Thanks for your reply, I am going to check this book. We've been talking a lot about the advantage of meditation in this society, but it seems there are also some dark sides of it...

A convenience store or liquor store is much more likely to be robbed than a bank.
It’s barely enforced, and I believe that in most major California cities they can’t pull you over for it now, but can give you a ticket if there’s another reason for the stop. The majority of cars I see that are under ~5 years old on California roads have illegal tint.
Isn't point 2 a summarized version of trickle-down economics, which, by the way, has been repeatedly proven not to be effective? https://www.lse.ac.uk/research/research-for-the-world/econom...
You should be able to read a function from top to bottom and it should show you the whole procedure at a given level of abstraction. Hiding the details is the heart of what programming is.

I always try to write code like

fn foo() {

let foo = do_first_thing();

let bar = do_second_thing();

do_third_thing(foo, bar);

}

whenever possible. Then you can see the abstract overview of what the code does at a glance, but you can drill down into the details if you need to.
That isn't carjacking. That's auto theft. Carjacking is when a criminal takes over a running car, oftentimes via threat of violence. No interlock is stopping that.
No, because teaching is fucking hard. You aren't accumulating power. And you actually have to show up every day.

Being a teacher is probably the opposite of being a politician.
> nobody was worried about databases. And the people who were not worried about databases, are worried about AI

Also, Larry Ellison didn’t market Oracle as world-ending technology. Altman et al have.
I understood the bill to explicitly not target misuse of the AI (from the article: "Odd that ‘a model autonomously engaging in a sustained sequence of unsafe behavior’ only counts as an ‘AI safety incident’ if it is not ‘at the request of a user.’ If a user requests that, aren’t you supposed to ensure the model doesn’t do it? Sounds to me like a safety incident."). This seems to be entirely targeted at potential risk from a rogue AI. What regulation would you propose to address that risk?
That's been my experience so far. I have ~20 Z-wave devices from a variety of manufacturers. They all work very well with Home Assistant, and many of them now support firmware updating directly through HA as well.
> Read this from the perspective of a woman, but especially a slut. You have invented a whole philosophy based on the idea that women have some sort of numerical rating

That’s the nature of the world today. Everything is quantified, everything is transactional. It’s not particularly true of women.

> and that sex is some kind of competition

I find the reduction of human sexuality to mere biological competition distasteful, but there’s no denying that it is competitive.

> Women often have impossible beauty standards marketed towards them, with the intent of making us feel bad so we spend money on self-improvement. This is the masculine equivalent. Nothing is tearing the "social fabric", you're tearing at yourself.

Note the difference in passivity with which you describe women and men. This is done to women, whereas men do it to themselves.

There are extreme, systemic problems affecting both, which is exactly what tearing the social fabric describes.
I agree, if you don't like a key feature of a library, like tailwind-based styling which is meant to be customized, then that library is probably not for you.

The form component is more the exception for its complexity but forms are also very complex on the web.

Being a wrapper on top of Radix is kind of the point. You can't build a nice-looking MVP in an afternoon with Radix - you need one afternoon just to style every state of button - but with shadcn you can. Their experiment is to give you the ability to still spend an afternoon styling the button later without having to hack around a complex library. Your ability to rewrite it even away from tailwind is exactly the point. Ever tried rewriting MUI to use tailwind?
A slightly different version was in use in Denmark:

a ship declared the value of their cargo for toll purposes. They decided the price, but the catch was the customs could buy the cargo at that price.
Lawyers are expensive. If your business model required suing someone to enforce your claim, you better hope you have money, and you better hope you win your case fast.

Otherwise, you will spend more time and energy on that lawsuit than your work on invention. It's what economists termed "deadweight loss".

It has at time proven to be a business mirage, especially if inventors start suing other inventors and pioneers rather than getting on with copying and improving upon each other's work. Invention and engineering is a collaborative process, even if at time, adversarial. Can't really let a few folks has their monopolies at the expense of everyone else.
I do not think you know the domain business, which I happen to work in (I own a small registrar and know people at registries). The reason domain costs money is to make it more expensive to hoard, not to pay for any service. There is a service but it just costs a tiny fraction of the registry fee the rest they often use for funding various non-profit initiatives to improve the internet not related at all the providing any service. The fee is set where it is to discourage hoarding.

Edit: It is also there to make it slightly more expensive to create scam sites, but mostly for the anti-hoarding.

Trickle-down economics. It sounds like a good idea, but in practice, the system is much less about dollars and cents and more about intangible deals and than goods and services. So the vast majority of wealth in the system never actually is seen by the less wealthy. It just endlessly circulates amongst the very wealthy.
Show HN: AED Map – Mobile App for Automated External Defibrillators
I've created mobile app in Flutter that allows people to look for nearest AED (automated external defibrillator). In case of sudden cardiac arrest, usage of AED increases chances of survival from 5% to 70%.

Data comes from openstreetmap database.
My app also allows users to navigate via pedestrian routing engine. Users can also contribute to OSM database.
Money is power.

