>Who owns natural resources?

Whoever legally owns them.

>Is it a god-given freedom to pollute the environment and damage other people's lives?

No, those people should be taken to court or private arbitration for violating whoevers property or rights were violated. If I have land I dont want it poisoned because there is an opportunity cost; people dont poison their own land, they poison others if they can get away with it, which is why most environmental catastrophes (flint, derailed chemical trains, pipeline bombings, nuclear war) occur as a result of government action, they have immense protection from legal accountability.

>This doesn't sound as if you believe in a non-dystopian free market.

What makes you say that? The free market exists anywhere there isnt something to stop it. If someone needs a cheap couch, I can at once see that 2 things are possible simultaneously, that the cheap couch is their best available option and should be available, and that their buying decisions might have been different if they had a better vehicle for saving their wealth. The non-dystopian future is the one where the cheap couch is available, but people also have a reasonable ability to save for something nicer that might last longer. Where the free market isnt, is in sanctions, central banking, bailouts, taxation, and government regulation, hopefully that clarifies things.

>In a way, yes! What use is a car without car infrastructure?...

There were cars and roads before there were taxes and subsidies to support them, if there is a market demand for cars and infastructure then it will be built. Simple equation, will I pay for a car and roads, call it an investment, so that I can get to work, and make even more money? Yes, that would be a good way to spend the money I have. See, you can hold a vote and remove those from public spending, but I still have an incentive to pay for these items, in fact id prefer it that way.

>Who decides if you are allowed to make goods and services by exploiting natural resources and polluting the environment?

Yes, great question, in fact the same one I framed to you. Are you going to vote to stop me from using my own legally and freely traded property to produce something? What if we vote to take your stuff, not everybodies, just yours. What if we vote that you are inconvenient to the rest of us? I imagine that will not end well for minority populations, is there anything we cant do if we vote for it?

>Honestly, "market failure" and "externalities" are well-known concepts to economists.

Could you unpack the term marlet failure? I dont think you quite understand what that term means; setting a price floor for lizard tails with the intention of exterminating them from your city would (has) lead to a market failure, there would (are) be more lizards than ever as breeders harvest their tales, and government wearhouses would (did) overflow with useless lizard tails.
Generating images on high end hardware and then...?
You're correct, it is so directed. It's also from the Kyiv Independent, or at least that's what it says at the end of the article. We do have to evaluate it in that light.

I wouldn't call it a "hitjob". The article illustrates consequences of an aspect of Trump's foreign policy. Trump's (potential) foreign policy is something a US voter should evaluate, especially in light of the testimony during his first impeachment inquiry and trial.
Hyperlocal public opinion bot campaigns in third world countries are different from swaying public opinion in the west.

I would not say any governments other than the US government "back" the Israeli government. The most the Israelis get is a cold neutrality, and an occasional abstention instead of yea vote in the many UN general assembly votes against Israel.
in FFA, you need to take at least 10 tiles by turn 60. That means 11 tiles including your general. But if you encounter another player before turn 60 it won't make you afk no matter what.
On iOS here and half the screen is taken up by a cookie pop up and my only option to dismiss it is by accepting. Is that legal in the eu?
No; treason - as narrowly defined in the US - requires work with/for external enemies. Attacking Congress in hopes of installing King Charles would be treasonous; doing it to install Trump is not.

Insurrection and seditious conspiracy remain somewhat different than boring old disorderly conduct and assault charges.
You’re all over this thread making this statement about fast food workers having to sign noncompetes. I could find no stories of this practice happening currently, the most recent I could find is in 2016 and the article is about this practice ending in 2016. Which fast food chains in the year of our lord 2023 are putting noncompetes in their employee’s contracts?

Hot take: Most clinicians should code at time of data entry in order to not play telephone with patients' medical information.

Transmission chain method >
Application in studies of memory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_chain_method

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory_syndrome#Evidence... :

> Human memory is created and highly suggestible

Though nowhere is it shown that clinicians are even competent enough to add RDFa linked data annotations to their TXT unstructured notes with an encabulator.

It's clear that there's value in disambiguation; did they say "biomemetic" or "liquid metal" days ago on a dictaphone in a loud environment?
At the dialogue level, I don’t think it’s practical to require people to give a full accounting of every related topic while speaking on a subject. There are infinite facts that are related to any one fact. Anyone can win any argument by including one more related fact and saying “well without stating your opinion on this I can discard your opinion on that.” We’ll all get nowhere.

At the actual substance level, I also don’t think it’s fair or honest to take “silence” on a topic as evidence of support for it.

