The problem in a declining population (low fertility, fewer young people) is that there are more older people per age range than younger people. Now because of biologically caused preferences, "age gap" preferences usually means an older man and a younger woman. Which means that some proportion of young men and old women will no longer find partners. It's especially a problem for young men, since older women usually can find partners when they are still young. And of course the severity of the problem depends on the country's fertility rate. South Korea or China a terrible places to be a young man.

The reverse problem of fertility vs sex difference in age preference exists in some African countries, where the fertility rate is very high. Which means there are more young people, which means some fraction of young women will not find a partner.

The whole problem wouldn't exist if people preferred (or society strongly encouraged) partners of their own age. Unfortunately puff pieces like the one above only focus on advertising empathy for the individual cases but ignore the societal problems they cause.

Another such example is polygamy, which mostly results in polygyny because of biological preferences. Which means many men (including older men this time) can no longer find a partner.

Hardware is nowadays designed in a way that some types of software benefit less from hardware improvements than other types of software. Thus, less and less optimizations improve performance not across the board, but instead only for some types of software more so than other types of software.
This is news to me. From what I can find (which is not much), it seems like XHTML5 is a further constraint on HTML5. So legal XHTML5 is legal HTML5.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5#XHTML_5_(XML-serialized_...

If that's true, that means <div /> is not valid XHTML5 because 1) trailing slashes don't close tags in html and 2) div elements require a closing tag.

And if that's true, then it's still different from JSX. But this XHTML5 thing might be surpassing my comprehension.
That a CAD program can only handle 2D doesn't mean that it doesn't describe 3D. Even when plans where physical large format blueprints, 2D, the product they described was of course always 3D. In French, the draughtsman was called a "dessinateur projeteur" - as projecting the 3D objects to a 2D plane (the plan !) was his core skill.
I get it, and labor on the question as well with the tools I make.

The problems you present seem easily managed with an option to sign up while limiting certain use cases to those using the service anonymously.

I like a limited local first design, and a “demo login” with a simulated fully featured account that I feel allow a person to make the decision to share a piece of their identity with our product without any stress or coercion.

I tried to acknowledge that they may think the sign up is necessary for them, and that is a completely acceptable decision to make. I was just pointing out that it carries the risk of turning away weirdos like me.

If I was to build something in the LLM space I would likely try to glean some answers to these questions by cold emailing the phind team to ask them what considerations went into their decision to provide their tool in the way they do.

What's especially fascinating is that the core of the problem is a generalization of the totient computation, so understanding the inclusion-exclusion construction of totient is very helpful to the problem, while simply memorizing the formula is a misdirection.

You can run an in-wall unit for a space like that. They're very efficient now, and the nicer models are both way cheaper than routing central air, and very quiet.

The bigger thing is, if it's a garage, it's likely not insulated, which means you'd have to do so for noise/efficiency. Probably still way better than having a desk in your toddler's room though.
>Force yourself into situations where you're the dumbest person in the conversation. Ask stupid questions. Get things wrong, listen for corrections, but leave room to ask followups.

In the spirit of asking stupid questions, what does "leave room to ask followups" mean here? What part of "listen for corrections" or "ask stupid questions" is it qualifying?
Some of it might be terminology issue.

For me, a training flight is a flight that is written with appropriate "exercise" number into logbook and is part of the official training program. These days most airlines do those on simulators, and they will include "rarer" operations like rarely used approaches (2xNDB instead of ILS, how to fly DME arc approach, etc), instrument failures, and so on.

You do not do such flights with passengers, because you're intentionally lowering the safety level.

In addition to that, there's a recommendation to randomly, given safe conditions, do regular manual operations. Mind you, those SOPs probably explicitly say "do not experiment after long haul flight".

I might have been a bit more cross because people have died (including in ways that impacted me) because of organizations that mixed "training" and "passenger" flights.

