Huh? That's exactly what I wanted!

I wanted an account that would not give me any credit. I did not want any credit.

But I also wanted the bank to do the mental arithmetic for me, and just refuse when I don't have enough funds. Instead of me having to carefully track my balance manually, lest I accidentally use any credit I don't want to.

(For context: I usually try to keep my liquid balance fairly low, and stick the rest into savings and/or investments.

It's ok for me, if a payment bounces every once in a while because of that. It's all about trade-offs. I can usually fix it pretty quickly by transferring some money from my savings account, or from my brokerage.

With an account that helps me there, by not offering any unwanted credit at all, I can manage my finances a bit more aggressively, instead of having to keep up some safety cushion against arithmetic mistakes on my part.)

See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39201675 for how that non-overdraft account works in practice for people who don't want to take on credit, but also don't want to have all their money in their 'checking' account.

This is because simplicity in a complex system allows easy problem solving and tooling built around it. Knowledge silos and haunted forests are much easier to avoid this way. Any complex distributed system to be comprehensible to a team let alone a single person has to have individually simple components with obvious design.

Interesting the lag between the Korean language publishing of an article and the English version. This particular article was originally published 2022.5.30, the English version was published 2022.11.03. It's also interesting to see what they opt to translate. Of the 192 success stories they list, 104 are translated into English but only 13 are published in Chinese...and Russian... 7. I'd be curious to know their process for selecting what gets translated and published into what language, and, how they go about it.

I'm not really trying to rebut Michael's argument -- I think it's true, to an extent, some of the time. But I think it's more true more of the time in the reverse direction. So I don't think it's a good argument. And more importantly, I think it fails to properly grapple with the ideas, instead using an ad hominem approach to discarding them somewhat thoughtless.

On your last point, I do think it's important to note, and reflect carefully on, the extremely high overlap between those funding ai notkilleveryoneism and those funding capabilities development.

you must know people that have less going in those dimensions than others. a friend that never loses their keys, or a friend that's always on time. they don't have to have utterly uneventful and unremarkable lives to be neurotypical, but some people just have less trouble with things than others. Or, you don't have any one who is neurotypical in your life, which is why you question the word. which is entirely valid as well.

as far as the average: I'm just saying the average person has more like .9 ovaries and .9 testicles.
Natural gas is a by-product of much oil extraction, and commonly used for heating, cooking, etc.... Propane is also commonly used, in more rural locations.

But what Texas has is much higher requirements for air conditioning, which can't be easily gas-powered at the level of individual houses. Thus the higher electrical energy requirements. Now, you can run gas turbines at the utility level to generate electricity, but that's much less common at the level of individual homes.

> Some things are improved by formalism, empiricism, and positivist reductionism. Some things are made worse by that kind of thinking.

But that doesn't mean anything is made better by mysticism and appealing to some vague idea of transcendence.

If nothing formal can be said about a topic, then perhaps nothing at all can be said about that topic. Which is perfectly fine. It seems to me that so much of the available literature concerning such things is driven by the desperate insistence that it must be possible to investigate it, and if it cannot be done scientifically, there must be some other way.

The leaders of that bank benefitted greatly from what was happening.

Globally, crypto fraud is a fraction of banking fraud. Since crypto is global, I take that perspective. That said, here is one data point... you are welcome to keep digging. Mind you, the banking ones are only the frauds that are caught and public, and not actively being manipulated.

There's new features in IPv6 but if you don't use them, it's pretty just more bits as far as applications and users can see. The biggest change is probably replacing ARP, but that part has been unchanged and shipping since the start and invisible to users. And of course there's also simplifications vs IPv4.

The biggest shock is for people who have gotten the NAT stockhold syndrome (which always went against IPv4 internet architecture, there's a reason it's outlawed in the standard track IP RFCs).

