That's fair, it would seem you stepped into a trap that I myself have stepped into many times which is to be clear in your own mind what you're saying without first considering the context of the reader.

As was pointed out elsewhere, being rhetorical depends on context. And in this case the context is "What is the general belief system of the readers." What I think happened here was that your context was actually the inverse of what I would expect a reader to be thinking here (given your questions). As this population is heavily 'startup' and 'make a big dent' oriented, if you had said "I find it incongruous that someone who contributed something so fundamental wasn't nearly as well rewarded financially as others who came after and used their contribution."

I think that point of view would gather a lot of support here as the community abounds in examples; my favorite being Gruber inventing markdown to make blog writing easier and people like Github turning it into a key feature of there service offering.

This is because this community is acutely aware of the mismatch between effort invested and the relatively randomness of the financial rewards. That is also why a common dismissive comment to a submission touting the big raise of some startup with "I just don't get it, I could write that product in a weekend" (or some variation on that theme). It's the idea that 'fairness' involves reward commensurate with impact.

As a result of this, your comment hit exactly the opposite tone, which is to say that I read it (and I'm guessing others did as well) that you were implying that somehow Bob Kahn had been "ripped off" or otherwise harmed unjustly because his contribution was not as well rewarded as far as its impact (which was large) went.

My restatement was an attempt on my part to reflect back to you the way your comment sounded; I did this using an even more extreme example of the separation between the invention of something, and the economic exploitation of that something.

It probably wasn't the nicest way to do that, for that I apologize.

I find that communication, especially written communication without all the cues that come from things like body language and facial expressions, is really hard to do well. I also find that different communities have completely different customs, for example a comment that might get upvoted here could get mercilessly down voted on Reddit. Or a tweet that might get likes goes no where in a different forum. It's tough to do humor and rhetorical questions here, there is an extremely fine line between it being okay and it being down voted into oblivion.

MIDI is galvanically isolated, USB is galvanically connected so you can have groundloops if you use USB but not if you use MIDI.
Water under your house is hard to use as a backup water supply. You would need a pump to use it in the house when your utility water had no (or low) pressure, and you'd want to bypass the pump in normal operations, etc: mechanically complex. It might be easier to have the water tank above the house, but only if your structure can manage the extra weight, and you need to be well prepped for leaks. And yeah, microorganisms.
Country-Wise Living Standards for an Amazon SDE 2
I calculated the living expenses and savings ratio for every country that has an Amazon SDE 2 role on levels.fyi.

For instance, for food I used the Big Mac Index, and got data from various sources on the Internet.

I did some spot checking of minimum wage employees, the trend seems to apply to them too, although I haven't checked in more detail.

Missing Metrics:
- Cost Of Education
- Healthcare
- Ease Of Switching Jobs

All three of these metrics are complicated to measure due to the different preferences that people have.

nabla9 said "one Grace Hopper" not "one GH200 pod".

Actually, DGX GH200 seem to come in different sizes, something that I can't find clearly stated on Nvidia's website, but what I do see are entirely inconsistent specs. I'm thinking they've changed it a few times.

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/announcing-nvidia-dgx-gh20... describes the DGX GH200 as:

-256 NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips (1 CPU + 1 GPU)

-each Grace CPU has 480 GB LPDDR5 CPU memory

-each H100 GPU has 96 GB of HBM3

-each GPU can access all of the CPU and GPU memory in the whole system (144TB), at 900 GBps

At https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-gh200/ (linked to from the DGX page from the website) which has a Datasheet pdf they say the DGX GH200 has:

-32 NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips (1 CPU + 1 GPU)

-each Grace CPU has 72 "ARM Neoverse V2 Cores with SVE2 4X 128"

-each GPU can access "19.5TB" shared memory

-that's 624GB per superchip, which is weird. I expect it's actually 96GiB HBM3 + 512GiB LPDDR, a total of 19456GiB = 19.0TiB

And other people have found completely different specs elsewhere on the website!
Warning about pvc is good - I feel like sterner caution about leather might be warranted - e.g. veg tan leather is fine (if stinky) but most leather you see is gonna be chrome tanned and lasering it will blast heavy metal vapour / toxic dust into the air and contaminate your enclosure.

IMHO if you are a beginner you should be very careful about cutting any material that hasn't been explicitly designed to be laser safe.

I don’t see how it’s anticompetitive. It’s not like Microsoft or Google make it harder to use Slack or Zoom.

In fact, Google makes it really easy to integrate Zoom into Google calendar, and Microsoft has slack integrations for all their products. One can even argue that the office experience in slack is better than in Teams.

