Hopefully they don't make the dogs breakfast that is Hulu -- there you can have a subscription "without ads" but then they show you adds on some content. There's no logic to determine which content gets ads and which doesn't, nor can you tell if you would be just as well off not subscribing to the no-ads level since you can't tell how many (if any) additional adds that would generate.
There is an intuitive way to see why this is true.

Picture a circle rolling around the outside of another. Easy to picture, right? Even if it’s not clear how many times it rotates, you can still visualize it.

Now imagine the outer circle has to spin around the inside of the first circle.

Stack two quarters, and try to spin the top quarter around the inside of the bottom quarter.

You can’t do it. There’s no room. If they’re identical size, the top quarter can’t spin "around" the inner edge of the bottom quarter.

Now put a penny on top of a quarter. Spin that around. Not along the outside, but along the inside of the quarter. You’ll see the penny is tracing a very tight circle. There’s not much room.

Now put the penny next to the quarter and spin it around the outer edge of the quarter. It goes easily. Plenty of room.

If you do the naive calculation, you’d get the same answer for both cases. But clearly there’s a difference.

The difference is more apparent if you imagine the coins had little teeth, like gears. If you go around the outside, it’ll go just fine. But if you hollow out the quarter and put teeth along the inside, and try to spin the penny around in that, you’ll find that it doesn’t make anywhere close to a full rotation each time you go around.
Ergo the rise of concentrated solar thermal plants (CSPS) and using excess peak solar to produce hydrogen, ammonia, methonal, etc for off peak (night time) demand.

Batteries aren't the only way in which energy can be offset by 10 hours to meet lower night time demand.

I love this! I use pipx all the time, and this is perfect workaround on a computer that either does not have Rust and/or requires me to manually download from the repository.

Great idea, and I am wondering if there are more utilities I could/should wrap in a similar fashion. A cross platform brew.

Most people familiar with the situation recognize that a two-state solution is no longer viable, if it ever even was in the first place. Israeli settlement of the West Bank and East Jerusalem have made it impossible to create a viable Palestinian state, and there is very little political will in Israel to enact a two-state solution.

The one-state solution has already been implemented by the Israeli government. There is one state that rules everything between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea. It's called Israel. Israel has ruled that territory for 56 years, which is most of Israel's existence. There is no indication that Israel will give up that territory in the foreseeable future.

The only realistic question now is whether the one state that exists will become a full democracy, or whether it will continue to disenfranchise 40% of its population. Continuing to pay empty lip service to the two-state solution 20 years after the "peace process" died is just useless.

As for how to get the Israelis to agree to finally enfranchise the Palestinians, I think that will take external pressure. Israel has been able to maintain the status quo so long because it has unconditional American backing. If that backing is removed, Israel will be in a very different and much more difficult situation.
Incentivising people to drink to the point of hangover (ie overconsumption)
I live in California so the only minor difference is that you can use lethal force if a mountain lion is attacking a domestic animal but the CDFW will be on your ass and you better be sure it was the only option or you'll get prosecuted for poaching. (I just shoot a shotgun into the air which scares them off)

Otherwise you need a depredation permit that are "must issue" if you have evidence of a mountain lion attacking your livestock but only one in ten applicants are granted a lethal depredation permit. The rest must use non-lethal deterrents because lethal force is only authorized if there's a genuine threat to public safety.

For a rancher or someone living in a rural area, lethal permits are rarely issued. In several parts of the state like the Santa Monica and Santa Ana mountains permits are no longer issued at all.

I was homeschooled through 6th grade, entering regular school, it was striking just how "slow" everything seemed.

Conversely, I struggled immensely for a year and a half, once my 3 year lead on material ran out.

The difference in quality and speed in something you're self-motivated to do and are doing at your own pace, versus something you're being told to do at someone else's pace, even with the same person in both cases, is quite astounding.

Or maybe that's the viewpoint of someone with ADD, and most people can keep steady progress _and_ lead balanced lives. I'll never really know.

This subscription based reality has got to end. I'm drawing a line in the sand.
Wait until you're 90% through a TV show and your streaming provider removes it from their catalogue.

Would you buy the DVD boxset or perhaps the final season?

Or maybe download the last few episodes?
Well, over-fitting is a term borrowed from biology (and generalisation from economics), so not surprising in grand terms.

Maybe the real surprise for some is that not everything was invented in the valley.
The "north" of Canada (assuming you mean a place that has some semblance of infrastructure) doesn't get -that- cold in the summer. Yellowknife and Whitehorse both have average summer temperatures around 20C.