PhotoRoom (YC S20) Is Hiring an API Designer in Paris (Node, Rust)
(PhotoRoom's CTO here)

TL;DR; We're looking for a seasoned engineer who has experience building easy-to-use public web APIs with Node.js

Our goal: allow anyone to edit images by typing an URL. Think of it as PhotoRoom-in-a-box, where the interface is an URL

For instance, you can call: https://beta-sdk.photoroom.com/v2/edit?background.color=blue... and get your edited image back.
(here it's missing an API key)

The first version is live, but there's so much we want to build: text editing, new AI capabilities ("turn that t-shirt from red to blue") and so much more

About you: our main requirement is that you have a track record of to use and scalable.

Our stack:
Node 18 deployed on a serverless stack. Ideally you'd have a lot of experience in Node/TypeScript but that's not a strong requirement if you can adapt to best practices quickly.
We're sharing a lot of the rendering code with our apps (in Rust, C). While you won't have to dig into that part of the stack you'll be able to if you're curious

You'll find more details in the offer here: https://jobs.lever.co/photoroom/29260c53-a84f-4d4f-a322-3bdc...
> the solution is unions.

A union is only a solution where workers are trying to screw over each other to get a leg up. The classical example is where a worker accepts lesser pay to ensure that they get the job over the guy beside him who wants more money. A union sets up a 'brotherhood' where the workers mutually agree to not undercut each other like that, allowing them to maximize their benefit.

Unions are not effective where the company is driving the bus. Going back to the classical example, a company that has decided that the work is worth $x and not a penny more, no union is not going to eke out more than $x. If a company is hell bent on the office being strictly necessary, there is nothing a union can do to change that.

Only if a worker is trying to screw over another worker by dutifully showing up to the office, where the company would otherwise be lenient towards WFH if that were their only choice, might a union be effective. Granted, perhaps you misspoke and this is what you really meant?

But that questions how effective the 'brotherhood' is when people are isolated from each other. It is one thing to honour your promise to other workers when you have to see them every day and face their scorn if you break the promise and continue to be an asshole. It is quite another when you have no connection to the other 'brothers' whatsoever – where you have probably never met, and may not even know that they exist. Unions are usually quite protective to ensure that doesn't happen. There is good reason why a software developer isn't normally welcome into a teachers union, for example.

What successful WFH-focused unions that have stood the test of time can we look at?

The various farmer unions fit the bill, perhaps, but I'm not sure they have proven to be all that effective. Farmers are quite good at screwing each other over and there isn't much reprisal when they do. The farmer unions that are enshrined by government rule fare better, but no doubt only because of a third-party (the government) holding the 'brotherhood' together. That is not quite the same as a 'brotherhood' by first-party accord.
Our taxes cover entitlements, military, and debt. That's it. Everything else is coming from the deficit. The Republicans have cut taxes to an unsustainable level. No matter how big or small the rest of the government is, the tax base is too low to support it.

> There's also lock-in which I hate with a passion.

I wonder if this isn't clouding your judgement here. FaaS is subject to lock-in, absolutely, but for teams that need a bit of code run and need to not manage an instance, functions are the way to go. Need to be at an organization that's able to support that properly, but that's table stakes at this point.
This is an existential goal, so what if it doesn't appear realistic.

Satisfying natural gas demand without The Pipe was also unrealistic.
TIL. Grew up seeing Brando in Superman and Apocalypse Now, and didn’t really get why people treated him with such reverence. Was fine in those roles of course.

Random aside, but I love this news site. It's oldschool in the best of ways.
> Please don’t email me to argue that map iteration order is random. It’s not.

He definitely knows about this, but more clearly: there is no specified behavior about the map iteration order with a clarification that it can vary for each iteration of the same map, but the intent is that it is explicitly going to be unpredictable [1] and the main Go implementation always behaved like that since 1.0, so such argument is not exactly wrong. (I don't know whether this distinction is intentional. Most likely a simple oversight.)

> It is the worst possible way to schedule jobs at scale.

The literal evidence proves that this approach is absolutely workable at scale, so “the worst possible way” clearly doesn’t apply.