That’s very pro-competition IMO.

it is accepted by the UN because there is no other figure. they have no other way of estimating, also the UN is far from a neutral element in this conflict

The UN is a political body composed of the political interests of its members, which are mostly authoritarian states, and it hasn’t shown much support for Israel due to the vast membership of Islamic countries. Parody case in point, Iran being Human Rights commission seat

UNRWA, the UN agency on the ground was shown again and again to be in the very least in the mercy of Hamas therefore cooperative, at most its infrastructure and staff was used by the organizations for attacks against Israel and to hold hostages.

The ICJ in this case heavily quoted UNRWA as a source while it is an extremely problematic one.

The hospital bombing I quoted above is an example case where many experts tried to estimate casualties based on evidence, they arrived to figures that range from tenth to fifth of what Hamas published.

This together with the fact they control the casualty figure and have a clear interest at inflating it in order to stop Israel from attacking, is pretty obvious to me what’s going on.

Leaving the fact that this figure also includes Hamas members, and therefore is useless at estimating if there is excessive collateral damage

Meh, this is so obviously shortsighted to me that I find it hard to watch. Reminiscent of Pope Pius X's rejection of the automobile, post invention. The current state of GAI's are clearly echo chambers of the world we've created. It was a very foggy mirror, but now it's a much more clear mirror.

While we're lazily prophesising and spewing metaphysics from our armchairs, I guess I'd venture to say that the true creativity will come with the right closed loop model, realtime sensing and effectors, sufficiently complex memory structure and value assessment, and long term (global) objective assignments and reward structure.
Hey, I've been on a similar spree!

It all started when I asked myself why I still suck at guitar and piano, despite a decade of on and off playing.

On piano, jumping between keys/modes is non-trivial, unless you have an extensive amount of practice building memory and muscle memory. And guitar...guitar is just so much work to play, even with years of practice. In both cases, the result is that your playing is biased due to memory and finger-strength constraints.

I've realized now that both piano and guitar are (very) unnecessarily difficult. It only took me 15 years of failure to realize it. What's really odd is that I look around and see very few people also realizing this. Instead I see many people struggling to play their instruments, especially on guitar with people generally sticking to 3-chord songs.

I ended up getting a Linnstrument. Best decision I've ever made. I feel limitless now, musically. The device is high quality, has lots of buttons (I got the larger version), and is fully programmable (it uses an Arduino). It may seem pricy, but you're dealing with something one-of-a-kind here, totally worth it.

The feature that sold me is that you can choose what scale you want to be in, and it will light up only those notes in the scale. This works out of the box, but if you're willing to do some C programming, you can extend it however you want. (I programmed mine to use a different color for each note.) From what I've seen, both piano and guitar communities tend to be snobs about lighting up scale notes: "lights are for children", "lights are a crutch, learn the scales without them". These people are ignorant. I've gone from 0 to 100 very quickly due to being able to light up scales. I also drive with a GPS.

Exquis looks pretty awesome, too!
Seconded (sort of). I setup my 85 year old mom with a desktop and Pop OS, and my support headaches disappeared.

Then that dude from Microsoft comes out on HN and says they don’t even care to improve it/can’t improve it because of project manager career aspirations. Makes total sense. I guess they’re gonna profit from Teams or some shit instead of windows.

I suspect it’s just a matter of time before they just rebase on top of Linux. Never thought it’d see that.
I’ve seen Raycast adjacent apps for Linux, but I don’t know what the current go-to all the kids are using these days. I used Quicksilver on OS X back in the day, which kind of defined the category I think. But these days I try to keep it simple.

Elementary OS seems to be trying to solve for the design issue, but it’s not as polished as macOS and there are still all the 3rd party apps to contend with. I’ve tried it, and it didn’t have me considering a full time switch.

https://elementary.io/

For me, one of the big things keeping me on macOS is the sync between devices. 20 years ago it seemed much easier to move to Linux, because I didn’t have to worry about my contacts, calendar, etc being in sync everywhere. Having all that stuff, and the handoff between devices, just work is a huge benefit. There are probably ways to sync various things between iOS and Linux, but then researching all the options, setting it up, and keeping up on it all, becomes a hobby. That’s not a hobby I want at this stage of my life.

