And those are corporate jobs - sector like IT which are seeing rapid growth.

I would like to see stats on factory job worker wage growth.
No way are they seeing 40% growth!

At the same time, YOY inflation in India is pretty high
https://www.statista.com/statistics/271322/inflation-rate-in...

India keeps the majority of the population afloat by big socialist spending - government handouts or there would be riots on the streets!
This is true for suburbs because the money comes from outside of the local economy since those people mostly commute to work. For actual small towns, nowhere near a large city, it's quite a different story, almost reminiscent of a 3rd world country.
also vehicles would be

- 10x costs to maintain the vehicles (tires brakes etc)
- 10x less energy efficient
- 10x less comfortable, cars are bumpy trains are smooth
> perhaps one way to cut costs could be to over ventilate at night in the summer (after measuring temperature) forcing (filtered) cold air from outside into the house and forcing the existing warm air out.

Setups like this are fairly common, especially in commercial construction. There are “economizers,” various forms of “whole house fan,” and a few HRVs/ERVs with a built in bypass feature. Also windows. HRV bypasses are not especially high flow.

Sadly, most whole house fans are designed quite specifically for houses with vented attics. While most house do have vented attics, there is very little excuse these days to build a vented attic, especially in wildfire-prone areas.
If one wants anything more than 2.5g ethernet, one should just install single mode fiber, nothing else.

Running 10g+ on copper is expensive and consumes too much electricity.
I'm in similar situation. I much prefer to walk, because it's healthier, cheaper, less stressful an more pleasant than driving. Also, since it doubles down as excercise, I don't have to do as much of it.

I carry the groceries in a large-ish (35 L) backpack.
There is no reason to suspect any of these elements are stable. The paper seems to be alleging that they existed in quantity at the end of the r-process such that they produced otherwise hard to explain ratios of other stable nucleii (i.e. their fission products).

If there were stable transuranic nucleii, we'd need to work very hard to explain why we can't find any in the universe.
Guess he'll need some people to go in on this with him? He'll have to.. share the wealth?
General takeaways:

- Don't destroy what you don't understand (Chesterton's Fence).

- Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. A cliche for sure, but rarely understood by moderns. See: DDT, Mao's Sparrows, GMO crops, etc.

- Eat no fruits from the past one-thousand years, drink nothing from the past four thousand.

- A man with debt or a salary is a slave. A man who has a reputation to uphold is also a slave.

- Read Socrates and drink barolo, read Game of Thrones and drink beer, but don't drink martinis and read the New Yorker; i.e. indulge in the high-brow and the low-brow, but stay away from the middle-brow - it's pretentious.

- 20 spare cots is a nice preparation to make when you only ever need an extra 10, but you should have prepared for when you need an extra 400, because now you need an extra 400 and you have none to spare; i.e. efficiency and the most-likely scenarios don't account for fat-tail events, and it's the fat-tails that will kill you, lest you understand them and prepare for them, like a pandemic.

The effects these have had on me:

- No longer experience FOMO.

- I am far less envious.

- More relaxed, non-reactive, and not easily sensationalized.

- I've developed a healthy skepticism for the new and shiny, especially in regard to scientific studies.

- Better at detecting and ignoring noise, versus signal.

- Better understand the strengths and value of tradition and religion, especially Christianity.

- Better ability to evaluate risks, upsides/downsides.

- I'm better at distinguishing a true wise man from a fool.

- I understand how iatrogenic modern medicine is, and so I am able to keep me and my family healthier by foregoing the expedient prescriptions of fragile doctors.

There's more, but words are failing me, and that's the gist.
During training, they synthesise new viewpoints, i.e. like those that you would use for a turntable animation. Then they use a diffusion model to optimise these frames for visual coherency. Unsurprisingly, the resulting turntable animation then looks visually more coherent than the results by other models.

In effect, I believe what happens here is that where the actual data is ambiguous, they use the diffusion model's hallucination ability to fill in details (which, thus, weren't in the training data).

But since diffusion models are known to memorise things (like the Getty watermark) and were trained on most of the internet, there is also a chance that the diffusion model memorised an actual frame of the original training data which was withheld during evaluation. So there is a chance of groundtruth data leaking into the testing results, I believe.
A lot of the Googleable information seems to be from chip vendors who want to sell those things :) Yeah it's intended for new designs. Fewer wires than the original 10mbps ethernet.

> Just as a fact: his only technical contribution to teslas is the design of the goddamn rearview mirror. There are plenty of (unconfirmed) accounts of having to deliberately present information to elon a certain way so he will accept the decision made by the experts, which while I don’t know how true, seems surprisingly plausible, given his personality.

