My small experience owning old "reliable" cars is that they still have more issues than something new-ish. Maybe they were designed and built tougher back then, but parts still have lifespans. Fuel economy might be worse too. 20 years is already old enough that it'd be more for fun than practicality to me.

It really is painful that out of the chromium browsers I'd choose Edge in an instant if they just would remove or allow me to remove the bloatware they ship with. I currently use Brave, which thankfully lets me disable all the crypto nonsense they ship with. I could see myself using Arc if they end up releasing a Linux/Windows port.

> why they can’t see NC-17 movies

The first amendment is a restriction on Congress, and does not apply to the private Motion Picture Association that maintains the film rating system.

> why they can have speech abridged

I don't think that's true of federal law. There are cases, such as in school, where more restrictions are permitted to the school. But those restrictions are not based on age.
The entire model of startups taking on lots of VC funding, burning it over a few years to acquire customers and then having a big exit, all without bothering with a business plan or making a single dollar in profit, is basically over.

The reason VC funding is drying up, big unicorns aren't going public and acquisitions are halted is that investors are actually starting to drill into the numbers now, and finding nothing but hot air.
Why does the press imagine itself to be some sort of immune system for the country or maybe an afferent nerve network? That is to say, something essential for function?

It's degenerating irreversibly to be some vestigal structure which serves no purpose. Yet still demands nutrients to support itself.

Can't the press just be useful to modern society and ensure it's own future existence? Instead "the news" constantly demands special treatment. As if the existence of a downward trend isn't their own fault for sucking relative to all other attention sinks.

> pay attention to me and give me money because its good for you

what kind of argument is that?
Other eyetracking software solves this and all related problems by simply showing you a pip of some sort where it senses you "looking". It's stupidly intuitive, low intrusiveness (and can go away when it senses you don't need to "look" at anything like when you are looking at a movie screen with no controls on it) and works just fine. Only Apple decides the solution to their broken UI is to break more of the UI.
I think it's even more complicated than that. If you compare salaries for physicians (doctors) or lawyers there will be a huge gap as well. Even though there is no VC-funding, economy of scale or monopolies to speak of.

On the supply side of high salaries I think the economy of scale actually have some impact by creating a higher "floor". For example I would almost wager that every European country have their own Salesforce company (non-SAP web based CRM from early/mid 00's), but the e.g Latvian alternative never broke out to the wider EU. Whilst Salesforce conquered US and then the globe. This puts upward pressure on the virtual monopolists / VC-fueled companies that don't really exist outside the US. Imagine if almost every single B2B software company in the US spent their first 5 years only operating within a single state, and many never expanding outside.

But I think the "demand side" is even more important. Most European countries have lower take-home salaries for large parts of the salary spectra, definitely the top quartile. The reason for that are also numerous. But we generally have high taxes on an individual level, high payroll taxes, high VAT etc. In exchange for that we have large welfare states with larger redistributions both across individuals and across time for the same individual (paid parental leave, pension etc).
The beauty of synthesizers like this (and especially modular synth setups) is everything is ephemeral. It's like a sand mandala.

Remember how MS wasn’t doing all this shit 5-10 years ago?

It was thanks to the EU regulations on MS. Now that the limits on that had ended MS is sinking to new lows.

So next time an Appleoid tells you how the horrible EU is destroying innovation by asking Apple to use the USB-C connector on its phone that it does on every other device in its lineup, remember MS. (also the fact that if it wasn’t for anti trust actions against MS by the U.S. and the EU Apple almost certainly wouldn’t exist).
I can somewhat see your point, but in my experience you can't rely on RHEL or whatever vendor Linux to correctly bring up random OEM hardware. You will slowly discover all of the quirks, like it didn't initialize the platform EDAC the way you expected, or it didn't resolve some weird IRQ issue, etc. Nothing about my experience leads me to believe Linux will JFW on a given box, so I don't feel like Linux has an advantage in this regard, or that niche operating systems have a disadvantage. Certainly I feel like a first-party OS from the hardware vendor is going to have a lot of advantages.
What does Edge do, what Firefox or Chrome for that matter, cant do? In my experience there is little to no changes bysides the added microsoft bloat.

