That's the big problem with societies based on the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law. Human nature has repeatedly demonstrated that if the letter of the law is what matters, people will work night and day to technically comply with the letter of the law, so they can continue to do the bad thing legally. Whole cottage industries will spring up to guide businesses right up to that legal line and sell them the tools and techniques to ensure they barely don't cross it.

In such a society, the rules need to be enormous and complex, much more than a 2 sentence HN post, to eliminate all the edge cases and loopholes everyone will naturally want to take advantage of.
Unsubstantive to you I guess.
Seriously! So many exasperated comments talking about unfair "tax breaks" and whatnot, and very little examination of the mechanics that actually would support this. It's like the Seinfeld "write off" scene.

From the sec 174 discussions, I had thought that movie production didn't even have to be capitalized? Or maybe that's wrong?

But even with capitalization, you'd think that selling the movie to someone else would accomplish the same thing - fast forwarding the depreciation - but with some additional immediate cashflow, part of which goes to taxes.

Unless the goal is to float this narrative for a year or two. Call the movies worthless for now, but retain control. And then finally "relent", re-value them upwards, and monetize? This would skip the current depreciation period and push taxes into the future.
So this is basically a package manager for react components?
Officially they haven't confirmed anything(employees deny to comment) but it seems intentional in all aspects and bug report is silent
To be fair, if anything, that table still shows you'll have compatibility with at least 3 major releases.
Either way, I agree their strategy is getting results, it just takes time. I do prefer their open source commitment, I just hope they continue.

A bit of feedback: Seeing this amount of non-speak and arrogance in the first sentence of the "getting started" readme has me immediately tune out and put this project aside. If there is anything good here, I won't see it.
Yeah, look at countries like Finland. Finland has, famously, some of the best government support for new mothers on the planet, comparatively high gender equality, consistently ranks at the top of world education rankings, has a strong, functioning social welfare system, and while housing is not exactly cheap, Finns on average spend 20% of their income on housing, which is not high.

And Finland's fertility rate has completely collapsed, to 1.32 children per woman in 2022.

As societies urbanize and become more educated, children become (economically speaking) a huge burden, not an asset, and that fundamental shift affects birthrates worldwide.
There doesn't appear to be easily obtainable information on the internet showing how many married women had driver's licenses in 1950 [and just 1950] compared to married men (the federal government did not collect this information), however an article states "In the 1950s many suburban housewives obtained their licenses in order to fulfil their domestic responsibilities." it also states "Perhaps a quarter of women drove before the second world war and more learned to drive during the war."

Only regionally. In the global context, it's quite neutral.
I live in a mid-sized European city right now, which I'm sure explains a lot of the bias in my response but there do exist relatively affordable cities with a good quality of life, and I'd rather live in a place where I can walk to the supermarket and the pharmacy and the town center rather than have to drive everywhere.

High population density also (generally) means more social activities, which can be important for some people (like myself). Living in a rural area kinda scares me because I'm afraid I'd be quite lonely.

On top of that, for those of us who don't have the privilege to remote work, living in a city is often necessary to have a job.
"Mute [x]" means that 'mute is false', so I click to make it say "Mute []" but instead you take the "x" away, ... so is mute no longer false?? If sound isn't working then this can be difficult to determine. You can fix it with a tooltip and/or familiarity with the system.

Buttons have more affordance too.
I actually think this is a great idea (though very hard to implement). We have special courts and systems for different things, it would be a great idea to have courts dedicated to just resolving employer-employee disputes.
I actually went down the zigbee rabbit hole with my house last week. I tried the best selling zigbee motion sensors on amazon, however, they only worked within line of sight of the zigbee antenna. I then tried the Phillips hue motion sensors. They worked flawlessly throughout my home.

Firefox isn't made, run, or owned by the Mozilla Foundation, though. You're thinking of the Mozilla corporation, which is a for-profit company working on the Firefox product.