In any case, I think you'd still need substantial cooling infrastructure to deal with the summer. Your capital costs are going to waaaay higher. While your thermal management costs will go down, your payroll will probably be higher.
Consumer grade GPUs like NVidia's 3090 and 4090 max out at 24 GB VRAM, and those cost $1000-2000 each. You can get higher VRAM but need enterprise GPUs which are in the five figures, easily starting at $30K a pop.

Per this calculator, for training, only gpt2-large and gpt2-medium would work with those two top-of-the-line GPUs.

For inference it's certainly a bit better, only the Llama-2-70b-hf and Llama-2-13b-hf don't fit in that much VRAM, all the other models do.
Isn't that a reality check.
Plus, the trick that this virus uses to kill is that it kicks off a cytokine storm, which is far more likely if your body is racing the virus to eradicate it than if your immune system is already primed and squashes the virus when its infection volume is small and localized.

We're not just talking the flu-like symptoms here, the most relevant symptoms are "risk of death decreased."
I like repurposing WITH, as it already had the semantics of selecting a single branch out of an unordered collection of guarded branches (or the ELSE as complement).
The application to sidereal time is where this really gets interesting. It’s far from a trivial question of semantics or a mathematical trick. It’s something astronomers have known about for ages, since the amount of time it takes for the Earth to make one rotation is different from the perspective of distant stars than from the perspective of the sun.
> If you have to choose between buying a washing machine or sending your kids to a tutor. If you have to choose between buying everything as individual unit at the grocery store or cheaper-in-bulk goods from a big box store. If you have to choose between seeing the doctor now or wait and see if the issue goes away. If you have to choose between sending your kids to college or sending them off to work at 18.

I kind of think these are just middle class issues rather than poverty; but you're right that this means different things to different people.

> Decisions small and large, accumulate and create a much bigger impact than most people imagine. Now imagine having to make these decisions consistently for two decades until you can see the return on it - like say your kids actually getting a better job or you becoming an entrepreneur or finding a career ...etc.

I think there's an element of "little bit at first, then all at once" -- i don't think it's that these individual items that "make wealth" but rather, they would be symptoms of different states of mind regarding stress, risk, etc.

I climbed out of poverty and met my wife who's "comfortably middle-class" -- she has no appetite for risk (see dr straight away, get name-brand products, college first) and i have a much larger appetite for risk (wait and see, bulk-buy products, work first).

Interesting to think about, thanks for the comment; i wonder if there is/should be a study / analysis on those questions.
With prices of all streaming crawling upwards, and often multiple services being required to cover the catalog of what you want to watch, purchasing† has become a compelling option again. Realistically, if you're paying for Netflix, Prime, and Disney+, you're looking at a $45/mo bill. With seasons of shows costing around $10-15 to buy, are you better off with streaming? I personally don't watch more than a full season of a show in any given month, and I've just started considering this. One notable benefit - most streaming providers have a larger digital catalog for purchasing than for streaming, meaning you can centralize more.

The obvious downside though is at some point the show may just magically disappear from your purchased library, if negotiations between the platform and the creator go south††. I'd love to see some laws in this area where "a purchase is a purchase" to prevent this, but for now it's a risk (albeit one with maritime workarounds).

That's why GP said 'vi', not 'vim' or 'neovim'. It's an important distinction. You can still get old-school vi on most distributions, and it is far smaller and lighter than vim. In my experience, it feels snappy even if you're in an ssh session to a server in a different timezone.

I don’t think microecon 101 is an accurate model for IP licensing. Netflix just bought up unwanted licenses off distributors in the early days IIRC. It’s an arb play.
Dogs need food of the expensive kind: meat. They need shelter, and overall they are expensive and high maintenance.

On the other hand, a llama just grazes along with the other animals, produces good quality fertilizer, has tax benefits, can be sheared for wool, and the offspring can be sold for thousands of dollars. And on top of all that, can be used as a pack animal.

Plus, llamas won't cause you dramas with your kids or other pets or neighbors, won't dig tunnels and escape, etc.

Yes, which by the power of "hey look there's a lot of demand for that, we should invest in some factories to make money servicing that demand" means a lot of people make battery factories. And mines. And processing plants.

For those unaware, you can spin up your own direct-to-consumer streaming subscription business in a box (assuming, of course, you have sufficient content to entice viewers) with https://vimeo.com/ott . Perhaps the best known brand using them is Dropout TV (formerly CollegeHumor) - see https://www.dropout.tv/copyright .

