OK, it sounds like your experience was selfish simply because later ON you had children, and the time you spent alone was time you could've had with your eventual children.

But what of someone who will not have children at all? How is it, literally (in the definition of the word), "selfish" to not have children? From whom are you robbing experience? What is being "taken away" and from whom?
Someone built the same a while ago for Intel gpus, I think even still the old pre-Xe ones. With arc/xe on the horizon, people had the same question: why isn't Intel sponsoring this or even building their own. It was speculated that this might get them into legal hot water with Nvidia, Google VS. Oracle was brought up, etc...

I don't think my math is wildly off, but if you think it is, I invite you to show your work and what the non-off math should be. Claiming the numbers I mentioned are "exaggerated" is a bit misleading and insulting without this.

The cost savings you mention aren't savings: If the extensions to the villages aren't build, the folks in the cities would still use the train just as much as they do now. The question, then, is the marginal cost of bringing an existing rail line, from a city where it already exists, to a village of 4 person-rides per hour. The millions of dollars it costs are just for the parts that go to the village. Or, simplified further:

- having a train in the city which millions take, and then spending millions more dollars extending that train line to a village where 4 people/hour take it

versus

- having a a train in the city which millions of people take, and not spending millions more dollars extending that train line to a village where 4 people/hour take it

The second one is economically feasible, the first one not so much. As for doing things efficiently, that is only 1 requirement. We also have laws, regulations, safety, the environment, and many more considerations to factor in. Once you do, the cost gets to the orders of magnitude I mentioned.

When I purchased my latest TV, I was prepared to also dish out for a speaker system to ameliorate the terrible sound that flat screens have. A junky small speaker shoved in the rear of the panel to wheeze out sounds directly into wall.

However in the specs for the TV I saw it mentioned that Sony uses the entire display as a speaker. I was skeptical for sure, but man when I turned it on the first time I was actually blown away by how good it sounded. To the point where I have had people ask "Where do you have the speaker?" when looking at my presently speakerless setup.

It's not perfect, it has it's rough moments, but overall it's really damn good for what it is.

This is a false belief, that is increasingly common. Even if you're paying people to take care of you in old age, you are in fact contributing nothing while they are contributing everything. You will be only a burden, because the money is fake and in physical reality not worth anything. It is only in imagined reality that the money is worth anything, because it is something people agree to work for. Future workers will not be so dumb as to waste their life caring for somebody they are not related to, that are not a friend in any way, for no other benefit than fake "money". When the majority of elderly are childless, the cost of elder care and all other labour will increase faster than your bank account can ever keep up. It was different before atomisation of people, there was an exchange in the idea of "society" and "money". Now those concepts are only used to leech, abuse and destroy young working people, so why would they keep playing that foolish game?

IDE-SATA adapters are very common (and cheap), but this seems like SCSI-SATA which is definitely far less common; I know there is also SAS, but I'm not sure how that compares. There have been IDE-SCSI adapters made in the past too, but they've also become rare and expensive:

Asteroid Fragments That Exploded Above Berlin Recovered – They're Special
Certain kinds of systems really have to be designed ahead of time. The alternative is an incomplete system. You might never get anything working without a design.

Observability and trial-and-error tooling are a big deal. They enable the workflows that allow developers with a poor conception of the system to brute force their way to fitting requirements. The popular ethos around shipping the first thing that works, often, only works when you can see what you're doing, and the cost of bugs in production is low. That's software in 2024: mostly unimportant garbage.

For this kind of system at this point in time, a full design was the only way. The article hints at a touch of perfectionism (which probably didn't help the timeline), but it's not like he would have been more likely to guess and check his way to a working memory management system in less time with the sans-design development style popular today.

The Pocket has an FPGA from the same series as the MiSTer, but it's a lower-end model that's optimized more for power consumption. Most notably, it's missing the 800 MHz ARM core (meaning that it runs a custom "OS" off of a microcontroller rather than Linux like the MiSTer), and it has a bit less than half the amount of logic elements. This means that 16-bit console emulation is about the highest you can go on the Pocket, while the MiSTer can emulate the Playstation, Saturn, and N64.

Ask HN: How would you orient your life if you could not have children?
There was an article posted here yesterday about the decline of children having counsins. Aka, more and more people are not having children.