"Experience building" by flight hours (and in properly managed organizations, regular "manual" flying) is not the same as "training", at least in local vocabulary as used by my flight instructors and other people I know in aviation.

Thus somewhat mixed reading of what I wrote earlier. Was obvious to me, from responses wasn't obvious to others.

Apparently Dan Quayle told Pence to shut up and listen to the parliamentarian and that the VP only checks the certificates of ascertainment.
It's also how I learned driving safety. Our safety instructor would make us (slowly) drive over a wet rubber road surface. He also made us evade an object, randomly having to go around it to the left or right. And then one time he'd just pull the handbrake without telling us while we tried to evade.

I definitely agree with him about code reflecting one's understanding of the problem and its solution. I don't agree with the poor programming thing though. No one writes bad code on purpose. Sometimes things like that just slip through while I'm focusing on other issues. I do make an effort to polish things up before committing but at some point I have to decide that the code is good enough to push otherwise I'll succumb to perfectionist tendencies. I'm also a solo developer so I don't have anyone to review my code either.
I see tons of people use citation marks for non-literal quotes in all sorts of ways

That's why I said it's mostly about the paraphrasing and it makes sense to take it as such. Neither 'other people are doing it' (you didn't really provide an example of what 'it' is in this case) nor 'the other person started it' are all that important anyway. But if they were bad comments, hopefully you downvoted and/or flagged them.

Good luck with that.

I mean, that's how the site works already. Your comment got downvoted, flagkilled and you even got a personal moderator scolding, pretty much the maximum penalty an HN comment can get.

In general, avoiding as many standard internet battletropes (calling strangers narcissists who need to get overthemselves, aggro paraphrase, 'good luck with that', etc) as one can manage makes for better comments and better writing (on a messageboard, a very low bar to trundle over as it is).

But how can it be anything other than a zero-sum game? We are biomechanical units with a limited lifespan. We rent out this lifespan to the highest bidder we can access. And then we die.

And if one of the bio robots happens to be in a different position in the hierarchy (a founder maybe) - their task is to arrange the other biorobots just so and extract maximum output from them before they expire.

Sure, one can work to maximize the extraction and perhaps that's progress in someone's view. But it seems more geared towards ignoring the basic biology of the units involved and pushing them as hard as possible. They are a renewable resource after all, so churning through them faster means more efficiency.

In other words, anyone claiming that life is not a zero-sum game better be ready to demonstrate how immortality is possible. Otherwise it's bovine excrement.
I spent ~2.5 years working out of a smallish walk in closet during and after COVID.

It was both kinda quiet as it was on the 2nd floor and the kids played in the basement during lockdown. Part of me misses it as the "snug" feeling helped with focus as there weren't really any visual distractions. I did worry about the CO2 later in the stretch of using the closet and still worry about it now that I'm in a basement office that has no windows (but there is a window in the larger basement).

Funny story about working out of a closet:

During COVID, I worked at a place that was famously a bit of "meat grinder" with long hours, short tenure etc. I realized about half way through that I was very good at giving at honest sales pitch about the pros and cons of working there to the point that Recruiting would have candidates on the fence talk to me to try to "close" them.

I would usually start each call with "Yes, this is my closet" and end with "Now, if you come work with us, you TOO might end up working in a closet".

I had a 100% close rate so I guess it wasn't that bad of a joke or I'm a better salesman than I thought.
The work shed variant of the he-shed/she-shed movement.

Also, a simple towable RV or a used RV can do this job quite well. It doesn't even need to be road-worthy, it just needs to have its battery/generator/AC/heat functional. Plop a starlink and a 30amp line on your switchbox and you're good to go.

It's not attractive though for neighbors or housing associations, unlike a decently made shed.
Just like blockchain, meat space applications of digital chains of trust require too much benevolence. At the end of all the state of the art crypto is Grandma pushing a button.

