You can steer attrition by so many parameters - compensation, (non) promotion, change in benefit plans.

And again, a "non-regrettable" termination can also apply when the employee quit.
That's how many U.S. corps still were back in the late Eighties, early Nineties when I started working. I remember the first layoffs in my division and how shocked everyone was.
I wonder how this could be made to work. Maybe huge stock grants that vest over a very long period.

And maybe stock owners shouldn’t hire non-engineers to run their aircraft firm.
Have you tried RADV? I've heard it's better.
You are discounting the theory of generations though.

A group of people who go though similar stages of their life at the same time, while experiencing the same life events together.

Every zoomer grew up in the backdrop of 911, the two wars in the middle east, the financial crisis and all experienced those events at similar ages.

I don't think it's impossible that things like this might affect behavior or decision making across the group.
You're taking gradient of availability but he's talking about the fact that this gradient is dependent on pwrsonal income. You're missing his point.

If a medicine costs one million, you probably will agree it's only for the wealthy? Now, it's just a question of the price limit you assign to "reserved to the wealthy", that's all. You may have a different threshold here, but I find it hard denying there is a threshold.
Canada is high probably because of the sparse northern population that uses fossil fuels year-round to get heat, transport and electricity.
You can install non ducted mini splits, which is what I did.

I left my oil furnace intact and added 4 high wall units (each bedroom and living room) with 2 outdoor condenser/compressors.

I still use my oil furnace when it gets below 40.
Foreach in razor is just c# too, so it's not a language thing it's more what it transpiles to.
That's the problem today. What use is it to not be persecuted for publishing politically incorrect information when the information is censored or ignored by the information amplifiers, like journals, the press, Wikipedia, social networks etc. There is so much information out there already that it is easy to drown some of it by denying it a platform.
This ignores Google's in house chips and their internal usage. They've been at this much longer. I doubt we have the visibility to know how they compare in terms of available flops and the unit costs
I tend to agree. As time moves on, the good books and stuff will stop being written and will slowly get very outdated as information is reorganized.

When that happens, AI may be the only way for many people to learn some information.
> At that point it becomes "building value for the shareholder" and "minimizing risk for the shareholder".

Generally people refer to this as Enshittification

> if you ruin the experience for the user then you've ruined your own product, thus defeating the shareholder.

Enshittification is literally the opposite of this.
It feels like you're comparing apples to oranges here. For one, you need a pretty significant down payment for a home where as you need maybe 1months rent as a reimbursable security deposit for an apartment. Being able to afford a $2000/month apartment != you could afford to go out and buy a $1800/month house.

Supply and demand is also tied into this - younger people who want to live in cities flock to like 3-5 major cities, which have populations upwards of 5m. If you aren't trying to live in a city (like the OP suggested) you have (basically) the entire rest of the country to choose from.
My numbers are that nearly half of apartments are multi-bedroom.

Which the article depicts as unusual.
At some point in my life I committed a crime.

Here's to hoping that's not enough to have me subpoenaed.
What 24 Consoles Would Look Like If They Rendered Themselves
I think it would have been reasonable to fire him before he made the breakthrough. Sometimes you have to cut your losses. Its his treatment after success that seemed egregious.
I live in San Diego and energy prices are relatively expensive. We installed solar two years ago and routinely overproduce 3+ MWh.

Now, with a heat pump, the wife and kids can set the thermostat for their comfort and I am less anxious about the monthly bill. The freedom was worth it, for us.
Stanford's Almanac outperformed ChatGPT-4, Bing, and Bard – thanks to RAG
Obtaining the necessary laminar flow in the presence of the handle might be challenging.
I live in the Bay Area California and get electricity from PG&E. I use a minimal amount of electricity and I paid 43 cents/kWh last month. Gas from Costco is $4/gal right now. I have a plugin-hybrid which does 4miles/kwh and 45mpg or in terms of money: 9.3miles/$ on electricity and 11.25gas-miles/$ on gasoline.

But maybe you don't actually care about fuel efficiency, then you have an argument that it's cheaper to fuel a Tesla Model 3 instead of a BMW M3.
> It looks to me if any of the VIS, CAS, LGS, or VES go down,

But the whole point is that by splitting it into micro-services you can efficiently and optimally scale each component individually. So it's extremely rare that VIS for example would entirely go down. And because Netflix has tools like Hystrix if one instance is unavailable it will seamlessly route to another one.

