I have seen the same problem in Astronomy. The number of times Earth rotates on its axis (sidereal days) in a year is exactly one more than the mean solar days - 366.2422... and 365.2422... respectively. (I think this is mentioned in the video). An analysis of this difference leads unambiguously to the direction in which the Earth revolves around the Sun.

The basis of the SAT question is the same abstract idea. However, the same problem becomes counterintuitive and easy to get wrong. I guess the way and direction in which the problem is stated leads to people interpreting it differently. It tells you how important the perspective is to solving a puzzle.

The importance of perspectives is similarly seen in the Monty Hall problem (the one with 3 doors, a car and two goats). While the problem trips up a lot of people, the results change if you change the problem to 100 doors with 99 goats and a car.

By better, I mean the point at which having artistic ability is no longer a viable money maker. It already hardly is, but I know a few artists who get by working in corporate graphics departments doing all manner of graphic design.

There will come a day when someone realizes they don't need a team of artists, they just need one. And that one doesn't need to be that good (read: paid well) either.

Human art isn't going to disappear. Definitely not. But the value of it is on the cusp of falling dramatically. Banksy will stay popular and still command millions. However that kid who you graduated with that is "an incredible artist" probably just went from a 75% chance of a decent artistic career to a 3% chance.

Even if it was working poorly, the CS2 is still a lot of computer. The question is whether it was price-competitive with Nvidia at the time for the workloads it was acquired for.

Cerebras offers them in a batch-processing cloud-ish model, so their prices should reflect utility to some degree.
The braking as an out because a bike can brake faster than the car always seemed odd to me because whatever car is behind you will also not be able to brake as fast.
Yeah those corporate kindlings deeming themselves "senior developers" or whatnot have those ideas all the time. In this case the schizophrenia is that on one hand Microsoft is using unmodified curl in Windows (used by "billions"), and it's okay. But on the other hand for their game blahblah SDK the "requirements" are higher so they do need to have to maintain separate fork. That's not curable I think.

Ask HN: How to Learn Performance Engineering?
I'm an application developer with decent "high-level" performance tuning skills. I can profile my application code and fix bottlenecks but eventually I hit a wall. Once I've addressed the low hanging fruit I know there is probably still 10-100x+ performance improvements available but out of reach to me with my current skills.

I don't know how to find and fix things like: excessive page faults, L1/L2 cache misses, branch mispredicts, context switches etc. What you might call "mechanical sympathy."

For those with these skills, how did you learn? How would you recommend someone develop this skillset today?
> AI art isn't as good as human art. But in a few years it will probably be better.

By what measure of better? Is a work by Thomas Kinkade[1] "better" than one by Leon Glob[2]? Statements like this are utterly bizarre to me.

I agree it is. A fitting return volley would be to insert a note in the documentation along the lines of "derivative implementations of curl may have important differences from the documented implementation. Please refer to the derivative implementation's documentation for any behaviors that don't appear to conform to curl's implementation".
The term you're likely looking for is 'parallel construction'.
Oh yes. I live in one of those places. It was when a new sheriff was elected who wasn't driven by ever-fattening budgets. The first thing he did - stop allowing fine revenue to influence enforcement.

Ticketing dropped. Also the quality of policing in general (and officers specifically) improved dramatically. We had way better cops than under the previous sheriff.
It’s very myopic to not be able to imagine others are not like you, and that they may be better and wanting to help create beginners more easily.

The “I can do it in x” period of time reviews are baffling to me too.

I like to be able to rely on smart folks who have fought scripts like these into being polished, so I can built on top of them, even though I have plenty of experience to build these myself. It makes no sense unless it becomes much more important to me.
>not be that descriptive

It says the same about product naming but this flies in the face of both app store naming conventions which means your app name should be descriptive as possible to benefit from the rudimentary search ranking.

Between safety issues like this, the fact that the buildings aren't regularly inspected, that there's been numerous discoveries of hidden cameras, and the general lack of service, etc I still can't believe anyone would stay in a thing like this.

Communities should pass laws that any residency being used in this manner (for-profit rental) needs to have regular fire inspection, be up to code when it comes to sensors, have certain levels of liability insurance, and sign affidavits stating there are no cameras and punish violations with large monetary fines. If you're going to use your home as a business then it should be treated like one.
> I have £110K coming up

The currency symbol is the tell. At FAANG, people get paid a lot more in the US.

A former manager of mine moved to another (non-FAANG) company and was given a $500K sign on bonus. If it vested annually over 4 years, that's over $100K each vest. Start adding annual RSUs provided, and I can see a single vesting event going over $150K.

And as others have pointed out, Amazon backloads the vesting. 40% in the 3rd year. Another 40% in the 4th year.
I pity the Google Search Engine team that has to try and figure out how to make sense of the web and return useful results when there are millions of individual actors big (like Lenovo) and small actively working against them.