Yeah, well that's just like, your opinion, man.
It’s not necessarily about “elite racing performance” for a lot of people. Carbon fiber frames dampen road vibrations a lot better than aluminum and are noticeably less “harsh” to ride. For road bikes which typically don’t have any shock absorbers, a decent quality carbon frame is simply much more comfortable to ride on than the equivalent aluminum frame from the same manufacturer. This can make a huge difference on longer rides.

Carbon fiber isn’t as fragile as the article suggests. People have been riding it for decades and their bikes haven’t been exploding. Really any crash significant enough to cause frame damage will be a total loss to any bike frame, regardless of material (in terms of repair cost).

No one “needs” a carbon bike but to say there’s “no good reason to buy one” is just dumb.

Also the article suggesting steel frames over carbon is just weird at this point. Steel bikes are a super niche audience of budget or retro riders. I’m wondering if this article is a joke post.
You don't need to prosecute any buyers at all though. All you need to do is make it illegal to sell in shops, and illegal to import. There will be a black market, sure, but how many people are going to go through the trouble and expense to source black market tobacco? Not that many.

Show HN: Shiny Express – Reactive web framework for data science in Python
Shiny is an open source web framework for data scientists to create interactive web applications, using Python or R. Shiny for R has been around since 2012, Shiny for Python since 2022.

Today, we're releasing Shiny Express, a new syntax for writing Shiny for Python apps that is dramatically simpler and more concise. You can write full-stack interactive applications that manipulate and visualize your data in realtime, using a syntax that is highly reminiscent of writing a regular Python script.
> we got to the point that people can create software that "works" but they cannot fully grasp why exactly it works.

It seems to me that this is the real problem. The difference between a sub-par programmer and a competent one is that the latter can create code that they understand and can therefore more easily debug. Being able to create code that "works", but you then have to spend hours/days trying to grok in order to debug it, seems to me to be more harmful than productive.
No I definitely agree. I'm a little skeptical of how they'll enforce this but ultimately I think less kids on the internet and social media will be a positive and I agree that it doesn't seem like parents have managed to figure out how to address this.

> so they can create "virtual" racks to dogfood the product without full blown physical racks.

So one of the reasons why Rust is such an advantage for us is its strong cross-platform support: you can run a simulated version of the control plane on Mac, Linux, and Illumos, without a physical rack. The non-simulated version must run on Helios. [1]

That said we do have a rack in the office (literally named dogfood) that employees can use for various things if they wish.

> Interestingly, students using ChatGPT synthesized a number of ideas having no effect at all on the primary problem—littering of the grass by the fragments. Examining these ideas in detail shows these ideas were related to “educating shooters about the environmental impact” and “educating shooters about gun safety.” These ideas can be explained when one analyzes the response from ChatGPT when given the problem statement as the prompt. ChatGPT is trained from articles and other content available on the Internet. Because the problem statement involves guns and shooting, ChatGPT responded with suggestions to educate shooters about gun safety because on the Internet, when one sees a document about guns and shooting, it is very likely to also include comments about safety. Even though the concepts of guns and safety are understandably related, the safety issue has nothing to do with solving the problem given in the problem statement—littering the grass field. ChatGPT however does not perform such in-depth analysis to realize this. ChatGPT’s responses are driven by word association. Likewise, because the problem statement mentions littering and damaging grass, ChatGPT finds associations with environmental issues important and therefore responded to students suggesting education about the environment since this is found in millions of pages on the Internet when litter and harming grass is mentioned. While one could argue you might be able to talk a shooter out of shooting after they understand the harm to the grass, this is not likely to change the mind of the vast majority of shooters, so is not a practical solution. Interestingly, in this case, using of ChatGPT actually distracted students by misleading them to consider things having nothing to do with the problem. Therefore, one could argue using ChatGPT actually decreased cognitive ability—resulting in negative cognitive augmentation.

I disagree with the interpretation here: this isn't an error of 'word association', this is just the RLHF at work. That drives the model to lecture and manipulate the user even when that's not useful for the user. It knows perfectly well, in some sense, that the lectures are irrelevant to the goal; but it's been trained to not care.
The great thing about gguf is that it will cross to system RAM if there isn't enough VRAM. It will be slower, but waiting a couple minutes for a prompt response isn't the worst thing if you are the type that would get use out of a local 70b parameter model. Then again, one could have grabbed 2x 3090s for the price of a 4090 and ended up with 48gb of VRAM in exchange for a very tolerable performance hit.
It would be nice if the market worked that way and every coin helped each other out as a "crypto team" to beat out fiat together, but the reality is BTC holders are probably going to be spooked and not give you much BTC for your USDT.