So something that I just can't get past with laser cutting things is the smell. You cut e.g. a Christmas bauble and it stinks of pungent burnt wood ~forever. If there is a laser-cut bit of wood there, it's the first thing you smell as you walk in the room

You could also:

incentivize e-mopeds and ebikes, both of which have far lower energy use than a car ever will.

incentivize trains and buses, both of which have far lower energy use as long as they're even slightly filled (a 15-ton bus with only 7 passengers will still have better energy-efficiency than a 2-ton car).

The latter might require building out more public transport in the first place, though.

idk what a semester survey course would accomplish. We went decades with prefetch chasms before the smartest people in the room got a clue. There are so many holes, it would just be better to teach some general best practices.

I've looked and not seen numbers on the actual battery capacity. But I think it's about 3-4 hours at name plate power levels. I think from what I know capacity is a function of discharge rate. And wear is also a function of discharge rate and max/min charge levels.

Calling cloud computing "the new mainframe" is a bit of an understatement. One of the design goals of Multics was to establish computation as a sort of public utility, just like water or sewer or electric services; cloud providers seem to be filling that exact role, and I feel like it's only a matter of time before municipalities start establishing their own local cloud providers as public utilities.
> everyone who's actually used it

I have four of them at work. I have thousands of hours on them. They’re amazing.
What if we looked at all of the cloud providers APIs, which may or may not be similar to one another, may be in constant flux, and may have undocumented quirks, and hid all that complexity inside of one black box that provided a single clear API. The guts of that black box might be kinda ugly, and might need at lot of constant updating, but for a lot of users (including me), that is more appealing dealing with all the raw complexity of the various cloud providers "offical" APIs.
You're absolutely right, I can tell whether a laser cut part is present though ~forever seems to be 'a couple of months'. Eventually the smell fades. I'm particularly sensitive to fire smell (we all are but I have my reasons for being a bit more paranoid than most) so this was a real problem initially for me.

To remedy you can oversize the part a bit and then sand off the burned edge, you can lacquer or paint it to stop the carbonized wood from escaping (though adherence of lacquer and paint is poor on the burned edge) and you can (lightly) sandblast the pieces.

Edit: I've added this to the article in the 'wood' section.

I think there is a big difference now, and that’s Electron apps. Love it hate it, Electron has brought a lot of commercial applications to Linux that would have otherwise never seen a native release.

Can you share a link? Very curious to read.
You won't find much on HN because historically MsSQL was windows-server only and that's a tiny fraction of small / start-up services using it. It's really common for windows-only shops. Almost any language can talk to it. And definitely any that supports odbc.
It doesn’t seem that hard. Just calculate the number of end users served by transmission lines and divide the costs accordingly. Don’t even need to factor in risk. This would make denser areas less costly on a per home basis, which is exactly what you want to encourage, and in CA would also generally translate to risk as well.
Mr. Stoll I believe eventually spent some time listening to the community, but for a while he had some contradictory views along the lines of the white, black, grey hat or perhaps what we would now call red team. For comparison here is a video from 1989 with a lot of risk management type language from the US government that seems boring and perfectly normal today https://www.c-span.org/video/?7596-1/computer-viruses
The wind down period is a bit complicated so it's worth pointing it out.

If you're already on the ACP, you will continue to receive the benefit until the funds run out, which is probably April unless Congress adds more funds which may not happen.

If you're not already on the ACP, you still have a chance to enroll. You can send in an application until Feb 7, 11:59 pm ET, and if approved, you will have the opportunity to sign up with your local ISP. After completing both steps, you will then receive the benefit until April as said before.
Your list of people you admire is going to be pretty damn short if the criteria is “never espoused something horrible”.

And I wonder if people who have a record of your life will look back in 2023 and condemn the views you held?

To install Windows with only a local account, you have to disable Internet access (unplug cable or disable WiFi), then that option magically appears. Once done, reactivate access and continue. For most other cruft like games and such there exists a intimidating command line one-liner which gets rid of it.
I expect the answer is some combination of economy of scale (they sell lots more cars than walls) and subsidies....
You're buying PG&E's lies.

Hydro Quebec serves a far, far tinier population than California, and has equal fire hazard, if not more, and far more untamed nature than California. Yet Hydro Quebec doesn't have PG&E's issues, and delivers the least expensive power in North America.

There are reasons for the lower costs, but my point is, they maintain their lines. They cut back brush. They deal with encroachment. The problem is PG&E does not perform the maintenance they need to.

All complaints by PG&E "oh, that's so hard to do, poor us!" is just wavy hand stuff, lies, and bull.

From what I've read, they just see trimming back brush and trees as "cost", and barely do it as a cost saving measure. Don't buy their bull! The problem is 100% them. Other power suppliers do not have this problem!
