Thank you for yours as well. It's an interesting discussion.

As another commenter pointed out, it all depends on the electricity source regarding the carbon life cycle. I posted another comment with the best detailed analysis for my current environment I could come up with and it's clear to me that the result doesn't warrant a definitive positive outcome for the heat pump.

With a low CO2 emission electricity source, I would agree that a heat pump system can make a lot of sense if your goal is to reduce emissions.

> I think monetary costs are just taken for granted if you do not see burning fossil fuels as the only solution.

That sounds like a rich people's perspective. What if you don't have the money? If it's really about transitioning the heating of all homes away from carbon emitting sources, then this will only work if the solution is cheap, because not everyone is wealthy enough to afford the transition.

If you implement policies that force people to upgrade, as was done in Germany, you will only transfer even more wealth from poor people to rich people. And I would argue that this also reduces the overall wealth in the system substantially since energy is an input to any product or service. At some point that leads to serious social and political issues as can be seen in Germany right now. This puts the whole enterprise of transitioning at danger once people demand radical political change.
Piracy promotes a platform - if there is one company that understands that thoroughly, that's Microsoft.

Hence, I doubt they employed people to promote piracy on the PS2.

One can imagine how bad things must be behind the scenes if with that level of protectionism and political security deals backing the planes are grounded constantly. In working capitalism it's not the csuits that decide to make a great product, it's the competitive situation that forces everyones hand. Imagine Boeing as a ussr state owned conglomerate, who's directors try to game the metrics of the boss for a promotion. And we all know how that journey ended.

I wondered about Drew's "antagonism" last year when he claimed that Google was DDoS'ing Sourcehut, which is why sr.ht blacklisted the Go module mirror; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34310674 .

I concluded he was right after I read about ongoing problems with the GMP project, at https://gmplib.org/ : "The GMP servers has been under serious load due to a barrage of clone requests from Microsoft/Github. ... In effect, Microsoft's computer cloud performed a DDoS attack on the GMP servers. ... Our servers are fully available again, but that's the result of us adding all participating Microsoft network ranges to our firewall. We understand that we are far from the first project to take such measures against Github."

Also, you can't build projects like Sourcehut by being only an antagonist, and I can think of some pretty antagonistic CEOs of billion dollar companies.
> Knowning when to apply honesty is also important.

> If you tell an ex you left them because they are (fat?), is it honest or is it cruel ?

It's cruel, just like it's cruel to lie to someone they are being fired due to "performance" when the real reason is just a blanket layoff scheme over a whole department.

What would be more cruel: a lie "you are not performing so we are letting you go" vs the truth "the company has decided to layoff some business units we don't believe will be profitable in the foreseeable future".

I believe it's a pretty good case for applying honesty instead of being another lying corporation.
"I think a solid 50% of people in tech are still on the chopping block. You can do much more with tools + really smart people in the year 2024 than you could before."

Absolutely not. So much more red tape now rquires a ton more headcount. Just think how much time we spend these days to fix dependency hells and patching security issues.

Very different. They can do that, because they are in control of the components and build process. That's much harder for someone else's deliverables.
The set of people who pass the hiring bar at companies like Google are not modelled as the normal distribution of the average person you come across in the grocery store.

Companies like Google are not known for hiring morons.

It is a self-aggrandizing dumb comparison, and should be dismissed as such. It reads as a desperate attempt to rationalize away these layoffs as something that only applies to others.
Unless you run it yourself you don't know. They could run a modified version ect. You can't know and at some level you have to trust that they do what they say.
Here, the local car sharing service had two plans. The first was pick and and drop off wherever you want cars, the second pick up and return cars. The former were electric, the latter gas powered.

The electric cars were never powered up. Even when parked beside a charger, people simply wouldn't plug them in. When they did, the cars would charge for lengthy periods of time, and hence be unavailable. Gas won.

Despite eletric being half the cost, and more covenient as a one way option, people chose to willingly pay more, and use gas.

Today, the same system is gas only. Electric isn't suitable for this use case.
So it's just manual replication. Maybe just use async replication in the first place.

> I can understand someone not having an inner voice, but I can’t see how writing is possible without inner speech. Otherwise, how can you have thoughts prior to writing them down?

The conscious experience of inner voice/speece/eye/nose/whatever is not really saying something about how the rest of the brain functions. Almost everything anyone does is indeed not projected in inner mind before being executed. The subjective experience is a post-hoc narrative of what the mind did, not really a part of the planning process itself. Think about running in a dense forest for example. There's no way to plan with inner mind where to direct your eye muscles first and then having received the visual input, plan with inner mind where to put your feet on the ground to not trip on a rock or root.
I can totally relate. This is painfully close to my experience (including the junior backstabbing to save their jobs and management not wanting to fix anything).