The Mozilla Foundation is a separate advocacy and campaigning non-profit (which is also why donating to the foundation means your money goes towards advocacy and campaigns, not Firefox)
I like it. Why doesn't our "industry" look at aviation/military more often where miscommunication gets people killed.
All companies by simply reaching a certain scale and size -- are just by default becoming a monopoly. Since Apple is the biggest company in the world it's inescapable they will face these accusations even if they fairly earned their way in to this position the right thing is to still stop them because a monopoly is always a bad thing for consumers.
This is very simplistic, and somewhat wrong

First and foremost, states do not, and cannot "create free markets" the existence of a state to regulation a market makes is de-facto non-free

This is also a very rose colored look at unions, while simultaneously demonizing businesses. In reality it is completely possible to have an exploitive union. At the end of the day, power corrupts, and the more power a person or group has over another person or group the more corrupting that power is.

Thus in a very large union you will likely see just as much employee abuse, as in a very large company.

The sweet spot has always as well always been in Medium sized organizations, or unions, above 300 employees, under 3000 employees. Anything larger or smaller and the risk of abuse and poor conditions go up considerably even if you are represented by a large union
Douglas Hofstader has a talk on this topic called "Albert Einstein on Light; Light on Albert Einstein" that I often revisit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePA1zq56J1I (watch 10:30 to 12:00 if you're pressed for time, but I recommend the whole thing)
> If we really want to go down this route we should do away with parenting. Children our are future therefore the government will be responsible for producing and raising children to meet our necessary societal workforce quotas.

Come on, that's just idiotic sarcasm that doesn't even understand the GP's point, let alone actually skewer it. It's as stupid as trying to mock childfree people by sarcastically advocating a total ban on having children, like in ZPG (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069530/).
Most CUDA applications do not target the newest CUDA version! Despite 12.1 being out, lots of code still targets 7 or 8 to support old NVIDIA cards. Similar support for AMD isn’t unthinkable (but a rewrite to rocm would be).
If something new comes along that provides better performance per dollar, but you have no confidence that it'll continue to be available in the future, it's far less appealing. There's also little point in being cheaper if it just doesn't have the raw performance to justify the effort in implementing in that language.

CUDA currently has the better raw performance, better availability, and a long record indicating that the platform won't just disappear in a couple of years. You can use it on pretty much any NVIDIA GPU and it's properly supported. The same CUDA code that ran on a GTX680 can run on an RTX4090 with minimal changes if any (maybe even the same binary).

In comparison, AMD has a very spotty record with their compute technologies, stuff gets released and becomes effectively abandonware, or after just a few years support gets dropped regardless of the hardware's popularity. For several generations they basically led people on with promises of full support on consumer hardware that either never arrived or arrived when the next generation of cards were already available, and despite the general popularity of the rx580 and the popularity of the Radeon VII in compute applications, they dropped 'official' support. AMD treats its 'consumer' cards as third class citizens for compute support, but you aren't going to convince people to seriously look into your platform like that. Plus, it's a lot more appealing to have "GPU acceleration will allow us to take advantage of newer supercomputers, while also offering massive benefits to regular users" than just the former.

This was ultimately what removed AMD as a consideration for us when we were deciding on which to focus on for GPU acceleration in our application. Many of us already had access to an NVIDIA GPU of any sort, which would make development easier, while the entire facility had one ROCm capable AMD GPU at the time, specifically so they could occasionally check in on its status.
Lots of things happen without the USA. I get what you mean, but yeah, life goes on.
Couldn't they just hire a company to do the testing out of their own pocket? It wouldn't be that expensive.
List of Generic and Genericized Trademarks
The large amount of white place has been driving me insane for a while, glad to see there is a fix I will need to check this out later.

But I don't understand why Apple did not take a page out of Windows's taskbar. If there are too many make a dropdown. They are already easily draggable and removable so concern about bloat isn't really a concern. If I have them there I want them there and accessible.
After reading the post about Super Bowl [0] I remembered the Velcro advertisement [1] and wondered what else are genericized trademarks.

I think everyone is aware that Velcro, Kleenex, post-it are trademarks, even though they are used for off-brand products colloquially.
In Germany people also use Tempo, Tesa, Edding and so on, but most are aware that these are brand names.

But I was surprised to find out that names like escalator, cellophane, flip phone, even dry ice, trampoline, dumpster were once brand names!

