Europeeans tend to have less disposable income and be less consumerist, smaller and better heated/insulated houses, less cars per household, &c.
Are there any resources you’d recommend to learn this? Or is this just something you have to learn through trial and error?

For context, I’m someone who has big blind spots in this area and trying to figure out how to overcome them. Typically, I just develop a set of internal “rules” or principles and then run everything through those rules/decision tree. I’ve been able to overcome a LOT of previous blind spots in this way.

The challenge is that few people are willing and/or able to articulate the principles involved. When I find a book or person who can and will explain the principles and patterns, I’m golden. If not, I’m lost at sea.

Any resources you could recommend would be greatly appreciated!
Private prisons only profit because people commit crimes. So the question becomes: How to make people commit less crimes?

Sugar factories are only able to sell because people are willing to buy. So the question becomes: How to make people less willing to consume unhealthy food?
In US, safety is often tight to 'will we get sued for this' mentality that is associated with the corrupt legal system. This could also attributed to the over cost of building a train system in US vs other parts of the world.

This is rather self-contradictory: you insist we can't make progress with wishy-washy conjectures on vague and fuzzy concepts, and yet your entire argument in this thread for your claim that machine understanding of the real world has been achieved is based on exactly that: your personal subjective assessment of LLM performance!

In your final paragraph, you attempt to suggest that my proposed test is no better than the Turing test (and therefore no better than what you are doing), but as you have not addressed the ways in which my proposal differs from the Turing test, I regard this as merely waffling on the issue. In practice, it is not so easy to come up with tests for whether a human understands an issue (as opposed to having merely committed a bunch of related propositions to memory) and I am trying to capture the ways in which we can make that call.

You entered this debate saying "I think we are way past the point of debate here. LLMs are not stochastic parrots. LLMs do understand an aspect of reality", yet your post here ends with "in the end there's a human in the loop making a judgment call", explicitly acknowledging that your strong initial claims are matters of opinion, rather than established facts supported by hard metrics.
My approach was to sync by hand and it's kinda my value prop here since I went deep in both worlds.

The automation promise seems amazing but I still haven't seen something that really works. For a given design, a designer can create it in countless variations using Figma, while developers can write their code in numerous different ways to implement that design. My solution was to provide an essential layer of comps that everyone can agree on.
How was I "verbally abusing" the poster when all I did was ask for some clarifications?

"CEO only cares about money" is a completely shallow statement when it doesn't provide concrete examples to understand the context.

Time off is being denied because of "non sensical rules", how about providing us with examples of these rules so we can provide perspective in return?

"The world is ending!!!!" How so? Why is the world "crazier" today than it was 5 years ago? What specific struggles are we talking about here?

If all the poster wanted was a nice pat on the back without any concrete opinions or attempt to put things in perspective they should have said so.
It makes sense if your password is something like hc0z3kjwedngwh4hgwct0-hunter2.
Life on submarines differs substantially between nations and types. Nuclear boats are pretty large, operate in the ocean, and spend their deployment below the surface. In contrast, non-nuclear boats (diesel-electric, hydrogen fuel cells) are primarily small, tend to operate in littoral zones, and may spend time on the surface regularly.

In any case, WW2 submarines were torpedo boats only diving when necessary. The battery capacity of a German Type VII or an American Balao class was measured in hours, not days. Before snorkels reached operational status, boats had to completely surface for recharging; that is not the case anymore.

I think life on a Type VII was much nastier than on a modern Type 214. The engine was extremely loud, exhaust fumes were regularly in the air, and it was cold and incredibly cramped. Living conditions are much better on modern subs, even if space is still at a premium, especially on smaller boats.

What surely remains is the sense of camaraderie because of a shared fate; each sailor's life depends on the boat functioning as a unit. In that sense, nothing has changed.
That keyboard looks awful.

What is the benefit of this screen anyway? It seems to sacrifice the image quality of the thing you want to focus on: what's on your laptop display for the ability to see something you're usually trying to ignore: whatever is behind your laptop.
I don't personally care about wealth inequality (or more specifically, I don't care that Jeff Bezos has more money than me - if he suddenly became poor, my standard of living wouldn't change).

For me the bigger issue is not that the elite have so much money, its that they have egregious carbon footprints, while telling the little people they need to sacrifice their standard of living to save the planet.