Yeah they'll use a capacitor to charge up and then dump high current quickly (that's what they're good at, as opposed to batteries which are better suited for a longer, steadier, lower current output).
I live in London, and it’s very walkable and dense here compared to most US cities. Nevertheless, almost every vehicle is a delivery vehicle of some kind. Uber Eats deliveries and Amazon packages going everywhere all the time.

This was not an opinion about the machine or industry. I asked why the forces are necessary exactly because I don't know that part.

I disagree with the response about the pin weight, because I've got enough clue about mechanics and safety to know it's very unlikely to be a full explanation. The lifting happens either on a conveyor or the lift/harness. We have existing systems that can ensure you don't crush people with the weight itself this way. The dangerousness may come from different parts like higher torque motors, or exposed parts, or programming issues, or ... So feel free to comment on that if you know the answer.
This model is not close to even 3.5 from when I used it. It first of all does not follow instructions properly and it just runs on and on
They've only become scarce in the last 4-5 years, before that you could pretty much get what you wanted minus a couple highly sought-after models.
"My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger."

> The analogy is that some of your development is going to be wasted "servicing the debt" going forward until you fix that (pay off the debt).

This is the same for bog standard development though. Any code you add, regardless of whether it is termed technical debt or not, will make your future development slower.

Like you say, that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong move, you want to build a product after all, but I think I can see where the author comes from.
The reason it doesn't list what the computer is "useful" for is because quantum computers currently don't have a lot of uses. Right now, it's mostly:

- Fourier transform in log(n)^2 rather than nlog(n) time. Shor's algorithm uses this---the numbers 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, ..., 2^n (modulo n) are periodic for some factor of phi(n) (Euler-totient function). A Fourier transform will have a peak around that period, which you can quickly find on a quantum computer.

- Speeding up database queries (e.g. Grover's algorithm).

You can also make communications more secure with some quantum stuff, but that isn't computing. In the future, some more interesting computer applications will be:

- Physical simulations, e.g. how do proteins fold, or chemical reactions take place.

- Bayesian neural networks. After training, there's some distribution the weights could be in based on the initialization. Choosing a fixed set of weights results in overfitting, but if you instead take the expected output given that distribution, you get the most likely answer. That's obviously infeasible on a classical computer (though dropout approximates this), but possible on a quantum one.
> The default keybindings for said commands are cursed.

Default keybindings are a curse.

Software in general would be so much better if keybindings were always explicitly part of the user's configuration. Despite that being technically the case in Emacs, the reality just isn't as practical as it should be.

Every default keybinding brings an assumption into UI/UX. That assumption can never be removed: it can only be moved.

Ping and traceroute really shouldn’t need setuid on Linux anymore.

tracepath uses an option to set the TTL and works without setuid (although options like TCP tracerouting aren’t possible with that, but as mentioned that can use CAP_NET_RAW).

ping can also use a similar API to run fine unprivileged (fairly sure Fedora uses that already to have a non-setuid ping).

It definitely had its downsides, but holding TOP1 for 6 lists (3 years straight) was an achievement. Biggest issues weren't in engineering IMO.

GPUs also have a weird programming model and yet here we are. I think in the end what mattered the most was the strategic failure to address the low-end market with Phi. When the right time came everyone did CUDA because everyone already had a GPU -- basically the same reason why x86 won the server market against SPARC decades ago.

In the meanwhile came the 2015 US export ban, then loss of interest by the management right before matrix multiplication stopped being an HPC problem and came into every segment in the form of ML.

Based on what we know now probably the best strategy was to bet everything on Intel Graphics and leverage the widespread of built-in graphics while it was dominated by Intel. From there it was possible to eat Nvidia's lunch in hi-end and HPC too. However in 2010 it wasn't certain at all. No one was talking about AI, the buzzword of the time was "big data" which relied on conventional computing methods. Deep learning revolution didn't happen yet, even GBDTs weren't a thing, ML was about linear regression. MPP architectures were confined to physics simulation and 3d graphics (which is a physics simulation of a sort).