And Even if you push bad code there are techniques like blue/green and canary releases which can be used.
Apple refuses to pay top of the market. They'll have to get really lucky with someone who grows from within.
If they ever want to shoot an 'Even Blacker Mirror' TV anthology, they should adapt Egan's short stories. 'Axiomatic', especially.

Two stories in that collection from before the modern social internet (1992), with non-internet somewhat fantastic premises, nonetheless often come to mind when observing modern online self-presentational & affiliational dynamics:

• 'The Hundred Light-Year Diary' - a method of receiving tiny (tweet-like!) messages from the future – eventually rationed out to all people! – examines questions of free-will & (self-)deception, at many levels

• 'Unstable Orbits in the Space of Lies' - how much of what you believe/aver is imposed by your neighborhood?
I think people may be aware of your price insensitivity.
ok then, i got swoshed. i was thinking it was maybe a case for kids or churches or something.
The difference is that hardware will treat addition in a predictable and consistent manner, but C and C++ will not. In C and C++, if you overflow two signed integers, the behavior of your entire program is undefined, not simply the result of the addition.

That's the difference between something being safe and local but perhaps it's unexpected because you lack the knowledge about how it works, and something being unsafe because there is absolutely no way to know what will happen and the consequences can be global.
I see a bunch of the change-the-building-code-to-one-stairwell articles. Are they all from these people?

Also important: Who funds the 'Center for Building' and pays these well-qualified professionals? I don't see it addressed on their website.
Reminds me of both scenes in Cyberpunk where someone is bleeding out in Delamain's backseat.
Re: cultural artifact- yes, it is, but- if you are familiar with "mechanism design"- BTC is a game that incentivizes and rewards narrow-only adherence to the rules that are in fact established by culture/behavior and seemingly could be easily changed- but won't be, because the incentives are all aligned against change. This is kind of how "inertia" in the sense from earlier in the conversation comes about. And that the game was structured this way by the author "Satoshi" I think, again, is a genius-level innovation. The first solution to the Byzantine Generals problem. Now we have a lot of them but that one was first.

In the crypto space there is data to quantify the cost of divergence. People who want to just get off the train- fine- there are others willing to play/drive.

Re: actual BTC vs title- the BTC I count is that which I only have title to, e.g. held by a custodian. Yes, not your keys, not your coins- but as both a technologist who has had to manage- and has lost data- and as someone also with a background in the financial space- custodianship is one of those essential cultural/behavioral features- it only works if people follow certain rules, and those who do not are punished. My custodians have been around for a while and are I believe properly incentivized. As such they will be better suited to asset management than I am, as a single point of failure. Once more mature multisig/social auth workflows are worked out I will probably move to those. I am lucky to have partners who can play parts in those.
Someone sneaking into a movie theater is consuming a limited resource (a specific seat at a specific showing) and causing some presumably small amount of wear on the seats. They're actually taking something even if its value is probably significantly less than the notional lost sale. But someone who downloads a movie has taken nothing. They just have something someone didn't want them to have.
I would agree. Having said that I still think it was a bit wishy washy. The whole treatment of band gap energies I think is quite complicated beyond the simple diagram shown.
“Whose dreams come true in this scenario?”

I love this! I will use this as well.

There are so many situations where I have a feeling that people are solving problems that don’t exist. In code I run into at work, code and projects I see online, etc

The “whose dreams are you making come true” really applies here, because dreams are exactly what they are.

I spent quite some time writing an automatic image resizer and optimiser for my blog. Does it matter? No! Should I have spent that time writing blog posts instead? Yes! Still I was chasing some dream.

Thanks for this image
> Netflix is a company that works with media people. You either understand what that implies or you don't.

It implies everyone is hopped up on drugs?
You're forgetting one very important factor in my view: desperation. This makes a single individual rebel.

You get enough desperate people, feeling like they don't stand a chance to get XXX, you got a rebellion.
It can only be shocking if you see things in you own selfish point of view.
You define business as souless corporation but most of them are actually small organization that have real people depending on them and that just get by. Hiring someone who can be unreliable and just leave its position is really a bad deal for the business (and indirectly all the coworker if the postion was actually useful).

The problem is mostly women who wants to have it all either you want to suffer through the sacrifice that are asked to a man for work or you want kids, you choose; but complaining about this just show the unreal level of entitlement the women of todays have imposed on society.

Its particularly insane to have peoples complaining about this in the current society, when women have received an insane level of positive discrimination and the major problem is actually how bad most of the men have it.
I question the idea of “making an example of someone” to actually mean a capital police officer murdering an unarmed woman as any form of acceptable.