> I know people in their 40s that are partying, going to clubs and concerts, doing bar crawls, cruises, visiting abroad, jet setting, and climbing the corporate ladder while living incredibly active lives. They don't want to give up their lifestyle to suddenly have to raise children.

That kind of thing, at least to me, seemed to get old pretty quickly. Probably more importantly though, is that we all get old at some point. When fewer and fewer people have children of their own, what happens when the bulk of people get past retirement age? I think it's a huge problem from both an economic standpoint (if there's no productive workers to keep things going, is the state really going to be able to support you in better than awful conditions as you age?) and from an individual and cultural standpoint.
I agree that checkboxes are perfect; but that's because I never try to fill forms on a smartphone. Native browser checkboxes are often unusable on smartphones; too small to hit with a thumb.

Let's put that to the test, ok

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/emulate

1a: "to imitate by means of an emulator"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/emulator

2: "hardware or software that permits programs written for one computer to be run on another computer"

Yup, FPGA recreating other hardware definitely fits the bill of emulation. Granted, Analogue has played up a marketing spin that boxes in "emulation" to mean "software running on some generic CPU" in order to claim "no emulation", but it's just marketing doing the work of marketing.

Yeah, Lisp can be verbose due to the lack of built-in syntax for things other than lists.

Take the Common Lisp syntax/library functions (there's not really built-in syntax) for hash tables:

https://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/hashes.html

Compare it with Python dictionary syntax:

https://developers.google.com/edu/python/dict-files

Almost everything that's built-in to other languages has to be given a name that makes sense in Lisp. It makes it more readable in some ways, but also more verbose.
A Windows exclusive game wouldn't make a Windows PC a console.
last time I interviewed for a job (and I am a sr developer with lengthy resume and all the 'right' skills for the job I was applying), after initial interview with recruiter and then hiring manager the recruiter said I had to take a coding test like I was some entry level programmer - I said no way, and thanks for your time - they made me an offer a few days later anyway.

Sometimes you just need to push back - won't always work - but at least you can have some control over the process.
They have already lost. The question is do they want to come in second in the game to control the future of the world or not play at all?
Intel & AMD have a cross-license agreement covering everything x86 (and x86_64) thanks to lots and lots of lawsuits over their many years of competition.

So while Intel had to bow to AMD's success and give up Itanium, they weren't then limited by that and could proceed to iterate on top of it.

Meanwhile it'll be a cold day in hell before Nvidia licenses anything about CUDA to AMD, much less allows AMD to iterate on top of it.
Oh I love parents and I don't have any problems with kids. Still consider them sometimes.

I was just bothered by the "I'm baffled by.." part of this specific post.

And you're 100% on the "don't know what we're missing," part. I haven't been married either, so no wedding, no births, no kids, it's an entire other lifestyle I basically won't have any interaction with if it doesn't happen, and it's a weird/scary thing because who knows which is better? Or what we're happier with in the end if we couldn't try both?

I'm straight but I kind of tell myself nowadays that all my gay friends are living that lifestyle and they're very happy from what I can tell so .. maybe it's not bad. But there are gay couples with kids, I don't know any. I haven't had the nerve to ask my good friend if he wanted/wants kids. Never know if thats a tough subject or not.

My only major parent pet peeve... is the word kiddos. And doggos. You can bring your screaming kids over to my pool to destroy my backyard and let all the bugs in cause they dont close doors while you get high and drunk but don't call them kiddos to me. I cannot deal with the mom forum abbreviations like DH (dear husband) and all that.. stuff. When it bleeds over to reddit etc, thankfully rarely, it hurts me to read.

I don't even care that parent coworkers leave to deal with parent stuff, at all. It actually makes ME feel less bad about leaving to do my personal stuff. I'm REALLY bad about being too anxious to leave. A lot better later in my career but early on I would never leave.
The bikes this post is talking about and the bikes that post is talking about have basically nothing in common. Mass market carbon bikes aren't designed to be used for exactly one race and then thrown away in the way that tri bikes sometimes are.
It reminds me a bit of TRIZ thinking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ. It's not that we were "more advanced", it's just that Brennan had a clear-headed approach to use mix of elements (gyroscopes, differential/asymmetry, pneumatics)
It is the same situation, entity A didn't pay entity B the money they agreed to pay.
Yeah. I always feel that the solution for clean and abundant energy globally is to start with better energy grid management (and storage). There's already so many fit-to-all-geography solutions available. It's just that current grid is used to supporting lines centralized around big energy plants and not small producers.