Read the other day, Jeff Bezos yacht, even if it is sitting idle for the entire year, has a bigger carbon footprint than 80,000 people using a gas mower to mow their lawn for a season. And of course, it doesn't sit idle all year, so the carbon generated could be multiple times more than that.

Until the elites and politicians actually start sacrificing, they have no right to lecture me on what I need to give up. I already have a carbon footprint 100's of times smaller than Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Bill Gates Jeff Bezos - they can all go pound sand if they want to tell me I need to dump my propane stove or gas lawnmower to save the planet.

P.S. "unicode-width is to get accurate string widths for monospaced terminal fonts including full-width Unicode characters. I’m pretty sure this is an impossible problem" ― it's not impossible, it's just that different terminals (and different terminal fonts) have different ideas on the amount of screen cells occupied by the Unicode codepoints and the chances that they will coincide with the ideas of the Unicode library your app uses are pretty slim. For instance, '\N{WOMAN}\N{ZWJ}\N{HEAVY BLACK HEART}\N{VARIATION SELECTOR-16}\N{ZWJ}\N{MAN}' could be either 2 cells if your terminal and font support the single combined 'Couple with Heart: Woman, Man' emoji; or 6 cells if they fall back to displaying it as a sequence of 'Woman', 'Red Heart', 'Man' emojis; or 5 cells if your terminal fails to recognize that '\N{HEAVY BLACK HEART}\N{VARIATION SELECTOR-16}' actually takes 2 cells, not 1: GNOME Terminal 3.28.2 for instance, does that although it still paints the 2-cells wide 'Red Heart' emoji which leads to visual overlap ― how do you even account for that?!

> We will just have to deal with the consequences while we try to innovative our way out of this mess.

We've already innovated our way out of this mess. We have all the technology available now to decarbonise the economy (well, mostly; we're still a bit limited in a few areas; but we can get a lot of the way there).

Covid is a good example. In most of the liberal democracies people accepted the restrictions their governments argued were necessary to combat Covid. I think these restrictions were significantly greater than what is needed from individuals to combat climate change.
> All that matters is purchasing committees are ok

Large enterprise purchasing committees are foremost concerned with risk, you absolute dolt.

The risk that price will jump 12x, requiring all kinds of scrambling, is fucking awful.

Funny how environmental activists were powerful enough to kill the nuclear energy but not the fossil one.

I am not going to go into every nuanced issue, but to give context rounding errors alone costed us hundreds of thousands of dollars in customer support and eng time. I am talking Office Space style fractions of pennies type problems. Mostly due to how long it was an issue before it was caught.

Sure we could have probably botched implementation of some vendor, but we made every dumb mistake you could make and instead of doing it slowly we did it at scale.
You can form companies with all kinds of specific purposes, however, if you want to attract investors (or even attract general public investment by being a publicly traded ompany), then don't be surprised if most investors want to invest in companies whose explicit purpose is making money for the investors.

There was Nokia Meego, which was arguably better than both iOS and Android at the time. (The Nokia N9 is still one of the best smartphones I've ever owned). But it's hard to fight against software platform effects where the largest provider takes over the entire market.

Climate activists are to blame for much of climate change because they advocated against using one risky form of energy production?
There were other options and the option of reducing energy usage (and standard of living).
So I agree that activists might be responsible for nuclear energy decline in the west, but not that they are to blame for climate change because of that.

Most of the travel eSIM services resell a SIM from a carrier in country A that has a favourable roaming agreement with a carrier in country B (where you want to use the service).

I just signed up for the Firsty app from the UK, and the eSIM it gave me appeared to be issued by Play Poland (https://www.play.pl). This then roamed on the EE network in the UK (https://ee.co.uk).

As the SIM is roaming, there's no practical way for any KYC requirement to be enforced. This is the same as if an AT&T customer in the USA visited India (for example) and roamed onto an Indian network.

Some of the eSIM providers like Airalo do offer certain plans with KYC requirements, but that's only for a minority of countries.

>Many many apps are made with JS, HTML and CSS and run in a thin wrapper on top of WKWebView (Cordova, nowadays Capacitor). It is Electron sans a browser engine and has been around forever.

I know, I already covered all that.

>They only change how apps are deployed. Hence, your whole point about "better quality apps by banning PWAs" is completely wrong.

I didn't say banning PWAs will result in better quality apps in general. I said:

(1) "Add to home screen PWAs" are not that used in the first place.