> IE, the reality on the ground is prices are in fact, not falling (or falling enough)

But your expectations are misplaced, prices won't fall in any case. If the success you expect from a monetary policy is to see price failing, you'll remain disappointed forever.

It's almost as if you complained that despite consecutive announcements in battery efficiency your laptop battery still isn't infinite.

Wage are catching up, with overall CPI, but some goods have grown so high in prices it's going to be long before the purchasing power for then reach it's previous level.
Where you live is a compromise. Location has always been a big factor. If you need to live in NY then you need to pay NY rents. If you can move to New Jersey then your prices go down - by you have a longer commute. Different people come up with different answers to this compromise.

Imagine you went to those people paying high rent for a small place and moved them to a small town in Montana, keeping the same pay. The cost of living makes it possible to own a large house in town near everything there is to do, so would they continue to live in a small space anyway?
According to the article it was not insured.
To be fair, this is a 1.0 version of brand new software and hardware. By the time we get to visionOS 3.0, and maybe even before that, this will be gone.
They have it in the article itself: it's why they were able to roll out a totally new plan tier quickly.
The technology being discussed is not direct air capture. However even in the context of 1200 KWh/ ton, that works out to .04*1200 = $48 per ton. Wind generally runs 4 cents per kwh rate, and there is limited need to distribute electricity to high intensity areas.

In total, that means we could sequester all global CO2 emissions for ~1.68 Trillion dollars per year - or 1.9% of global GDP. This is a small fraction of the estimated costs of economic disruption of climate change, why wouldn't we spend money on this?
On a philosophic level, this sort of thing deeply concerns me. We often get mired in the debate of "should people be able to learn to make bombs or how to best kill themselves" (and those are important debates), but our solutions to those problems will have big implications for future access to knowledge, and who gets to control that access. In the process of trying to prevent a short-term harm, we may end up causing unintended long-term harm.

As time moves on, the good blog posts, tutorials, books, etc where you currently learn the deeper knowledge such as memory management, will stop being written and will slowly get very outdated as information is reorganized.

I've already seen this happen in my career. When I first started, the way you learned some new technology was to buy a book on it. Hardly anybody does this anymore, and as a result there aren't many books out there. People have turned more to tutorials, videos, blog posts, and Stack Overflow. The quick iterations of knowledge from these faster delivery mechanisms also further make books more outdated by the time they written, which further makes them less economical.

As AI becomes the primary way to learn (and I definitely believe that it will), the tutorials, videos, blog posts, and even Stack Overflow are going to taper off just like books did. I honestly expect AI to become the only way to learn about things in the future (things that haven't yet been invented/created, and will never get the blog post because an AI will just read the code and tell you about it).

It could be an amazing future, but not unless Google and others change their approach. I think we may need to go through a new Enlightenment period where we discover that we shouldn't be afraid of knowledge and unorthodox (and even heretical) opinions and theories. Hopefully it won't take 1,500 years next time.
> At tech companies some roles are highly leveraged… These leveraged roles can create enormous amounts of value, but the unlock in technology can come from a single person, a single insight.

This core idea about tech employees having high leverage is spot on. It not only results in the high compensation that tech enjoys at the moment, but also explains why attrition and layoffs are a part of the process. Companies with a lot to gain from technology are willing to throw money into hiring, but are simultaneously figuring out which roles are actually paying off and which ones aren’t.
I remember using something similar like a decade ago, maybe one I linked below? I added one to a paper for a math class I turned in and the teacher loved it so much that the next semester he used it on almost every handout; it was quite annoying after a while, hahaha.

It's amusing how the HN sentiment shifts on the validity of social sciences degrees depending on the topic at hand.. IMO, if your PhD is outside of "STEM", you probably shouldn't call yourself a 'scientist'. There are plenty of english literature PhDs who have many peer-reviewed papers, and none of them are 'scientists', so no I don't buy that a PolySci or Econ researcher are scientists "by any measure".

In any case, don't listen to me, listen to a certain Roger Pielke Jr.:

> Now I am not a climate scientist and just like I accept the consensus of the IPCC, I am compelled to accept the consensus of the hurricane community.
That's Google's target market.
correct, i mean as in thinking new and disrupt the market. I stil don't get what you try to "gotcha" me with?
>How exactly does this limit consumers that desire buying parts they know Apple declares to be genuine?

It doesn't. It does affect the resell value of iphones, it diminishes the trust people have in buying second hand units. Low quality parts can hurt Apple's and iPhone brand image.
Utah has a significant housing shortage, in no small part driven by its status as the fastest growing state over the past decade (even more than Texas and Idaho).
One of the best things about HN is that in some cases it tolerates discussion which could, theoretically, be against its owners’ interests.