First of all, how do you know this. Where you a fly on the wall for the entire life of Tesla Inc? This is supremely implausible.

Second, why are you willing to believe that good decisions can be made by "the experts", but if it's a rich, brash person you don't like, they can't possibly be "an expert"?

> Also, being the richest person doesn’t mean that $40b in immediate hard cash is not a big hit. Most of this evaluation is very transient, e.g. the evaluation of tesla shares

He didn't even buy the whole thing himself; he has partners in it with him.

> (which are very overvalued right now — is it really worth more than all the top 3 car companies together? When they sell orderS of magnitude more cars?)

Tesla might be overvalued, but selling "orders of magnitude more cars" is actually a drawback if you can't do so profitably.

GM: revenue 165b, profit 10.5b (https://valustox.com/GM)

Tesla: revenue 92b, profit 10.2b (https://valustox.com/TSLA)

Ford: revenue 165b, profit 4.3b (https://valustox.com/F)

They may well be worth more than the others given that they're positioned for much better future growth.

I'll just let your last comment stand on it's own merit.
I'm sorry, that was poorly worded. What I was trying to say is that if the CPI is 10% and one component of it is 40%, it implies the presence of other components that are under 10% (and of course, the possibility of some that might have been negative).
Yes. And to clarify to ensure no surprises, it's 2000 build minutes of the 2x runner. That's 1000min if on the 4x, and 25min on the 16x.
It's twice more minutes if using the arm runners.

May be easier to think of it as an $8 credit. It shows up as such in the dashboard.
Yeah but at those internships you aren’t taught how to build quality software, just how to ship a SPA that connects to an API in 15 weeks (or you’re not hired).

It is a good peek into the professional software world though!
I get the feeling that by the time I've paid for that and the hat I could probably have bagged a Lenovo mini PC...
Sure, I've run into a couple. Here's a chart of Defects per KLOC. Great.
We are talking about 8.2 billion dollars from a 6.5 trillion dollar budget. The US brings in 5 trillion dollars in revenue yearly.

This is like someone making 100k a year complaining about spending 16 cents on something because they have a loan to pay off.
The problem is that nobody has built an actual ffi solution except maybe the GObject guys. C isn't an ffi, because you need a C compiler to make it work. By that I mean it is not an interface, but rather just C code whose calling part has been embedded into your application.
In my view, the path to mastery is to first learn the rules, follow them and then learn when to break them and then transcend all of that:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuhari

TBH, I don't know if I will ever reach the transcendence stage, but my two cents are (after 20 years of professional programming) that breaking the rules is sometimes desired but not when the person has not even reached the first stage. The example from OP, as explained in the post, seems a clear case of never reaching stage one, following the simple rule of no duplication.

The conclusion in the article is kind of good and bad: it seems the OP has reached stage two but for all the wrong reasons and there is no telling whether they now actually posses the knowledge or that they just discarded one rule to follow another, both of which can be wrong or right based on the situation.
Would you prefer the situation where 200 billionaires get to will it instead?
Well the 'mainstream media' (I now hate this term) is being pretty fair, but you have offshoot "media" companies that aren't doing any real journalism, just riling up their fanbases to get more clicks/views. The 'real' media is being fair in criticizing the social media companies for promoting Fox News / OAN / whoever else as if they're on par with actual journalism. And for sending people down rabbit holes / filter bubbles so that when they see truth they scoff at it.
> Well, not buildings if they are in or visible from a public place in the US, at least under copyright law.

Ahhh, you're correct. This was apparently changed in 1990. I just hadn't updated my mental model in accordance with that change.

Say you've invented a device that everyone wants, that vastly improves the quality and convenience of everyone's lives. People are willing to line up in the cold for the chance to buy one from you. Even if you capture the entire market for these types of devices, make billions, and ruthlessly squash any competition, you've already added tremendous value. People's lives have already been improved by your contribution to the world. They are better off than they were before.

Plenty of companies have accomplished the above while playing fair, simply because of the value their products add to their consumers. And once they have added this value, how much they nag you doesn't matter. If you didn't like it, you'd go back to DOS and IRC. The fact that you don't demonstrates my point.
> decided not to have children

Most people seem to have a preference for having children.

> People must be more responsible.

That's another preference, but unfortunately for you it's a minority preference while preferences are averaged (democracry) then encoded (law) at the society level.

So what's happening is the opposite: people who prefer not having children will be made to subsidize the costs of these expansive treatments.

What's interesting is that there's also a taboo of editing DNA, but this decision shows the societal preference for having children is greater than this taboo.