At a lower level, Cloudflare, mux.com, and others provide streaming and transcoding APIs that a small team of developers can easily weave together for a custom experience.

There is literally zero barrier to entry for a media company to have all the capabilities of Netflix, if they can bring their own customers and marketing. Which, of course, is no small feat, and requires playing in social media sandboxes. But it's increasingly hard to understand how Netflix has the staying power of the rest of FAANG.

The first OpenGL tutorial from 30 years ago was called “Hello Triangle”. It was uselessly simple, just like the iconic “Hello World”.

I love how they have to tell me that prime is a very compelling value. I haven't used prime video too much lately but I think it's time to cancel prime completely. Prime used to get you 2 day delivery. Now it's anywhere from 2-7 day. Prime's value has continued to be eroded the last few years. Sometimes I order from Walmart.com because the pricing is as good, the quality better vetted (sold by Walmart items), and WILL be delivered faster than Amazon.
how do we systematically realign delivering quality and efficiency with profits

We don't. We should just acknowledge that certain sectors of the economy (including healthcare and education) are fundamentally incompatible with private profit. These sectors should be ring-fenced with their own managed budgets and money flowing out of the system should be subject to 100% tax rate.
> For example, ranchers who don't want their livestock eaten by wolves that they can't defend against, legally.

I recall listening to NPR one day on this topic, and they pointed out that ranchers lose several orders of magnitude more livestock due to other preventable causes that are mostly in their control. It's not likely they care that much about their livestock.

This further redefinition of the term "vaccine" is a huge problem

by definition a vaccine should NOT be a treatment, a vaccine has to be preventative, and further personally I believe only Sterilizing immunity should be considered a "vaccine"

This is very important, because a "vaccine" in the US has legal protections other medical drugs, treatments, etc do not get, which is why there is a push to include alot of these things under the definition of "vaccine" so now they get the legal shield

Old or low-resource games are a different market, which phones can participate in. But if there wasn't a separate market for console games then consoles wouldn't exist -- people would just use their phones instead of paying hundreds of dollars for a separate device. That people will pay money for a console when they already have a phone is a simple proof that the phone can't replace the console.

If consoles were required to be open then they'd likely merge with PCs, since a console is basically a PC but closed. This is another aspect of the anti-competitive nature of the industry -- if consoles were "basically a PC" and open then a non-Microsoft console would be a Linux PC sitting in a hundred million living rooms, which is a threat to Microsoft's desktop monopoly, and a major reason they created the Xbox. By subsidizing the sale price of the Xbox and making it back by shaking down game developers, they make an open console an uphill battle because it would have to charge more for hardware and less for games, which reduces initial adoption and the network effect, pressuring its primary competitors to do the same thing and be closed.

And then you get game developers targeting PlayStation instead of SteamOS, the latter of which would have made the games also run on any other desktop Linux, and general purpose software developers targeting Windows but not Linux because there aren't a hundred million general purpose Linux "consoles" in living rooms.

I suppose it depends on one's perspective. We used to call self-censorship "decorum."

The nature of human beings didn't change when we went online, and sometimes it behooves a person to just read the room before speaking. Because of the karma system, the upvote downvote system, and the user curated flagging system, I would classify Hacker News as a "decorum-friendly" message board where a certain amount of pre-filtering is not only necessary but highly encouraged.

I know that people who succeed in non-monogamous romantic relationships often need to do a lot of work to get to the point where they are happy when their loved ones are happy, instead of eaten alive by jealousy.

I'm just saying that I haven't yet fully matured in my own development such that I would be totally fine with my FTEs having other full-time engagements, even if they were completely transparent about it. Even though I believe that someone doing a great job has fulfilled their obligation to me. I should have no more say over what they do when they aren't working on my stuff than I do over who they choose to be with in their family life.

I am also saying that if someone can be my best employee without me knowing that they have a whole second full-time job, I respect their game and hope that they are taking some time off for themselves, too.

I just kind of don't want to hear about it. ;)

I also know three people in prison for murder, two for rape, and two more who died by cop while unarmed in their cars. It doesn't mean any of those things are popular or even approaching popularity. That you've heard of something doesn't imply popularity.

And at least in the case of the poly couples I mentioned, there are no poly couples anymore. Not only did all of them break up, but they all decided that it was incongruent to maintaining a lasting and trusting relationship for the long term.