I'll have to try this out. Currently use Amethyst + Hammerspoon scripts for my window tools. Like others in this thread, Amethyst occasionally loses track of all windows and requires a restart (esp after monitor (dis)connection).

Amethyst does a decent job at the layouts I care about.

I primarily use AwesomeWM in linux on my personal computers which has the amazing super key drag/resizing behavior for windows. I use Hammerspoon to replicate this behavior[0][1] and it works quite well.

Eventually I want to replace Amethyst and just do everything in Hammerspoon as it seems quite plausible to do window layouting with it. Will give Yabai a try as well in the meantime.

> and forcing managers and staff to play a weird charade (akin to psychological torture)

Psychological torture is there by design and not as a side effect.

I've been working closely with Amazon sellers for more than a decade, when I first heard how they stressed out employees I thought it fit the image that we had from our end, as sellers, perfectly.

I've come to suspect that Amazon has behavioral scientists and psycologists working on how to build the most threatening way possible to communicate, to stress sellers out as much as they can, to have them broken at their feet.

They will send emails like "Action required: your listings have been deactivated", for simple stuff that require a couple of clicks to fix, and the problem is that it's not like the story of the kid who cried wolf, sellers are terrified when they receive those emails. Sometimes 20-30 families depend on that business and an email like that could mean everyone is out of a job.

That is just an example, this strategy is applied in such a consistent manner through their communications that it puts it beyond doubt that it's done on purpose.

And please, don't be heartless to say, that's what you get when you your company depends on a big corp. I've seen that thrown around here when so many can get their lives turned upside down by Google or Apple too.
I'm in the process of updating the docs for Pigweed's pw_alignment lib. Would that lib help here or are we talking about a different problem? https://pigweed.dev/pw_alignment/

(I'm not that familiar with this problem so I figured I would take this opportunity on a seemingly related problem to get more perspective.)
Not even a protest. There is a lot of talk about - "vote with your wallet" and they are choosing to vote. Sure, one can disagree with their vote and say it is bullshit and what not. But it is not blackmail.
Is it though? Someone might listen to your tracks on Spotify because it’s included in the flat rate, but would have never bought a CD or record of you.

And then those records had production costs and needed to be put in stores etc.

Yes, at the peak of CDs, there was more money to be made. But I’m not sure if the difference is really that big.
If you really want to do those distances in an EV you can get about a 30% range boost from drafting. But for a trip you’re making twice a year an extra hour is hardly that big a deal. If you have both then sure use an ICE, but over 6 months you’ll save more time charging at home and avoiding gas stations than you spend on that road trip.

> Love how you tried to invalidate my statement that electric cars have no legs, by instead saying it's just silly to drive long distance

I was saying doing a road trip for well past 1,000km is an odd choice. It seems odd that 1 million Canadians can be gone from home for 3-4 months and what have second houses?

Edit: Looks like 40% of Canadians wintering in Florida drive. So yea it’s a thing, but not the most common choice. https://www.thestar.com/life/travel/travel-smart-driving-sou...

> product types are the wrong shape for several different problems

While that is true, the shape has no bearing on the handling problem. Go could have every type shape-defining feature ever conceived and it would still have the very same handling problem – for errors and everything else.

> Errors are an example where it's more obvious to more people.

In my experience, the vast majority of bugs I encounter in the real world are related to the handling problem of non-error values. That is where it is most obvious, and not just in Go. I expect errors only get talked about because it is fashionable to repeat what someone else said, not because anyone put any thought into it.

> Also the machine actually does know about error

Only within the confines of one human interpretation of how the machine functions, just as is the case for code. The machine itself has no such concept. It doesn't have awareness that a given state is an error or a rainbow.

Noteworthy:

The article mentions (bulk, agricultural) rice prices of ~$16 per hundredweight - which is about 16 cents (US) per pound.

Vs. what price did you last pay at the grocer, when you purchase a bag of rice?

One might think that the food distribution industry is over-ripe for some very disruptive disintermediation...
Maybe that's the plan all along.
Does this allow using the mouse? Maybe not common amongst tiling window users but I like to just drag a window over another to swap them or resize one window from the frame and have the other tiles adjust accordingly. So far it seems only Amethyst and Yabai do this, but if Phoenix internally tracks the states of windows (position, etc.) then this should be feasible to write code for without relying on Mac's windowing api?
You think that bribing oil companies to not extract oil temporarily is a more effective financial lever than taxing emissions on an on-going (and escalating, if policy goals require that) basis? That seems as if we’d be prioritizing the needs of the oil companies and shareholders over those of the actual humans on the planet.

I've been using Yabai + skhd for years, and found the benefits far outweigh the issues. 99% of the time it's fine, and for the 1% I just disable it temporarily.

Killer feature for me (apart from windows automatically being resized to fit, which is great), is ctrl+i to switch to screen i, and ctrl+shift+i to move the current window to screen i. I tend to have 2 windows max per screen, and use Yabai to flit between screens / flit windows to different screens.