And then everyone gets spooked of crypto as a whole and sells for fiat.

Basically whenever "shit" happens all of crypto goes down.

1. You can do the same thing in VR. Many VR apps are online and multiuser with voice

2. VR’s higher immersion makes #1 more appealing. I regularly play ping pong with relatives who live thousands of miles away. Mini golf and bowling are also popular options. The immersion also makes it easier to interact with multiple people at the same time compared to a phone.

3. We’re already transitioning to mixed reality

You really need to at least try a modern VR headset for yourself before coming to a strong conclusion.
My description that “Cancer my well be parasites reaching various stages of killing the host” wasn’t great.

> They are your own cells, just with various mutations.

Could parasite eggs lodged deep inside tissue for a long time (a fusion or sorts) not produce similar results? Have any studies along those lines been done?

EDIT: Could the chemical signal they excrete to keep the eggs dormant or the chemicals they excrete at time of death cause a mutation or other illnesses?

Any reason why we don’t treat humans with preventives or do screenings for parasites? I remember reading that it’s estimated that 80% of the population likely has some kind of parasite. I not trying to drift off subject. It just seems to be a gaping hole that the medical industry has no interest in.

When I was younger, there were people in my town that were too poor to afford shoes. This was in the US, no less.

Homes can be a commodity. The problem is that the land they sit on is not. Land is relatively fixed in supply and land that is useful for living on is even more limited.

A couple of things to note:

1.) Why did it take Evergrande 3 years to liquidate? In western countries, liquidation happens in a few months. One should note that Evergrande did not get that big by itself; obviously it had the support of CCP elites to secure huge bank loans. Therefore, when it went bankrupt, the delay was to allow these elites to pull money/liquidable assets out of Evergrande. Thus after 3 years, Evergrande probably has pretty bad mark-to-fantasy assets left. This bodes very ill for creditors. Foreign creditors account only for $25B of the $300B liabilities for Evergrande. https://apnews.com/article/china-evergrande-property-liquida...

2.) This event implies that most of the Chinese real estate developers are bankrupt/insolvent. excluding for Li Ka Shing's portfolio most likely.

3.) Evergrande's assets are mostly comprised of lands in China. This means, most of the lands will get returned to local governments, which will increase land inventory massively. This will accelerate the real estate price decline in all parts of China, on top of the 30-40% drop we're seeing in Tier 1 cities, on top of the 50-60% drop we're seeing in non-Tier 1 cities.

4.) What does this mean for China's 3 pillars of economic engine (real estate, consumer spending, export)? real estate comprises of 25-30% of Chinese economy, so the economy will be forced to mark to reality these assets, and will take a huge hit. Consumer spending is tied to real estate engine, since most of the citizens' wealth is in real estate. Thus we are seeing consumer spending decline and downgrade substitution patterns. Case in point: recent $1 McDonald burger deal was causing shortages in China. Haidilao has been focused on a cheaper version of their hot pot, which costs $10. $1 bread shops are spreading across China.

5.) If real estate and consumer spending is crashing, then China can only rely on export, and thus the trend of dumping abroad will continue. Especially cars and solar. Europe is in the middle of looking into applying tariffs to Chinese EVs. US is already set with heavy tariffs on Chinese EVs. Note that Chinese export to US and Europe has dropped 10% and 20% y/y.

EDIT: also coincidently, Chinese authorities just banned short selling https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-securities-regulat.... This is following the Chinese stock market decline of 11% this year. and 3 year cumulative decline.

Ask HN: Any career professionals still use weed?
I feel like I'm in the minority of being able to be at the top of my game during the day, and still having the freedom of lighting a small joint to decompress in the evening.

I've always had sleep issues since I was a kid, and I've evolved from sleeping pills with a TV on to just a few tokes, and I'm out like a light; ready to annihilate the following day. Furthermore, I still get up at 6:30am to go to the gym, read a chapter or two of whatever I read in bed the night before and start work with a boost of energy that comes from within.

Any career professionals, be it IT or real estate, still utilize weed in some way or another?