Of course, the people who think that's a super brilliant great idea are those with a lot of money or those who somehow expect to get a lot of money.
I interviewed for a role at FedEx about two years ago. It was absolutely the most confusing and just junk process although blessedly I did not have to take this personality test. I ended up bailing out of the process mostly in confusion.
Beyond a few million a year, the rest of the comp is really providing something that's more difficult to purchase with money: power.

So, while there's a diminishing return on the benefits of additional money in a person's life, a certain subset of people have an insatiable desire for more power. It's problematic in what's supposed to be a democratic society with a fairly flat amount of power distributed among citizens. We essentially recreate a hereditary nobility, which reduces the fitness of our civilization as a whole since we no longer have the most qualified people making the decisions.

That covers the language and the standard library. With your experience, reading that language ‘spec’ shouldn’t take more than a day (I think it’s a bit too loose to call it a spec, but that makes for a quicker read. It also may be that it is covering all edge cases, but so well written that it doesn’t look that way gedijt: just noticed there’s a “language reference” section now. IMO, that makes this (closer to) a spec)

As with most languages, getting a grip of the standard library, and learning to use it well will take more time.

I completely agree with your sentiment but it makes me wonder why we pay for insurance at all. It's a complete scam.

Pay money monthly to a company "in case" something bad happens.

Then when you need to collect, you are treated like a criminal and they will do everything they can to avoid paying you. Your comment hits the nail on the head... you are paying for something yet afraid to use it because "what if something else worse happens". You need insurance insurance now.

They are not in the business of paying claims. They are in the business of tricking people into monthly premiums so they can deny their claims. If they can deny more claims than they fulfill I bet it's very lucrative.

Insurance is (morally) the worst industry ever. It is a product built on a lie. You wonder why people have no trust in corporations. This is why.

Headlines like this make me laugh because it sounds like something is getting done when it's just congresspeople with no actual power making grand speeches that amount to nothing. They really gave those profiteers a real Congressional finger wag!

No it doesn't - what if you had a trillion dollars. You could spend the money on saving the penguins, or developing a Linux distribution that's just the way you like it, or clean up the ocean, or start a Manhattan project for breakthrough battery tech, or teach kids math in Africa, or convert a large number of people to your religion, or fund the arts, or fund an expedition to Mars, or any number of things.

Human needs are infinite. There will always, always be more good and worthwhile things to buy.
I can already legally do whatever I want with my own phone, as I have a right to my property, but it doesn't mean Apple is required to help me do it. And Apple has the right to design the phone and offer service the way they want. There are exceptions where this might not be right, but it's just a phone repair, not someone's life.

Why should I care about Apple's rights? Aside from any argument about slippery slope, I'm a happy enough customer. Last time I've felt the need to repair an iPhone was a decade ago, and it was for a cracked screen, which wasn't expensive to repair. It seems to me like people with niche business interests are trying to force them on a market that has already decided against them.
I believe this is the case in some countries, Cambodia being one if I recall correctly.

I remember being there during an election, in theory none of the bars/pubs were meant to open because they didn't want people just taking the day off to get drunk. However being in a tourist spot, the bars who served the foreign travellers were open... just everyone was drinking their beer out or mugs.

Apparently this was sufficiently respecting the spirit of the law for business to continue as usual.
Relevant, as this was written during the last global financial crisis, when everybody outside the financial industry was busy agreeing with each other that people in the industry (especially banking) were hugely overpaid.
> For me working overtime is part of the package when I get paid loads more.

I've tended to think this way, but it's all relative. Plenty of people who've never had a $50k job will treat the $100k job as the baseline/minimum, and wouldn't ever think of going the extra mile like you do. For you (and me?) - yeah, you're paying "a lot", I'll make sure I do a bit extra/more when needed. But if you've never had less, that $100k is your bottom, and you might only consider doing 'extra' for a $200k job.
For the record, not everyone is like this. And - one hopes - many of the most talented are not. I've pulled out of an interview process for a job paying 3-4x (with upwards potential) the job I took, because I saw more meaning and social value in the latter. The content of the job can be more important than the salary.
Montréal has one.

Yeah, a lot has changed since then and his post does not age well. The post-2008 era of trillion-dollar tech companies and winner-take-all markets, like social media and apps, necessitates superlative talent to get products out to market fast to capture invaluable market share. The difference between being early or late can mean missing out on literally hundreds of billions of dollars of valuation. It is not irrational at all for huge tech or finance companies to pay top dollar for talent when the returns are so great and things are so competitive, too. Paying $500k/year or more is immaterial when you're talking trillions of dollars.
I get what you're getting at but the idea that you're allowing people not to work because they're getting shit-faced the day prior while watching a football game sounds like the wrong path to take for society. And I say this as a die-hard Chiefs fan for close to 15 years lol
Indeed I got that wrong. Sadly minimal SIMD and hardware acceleration support.
Possibly not a typo. It's a long running joke based on the NFLs extremely aggressive defense of their trademark by threatening anyone using the phrase Super Bowl to advertise anything. That's why euphemisms like "The Big Game" show up a lot.
You don't need Max Verstappen to drive your armored truck, but you sure do need Steph Curry to sell basketball tickets.