I can't say if this is common in the industry but it's certainly the most depressing situation to be in. I didn't see a way out of this that wasn't quitting. Changing the culture when people below and above you can't even realize they are drowning in their own mistakes seems like an impossible situation.
Wow, these questions are really interesting, I've never thought about it!

For my favorite songs, I can recall it perfectly... But I don't hear it at all as if I was hearing it in real life. In fact, I don't know how to describe how vivid it is. Maybe I don't hear it at all? But I can sing these songs (out loud) without a problem.

However, I seem to be incapable of changing some elements about it. I can't seem to be able to make it faster, slower, change the singer, or the instruments. But, when I sing it out loud, I can of course modify it.

For "Happy birthday" (well, in my native language), it's really weird. Because I don't have a specific song in mind, I can follow the words, the tune, but I don't "feel" the voice of a specific singer. And I'm incapable to change this recall to different voices, like children or grown men. But if I listen to a version sung by these people, I can recall it after (until I forget).

Thanks again for these questions, I was aware of my lack of inner voice, my difficulties of a "inner sight" (that's a whole other can of worms), but I never applied this interrogations to a "inner hearing".
Unfortunately, too many. If you turn on dead comments on HN, you'll find that sentiment pretty quickly on many posts from transgender people. And unfortunately some of those commenters are problematic enough, that they organise their own social circles of hate.

We can't tell one way or another from outside in this case, but don't discount this as too unlikely.
And this is why he (and I) thinks you didn't read. It's mentioned on the first paragraphs too.
> This does seem like more of a political play

Agreed. That's why I added "At least that's what the EU says."

The EU is clearly whining because the Chinese local market imploded, so they are now exporting more of their cars into the EU markets.

Yet, articles like the linked one make it unclear to me what part of EV production is really subsidized and what part is not. I think it would be advisable to be cautious about claims that they are already cheaper than ICE cars. At least, that's how I am looking at it currently.
And tehy didn't cite him. It's a travesty.
Interesting, thank you. I've found some subreddits while trying to undrestand this and it's amazing what some people experience and how different it is for everyone.

There is a person on r/hyperphantasia who says that they can look at a ruler, take that image and overlay it on something else to measure. Wild.
I genuinely believe the experience would be better if Chat GPT was answering. At least if it said "I don't know why you got terminated" it would be absolutely honest.

As a side note, I believe that LGLv3 says that you have to provide instructions about how to do it, but with LGPLv2 is just has to be technically possible if you have access to the binary.
It maybe be irrational, but the absolute arrogance of the author is off-putting and makes me reluctant to use any of his creations (which may be great I don't deny). I may have developed a heuristic that tells me to be very suspicious of people that are so sure and full of themselves as to become dangerous because they can be spectacularly wrong. It may have stemmed from the pandemic...

So, sure, you are smart and clever, but no.

> Primarily though, most completely deaf people think in sign language. Similar to how an “inner voice” of a hearing person is experienced in one's own voice, a completely deaf person sees or, more aptly, feels themselves signing in their head as they “talk” in their heads.

The question is: is inner voice just some sort of echo or a necessary part of thought.
Yes just one. Adding more latent factors seems to make little difference. A single factor seems to explain most of the polarization among users.

I have run it with multiple dimensions and plotted the results. They are fascinating, even if they don't necessarily improve the algorithm. See the 3D plot in my article on Improving Bridge Based Ranking, the section "3D And Higher-Dimensional Matrix Factorization:

> there are technical barriers (code signing, DRM) that get in the way of an end user being able to exercise their right to replace LGPL components with modified versions

I wonder if that is an issue for LGPLv2. Pretty sure that for LGPLv3, the distributor would have to give instructions explaining how to do it (which they could not do), but LGPLv2 does not require that, right?

As in, wouldn't code signing and DRM count as some kind of tivoization?
I'm suspecting it could be similar to the learned vs. predefined positional embeddings in GPTs. That is, the learned version is a "warped and distorted" version of the exact predefined pattern, and yet somehow it performs a bit better, and no one knows exactly why.
Six, at least. Also at least one of the answers the five people swear they use will turn out to be either Undefined Behaviour or a quirk of one particular compiler/ toolchain.

Like sure, volatile integers are basically just atomic variables with easier syntax... if you are on x86-64 and using MSVC. Otherwise no they really aren't.

Is the Reproducibility Crisis Reproducible?
When I return a gas powered hire car, I'm required to return it with the same amount of fuel as I picked it up with. I sign a contract that states I'll be charged a higher-than-pump price to top up the car if I breach this requirement.

Does the same (or an equivalent, eg: Plug it in to charge upon return) requirement not apply to electric cars?
This is just the start!

> DEI is a racist agenda that endangers us all.

