, that's completely unethical and I'm very glad to see it changed. Hopefully other states will follow suit.
There is no reliable evidence that value investing still outperforms the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Everyone knows the trick now so the trick no longer works.
> is less important if not downright negative

"Less important" maybe but not "negative".

You have to have a decent C base (not necessarily expert level with knowledge of dark corners/tricky idioms/etc.) before you start with C++. One example is being comfortable with raw pointers. I often see "Modern C++" proponents say you should never use (and by inference learn) raw pointers which is absolutely counter-productive. It is also easier to learn C++ as a "better C" in the beginning else it becomes overwhelming. I believe this is the main reason most beginning C++ programmers find the language "scary/difficult/huge/overwhelming/confusing". They are trying to learn everything at the same time which is an impossibility with a language as baroque as C++.
I connected with this, I've had many of the same thoughts lately. It's a thoughtful essay and I have no idea why it's been flagged?

> When fewer than 5,000 programmers existed, they built Lisp (1960) and APL (1966) and sketchpad (1963). With over 5 million programmers today, the best we can do is Rust and React.

It feels like this has worsened even just in the last 15 years. When I started in the industry (2008ish) it felt like there was a lot of experimentation and new ideas compared to today. Memes like "language wars" and "javascript framework of the week" come from the recent past when there was not the same monoculture of like 3 big JS frameworks, 5 big languages, etc
It's just odd from the perspective of a non American, because in much of the rest of the world houses are usually kept in families multi generationally. So your dream of passing on the oven would have worked most other places. It's just your desires are incompatible with the American treatment of houses as commodities to be frequently traded in bidding auctions.
> Housing Costs Are So High

They left out the "in the trendy, inner city areas we want to live in" part.

Because whilst housing prices are rising in cities we are also seeing major declines in populations for smaller towns.

And whilst our parents were willing to sacrifice and embrace these towns which in turn became gentrified it doesn't seem current generations feel the same way.
Sure, but blindly following something without question, isn't compression, even though both happen to involve reduction.
You’re rubbing elbows with the people actually doing things in some of these news stories.

Credibility matters…bro…
Like most of the generative AI space, it'll eliminate something like the bottom half of modelers, and turn them into lower paid prompt wizards. The top half will become combo modelers / prompt wizards, using both skillsets as needed.

Prompt wizard hands work off to the finisher/detailer.

It'll boost productivity and lead to higher quality finished content. And you'll be able to spot when a production - whether video game or movie - lacks a finisher (relying just on generation by prompt). The objects won't have that higher tier level of realism or originality.
Why not rent it out and pay for your studio that way.
Yeah the folks I know in the hospitality industry don’t like serving people from Asia and Europe for this reason. Right or wrong they view it as not worth the time and effort as the tipping rates are often considerably lower than Americans.

Likewise I’ve noticed when I travel internationally Americans get a great deal of service and attention because unlike the local population because it’s likely they will tip.
Yeah that's fair. I doubt it, but I wonder if Google would take it down, provided it actually is violating the license. I suspect, as others point out, you have little actual recourse without at least 1 lawyer.

Ah well. It's a compliment in a way ;) Anyway I hope this doesn't discourage you from writing more free software in the future
I find it refreshing when someone steps downward for perspective (if perhaps also necessity), having done so myself in the past.
Well, think of it this way -- individual 1U servers can easily consume 1000W, or 1kW. Put about forty of those in a single rack, and that's 40kW. Divide 80MW for the datacenter by 40kW per rack and that's not very many racks to comprise the entire datacenter, right?
I'm c-suite and the most important function of layoffs is to preserve the business as an ongoing concern, preserving what jobs I can. If the business fails, everyone loses their job, which is terrible!

Now, if the reason for layoffs is due directly to poor decisions by someone who should not have reasonably made that decision given the variables in front of them, that person should probably be terminated. But layoffs can occur for all manner of reasons. If you are in the business of making feather hats, and suddenly feather hats go out of style because of shifts in market demand, how can you fire the business leader? Not everything is in the control of management. Management comes in every day, sees the situation before them, and makes the best decisions they can to grow the business.
And who created the odd mix? The movie theater company.

So instead of losing all of their staff, they should simply pay to retain them and post a "no tipping" policy upon entry.

It really is easy, but too people on HN will contort themselves into knots to avoid having any company have any accountability at all in any decision making.