This spawned several threads about the "importance" of having children; about how "selfish" it is to not have children (I will refrain from voicing thoughts on that claim); and how having children is, in and of itself, the most meaningful thing a person can do.

As someone who cannot have children due to cancer as a teenager, I am curious to hear others' experiences in having a life without their own offspring.

It still makes no sense to me because I don't see how it is relevant that it is fixing what you see as a design flaw from Apple.

If the gutters on one side of my house frequently get clogged up with needles because the builder planted some pine and fir trees close to the house (but not so close as to be against any codes or regulations), I'm not going to just live with it because it is the builder's fault and so I'm not going to spend money to install gutter guards or have the trees removed.

I think it is a design flaw in many car mirror systems that when a car that is overtaking you gets close enough to no longer be visible in the center mirror it isn't yet visible in the side mirror. It is never occurred to me to just live with it because fixing it means spending money to fix the car's design flaw.

I fix this by buying a cheap little stick on convex mirror and sticking it on the side mirror. Then there is overlap between what I can see in the center mirror and what I can see in the side mirror, and I can see overtaking cars at all times. (Or bicyclists and motorcyclists that are lane splitting).

However I don't understand why many people are longing for Ladybird as another free browser. There are already some and Firefox is losing marketshare every day. So please do use it.

Ok, I guess Mozilla Foundation's running the Firefox project is not to everyones liking, so that would be a valid reason. But not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Firefox is a great browser and the only reason I sometimes use Chrome is that more and more sites require Chrome (e.g. Teams).
That may be a justification, but IMHO not the actual reason. It's about cost cutting, improving reliability, making space for more marketable features like camera and battery.

BTW, Samsung Galaxy S5 had all those features, even replaceable battery and was still waterproof.
Telling the monthly rate in Texas is not a great metric in general... you must always add the property tax costs. What are those, 300k'ish houses?

Really? I was thinking the _opposite_; look at the size of hydro and conventional tidal plants.

Even a 1MW diesel generator weighs about 10 tonnes (obviously not including fuel infrastructure).

The policy is usually in response to the problems, not vice versa. California is actually dysfunctionally democratic (with a small "d", not "Democratic"). The state constitution gives ballot initiatives powers that they don't have in many other states, and the state has a tradition of individual rights and political activism that means the citizenry isn't shy about using that.

A lot of people in the rest of the country tend to think "Oh, that's just dysfunctional California politics, we'll vote in different policies and things will go differently for us." Yes, you will vote in different policies. No, things will not go differently for you. California voted in different policies too - remember that it's the source of the Reagan Revolution, the hippie generation, the Chinese Exclusion Act, all sorts of policies that took hold nationally but are now the antithesis of what California stands for.

At the root of this is a misperception of the power of politics. Most ordinary people think that laws are laws and the people who make the laws have ultimate power. California (and U.S. history in general) proves that laws are reactions to specific social and demographic forces, and the laws reflect the shape of those forces. Economics drives politics and technology drives economics.

The hotel deal (all inclusive in Cyprus) made it much cheaper for them than an equivalent do in the UK - e.g. cheaper extras such as videographers than in the UK, bigger meal, etc. The resort-style hotel was also cheaper than staying in the UK and the long lead times made flights / bookings quite affordable.

> Raising kids is hard work.

It's really not that hard. You just have to change expectations and lifestyle. I never thought of it as "work" per-se but rather an obligation and responsibility to people brought into the world. It's amazing really. It's probably not for everyone and if someone sees it the same way as doing actual work then maybe it isn't for them.

All those things you want take up space. Wouldn’t it be good if current stuff took up less space so you could have more and better features? Of course it would. Not that you are getting those features, but other features like a bigger battery, a better camera, a bigger screen, blah blah blah are all easier to do if the necessary features take up less space and weigh less. And I think it’s cool, it might even open up a whole new gaming concept incorporating locational sound.

Well simplest reason would be money. There are few companies rolling in kind of money like Nvidia and AMD is not one of them. Cloud vendors would care a bit for them it is just business if Nvidia cost a lot more they in turn charge their customers a lot more while keeping their margins. I know some people still harbors notion that competition will lower the price, and it may, just not in sense customers imagine.