BTW, I don’t even think that this is one of those cases. I personally don’t pin the issue discussed in OP on YC in any way.
The first edition of "The Codebreakers" misses some of the most important events in the history of cryptography: Published in 1967, it came out before most details about the ENIGMA effort were known to the public, and almost a decade before Diffie and Hellman demonstrated asymmetry key exchange in 1976.
> Like you said, fire needs to be considered. Current codes are harming the poor, but it may be less harm than from allowing fire to kill them.

The last time there was a discussion on fire codes on HN, I looked up some statistics and reports from Finland. It's a country with an unusually large number of fire deaths per capita for a developed country, because of attitudes and because saunas are common.

Almost all fire deaths happened in the unit where the fire started. Unusually deadly home fires almost always happened in single-family homes. I couldn't find any reports of fires where a second stairwell accessible from the same corridor would have prevented deaths. There were some fires where a second exit from the unit (to a different corridor) would have helped, because the fire started near the exit and people couldn't get out.

This only applies to mid-rise and low-rise buildings. There are very few residential high-rises in Finland.
> They hold different versions of the same media to directly play the sppuroted version to the client

those different versions are transcoded from a mezzanine source, by a massive system, which is the subject of the OP. you can't just write off the main task from the discussion
FWIW there are different sizes but they are standardized and you can adapt most sizes to each other (although on the compressor side you only would want to size down). If you ever need to replace it you'll need to be careful with the line sizes but you should be able to find a compatible unit to your existing install.

Controllers, otoh, are a different story. You will probably need to replace your head units if you also replace the compressor with a different brand. Same story with being careful about line size.

Refrigerant isn't a big deal as you'll need to flush it and repressurize anyway if you replace these parts.
> What is it to you...?

If the people who live in cities have some fantasy about how they think people should live, and they push for legislation to be passed to "fix" the issues they see in the city, then laws/rules can end up being applied at a state level. That would then impact the people who opted to not live in a city - where the issues are potentially stemming from in the first place..
IMO, they should be playing games or sports instead. Give people more opportunities to do just what you said (instead of working supposedly boring (at least to them) jobs), instead of hurting people/property to achieve that.
Of course, but gas utility supply means a much smaller generator is needed just to operate the fans and thermostat and much less on-hand fuel is needed to operate the generator.

Natural gas is just a very convenient and very dense source of energy when you need it most.
Laissez-faire is the default.

It's only through the indoctrination of young impressionable minds by the state that people become persuaded by arguments the state should intrude into things.
There are legitimate reasons to read GPS signal but we still show a notice when it happens.
so, installing random software from random repositories equals fragility? that doesn't seem specific to apt at all. however the article is written Fedora-specific, so maybe people don't like to point out that dnf/yum is susceptible to the same problem. In fact, the article doesn't even try to call out apt, or fragility.

There is a use case for immutable distributions, just as there is one for those distributions which are not immutable.

It is dishonest to attribute fragility as a basic flaw in apt, when system fragility is a consequence of ignorance.
I think I get your point but being free speech and being an admission of a crime are not mutually exclusive.
If you fail to notice a doorway, does the effect still apply?

Are chronically forgetful people aware of doorways that the rest of us are not?

Can doorways (that bring about the effect) be purely subjective and personal?

If a person is beset by an eternal blizzard of subjective doorways, does he give the appearance of dumbness?

Do those who habitually ignore doorways appear smarter?
JSON Parsing: Intel Sapphire Rapids versus AMD Zen 4
Probably a bit more nuanced than that.

A lot of the installers run small businesses. If one of these units goes wrong or if they do the install wrong because it's new to them, then that's lost time and lost revenue rectifying it.
Internet (mainstream) news are literally polar opposites now. I'm starting to get my news from Academia.edu and scientific papers.

The pictures seem rather generic: they hold a place, but they don't do anything beyond that. It would be better to approach it more in the spirit of typographers using pangrams & texts composed to have problematic letter pairs. Randomization is a poor substitute for targeted selection of images. Make the images have moire. Make them have outlines and borders. Make them monochromatic. Make them color-blind testcases. Make them asymmetrical or with gradients. Make them screenshots of web pages with fancy design. Make them blinding white for dark mode tests, or look horrible when inverted thoughtlessly by a dark mode. Surely there must be many 'problematic' images that could be used rather than generic hotel-room clip art (which are chosen in considerable part to not be problematic or a stress-test of anything)?