(I used i3 on Linux prior to setting up Yabai, and configured shortcuts to be similar to i3.)
The main body of the constitution describes the structure and function of the U.S. government. It is important to know from a civics perspective. People my age were taught about it in school, but there's not a whole lot to say about it. No one really contests the structure of Congress, the office of the President, or the Supreme Court and federal court system.

Some of the amendments, particularly the first ten, deal with more philosophical matters such as rights retained by the people which the government could not abrogate, or other checks on government power. If a person has a grievance against the government in the United States, generally it would be litigated under the auspices of the first ten amendments or the fourteenth amendment.

Significant portions of the main body, such as the election of senators by state legislatures and the "three-fifths" clause (according to which three fifths of the total number of slaves in a state were counted for purposes of allocating representatives to the House of Representatives for that state) were nullified or superseded by amendments.
Comment above address a part of the question https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38475154

Second part of the answer to your question is that you can not humanize the web (our stated mission) with just Search. The window to the web is the browser. It is the most important software we have on our computers and yet we are as a civilization somehow Ok with the fact that most mainstream browsers through which we inform and educate are directly or indirectly in the service of advertising companies (!).

If that is not dystopia, I am not sure what is. And that is what we are up against, even if the odds are against us.

Orion is the first browser in 20 years that you can pay for and own. Owning your browser is a thing again thanks to Orion!

It is also a great customer acqusition channel for Kagi, as we do not do advertising and many Kagi members told us this is how they found about the Search product.

Yes it is hard. Yes Orion only exists on Mac, because you have to start somewhere and we are a small team. But we will get there.
Amazon eng manager here, at least for one more day. I think Amazon is easier to get into than the other FAANGs (I've worked at two of them and was very close to getting into another). This is partially because it's easy/required to manage people out, and partially because Amazon has a rotten reputation in the industry.

It even feels like some teams hire low performers specifically to feed to the pip machine. Supposedly the idea of having a bar raiser in the interview dissuades that, but it certainly feels this way at times.
This is exactly what I want in a car, unironically. I really dislike car culture. I think it is ruining America. This is like wanting a bus to be fun and exciting. Why are daily driver cars supposed to be fun? We are spending all our infrastructure money building and maintaining massive roads at the expense of everything else.
How many stays does this 10 year period represent, and what is the rate of carbon monoxide deaths in the countries represented here? That is, is there any reason to believe there is an increased risk from staying at these AirBnbs, compared to staying in other homes in those countries? If not, then presumably what you want to do is call for these countries to mandate carbon monoxide detectors in homes, which would then cover AirBnb as well.
If you know the outcome is favourable then you go all in. Right now the other competitors are just trying to match GPT4, if they knew AGI was achievable then they would throw everything they have at it in order to not be left out.
I'm not a lawyer, and most of my knowledge of copyright law comes from Tom Scott's video on the subject [1], but it's worth noting that it's not universally agreed on that Weird Al's parodies fall under fair use. Again, I am not a lawyer, at best I'm a novice when it comes to copyright law, but what I do know, I agree with what Tom says: I wouldn't expect Weird Al to win if he was taken to court (if he didn't ask permission).

Integrating hammerspoon as the keybinding manager for yabai is a perfect match. You can treat yabai as an api for window management, and script some pretty cool things, like sending the current window to a new space, and either keeping focus or not, swapping windows, all kinds of fun stuff.
As an EM I'd advise you to consider if this person simply isn't outgoing or talkative.

Some people are shy or reserved, some people are happy to follow and go with the flow.

Trying to force a shy person to be outgoing can backfire and you'll lose a valuable teammate.
Nice. Thank you. If iodidimonas can be cultured in lab, I bet the researchers that conducted the study posted by OP can try to corroborate their hypothesis by testing if antibiotics more effective against iodidimonas are correlated to those that harm mitochondria the most, when compared to other bacterial groups.

This looks like someone with a grudge against AirBNB.

Looking in the US alone, there are about 1000 carbon-monoxide deaths per year.
The article says that there have been 19 deaths in AirBNB properties in a decade, and I believe they are speaking of worldwide numbers, not just in the US. It's hard to do exact numbers, but it looks like AirBNB properties are actually quite safe.
The problem I have with the 'effort' theory of value - which I also used to use! - is that you can take it to absurd conclusions.

For example, a beginner painter will take much longer to make the same painting as a master; so judged on effort, it should be better? Or if I make a minature cathedral out of matchsticks, then it might take me decades - is that therefore more interesting artistic output than a sketch that Picasso (say) made in one smooth line that took minutes?

Of course, a reasonable answer is that it is some combination of effort, aesthetics, personal choice, and fashion. Maybe it's like a recipe where the balance of these ingredients has to be right.

What alternatives are there for large groups of say 10-20 close friends/family that are that well priced with the amenities the average AirBnb offers (kitchen, pool, living room, etc.)? Hotels are not really an option for that size if you all want to be together with private communal areas.