The argument so far has shown how fallacious and unsubstantiated this claim is. The irony in this case is that the exact opposite applies.

> It should be discarded for a merit based approach that ignores race, religion etc.

This so called 'merit' is a distraction meant to hide 'privilege'. There is no merit unless privilege gap is addressed first. If you think DEI hiring counts as privilege, then you haven't seen or recognized systematic discrimination, racist mistreatment and outright kakistocracy. It's like a trained and well-armed soldier asking a farmer for a fair duel over who gets to keep the harvests- there is nothing fair about it.

My original reply had nothing do with race, but you managed to drag it into it for no good reason. The only reason I responded is because I didn't want to lend credence to such crude ideas with my silence. Unless you have any reasonable evidence to suggest that DEI hires are in any way responsible for these mishaps, I'm going to assume that have nothing more to say other than a one-sided diatribe against the challenge to your privileges.
Very cool!

When designing psst, I considered implementing it as a self-contained website. The advantages would be (1) ease of use, and (2) more features.

In contrast, psst is a simpler design, so simple that the entire system fits on two pages of paper. I never quite managed to make a self-contained website that was small enough to understand/print/etc. Thus, psst is targeted towards people who want a system that they can fully understand and verify, whereas s4 is easier to use.

I was also worried that people might end up with enough shares, but no possibility to reconstruct them. With psst, shares are fully self-contained. A user with two shares has all they need to obtain the secret, plus typically some context that tells them what to do with the secret. With s4, this is a bit more tricky: imagine your heirs finding some papers with s4 shares; they would have to find the s4 website first. Maybe your domain name has since expired and they need to dig a copy out of archive.org...

Have you thought about ways to solve this? For example, it would be nice if s4 could generate zip files containing a share, and all the files needed to run the s4 decoder. (Assuming that zip, JavaScript, and WebAssembly are still easily usable in 2044.)

In Chinese, if you just put 'big' and 'small' together, you get 'size', and if you just put 'big' and 'not big' together, it means 'Is it big?'. By the same token, juxtaposed memories are questions or suggestions. I think it's the logic before logic.

Nah, it’s going to accelerate capitalism - concentration of wealth and power.

As soon as companies can keep their fat revenues and profits with fewer staff, they will choose that.

I’m willing to bet Google will never grow to 2X the staff they have but they will 2X the revenue with marginal increases to average compensation.
My go to example of this: jQuery. Now for JS it’s primarily React, but the nosedive, or rather nosebleed, started with jQuery.

There is also the other point of view, that every other human that is not you IS an NPC, we can only prove that we exist, and even then that is muddy, for all we know everyone else is just a figment of our imagination, we can neither affirm nor deny it, so it is not wrong that since the only one that you can affirm to some extent is a player character is yourself, to call everyone else an NPC, as you have no way to prove they are not an NPC, you can't see what they think, you can only assume that like you, they think and they are.

This is exactly how I would describe it, as someone without much of an inner eye or an inner voice.

I can have an inner voice. I use it to practice how things sound in my head, or if I want to be very specific about wording, or when trying to parse some complex text, or to work out a sum. That’s how I know that most of the time I don’t use an inner voice to think.

Most of the time it’s like I have thoughts without words, and turning it into words must be handled by some unconscious part of my brain, because it’s automatic and silent.
Same here.

This video was interesting to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNQyubd9ARc&t=60s in it you are asked to shout "I like crickets" <In your mind> and then to whisper "I like crickets" again, in your mind and not out loud.

The presenter then claims, "The volume is the same because you can't change the volume of the voice in your head, only the tone and pitch."

My experience of trying this is that I can produce the phrase "I like crickets" in my mind but I have no conception of what it means to "shout" or "whisper" this in my mind and the idea that there is tone or pitch to the representation is meaningless to me.

I can think in words so that I can prepare to write something (like this) but there is no audio. I'd say it's more like a stream of words on a screen except that there is no screen, it feels more like a buffer. The experience is the same as reading to me, no audio, just a stream of words.

My partner says she hears her own voice in her head and it's quite critical, prompting her to action. I feel motivation to do things but there is no voice.

Can someone report on their experience with the crickets experiment above, do you hear a voice, can you change its volume or tone?
I have evidence to support this - I lost people from my team who were offered "senior" or "lead" developer roles when they were nowhere near the level required for that kind of job. The level they were at was already a a stretch that they were growing into.

...and with a salary boost to match.

Now in the UK salaries have flatlined and the number of jobs is way down, and this no longer seems to be a problem.

It does. When you have nothing big to inovate to most products, you need to tell a story to keep the attention of the customers. This is where 4.1 comes into the picture.

When 4.1 changes the direction into politics, you start doing it internally. That leads to the next points.