So maybe this taboo is just a preference after all, or a path dependant result due to the precedent of eugenism?
Andy Weir‘s novel Project Hail Mary explores this to some extent. Well, not super heavy elements, but heavier ones than the stuff we’re made of.
You may not be taught to build it, but everyone sure seems to know how to argue it.
You're going to want to avoid using language straight out of GATTACA if you want to have a real conversation on this topic.
>could care less about Windows OSes.

So you're saying they do care?

(I'm just giving you a hard time. The correct expression is "could not care less about <x>".)
It's simple professionalism. X is its name. Quite disheartening to constantly see the pull towards unprofessionalism just because the target is an other. Your own integrity should be pulling you to represent yourself correctly. It should have nothing to do with your external feelings towards the thing. And especially have nothing to do with your desire to hurt something.
Are you going to mention, describe or post some examples....Or...keep focusing on the way I asked for it?
You’re completely missing the forest for the trees.

The richer are getting ever richer, with everyone else stagnating or regressing. Last time inegality was this high gave birth to the concept of a union, to the creation of communism, etc.

If you’re a capitalist who despises progressive ideals, you should be wary right now. The very rich are so rich they’re grabbing all the gains with nothing for anyone else.
I have been using Kagi for the past 9 months. I can't wait until they can fully replace Google for me, but I have a few problems with it.

1. Some niche domains are entirely not crawled by Kagi. Obviously, Google crawls a ton more and while Kagi can get 90% of what I need, I must fall back to Google occasionally.

2. Searching for restaurants or maps is poor. I didn't realize how much I relied on Google reviews for businesses until I switched to Kagi. Plus, the built in "order" buttons, photos, menu tab etc. are all missing. At least Kagi has a button to launch Google Maps, but I'd like more in Kagi itself.

3. I get results from other countries for Amazon and other web shopping sites even though my region is United States. I can't make them lower priority unless it's in the subdomain.

I use Kagi for search but have to fall back to Google 3-4 times a day at least.
> Wages are definitely up, but if you factor in all the price increases of rent and groceries, I don't see how anything is better for the poorest

Well yes - rent is driven up by more people being around, and groceries by wages and fuel going up. As for fast food jobs - if a fast food job can get you a place to live by yourself that's amazing, but surely that's going to be harder and harder to find as demand stays high and the number of 2-income families, who can just out-bid you easily, also is high.

My point was that this anger itself seems rooted in media and agitation / political movements. Anger (= news headlines) sells news subscriptions, anger sells votes (or something).

Like many pointed out here, this "43%" was nothing special this year if, for example, you are mid-career and have moderately aggressive stock market participation. It's an example of headline entirely cooked up for agitation.
There is a big effort to do that actually, called Project CETI: https://www.projectceti.org/

Thank you so much for the speedy response in all mediums I tried to reach out, downgraded to 16x for now, checking if it'll work.
Author needs to change shop

Where I work is 50% qa effort at least, 50% by budgets, and devs do much >50% automated testing as part of what we call development.

Anything less and projects take longer, because bugs found later cost so much more to fix.
That is yes the hammer!
Show HN: Eliminate video buffering with a Chrome extension
This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch.

It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans.

I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN.

It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week), so let me know if you see any bugs or have feature suggestions. I usually address such requests on Github within 2-3 days.

I don't think so. They'd just figure out a way to do the same thing, or leverage it, or make a business that makes it easier for those people to take advantage of that rule in exchange for a small fee!
There is a very long list of what would be better than the current status.

None of them can work until the Jews and Palestinians actually want to stop killing each other.

They are currently stuck in a prisoners dilemma.

Who knows, if you are an optimist, maybe the destruction of hamas will be through enough that a successor accepting of current boarders comes to power.

This is the only way I can imagine things moving forward.
Sundar Pichai's total comp is like $220 million but $2 million of that is in salary and the rest is in stock.

I agree that capital gains should be taxed more - its strange how income (work) is taxed higher than money sitting in accounts, doing nothing.
A chase doesn’t reduce living space, it may however compromise sound deadening between rooms.
You mean YAML?
I stand corrected.