(2) "PWAs wrapped as native apps" are, but iOS encourages native apps more.

(3) Giving more parity to PWAs (going the opposite route of the current removal) will encourage them to be used more, which I don't particularly like, for the same reason I don't like Electron (including iOS wrapped-PWAs).

Artist tracing through it? Make a transparent pen tablet, not the screen.

Even the most ferverent of artists will be spending more time doing other things than actually tracing.

If the pixels were solid, and ideally variable transparency, rather than just semi-transparent, the panel itself would have a number of applications.
Some of these changes by Apple are clearly user hostile. There's a consumer protection debate to be had about removing software features after selling a hardware + software package like this.

I think at least some of the "apologism" and "distraction" comes from more honest ideological differences though - like what should the role of the state be, what is a free market, should business be fair, how much consumer protection is the right amount...
Looking at the big picture, what I get is, in part: Elon is a walking second system syndrome instigator. Both Starship and Cybertruck have a classic set of symptoms. Both are the result of having the self-confidence of a first generation gen-AI chatbot, which enables him to stop listening to the competent people he hired and believe that his own ideas are what created successful products. Watching Starship and and Cybertruck happen is the second act of the Elon opera.
> I had just asked about projects using generators in Python. Gemini suggested caching. But then it decided I could be breaking the law just by writing code that runs on my laptop and censored itself.

No, that's not what happened. It didn't 'decide' anything; they don't do that. The censorship misfired, as is common on these things; no-one, whether human or magic robot, has decided that caching is dangerous illegal behaviour (in the general case; there are obviously edge cases where it is both).
He's probably referring to this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39405547 that made the rounds a few weeks ago, and bungled the meaning ("executive compensation / stock" rather than "executives and stockholders than on R&D").
What's silly is this comment, as it has in no way furthered the discussion. It only enables one to feel smug for a hot minute. Surely you're smart enough to infer that "natural causes" are said in contrast to "human-made causes".
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if solar is cheaper, why isn't it the dominant energy source today?

Seems like a win win, people get cheaper energy all without force. Generally the market chooses the best product, which is why we replaced horses crapping all over our cities with cars. It wasn't legislation or some global consortium of governments that phased out the horse, it was a better product. What am I missing here?

Show HN: Synmetrix – Open Semantic Layer
Synmetrix (prev. MLCraft) is an open source data engineering platform and semantic layer for centralized metrics management. It provides a complete framework for modeling, integrating, transforming, aggregating, and distributing metrics data at scale.

Use cases

* Data Democratization: Synmetrix makes data accessible to non-experts, enabling everyone in an organization to make data-driven decisions easily.

* Business Intelligence (BI) and Reporting: Integrate Synmetrix with any BI tool for advanced reporting and analytics, enhancing data visualization and insights.

* Embedded Analytics: Use the Synmetrix API to embed analytics directly into applications, providing users with real-time data insights within their workflows.

* Semantic Layer for LLM: Enhance LLM's accuracy in data handling and queries with Synmetrix's semantic layer, improving data interaction and precision.

Synmetrix leverages Cube (Cube.js) to implement flexible data models that can consolidate metrics from across warehouses, databases, APIs and more. This unified semantic layer eliminates differences in definitions and calculations, providing a single source of truth.

You’ve just switched out the argument for a different one.

I was saying that the difference between revenue and profit is irrelevant for the purpose of this argument. You’re now trying to draw an analogy with what I said and gatekeeping features behind subscriptions, which is not what I called irrelevant.

The analogous situation is if you said BMW were no longer a car company for doing so, and I’d disagree with that as well. Apple makes tonnes of money selling hardware, BMW makes tonnes of money selling cars. Apple is still a hardware company and BMW is still a car company.
>What is the use case of a transparent screen with what looks like terrible resolution, colour fidelity and viewing angles? Especially when laptops are so low on the desk one can see what's behind just by lifting their head.

I could see it being useful in an Augmented Reality context, perhaps as an overlay for an existing physical interface .. maybe this prototype has some issues that would make that unwieldy, but in general the whole concept of transparent displays has some validity.

Synthesizer guys could use it to restore their patches on old analog gear with no patch memory (okay you can just use your phone for this too..) .. aquarium users might use it to analyze their fish health, and so on.

Definitely some uses cases..