I also always feel that there's a lot more to take down from energy consumption per household by simply making more efficient devices (especially for heating and cooling). It's possible that modern AC/heaters are already close to the peak electrical efficiency, but I guess even better producer standards for things like insulation, thermal conductors or precision sensors could still squeeze something out of the nation-wide usage.
This is why every sane person uses an RPN calculator. :-0
I'm not talking about Israel here, I'm talking about what happened last years, where you even had Twitter accounts called Gas_the_Jews and the like spawning up and attempts to report them being automatically closed (for this one in particular, the Auschwitz memorial had to step up to get it banned).
From their wiki - which paints a familiar looking picture - it seems to be one of those companies that was doing a lot of acquiring/expanding during the pandemic.

I thought both Thread and Zigbee run on top of IEEE802.15.4, but Thread is based on 6LoWPAN / IPv6 where Zigbee uses its own network layer. But Thread idd functions fine without the internet (although you probably could connect devices to the internet if you'd want to).
This article appears to assume LLMs will not evolve beyond what they are now. Some basic extrapolation will show that many of the current limitations can and almost certainly will be overcome.

I do agree with the main premise: for now we definitely still need humans at the wheel. We just need a bit more time to add stuff like live learning, persistent overarching priority sorting and curiosity towards potentially beneficial information.
4, don’t forget Waze
Right after I finished tech school, and I was waiting for my first technician job, I worked for a friend's home remodeling contractor company for a few weeks. I was the "helper," so, naturally, I got all the shit work. The wages were minimum wage.

He kept jerking me around, paying fractions of what he owed me, then "forgetting" how much was left, etc. I probably ended up getting about a quarter or what I was owed.

This was a "friend" (note the quotes). I can only imagine what happens with the contractors that hire laborers from the side of the street, in the local hispanic district. Those chaps don't have any recourse (Unless you count the local MS-13 chapter).

I hear a lot of people tell me about the "wait to clock in" gig. Many of them "help themselves" to their employers' assets. I don't condone that, but I also don't condone their getting ripped off.

Large-scale, white-collar employers probably reap billions from stolen wages. My first job was hourly, and I made a lot of money over my standard wages (it was actually an honest employer -defense contractor, so they were audited with a proctoscope).

During my exempt career, I encountered all kinds of nickel-and-dime behavior. Those nickels and dimes add up to new Porsches in the driveways of senior managers.
The open-source Hidden Bar is my current solution to this problem, but I think I prefer this native fix.

Correct. It's why the concept of 'proprietary UNIX' didn't survive long once program portability became an incentive.
any proof of this? Every company I've worked for pays lots in taxes.
The last car I rented handled this package terribly. There was a way to disable the lane assistance, but it was a couple of steps and you had to perform them every time you started the car because it wouldn't remember your preference.
Most of the training is to know which ones need to be on and which ones need to be off. Not how to read various buttons as on or off. And the point there is they are able to rapidly scan a dashboard to know what is on and off at a glance.

Similarly, sliders and levers help you see which ones are maxed out and which ones are set at a rough 50% or similar.
I've been critical of AMD's failure to compete in AI for over a decade now, but I can see why AMD wouldn't want to go the route of cloning CUDA and I'm surprised they even tried. They would be on a never ending treadmill of feature catchup and bug-for-bug compatibility, and wouldn't have the freedom to change the API to suit their hardware.

The right path for AMD has always been to make their own API that runs on all of their own hardware, just as CUDA does for Nvidia, and push support for that API into all the open source ML projects (but mostly PyTorch), while attacking Nvidia's price discrimination by providing features they use to segment the market (e.g. virtualization, high VRAM) at lower price points.

Perhaps one day AMD will realize this. It seems like they're slowly moving in the right direction now, and all it took for them to wake up was Nvidia's market cap skyrocketing to 4th in the world on the back of their AI efforts...
Tesla caused the EV charging wars. They could have done this from the start.