The level of competition between companies--the level of talent needed to win--is what drives the salaries.
>Salary is absolutely the key factor when people pick jobs.

Eh. It's a key factor. Once you get beyond a certain point, many people take lots of factors into account for jobs that are not otherwise basically interchangeable.
This is why I have never even considered pomodoro. Only being able to work on something for 25 minutes for me means it's not worth starting in the first place.

I am no expert here, but it sure seems like a lot of railroad stuff is happening and money moving around for a “stalled out” safety initiative. Maybe someone else can provide more context?
We could push it further and say there's no renewable source possible - at least until the multivac finally gets the answer.

"Sorry, you failed to walk out on us. We don't think you're right for the team."
> That's all there is to it. There is no big picture.

Even if it is correct (which you haven’t tried to support, just claiming that you know best), how is it relevant? If there’s no bigger picture then what’s wrong with going extinct which should push us to procreate? The comparison to fire - the human population is the highest it’s ever been and still increasing so it doesn’t seem like we are “going out“, and if that was happening the collapse of civilisation would lead to the loss of the ability to mass manufacture birth control and loss of the medical systems supporting them at some point, and the population would go up again after that, wouldn’t it? Fire runs out of fuel, but human food grows on trees - less humans leads to more ecosystem regeneration which could support more humans.

> "an incurious hostility toward the view that people (myself included) are, like fire, essentially just echoes of thermodynamics."

I thought we were “just“ hydraulic systems? Just LLMs? Just clockwork? Humans are just {recent scientific discovery of the era} is an interesting view on its own but is it relevant to the thread? "We are just thermodynamic systems ... so we should reproduce"?

Consuming without working for it is immoral, flying privat jets and traveling more is bad for the environment. Those are not reasons in favor of higher salaries.
Trickle down economics don't seem to work and while the broader economy isn't a zero sum game an individual company's decision to pay executives more money is a decision not to spend that money elsewhere.
No, Jeff Bezos has it right. There is some nuance to his data analysis approach and I recommend listening to his interview on the Lex Fridman podcast to understand what he was getting at.

For me the hardest part is actually getting started.

And as I notice, my problem at times is that my tasks are like "You are a Roman General. You have 3 Legions. Conquer Europe north of this line."

For me personally, it's better to have a task like "Alternate pick the A-Minor scale on the bass 2 times up and down at 120bpm". Easy and simple to do I'd say. And then you realize that other thing. And then that other thing. And then you watch some Vids from Ola, Bernth, Glenn. And suddenly you've noodled 2 hours on the guitar.
>If you pay someone a lot of money they will, essentially, spend it on other people.

This touches on the concept of trickle down economics and it is generally regarded as not doing what you think it does (or at least, not very effectively).
Show HN: HypraFap – Commodore 64 adult image viewer
I was wondering how a stash of digital adult images would have looked like in the 1980s, how slow everything was and how much disks would have been lying around.

With my new weekend project "HypraFap" you can experience retro adult fun!

Watch up to 16 glorious colorful images per disk on your Commodore 64 :-)

I wrote HypraFap to learn a bit 6502 assembly and of course to learn a bit about the Commodore 64! On the github project page you find both, the TMPx assembly files and a demo floppy disk d64 image to try out HypraFap. I also explain how to create your own disks and images in Koala Painter format.

And to be fair: It starts to make fun when you use a Floppy Fast Loader (I linked one in the readme).

Does it work on your side? Ideas for cool features or how to improve it?
“In fact, we need more private companies that innovate and pay their staff a ton. But if you're owned by shareholders..”

Private companies are owned by shareholders.

That’s just one of the internal inconsistencies. Bit curious. Leads me to question the whole argument.
Yes, I only needed 2D so that's all I did.

I looked at the C code in [0]. It looks like it goes to/from the x,y,z coordinates each time, which certainly works, but is not all that fast, and I was interested in higher performance.

If you haven't read it, take a look at Hacker's Delight, which goes into space-filling curves.

I believe the Perdacher et al. code handles 2D generalized Hilbert curves without a kink, but it doesn't look as nice. That's the code I link to at https://gitlab.cs.univie.ac.at/martinp16cs/mortonlu/-/blob/m... but in the HILLOOP code. You'll also need the .c file next to it.

It's not easy to extract. I've mostly ported it to standalone C. Try http://dalkescientific.com/hilbert8.c . I last touched it last summer and don't recall the status.

What I remember was it wasn't as evenly distributed as the gilbert code, and for my code I wanted to prefer nearness over strict neighborhoods.
That's a naive argument.

Intelligence / Competence more or less has the same distribution curve. With the access of knowledge now widely available, A country with 1.5B people will always have more competent people than countries that have 50 Million in population.

And these countries have cheap labor. US has always poo-pooed Japanese, Chinese and Indian workers as low quality. That's only because you didn't filter well

Indeed. I recommend also checking out the 2nd volume of Einstein's collected papers. There is one with the proceedings from a conference on the subject, and Einstein is basically alone in trying to convince his peers, including Planck, of the reality of "quanta" of light, independent of the process of emission and absorption or mathematical tricks.