In this particular case, I would bet fewer than 0.00001% of the people you’re arguing with are actually okay with (or supportive of) keeping hostages in Hamas’ custody or raping people. You’re battling a cartoon villain that you drew yourself.
it's neither comprehensive nor, as far as i know, historically important, but i've sure learned a lot about electronics from it

i certainly haven't read through it like a novel, though! it's more like, read a few pages, draw a few schematics, run a few simulations, write a few pages of notes, repeat. sometimes the pages are pages i've read previously. plausibly i'll never finish the book, and that's fine with me

i find it both more accessible and more reliable than commonly suggested alternatives like sedra & smith; what alternative would you recommend?
Chinese private companies face a bleak future due to the country's distorted economic structure; state-owned enterprises, which boast the most resources, offer a better work-life balance, while private firms are subject to stringent restrictions.
> Honestly I'm not sure how we can start a peace process after the terrorist atrocities that were committed?

Israel somehow managed to convince other arab states and the US to make peace after the Lavon Affair and USS Liberty incidents, I'm sure they can manage to find some equivalent forgiveness in their hearts this time around :)

> At this point I think the best is to just evacuate all Palestinians to the rest of the Arab countries as refugees and then just leave the contested territory as unoccupied and "dmz" like for both sides.

Logistically far more israelis have dual citizenship elsewhere than Palestnians, so perhaps they should leave instead?
There are many problems here. Taking a neutral city costs 40 troops, taking a long time to recuperate. You're better off looking for the enemy and attacking immediately, only taking neutral cities in the late game when it takes 20+ moves to deploy men against the enemy.

Attacking the enemy is better than taking neutral territory, n.b. you want to do this towards the end of the turn so your conquered territory will respawn.

Just changing the colour of an LED seems okay to me. I'm thinking more of the HP school of business where the toothbrush would stop working until the correct proprietary brush was replaced.
Germany hits 80 GW milestone
Yes this. It's not like the entire tooth brush stops working. Also, if you've used the brush for so long, it may very well be time to replace the head for the sake of oral hygiene. The most consumer unfriendly thing about these toothbrushes is just how expensive the heads are.

Can you talk more about what models of geography you're referring to? In school in the US, I was always taught there were 7 continents, including the North and South Americas as 2 separate ones. As far as I remember, there was never even a mention of other models apart from maybe some historical understanding before lands had been fully explored by Europeans.
If for some reason you really need to represent exactly a third of a meter (or anything else) rationals are not exactly difficult to use on a computer.
Vernacular architecture here was for people to live directly over the barn, as a side effect giving them residual heating.
What are you actually arguing here?
How to beat the odds when you play contests
You can divide a meter into four 25 centimeter pieces, or five 2 decimeter pieces.

Alternatively, you could restrict US units to just yards if you wanted, and get nearly the same inconvenient behavior as meters.

Just because most metric unit ratios are a power of ten doesn’t mean there is no ratio.
I don't think that's a very strong argument since it applies to a lot of laws that are very much considered acceptable. From trespassing to the entire field of intellectual property.
In general, I agree, and like using it. But, it's lagged quite a bit regarding Wayland, and still uses some strange components under the hood (acpid instead of logind, connman instead of network manager, etc). I hope it becomes a bit "modernized," where it makes sense.

Yea I have this toothbrush too, I also noticed the weird IC on the bottom of the brush head when I first bought it, I nearly correctly surmised what it did, was a little upset at the prospect of being forced to buy a new head when Phillips decided it was time, but it turns out it doesn’t really do anything, it buzzes a few times at the end of brushing when it thinks it’s time. And the LED changes color… who cares…

The recommendation generally is to replace your tooth brush semi-annually, which this basically reminds you to do.
Fair

I meam Aristotle is a strong candidate for "greatest achiever of all time", being a true polymath who arguably contributed to or invented every school of intellectual thought in existence at the time his contributions were valued for centuries. But in between the seminal stuff on logic and ethics, his writings on the metabolism were a right load of old nonsense. And I bet his HN account would be an absolute riot!
If you like 100% focusing on programming, I wouldn't recommend consulting.

Consulting is a great way to get a broad range of exposure to every part of running a business. If you want to handle client relationships, planning, dealing with finances, payment issues, and the like, you'll like consulting. It's a very "heads up" whiteboarding-with-the-client, very social kind of work. Maybe that suits you, maybe it doesn't.

Often the problems clients face are at the intersection of organizational and technical problems, not purely technical ones.

How much more cash do they need ? Isn’t MS footing the cloud bills and sourcing gpus for them ?
In BC and Ontario (and I believe other places too) the building code includes passive heat capture for drains for new builds. You can recover quite a bit of the heat for very little money.
I wonder what the 100B of value is here? The researchers (who may quit and go work for someone else at any moment? They have shown that they have zero commitment/loyalty to OpenAI from their recent shenanigans and have shown their hand - i.e. that they would jump ship immediately given the right conditions)?