The interesting question here is “how did they make this work?” The answer to which is immensely valuable to the technical community at large. “What are they building next?”, whilst interesting, is less immediately valuable as they will be building something Slack-scale, and most orgs are not Slack or Slack-scale

> Secular post-modernity is brilliant at giving us power plants, roads, and medicines.

Postmodernism hasn’t been around long enough for any of that. Perhaps you meant “enlightenment”. It’s the “Age of Reason” that kicked society along this road. Post modernism has given us something else. A set of tools to deconstruct any human concept you can name, until it can be shown as meaningless. Which, I would posit, is the “end of enlightenment”.

> Didn't get a credit card until first time I was planning to rent a car when travelling knowing how much easier it would be.

I still don't use a credit card for that. I have a debit card that's part of Visa, so most businesses don't care whether it's debit or credit.
I did a similar thing on a project of mine where I used to use IPFS as the only long term storage layer on a project of mine. I still use IPFS but now I use it more as "long term unreliable storage". Note that I use IPFS without Filecoin or any external pinning services, instead chose to pin the content from my own server on regular basis.

The current status is that I plan to bring back IPFS usage more in the future for my project, but will wait for the ecosystem to mature a bit more first with regards to libraries.

This is also really cool, similar idea but in 3d space
I'm much more comfortable with the idea of AI watermarking images it creates instead of refusing to create images because of "safety", which in practice more often means not wanting to offend anyone. Imagine if word processors like Google Docs refused to write things you wanted to write because of mature themes. The important thing, in my opinion, is to make it a lot more difficult to pass off AI generated content as being authentic and to make provenance traceable if you were to do something like create revenge porn with AI, but not to make AI refuse to create explicit material at all.

Which gold standard? There are many.

Is everything backed by gold? So no loans, debt, or bonds? This is deflationary because the total value of stuff grows but the monetary base stays the same.

Is there a fiat currency backed by gold? How will you avoid the monetary base growing larger than the total quantity of gold in the world? How is this functionally different from today?

People who ace interviews are people with practice. That means you are last in a long line of unsuccessful interviews or the person constantly interviewing and will be leaving you as fast as they came in.

Find someone with a great resume and horrible interview skills. Chances are they have been working for years and are entering the job market for the first time. You are one of the firsts in their interview process. Grab them right away because once they start getting slightly good in the interview process someone will snap them up and realize they got a 10x (whatever it means to that company).

You'll never find that 10x if you are looking at interview performance unless you can compete on price and reputation.
One important aspect missing is tactical feedback. The mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen all provide that but Vision Pro doesn’t. We have evolved several nervous system sensors (touch, pressure, temperature) for this and it is just as “human” as spatial reasoning and hand manipulation of objects
If you think of things from a political lens, "autistics" being an exclusive group makes sense, so as to not dilute support for those autistics.
They could both be right
The "Extreme male brain" theory aged like milk, that autistics have more "male" brains than the rest of the population. Years after that theory we saw extremely high incidence of MtF transgenderism among autistics. Living as a woman doesn't really seem like an extreme male brained thing to do.
I think there are two minds to this.

One, with software, you could delay any action for a set amount of time as such to give your brain time to make a more concrete decision. Idk how long that delay needs to be, but I'm guessing it's less than 300ms.

On the other hand, if the hardware is responsive enough, you can simply decide to close the program/ad/whatever another split second after that fleeting thought.

The pessimist in me thinks that the first option is probably the best one given software optimization in the past two decades, but who knows.

VR Therapy outperforms traditional relaxation therapy in palliative care
I will take a layman's crack at it.
The paper discusses how crises and times of high stress and/or prolonged periods of social isolation, sleep deprivation, etc. can precipitate a psychological state (with accompanying neurochemical phenomena which I cannot speak to but appear to be centered around serotonin) that can foster rapid psychological transformation and re-arrangement of one's self-concept, their core beliefs about themselves and others, and their ultimate framing of and relationship to the world. A "resurrection." Under suboptimal conditions it can lead to a descent into psychosis. I am reminded of Jung's own brushes with such states as chronicled in the Red Book.