Thank you for the information.
Having read the article. I don't know where one would get the idea that it said anything meaningful about the songs being like "talking", which implies a whole host of features that were not even mentioned. They made analogies with human language phenomena such as suprasegmental features but really this was about there being newly discovered patterns in the sounds. These were not correlated to any specific meaning or purpose. We need those if one is going to talk about the whale song as a communicative system at all, much less a language. With reference to something like Hockett's design features, we have a modality, but despite the existence of a pattern, we don't even know if there is discreteness, necessarily. It is kind of like how children will be taught about atoms and think about the solar system. The analogy may be meaningful or not. The article relies on the readiness of the reader to anthropomorphize the noises made by the animals and misleads them.
I agree, the real problem with Harvard is that it doesn't punish speech harshly enough.
The pro-Israel information war
Does an 8" chase have that much effect on livable space? Would 2980 sqft vs 2979 sqft make any difference to most buyers?
The problem is also that people want class warfare. Not just that it sometimes sublimates into other tribalisms. And all of this is regularly taught in universities, so I don't think it just arises due to "inequality".
Why would you need to prioritize one over the other? Plumbing, electrical, etc already utilize the same spaces inside of walls and floors. No reason this couldn’t be done the same way without cutting down the living area at all.
Does anyone else feel like 5G made this a lot worse? I used to get strong 4G LTE at my house but now that I have a phone capable of 5G and things around me have "upgraded" I can barely get a useable signal inside my house. Similarly, my local walmart is a deadzone now. Yay progress?
As a new owner of a pre-owned PHEV, the "pre-warm" functionality is gold. Love it.
> If you believe you can ship bug free code, it's time to switch careers.

Unfortunately, you are correct. Shipping in time and bug free are inversely proportional, and in a world were usually it's hard to argue with PMs for more time to have better testing, or paying tech debt... it's just a reality
Key line from the article:

> what is at the beginning of the original signal will be at the end of the reflected signal

Leading with that would have made the whole thing a lot less interesting to non-physicists (possibly everyone, dunno).
Absolutely.

I cannot fly professionally anymore due to health, but this is something we are taught in aviation and something I too find lacking from tech so far.

Like, you’re taught the standards as part of learning to fly, but as time goes on, you’re told to narrow your tolerance of what is acceptable. So if you are learning how to do steep turns, for instance, the altitude standard is +- 100’. You’re taught, “that’s the minimum, you should be trying for 50’” and then 20’, then the absolute best performance would be where you do your turn, the needle doesn’t move, and as you roll out on a calm day you fly through your wake. But the goal is “better, always better, what can I do better?” And flying is not graded on the overall performance, if you don’t do satisfactory everywhere you fail. Culturally satisfactory, isn’t, it’s the starting point.

That encourages a much more collaborative model I feel like. I’ve only worked one or two flying jobs that were not collaborative. In the outside world it sometimes feels the opposite. In flying, you truly want everyone to succeed and do well, and the company does. Even the guys I hated that I flew with, I didn’t want them to fail. If they failed, I was partially responsible for that.

It wasn’t always perfect, and I worked with some legendary assholes while I was flying, but truly, they supported me and I supported them, and if I screwed up (or they screwed up) the culture required that we found a way to minimize the future potential screwups.

You’re actually trained on what quality means in a wide variety of contexts too, and flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) is a big part of many airlines. In smaller bush operations where I worked, it is significantly more informal, but we truly had a “no fault” culture in nearly all the places I worked. It’s not perfect, but that’s the point, “ok how can we make this better?”

If someone had an idea for how to do something better, there may have been friction, but that was rare if it actually was better, and as soon as you could show how adoption was fast even at the less standardized operations I worked at.

Not saying it’s all unicorns and rainbows, but I feel like quality, and decision making, and “doing the right thing” were an integral part of the culture of aviation. “The weather is too bad and I cannot do this safely” grounds the flight, you don’t blast off into the shit (at reputable operators) to get the job done anymore (it’s not 1995), and it feels like this new industry is the opposite.

The entire concept of a “minimum viable product” is somewhat illustrative of the problem. It shouldn’t be the “minimum viable” it should be the “minimum quality product we’re willing to accept as a starting point.” But that doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way.

We shouldn’t be striving for anything that’s the “minimum.” The minimum is only the beginning.
Care to explain how supporting Occupy Wall Street was "naive" and being taken for a ride?
I think most residential homes in the US aren’t the work of architects these days, but designers. The difference being credentials, not diligence/skill.

Either way I suspect they aren’t optimizing for living space, but salability and construction cost. That’s what buyers will actually use in decisions - ability to pay and perception of quality/value.
Correct. As I like to tell my team, if I’ve typed something I’ve caused a bug. It’s all about risk.

I assume I’m not infallible.

Writing some unit tests, C++ and mocking in my case, give both the team and myself some confidence I’ve not made things worse.

I’m the most experienced dev in the department.
This feels like the plot to a dystopian science fiction story. You’re effectively arguing in favor of eugenics…
"Peachy Fuzz" Is Pantone's 2024 Color of the Year
I don't know anything about Polish law either, but in the US, copyright law (DMCA in particular) makes it illegal to modify the software in a device you own, if it requires circumventing protection code or devices. Which it probably would in this case.