Or is there actually a viable revenue stream here that justifies that valuation? Last I heard their API revenue was chicken feed.

To paraquote Google, I feel like there is no moat here... But maybe I am wrong?
people often ask why things like this get linked on the front page

i suspect that in this case it's because two comments on the nand2tetris thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38735066 recommended the book (which i remember because i wrote one of them)

You should try using AI to gauge sentiment.
He buried the lede: "Drawing comic strips for five years without pay drove home the point that the fun of cartooning wasn't in the money; it was in the work."

My advice is similar: don't do what you love, do what you can stand doing for 10 hours a day.

When people ask about software development, I say: can you debug one line of code for 10 hours straight? if so, then you can be a software engineer.

(actually, I've had to chase bugs for 3+ days straight, but I don't mention this lest it scare the kiddies...)

As always, there was (and still is) so much technological marvel inside Google and so many highly talented people working inside Google that I felt sorry that these marvel never gets to see the light of day and efforts by these folks ultimately wasted by inept management and terrible marketing.

Years ago Google was the coolest place to work at because of the tech and the people, and Google did so many things that everyone could find the most interesting thing to them. Nowadays the list of cool companies is a lot longer and more diversified. And switching companies is a bit more friction than switching teams. I sometimes wonder if more cool tech could emerge faster if there was a new Big Tech with old Google values, with better management and a new coolness.
It's my own company and I work hard on both Meilisearch, the keyword search part since 2018 and the soon-to-be-released semantic search part. The hybrid search will be also part of the v1.6 release in january. I took time to write those three blog posts.

What do you think about the blog posts content?

Well, it does not make sense because : 1- I know the baseline of interactions I get usually 2- it's not something that happened to my account specifically, it's everybody, including community managers, for whom posting content is a monetizable skill, who resort to obfuscation when they use the word "Palestine".
What’s this? Care to share your sources?
that is why the word art is in the title. regardless, it gives you a good feel for how many engineers actually design stuff in the industry. the problem spaces aren't fully constrained, so you have to fill in the gaps with experience, guesswork, experimentation, and (yes) art.

It appears as though, for the keyboard shortcuts, they are matching on the "key", as in the actual letter, instead of the "code", which is more accurate regarding the actual position of the key.

Just a minor annoyance for alternative keyboard layout users. Cool game, though!

Do LLMs converge upon the same answer when asked the same question multiple times?

If they do not converge, are any of the replies true?

That looks nice, but appears to only handle SI.
Great read. As a past adjunct, you can learn this through your students. No question is a dumb question. I eventually got to a point where I couldn't wait for the "dumbest" question of the session so that we could explore it as a class.

You make some good points. How about improving the conditions for fire? The friction may not be enough to ignite, but it could be enough to increase the dryness both through friction and mechanically brushing away water. By stripping small bits of bark surrounding the area around the contact point it could create an area that would be more predisposed. Although upon reflection I think the fire hypothesis is remote. Although, I could see it causing enough damage over time to restrict the victim tree's growth on that branch, or even killing the branch outright due to damage or disease caused by the injury. If the aggressive tree had adaptations that reduced its susceptibility to disease it could be a net win.

They are, and yet there aren't enough procurement humans at MS to fill their demand, I believe one of the "moats" they may have is securing years of fab tape-out of GPUs/TPUs.

This basically guarantees their place of supremacy because of the ability to have an asymmetric availability of hardware... choking their competitors as sole miners of the "spice".

Why is that a criteria? Most setbacks aren't really something the person can control (Although, in Napoleon's case, he probably could have).

Also, failure is going to happen in life. You just need to accept it.

Explaining that line, "Bayesians moving from defense to offense"
The irony is you are posting this on an article about Bach. For about 200 years if people said Bach they meant C.P.E., not J.S. It wasn't until Mendelssohn performed the St. Matthew Passion that people began to reevaluate their attitudes and Bach assumed the place in the pantheon of composers.

How we evaluate music is deeply subjective. The complex harmonic and counterpunctal vocabulary of the Baroque was passe by the time Bach died, replaced by the simplicity of the Classical period. And then romanticism kept the harmony, but created sweeping emotion rather than deep craft. Then look at jazz where the relationships of chords are entirely changed. So yes, there are works that people overlook and reevaluate.

In my experience the time this saves is generally outweighed by the effort of setting it up and the many hours lost when it goes wrong and you don't think to try a clean build. It's certainly better than ccache in that regard but you really need something like Bazel if you're going to be aggressively caching C++ builds like this (or impure Rust builds).

(And if you're using Bazel or one of its brethren then they generally have native remote caching and execution support.)
